Can we get people off of heroin by taking away the injection needles and hypo-acclimate them to an environment free of icky stuff for at least a few weeks or more?

you are only talking days of storage here. If you buy completely distilled water then you can be assured it has no oxygen dissolved in the water (its friggin distilled). But if you have "seawater" then it is probably oxygenated and will retain that oxygenation better if sealed. As stated earlier...

you are usually better off adding tap water than unaerated store bought water. You cannot over-aerate water.

you have made your list and checked it twice. funny that you asked about how much sand? We know that you are investing into this 450 but we still dont know what you want to do with it. EVERYTHING you put into this tank will have a relationship with everything else you put into this tank. What...

oh yeah...one more thing. Im not sure those [hr] gobies dont eat my pods.

Im trying to grow copepods in my sandbed. I think anything that stirs the sand and doesnt eat copepods is good. But what the hell do I know ...Im on a new tank adventure. The health of a sandbed in an enclosed environment is relative to your purpose. What do you want the sand bed to do for you...

As you know I have a 65 with 40 sump. I only have your live rock (thank you so much), a beginner damsel(1 in), a coral banded shrimp, and a constantly-crapping healthy feather duster. I have been trying to grow the sand with the hopes of hosting and possibly mating mandarins. At this time, the...

In the early 1970's America was going through a schizophrenic transition in which a stew of authoritative rebellions were brewed with false accusations and resulted in a mutual environment of mistrust. The VietNam war seathed under every headline and the voices of that time tried to break...

That is cool and good luck with the clowns. Another tale of tankmates. I don't remember the species now (it was long ago), but it was some kind of expensive shrimp. I placed him into my tank and immediately the porcupine puffer made lunch of his right claw....the shrimp bolted straight for the...

Bang Guy, Im gonna eat those words until I find where I read this. And no, lol, I do not have a rare ricordea....I did find that there are several rare species documented, but I still cannot find where I read about the non-mushrooms...just kept it in my head for the last several years without...

It is late and maybe you and I should have an email converstation offline.

I asked a fairly serious question. Im not trying to sidestep any conversation, but I believe a microscope is mandatory for coral tanks. In addition it can be used for SO many other interesting things. Why is it, do you think, that everybody on EVERY reef board gets hung up on the trade/industry?

holy cow, did you go to frag heaven? I want to ask a very serious question. ok? Do you own a microscope? Rickster

Originally posted by Saltwatergal . I wish the aquarium store hadn't told me that he would be all right with the six-line and the shrimp. Oh well I guess they just wanted to make a sale. Lot of headaches trying to find and remove him with all of that rock.:( Be careful not to throw the baby...

Im happy

and with all due respect, since most of us cannot get access to such rare frags...then I think you you owe this thread an update every now and again....what do you say?

With all due respect Mark, Not all Ricordea are shrooms. He didnt say what species he had so I posted (somewhat rudely) that you should never place an object on top of a coral or any other aquarium animal. But my best response seemed to be that IF it was moving at all... then it was NOT a...

The longest survival of any kind of crab is believed to be around 30 years...in the wild! There are some reports that some have kept a single hermit for that length of time. I don't believe it. Even if you folks get a favorite "hermit" the likely lifespan is likely to be about 1-4 years in an...

Having said all that, I do want to say that I did see my lobster do the most extra-ordinary thing! I was harassing him to the point where he had nowhere to hide so he climbed upon a rock and "swam" to the top of the powerhead. He carefully positioned himself to fall into the current of the...

I bought a purple lobster here. The only reason he is interesting is because I keep harassing him by moving his rocks. I can only do this because the tank doesnt have a lot of LR. I show him off to my young nieces whenever they come over for a visit. The animal sits all day and does nothing...
