    Bamboo Shark Update

    Actualy. Im out to hatch the eggs in the 10g. Im not convinced the eggs are upset about the lack of space. Hatched, boos are less than 4" in length. In farms they are kept in 45 gallon tubs until they are moved into transit in 5 gallon containers and then end up in 5 - 8 gallon section tanks in...

    29 gallon biocube shark egg

    Right mr Knight, a foot or so. 'Boos grow well, if you feed them right. Moving sharks is tricky (trust me, iv assisted moving some of them at seaworld here in orlando). But as long as your patient (and careful, and wear a cup!) its fine. The reason mine is in a 10g right now is simply because...

    29 gallon biocube shark egg

    Hey. Good luck with the hatch. I lost one because it starved to death. Didnt figure out that shrimp are food and you cant really force feed a shark..... The other is going like a champ!. Eating mostly Ghost shrimp now. Some freeze dried too which it will snatch from the surface. I had to use...

    Moving reef tank

    I have moved my 55g tank 4 times!! Dont feed your fish the night before you move! I got myself some 5gallon gas cans and put as much water in those as I can. (i used 3 in all - 15 gallons) I got some plastic tubs from wal-mart or a DIY store (with the lid) and use those to keep water and fish...

    Help: I am going nuts here

    Your LFS is a good source of water if you wana keep spending. I usualy use city tap water that I leave to sit for a few hours. But, my tap water is pretty good, Iv tested it. Well water... that will probably need some adjusting before its really usable. I have a 60g with T-5s and its doing...

    Advice on bamboos....

    Well, I added a hood and a simple lamp to the tank. Put some carbon pad into the HOB filter and Ill carryon on doing a 50% water change with the reef tank. The little guy is swimming and eating like a chap. Seems to have lost interest in the squid.... typical. The freeze dried baby krill seem...

    AHHHH Its TOO Bright!!!!

    Hoestly, A good Filter and a HOB skimmer would be great for a tank that size. I would agree with your LFS. A sump for soemthing that small would be troublesome.... perhaps. Location, Plumbing, Power and so on. That said, It also depends on what you wana accomplish. What livestock your...

    Advice on bamboos....

    Well hot dog! I moved the shark into my bedroom and put a simple 25w lamp over the tank. Put some freeze dried shrimp in the water and before I could get back with the frozen squid, mr shark was going loopy. Gulping at the top of the water. I put the squid in anyway, the Damsel seems to like...

    low budget shark pool possibly?

    See, I was thinking that. Adding some 2x4 and 4x4s to the idea. Maybe trying some of those clear glass bricks along the top sides... that will be tough with the liner though.... Some sand. Some plaster. A lot of patience and time... Then a few bags of salt and a few buckets of water. Simple...

    AHHHH Its TOO Bright!!!!

    Okay. If the light fixtuer has the vents in the side... but no fans. Run to your local computer hardware store and but the mini fans. You should find some in with the performance cooling stuff. Might be labled as a VGA fan or something like that. Install em on one side of the fixture to pull...

But I do see it move about more when the bulb on the lizard cage goes off just leaving the daylight. Its actualy quite...

    Thinking of Upgrading!

    Well, as far as weight. If you get the corrisponding base you should be fine. Im having the same thoughts myself since Im planing to move home into a Manufactured home. Ill be setting up a 150g tank there. As long as Im sencible... (ROFL!) it will be fine!. Always go with the biggest tank you...

    Advice on bamboos....

    Well, the frosen squid I dropped in worked!. I thawed it a little in my hand in the water and then carefuly put it close to the little thing. I withdrew and kept an eye on it. Sure enough, it took it. Big lump too. Didnt quite go nuts. During the night it had to have cruised about and eaten...
