    keeping some crabs from Puget Sound alive?

    I would do what he says for multiple reasons. Not that it matters to me , but isn't there some laws against us taking things from local wild life and placing them in our homes? I recall being warned about this years ago when I caught a catfish from a local pond and put him in my fresh water...

    anemone wont grow!!!!

    Just place the food in the center and let him wrap around it... just hold it in place till it decides to engulf it. If it does not wrap around it and pull it in its mouth, just take the food out and try again another day.

    anemone wont grow!!!!

    I was reading about care for a bleached anenome. I bet yours will need the same. Does it still eat what you place in its mouth? Or have you even tried? Try feeding it some Krill and when he feels better try Silver Sides. If it will take food, just keep it stuffed...every 4-7 days feed it.

    Regarding algae (i know...) (also fan heads)

    We had several Algae threads pop up recently FYI if you want to go over the info in them. IF your tank is fairly new, You are cycling still…I doubt this but I need to cover this base. Algae loves to grow when, you provide the food it needs. Phosphates come into the tank several ways. Things...

    Sump/Fuge questions before I start soon.

    The main use for the fuge is just a nutrients export. My tank is dominantly coral.. just a few fish ..very few.

    Algae Problem..HELP!

    OR... Get a fuge and ADD the UV sterilizer to the outtake of the pump..and put the aptasia in there. Aptasia are great filter feeders and die hard beasts...have a Fuge full of those ...just make sure the UV sterilizer is in place or have a huge problem in the display. =p

    Whats is SPS versus coral versus hard coral

    Kramer with the coral I wouldn't stress whats the "perfect stuff to pick out" aka Cool and how to place it and pre plan it all like that... You will add corals well after cycle slowly and pieces at a time as you dwell in your local fish stores =). I say just go with the "flow"... Buy what...

    Sump/Fuge questions before I start soon.

    OK... I have picked up most of what I need to set up now. My final addition to my plans is a 10 gallon tank turned into a fuge. (home made). The Sump itself will contain a mag5 to return to my tank...the overflow will flow into a LR holder (Oceanic Sump Brand). My SKimmer will be sitting in...

    What he said below me about the LPS SPS...and advise. I would like to add... Refuge addition is something I would seriously consider. Nitrate Phosphate export is something you would really want with LPS SPS tank. And follow strict tank maintenance guidelines ..strict! Nothing like losing 60...
