All of the cams are working fine for me. What kind of internet connection do you have?

I have IE 7 and i honestly have clicked on all the links you have up. The box where the live view would come up is there, but nothing ever shows up. do i have something turned on for security reasons causing the problem?

It probably is a little...keeps the skimmer busy, but what's a tank without some fish? I too would like to see the SPS start to take off....

I wished I would have been able to get some photos of the pistol shrimp digging out his new home. It was back behind some of the rocks. The Blue Spot gobbie stood watch over him as he was burrowing out his home. Haven't seen him since, but I can hear him every now and then.

Finally got a couple of picture of one of the horseshoe crabs I added a few weeks back. I put 3 of them in the tank and it isn't ofter that they come out from hiding.

They really are but you don't see them out that often, I just see the sand moving every once and a while..........

Head to tail they are probably 4". I'm not sure how big they can get in an aquarium, but in the oceans I've seen them more than a foot, head to tail.

This question is for goodwin only because of the number of tangs in his tank but anyone feel free to answer. I have 3 yellow tangs. They suffered from HLLE because I was ignorant and was unaware of the nutritional requirements of tangs. On a scale from 1-10, 1 = least HLLE, 10 = most HLLE, one fish was a 1 one was a 5 one was a 10. I have had them all about the same amount of time. Aprox a year. I have been adding marine vitamin C to there food and giving them brocolli, which they devour. The 1 and the 5 are back to basically perfect. The 10 however, still has some paleness on his face and his color is not comming back. I have been treating for about 3 months and feeding the brocolli for about 2 weeks (brocolli had the fastest and most impressive effect. Vit C almost nothing). My question is how long does it take for a tang to heal or is it a permanant scar and the fish is probably as healthy as it is going to get?

SWF.com says this:
"When most people think of Horseshoe Crabs they think of these huge crabs they they've seen on TV or in the Zoo. On the contrary, the Horseshoe Crabs Saltwaterfish.com offers are only an inch or two in size. "
I've asked around, and nobody I've talked to says that a Mini horseshoe crab exists... that all will get huge eventually. If this is true, I don't know what anybody would even ever sell them. Anybody know more about this?
