    kill the crab!

    The problem is that the crab is eating his fish so he's not going to be starving anytime soon. UGH- hope you get him soon!

    Oh no!!! My prized clown!!!

    Ugh. I'm so sorry. I love my clowns- they are such neat fish. I hope you can figure out what happened so you can keep it from happening again. Any marks on him?

    kill the crab!

    what if you just hold him down and then poke him to death with a large hypodermic needle?

    Who uses an EcoTech Marine Vortech pumps?

    Hmmm... I may have to go out and get 2 of them. I played on youtube for a while this morning and it seems that it works best with 2 pumps on opposite ends. I think 2 MP10s is exactly what I would need. whats another 400 bucks right? LOL

    Who uses an EcoTech Marine Vortech pumps?

    These things are pricey but I'm curious if they replace all powerheads in the tank? (40 gallon tank). What makes them so special other than the fact that it has a few different modes?

    Seattle Aquarium Salt Water Sales Program and NSW?

    All things considered I'm still really new to all this so this could have happened because of something else I screwed up, but I used water from them before and almost instantly had a diatom bloom. On testing my phosphates and nitrates were thru the roof while my pH had dropped to 7.8. My tank...

    Dying? Bubble tip anemone?

    Two. He stays pretty consistantly exactly how he looks in the pic. i mentioned in another thread that my tank is leaking. New one is on the way, but as soon as it gets here I will have to set up the new tank. I was hoping this guy would look a little better since more stress is rapidly...

    kill the crab!

    Do you have a deepish sand base by chance? If so you can kill/stun it by smushing it under the rock if you know where he is hiding. I've played this game with a MUCH MUCH smaller crab. he was harder to smush because of his size but instead of lifting the rock just pushed it down and sort of...

    Dying? Bubble tip anemone?

    Yep. should be- maybe slightly less than in the display tank. Speaking strictly watts per gallon my main tank is at about 7, the sump at 5.5.

    Dying? Bubble tip anemone?

    This concerns me less than having it up and die and crash my system in the process. I have never killed off an anemone but from what I hear when they die they can cause a lot of stress on the system.

    Dying? Bubble tip anemone?

    I had two anemones in my tank (40 gallons) a long tentacle haitian and a pink bubble tip. In the past they have lived together peacefully on opposite sides of the tank. Both were thriving. My tank developed a leak and things for a little crazy for a little while. The bubble tip...

    Marine Aquarium Expo 2011

    I'm not exactly sure what the most popular magazines/newspapers are since I get most my news online, but the stranger is well read and free so gets lots of readers. How exciting- I just stumbled across this thread. This will be 10 minutes from my house. SCORE!

    Hello! And classifieds question

    Its not a large tank... 40 gallons. Its been up and running for a bit over a year. Both anemones had their own sides and never bothered each other but recently my haitian anemone started moving around the tank and settled next to "bubbles". Bubbles would move and haitian would follow. I...

    Hello! And classifieds question

    Thank you! That makes sense. I'll put "bubbles" on craigslist for the time being. I swear if that critter could come out of the sump and kill me he would :D
