I have purchased an AquaC Protein Skimmer and I am wondering if I need to also keep my Fluval cannister running. I am only using the two foam filter media in there and nothing else at the present time. I am hoping the Skimmer will bring down my Trates which are running at 40 to 80!

I got him!! I noticed that he comes out when I am feeding my fish and inverts. He had a Scarlet Leg in his claw and I was able to hit him with a plastic rod that I use for moving things around. He was so ingtent on his prey that he did not notice me sneaking up on him. He was the siZe of a half...

Thank you for the idea. I will try that if no other ideas come in. He is BIG!!

So far I have gotten two Mantis Shrimp out of my Gulf LR and now I just found a Gorilla Crab. Never saw it before and I have had my LR in there since the beginning of January. He is about the size of a quarter right now but how much bigger can he get before I can catch him. I got the Mantis...

Write me at albon@alhofmann.net and I can put you in touch with a seller in the Tampa area which is not far.

I don't know what it is but I live in Cape Coral and would be interested in seeing your SWA, sounds interesting. My email address is al@alhofmann.net

I would be glad to tell you. I got it direct from the diver up in Tampa. however,I don't feel it proper to put his info on this thread. Email me at al@alhofmann.net and I can tell you about the price etc.

This thing has a hole at the top that is open in various sizes and sometimes it sort of squeezes together and then expands back to this size. We call it the cactus because of the spines? that seem to catch everything floating by.

This is another view.

My LR is now 10 days old and I have this thing sitting on one of them. I thought it was very interesting so I placed it's rock on top with it upright. It seems to have turned towrd my lights and leans over! It is sometimes "deflated" and the top has an opening that sometimes opens up quite large.

This is a what my LR looked like in the sixth day. I am very pleased with it.

No, the tank is only in the seventh day of LR and he came in on it. He may have dined on the animals on the rock but I do not have fish yet. The LR had all kinds of other animals on it. Found two bristle starfish and many other inverts. The shrimp is gone! I was so glad to get him out that I...

I made a trap using a 2 liter bottle and put a piece of fresh shrimp in it and caught my resident Mantis Shrimp in less than 24 hours. Sure is better than taking out all of the rock.

Here's the Mantis - I think. My LR was full of life including Brittle Stars, lot's of clams and crabs (most died).

I am in my first week of SW LR and LS. Actually the LS is about 3 wks old and the LR is now 6 days. I hated al the die off but am real pleased with the appearance of the tank. The only problem is, I think I have a Mantis Shrimp. It is fast as lightning and I am unable to catch it. It is almost 2...

I live in Cape Coral FL. and got a 54 Gallon Corner Tank for Christmas. I also got a 303 Fluval Pump, heater (which I don't think I need) and purchased test kits and a Maxi-jet 1200 Power Head. I was offered by some of my friends that live on SW canals here the Rip Rap rock that is put up...
