Just moved to Asheville, NC. Anyone know a good lfs? Thanks!

How long have you had them?

I have read that before and am prepared to do so if I need to. It looks like a great way to produce pods. Thanks for your reply, I had not thought that it would stop eating frozen food if introduced to pods. Thanks!

I just saw a Mandarin eagerly eat a mix of frozen mysis, brine, and reef plankton at my lfs(all of which I currently feed my tank). I think I'm going to try her in my 29 biocube. I am sure I will get flamed for this bigtime, but she is very healthy and fat and like I said she was eating very...

I just got a 7.99 green one this week, its not very big, about a nickel like was said earlier.

Yes the back is completely full!

What do you mean by the tank crashing or failing? Tank crashing is caused by hasty decisions and stocking too much, too quickly, and poor water quality. This setup will not CAUSE the tank to crash or fail. My heater is fully submerged, I don't know the answer to that question.

I'm also interested in the candy cane lighting info!

Will 1 be ok with my 6 line wrasse? The 6 line is good with my clowns and bicolor blenny, and has not caused any problems! Thanks!

If you do what I did, the water level will be WAY above the maximum line!

I was interested in doing the same thing, and I did some research, and this is what I plan to do. It is information on how to culture copepods and rotifers. I'll keep everyone updated as I should begin in about two weeks. I don't know if they will allow this info but here is a website. If...

How is the Mandarin doing? I reaaaaaally want one in my 29, but everyone says it cannot sustain enough pods and they will starve. Whats up? :thinking:

Well, I'm going to give it a shot. Is there any food that the pods feed on, I am thinking I need to suppliment with something, maybe phytoplankton? Will they feed on the chaeto?

In the first pic, do you see the red area I drew in? That is what I cut in order to allow the entire back to fill up! The filter is just an Aqua Clear filter insert foam. It just catches everything before it gets into the back. This has solved a lot of problems I was having with the water...

Yes, but can they be raised in a small tank by themselves, with live rock, maybe some pvc or something for them to hide and gather in? I am talking about a tank JUST to raise pods. Is that possible anyone?

Are purple, pincushion, or pencil urchins safe for soft corals?

Yes I have a 50 watt heater, it fits in the first chamber on the right in the back.

Thanks for all the input guys, they aren't for my biocube, but after all this info, I think I will add 1 purple to my biocube!

RO means "reverse osmosis". It is a very pure water. I would suggest you take everything VERY slow and do some reading in the archives on this site and maybe get a beginner's book, thats waht I did!

What do pods need to survive and reproduce? Do people use smaller tanks exclusively to raise pods the way I have seen live brine done? Can this be done and how? :thinking:
