Adair, are you still in Richmond? You seem to be the only person in the trading forum that shows up with Richmond, Va in the search. Wondering about trading..just started up (8 weeks) a 90 gallon and was trying to find someone to trade with.

I visit a lot because that is where my family is...unfortunately I do not live there (Philly for now) and being a newbie I have nothing to trade

Sorry!

Thanks!
So looking at my coral it looks like all of my really small frags that I got for my 14g Biocube are gone. Is it possible that the peppermint shrimp ate them? Also, I put a small frag in the 12g AGA and now it has also disappeared...could the brittle star have ate it?!
I am confused....

Uh... That isn't good Adair.
Did this happen overnight?
You might have one of those coral-eating fire worms.

Where did you get your Peppermints? I hope someone didnt sell you Camelbacks instead. Did all of your corals disappear overnight or was this over a couple of days?
Also, what are you feeding your tank? Peppermints are basically scavengers but if not fed....You also have to have a variety of foods, not just a container of flake food. I have about 3 different kinds of flake, 3 granules, plus I have a couple of other containers with mixtures of the flakes and granules. I also have about 10 different frozen foods and 3 algae sheets. Make sure you have frozen foods so the pepermints get meat.

Adair, I just ran into Trainfever at Pets Plus in Northeast Philly. He is a good guy if you want to go get some caulerpa or chaeto from him for your refugium.

I have some flake and then some other sort of pellets....I think I should feed them more often. I don't think they have much to scavenge becuase there are no fish or anything....
