yah, it took me a min to find her. lol

 

[al&burke]

Hey meowzer - those SH are looking really good - I like the lite colored one as well, like you said she really blends in, had to look twice.

 

[shrimpy brains]

They are beautiful, Meowzer! Had to look for a while to find that last one! lol

 

[meowzer]

Thanks guys......I just think it is still fascinating how they change....

 

[btldreef]

Wow, that one really blends in!
Tank is looking really good. You guys need to stop posting all this stuff about seahorses, I have the itch, hubby is going to kill me if I decide to start another tank. So far there are three new types of setups I want on top of two reefs once we move.

 

[flower]

T....I read you shouldn't mix them

...I want the red grape it isn't caulerpa but it looks like it. Those tanks look so awesome. I have hair algae starting, it's just fuzz but it's there. I do a 10g water change every two weeks. I must have phosphates, the test is reading either 0 or 0.5 I can't tell on the color chart..It is an API test, my Nutrafin is over a year old so I don't think it's any good now. I could try as a comparison test.
Meowzer...only a minute??? If mine don't move I can't find them. I move the feeding tube around the tank and they come out of hiding...right in front of me the whole time.

 

[meowzer]

OK, Just added some nassarius snails, cerith, nerites, a cleaner clam, a fancy nass, and a lettuce nudi......IF this doesn;t make a difference I'm gonna cry

ALSO I have a question.....In my 5G crab tank.(LOL) it is LOADED with isopods.....the munnid ones with all the legs...LOL....are they good for horses? I am trying to figure out how to get them out and into the horse tank
any suggestions......
that is if they are good for horses

 

[teresaq]

use either a piece of sponge or filter floss, put it in the 5 gal, for a few days and then just shake it into the horse tank.

Just drop it in the tank????

 

[teresaq]

yup a big pored sponge works well, they like to hide in the wholes.

HMMMM....I don't have a sponge like that.....I do have the filter floss bags that go on the frames, or I have the bagged floss from Walmart
Do you think if I cut a piece of that and drop it in it would work?

 

[novahobbies]

The bagged stuff from wally world should work. Cut a piece of that, pull on it to open the "weave" a little, and I betcha it will do fine.
Has anyone actually seen a horse hunt isopods? I know they will go after a nice tasty amphi if they can, but I always assumed those isos were probably too small for most horses to care about. My mandarins love 'em, though...

 

[meowzer]

SO NOVA.....should I not bother if they are too small
ALTHOUGH.....I got some BIG ones....LOL....they are in a 5G with 20-25 emerald crabs and I feed them well....LOL....I love watching the emeralds go after food
ANYONE wanna buy any emerald crabs....LOL
JOKIN
sorta

 

[novahobbies]

I know someone who might want an emerald crab or three. Doesn't FloridaJoe still have his mantis shrimp? I'm SURE that little beauty wouldn't mind a crab leg dinner.
Meow, I don't know! That's why I was asking.... I've never personally seen mine hunt isos, but that doesn't mean she doesn't do it. I don't suppose it wouuld hurt in any case...they're great little cleaners...

 

[meowzer]

Well NOVA.....I tossed some munids in there.....so we shall see

 

[kiefers]

Might take you up on that Meowzer..... hahaha I'm down to one. My "Big" one died but not until he ate my elegance coral. Lol, darn thing

LOL....after tomorrow I will know how many I have left...I'll pm you if you are serious

 

[meowzer]

I added a piece of gsp to the top rock...I hope it does ok

 

[meowzer]

Added some orange fiji zoas

 

[novahobbies]

Kinda hard to see the zoas right now.....small pic, and they look like they're closed up some?
LOL I doubt you're going to have much to worry about re: the GSP. As long as the algae on the rock doesn't smother it, it will grow well.
