    Ok. I have a thought, If I use a big plastic tube and put it around the sea pen during feeding and use filter food in that with a koralia to swirl it around..Would that improve its feeding?

    I'm probably in trouble but - Sea Pen

    They lack symbionts and being non-photosynthetic, they need to be fed, and fed a lot. They prey on tiny plankton such as invertebrate larvae, ciliates and the like, so you'll probably need to start culturing rotifers if you hope to keep it alive (even newly hatched Artemia are usually too big...

    I had to have this little beauty. He will be going into my 55 Gallon with the semi deep sand bed and good flow. Plan on using this nice prepared filter feeder food I have and keep his lighting subdued.. At least on his favorite sitting spot.

    75 Gallon Setup - Stocking Question.

I actually have the box parts of a sump, even the part that hangs in the tank its just missing a motor and that hose that goes from the box in the tank to the box hanging on the back. How do you actually get those two boxes...

    75 Gallon Setup - Stocking Question.

    Nah not my first. I did forget to say I have 2 Koralia #1's going in as well as a power head that can create a whirlpool in a 55 gallon tank blowing from one end to the other. As for a sump.

    75 Gallon Setup - Stocking Question.

    I had originally planned this as a sea horse tank, however the more I read and the warmer it gets here the more I feel that they would not do well with me until I get more experience keeping fish.

    Best way to discipline a child?

    I have never had children so I cannot comment on what has worked for me. However, I can comment on what did well on me as a child. Consistency is important, boundries and rules. Animals do it and it works well, spanking is fine as long as it doesn't become abusive because there is a difference...

    Dipping live rock

    Lately I've been wanting to dip my live rock to get off any flatworms and other nasties. If I dip this in something like "Reef Dip: Coral Disinfectant" will it harm the good stuff? will it even kill the flat worms? It claims to be able to kill Bacteria, fungus, and protozoans.
