    Heart Broken

    I sure hope you are right. It is a 40 gallon. I didn't think anything of the shrimp, having the same thoughts as you about their breeding. The tapping last night sure brought back memories of my last one though. If it is a false alarm, I will be very happy as I have so many things living in...

    Heart Broken

    Well, a lot of time and money have been put into this and I have unfortunately lost quite a few animals in 8 years, stops...starts. But the last 3 I have really gotten the swing of things. The more patience you show and the less you throw in the thing, the more that grows naturally and...

    Heart Broken

    So, I have not posted in AGES. Life had been busy and tank life has been super. After years of screwing with this thing, I finally learned to leave it alone and it FLOURISHED! I have so much life (few fish) but it has been a blast to watch everyday for years. New things pop out all the time...

    Wtf ??

    Very true! The stuff is a menace in Lakes. There are signs on the way to Clear Lake (close to home) that specifically mention the stuff and NOT to dump it. There is another lake here in town that was TAKEN OVER by the stuff! The whole lake was a sea of green... I am in California (Northern)...

    un#@%$&*believable

    Funny, I have read so much about mantis shrimp on this site, but figured for certain I didn't have any mantis shrimp. My LR is cured and has been in the tank for awhile (months). But I couldn't keep anything alive!! My water tests were great and nothing that fragile in the tank. Then, one day...

    OT: Finish this... I knew I had found the worst LFS ever when...

    Well, mine is not nearly as bad as some posts, but it just happened today so I am still mad about it. My LFS has a very unhappy Mandarin. No LS or LR in the tank and his fins were all chewed up and he was stressing badly. I asked them to let me take him home, he was going to die in there. They...

    those annoying little feather dusters...

    Well crud. One of our tanks has a rock covered in feather dusters, not out of control but there are a lot and more coming fast, I like them. My other tank has aiptasia. Didn't know what it was before this post, went and did research and now I am not very happy. I have a lot of it and it...

    Finish this sentence: "I knew I was addicted when..."

    These are GREAT!! I can relate to WAY to many of them. Cheaper Vodka, debt, LFS(s) knowing my tank and all my family members I bring in. The bedroom....well with the ex, the tank was 2 feet from the bed, parallell. So you could have the best of both worlds. Now, it is in another room and I...

    How did everyone get their nick names?

    I love Hawks. They are beautiful, regal, powerful, calm and predatory. My daughter and I point them out to each other as we drive down the road. When I get to make a living at what I "want" to do (photography), my first subject will be hawks, indepth.

    Lawnmower blenny---your experience?

    Actually he sits on my leather, not me - he he. Looks like a comfy place though.

    Lawnmower blenny---your experience?

    I love my blenny. I too sits on my leather. He is not agressive and has made a world of difference in my tank, I was having a bit of an algae problem. He is a pleasure to watch as he is active and somewhat animated. As for the Tang in the other post, I will never have another. Mine was...

    Just My Opinion

    I read what I could of the thread that started with the question about tank size necessary for a tang and grew into a political debate. I didn't want to add more to it, but have this undeniable urge to state my thoughts separately. I hope you don't mind. I have had a 40g sw tank for 3 years...
