change the 5K into new crisp $1 bills, fill a bathtub with them, and sit in it while I read a book.

12. I don't need to pick my fish's poop up in a bag.

+1 I moved my tank a couple times. The way I do it: - put fish in ziplock bags w/ tank water. keeps them from getting thrown around in buckets. - fill buckets w/ water from tank - add LR to buckets making sure not to overflow. add bagged fish and seal bucket tops -leave sand in tank with just...

totally harmless and actually kind of pretty. i"ve got those in my tank too, they actually are not big on light like most anemones. they like the night and small caves and overhangs

good ideas.more would be appreciated.

I've got a friend who just put together a 2 gal tank. He has the rock and substrate, and i gave him some small mushroom polyps. The question he keeps asking me is what fish he should get. So I put it to ya'll. What would be a nice small fish he could keep in a two gallon tank?

cool, thanks for input. I left the tank with my friend for a couple months and it looks like he was overfeeding a bit. They just come out of everywhere now when I feed the tank. Heard using some nylons with piece of shrimp will catch some, wonder if anyone has had any success because those...

I have a ton of bristleworms in my tank. I know that they are beneficial and keep the sand bed stirred up and they also keep the LR clean on the inside. Awesome, I'm all about that. What I want to know is how many is too many and how big is too big? I have a 29 gal with corals and fish. 20 lbs...

definetly sounds like a mantis shrimp

Yes it happens, it's kind of like a last ditch defense mechanism. Your CBS should grow it back after the next couple of molts

your lighting sounds good enough. That is what I have on my 29 gal, 2 10,000k and 2 actinics. The maturity though may be an issue. I kind of just let my tnak do its own thing for about 4 months with nothing but a CUC. The pod population exploded and other beneficial critters popped up over...

How do you lower pH in a tank? I've got a 29 gal reef and params are: amm = 0 trite = 0 trate = <10 phate = 0 calc = 400 - 450 pH = 8.8 - 9.0 Stock: RBTA mushrooms frogspawn torch smith's blenny CUC - cleaner shrimp, SS star, red leg hermit, snails Any help would be appreciated, the last time...

You don't need to feed anemones, all they need is sunlight.

After dripping did you float them? Maybe it was a temp shock; it does seem like your tank is a little warm. I keep mine at 76. After drip acclimating something, I float them in a bag for about 30 minutes so that I am sure that the temps are the same.
