I still have a HUGE aglea problem in my tank. It has been running for three years now. 150g.This stuff grows long and thick. I was wondering if the banded gobies eat algea? I have tried all other suggetions. I use 5 stage R/O water ect. ect. no help. I am also going to try long spine urchin. I...

SistrMary, I havent decided wheather to keep it or not but if I dont please give me your email address and I will send him to you for just shipping. Hows that for a deal??!!

I just measured him and he is almost 5 inches. Rough measurement since at the moment his is not at all happy. I am discussing with my wife wheather to run up and get a 10 or 20 to keep him in. He is not very colorful like all the pics u see on line. He is maroon with a yellowish white mark on...

I guess looking back over the last three years there have been a few disappearing fishes and I have never been able to keep any kind of shrimp and turbos have been declining. So I guess this guy has cost me quite a bit of money. I feel like a king now that I have captured him. I sure hope there...

Hey tjkohler, Thanks for the forum forward. Lots of good info on Mantis. Thanks again. How do u know if its a smasher or a spearer??

I just caught him and put him in a separate tub of saltwater. I hope they are hardy. That water is a few degrees colder and a little less saline. He is maroon and almost 5 inches long. If I was to keep him in a separate tank what could I keep with him??

If I do keep him what else can be put in there with him??

I have had my 150 set up for three years. Last week I moved to a new house about 3 miles away. I introduced a few new fish and corals at the same time so the old fish and things will establish new territorys and not pick on the new guys. ( a good trick that works well when adding new stuff)...

Thanks Jon, Pics of my 150 are soon to come.:)

I just received a box of sand from SWF.com and suggestions on how to introduce it?? Just slowly dump it in or what?? Rinse or no rinse??:confused:

He looks just like a porcelain crab on steroids. Kind of fuzzy on his back.

My tank is 150. When I original bought the live rock several years ago he showed up about a year after set up. My turbo snails disappear once in a while but the shells dont appear to be cracked. I have a ton of blue legs and scarlets and I have heard they will kill the snails for their shells...

I have only one opinion on this subject. The BIGGER the BETTER. I have a 150 and am thinking about going to a 300. :)

Lately I have been hearing a loud clicking noise in my tank. I have seen a large white crab(3-4 inches across) with one huge claw and one small claw. Question is if he is making the noise or if I have a mantis. I rarely ever see this crab. How does one catch either this large crab or find out if...

Hey tjkohler, What type of additive are u putting in your water if any??

I just moved and had to move my 150. I used a bunch of 15 gallon rubber maid tubs to transfer everything. Live rock, sand,fish.coral and about 50% of the water. It takes awhile but if you have new water ready its really not too bad. I only moved about three miles not cross country.:p

Hey Megan, I think the foamy sack was from my Asteria snails. I have 10 or 20 little ones on the glass and rocks near that egg sack. I hope they keep breeding and I'll go into business. Or at least sell them to my LFS or trade for more goodie in this addictive hobby. Thanks, Don

For those who I have not talked to before, I have a gorgeous 150 gallon, 150 lbs live rock, 640 watt light system. There are a billion different kinds of critters and plants growing on my live rock. I have blue-leg crabs and asteria snails for clean-up crew, a brown tang, a ebil angel, two...

Thanks Tom , I guess I'll feel better about it when I can see a difference. Thanks, Don

I installed my new 3 million dollar ice cap system. Its 72 inches with 4 bulbs. A 03 blue, 2 50/50s and a sunburst. Total watts 640. I installed this from my previous 120 watt 50/50 system. Honestly I see almost no light difference and I don't see how it benifited me at all. Maybe my...
