    How to get Green Hair Algae off of LR??

    Damsel- It looks better. It does not appear to be coming back right away. I have my lights off except for about 1 hour per day. My emerald green is dancing weird and jumping on his back, I think he is either molting or dying. I am hoping for the former. There are tufts floating around of hair...

    Live Sand in a bag?

    JRX7- Not sure where you are in NY but if you are downtown or in the 5 boroughs, there is a great place in NJ that is an easy drive from Manhatten. Travel over into NJ, either bridge will do, when you get to Newark, find your way onto RT 22 south. On this road there are 3 saltwater shops. I have...

    SPONGES

    VKESUyou are correct they are sponges. The colored things that look like egg casings are sponges. They are nothing to worry about. As for the tentacles that come out, I think that there are just some of those worm things (I forgot the name) in or around the sponges, but they are most likely two...

    getting pods from refug to tank?

    Turkey baster will work well, suck them out and put them in the main tank. After a while they sucj propagate to the main tank, but this will facilitate the transfer.

    How to get Green Hair Algae off of LR??

    Thanks Jess and everyone else... My crew is just not cutting it. Yesterday I took out all of the rocks and scrubbed everyone down with a tooth brush, then I rinsed the rocks with fresh saltwater, and put them back in. It looks much better. But I am afraid it will grow back. I have one emerald...

    WHITE OUT

    you could of had some type of spawning going on. Maybe some critter in the tank released it's egg's/sperm. This is not a bad thing but can quickly degrade the H20 quality. If you have fan worms and they look like they are all sitting fat.... it could be. The fan worms and other filter feeders...

    food of blue leg hermit crabs?

    Class Clown is right they are just oppurtunistic animals. When something is dying they will eat it. If a snail is healthy and flipped over on it's back helplesss, and MR. Blue legs walks by , he will most likely eat it..... Just part of evolution

    Fav. Cleanup Crew Member

    Abalone- coolest ever. Like a snail without a shell... It looks like an all terrain vehicle that moves fast and cleans everything in it's way. Cleaner shrimp are a very close second, in terms of friendliness.

    Convert Fresh to Reef

    seems like no one wants to answer this one.....IT is a large question. There are various sites out in the WWW that give pointers on how to convert, but it is pretty simple. I converted a 30 gallon over about 3 years ago. I drained the tank out of all water and gravel. I then wahsed it very well...

    Predictable disaster

    I second that. I was actually moving LR around in my tank, back when I had a strip hood on my tank. The strip hood was still on so I could see in the tank, but it was not seated fully on the top of the tank. Needless to say, I bumped it, and the end fell in. Now imagin having two hands up to...

    fire fish?

    I have had one for over 1.5 years now, a little skitish, sleeps under a rock. Fast as hell, but beautiful to look at. No problems with my blue legs or red legs.
