    Is it possible to go skimmer less in a large system?

    I have 200 gallons total with 2 refugiums and very little skimming. In fact I do not get much skimmate regardless. I will probably just disconnect it as I believe that a good refugium with a good DSB does all you need. I also perform very little mechanical filtration as I feel you end up...

    what fish should I get for my 100 gallon?

    Here is the only pic I was able to get, what kind of angle did I get? THe pic does not show it, but it has a yellow stipe down the back side.

    adding a fuge

    If you are ever north in Bellingham come by and I can give you a bunch of macro algae to get your fuge going. Plus I have pretty good deals on live sand loaded with life, worms, mysis shrimp, etc. to seed you DSB in your fuge. Plus you can check out my system. It is a little unique to say the least.

    adding a fuge

    I don't know if this will help, but what I did is connect my 25 gallon fuge to my 30 gallon sump via a HUGE homemade U-tube and it is wisper quiet and failproof. I used 2" PVC, one leg into the sump, up to a 90 degree fitting, over to the fuge (which in this case is like 4') and then connected...

    Wierd question about sand?

    what fish should I get for my 100 gallon?

    yes, my large angle (he came with the tank, yellow and blue) does appear to be a problem already. I caught him nipping at a few of my LPS and had to move them to another tank. He is only like 6" long so maybe not truly a "large" angle. Thank you for your input, I am happy with the fish I have...

    Live Rock made from concrete moulds?

    I was checking out this website http://www.smooth-on.com/gallery.php?galleryid=375&cPath=1235 showing how the tiniest of detail can be captured using latex moulds and concrete. I would think this same process could work for live rock, get some interesting shaped real pieces and make moulds...

    Zoo frag "plugs"

    I like my frags on bits of rock or shells. They look more natural

    Baby Shrimp

    so my question now, where did the mysis shrimp eggs come from? I feed frozen mysis sometimes, is it possilbe that these had eggs?
  14. travis_

    Baby Shrimp

    I picked up some frags and it was brought up that these could be Mysis shrimp? And they look pretty similar :( Oh well, if anyone wants I will still sell them to them
  15. travis_

    Baby Shrimp

    oh yeah, I meant to comment that these guys are nowhere near adulthood, they are still babies. I was just joking about selling them already :)

    Baby Shrimp

    I have anenome shrimp and peppermint shrimp in pairs. I actually have not seen the anenome shrimp since I released them in my tank, but these babies look very similar so they must be doing well somewhere. I didn't do anything to "get" them to breed, and as for feeding the babies i must have...

    Baby Shrimp

    It looks like I am the only one excited, but my shrimp are still growing and doing great. They are eating brine shrimp already. I have about 24 at least. Anyone want to buy one? It is still very hard to get a pic!

    Can I use sand and water from one tank...

    I had live rock and sand in a tub without circulation and even loss heat once (the light switch turned off) and got down to 50 F, but when I returned circulation and heat, changed out some of the water everything was fine. I did a lot of smelling of the rocks and water and nothing but the smell...

    Is 1000 watts of light for 100 gallon too much?

    thank you both, this is very informative. For the reocrd, the lights I am using are meant for hydroponics and are rather industrial. When I compare the output (mainly in the form of heat) it is roughtly the same as other 250 watts I have put my hand other. Obviously not an accurate measurement...
