    Bristle worm question

    Hello all, Until tonight, I would have agreed that they are harmless and good clean up crew members. I received a 10 lb piece of "dead" rock for fathers day and finally added it tonite. Within 5 minutes of adding the rock I noticed a cloud of white "smoke". Within 3 minutes there were about...

    Pregnant Shrimp???

    You are correct, prego. Too bad you cant keep the babies though. Ive never tried, but heard its impossible to keep the babies alive. I witnessed mine give birth once, at dusk, 1/2 lights out, I noticed the one I thought was a male,(smaller) dancing, while the female was hanging out around the...

    My sand sifting star is dead...

    Sorry for your loss. IMO you added the SSS too early. Im no expert, but until you got at least two years in dont add any star fish. I have a 125 with 3-5 inches of sand and at least 100 # of rock. My SSS is hard to find, you see a leg here or the center of him just below the surface over...

    ID on a lobster...I think

    Hello all, my wife came accross something moving under a rock a few weeks ago. Since then we've been trying to get a good look at it. Until tonight, the only thing I saw was two arms swishing at the entrance to his cave. This lead me to think it was a pom pom crab, but couldnt tell for sure...

    Shark Attack!!!!! ... Must See Video!!!!!

    Ron Paul is considered by most who have listened to his ideas to be the best president since JFK. Since he wants to get rid of the IRS and the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK (which has nothing to do with the federal government, its a private company who loans us money and charges interest) . JFK wanted...

    mechanical vs biological

    Why is it a VS. thing? IMO using both only benefits the quality of water and stability of the tank.

    surface area...bacteria

    It might, but have you considered removing the bioball area and adding a 6500k light and so cheato? I have the proclear 150 w/skimmer.....IMO works better than bio balls.

    serious RO/DI question

    Sounds like you can get by without a plumber, if you have the faucet connector. Use that for your input, the orange for your waste water and the blue is the finished product. At least with my setup, but I have the needle valve into the cold water line. Good luck.

    Saltwater affects on furnace/ water heaters

    Thanks for the responses. I just find it odd. My tank is upstairs right above the furnace/heater. Maybe I got a bad heater and my furnace was just "due". Sux..........
