    Sally Lightfoot and Peppermint Shrimp

    yeah I'm beginning to find that out. It's too bad though, cause they are an interesting creature. What about an anemone crab? Anyone had any experience with one of those?

    Yeah I have a ten gallon nano tank but those pictures are amazing. I'll def look into the two resources recommended. I'll try to get some pictures up soon. I just need to find my digital camera...lol. Cross your tank looks awesome! I really like that aquascape. I have already purchased a lot...

    Sally Lightfoot and Peppermint Shrimp

    oh man, yeah I want both of these creatures out of my tank as soon as possible. Maybe I'll toss them both in my refuge but I don't really know. A pistol shrimp sounds interesting. I'll look into it!

    Sally Lightfoot and Peppermint Shrimp

    Yeah this anchor coral was a bit stressed so the shrimp started picking at it. I'm pretty sure it's a peppermint shrimp. The lady told me that both the camel and the peppermint shrimp were "reef safe"...kinda weird. I like the way the shrimp and the crab look in the tank..it's too bad. I've been...

    Help! Torch coral

    Sid, As always your suggestions are very helpful. Alright, so I suppose the next thing for me to do is get more buckets and place everything in it before the move home next week. The last time I moved things I drained about 3 gallons from the main tank and took some of the corals out and put...

    Sally Lightfoot and Peppermint Shrimp

    Alright, so here's a two part question. I made a typical newbie mistake and bought a sally lightfoot crab and a peppermint shrimp from my LFS. They recommended it and told me that they were reef safe. Yesterday the peppermint shrimp started to shred my anchor coral so I had to put the anchor...

    Why the new rules??

    Hi, I'm pretty new to reeffrontiers, but I just wanted to say that I agree with the new rule. I don't even have enough posts to put a WTS or WTB post up and I'm for the rule. I know a lot of other reef sites that I've looked at 50 posts seems pretty intimidating when you look at the responses a...

    Help! Torch coral

    The layers of sand sound like a good idea too. This may sound stupid but I kinda like the look of the sand in my tank. Would digging up the sand bed kill all the life in it?? Thanks in advance.

    Help! Torch coral

    Thats a good idea! I never thought of that. Do you think the coral will be fine without the light right after the move?

    Help! Torch coral

    well I move it for any breaks I have from college since most the people I know in town are students and are away for vacations as well and couldn't really look after the tank. Bare bottom...hmmm...I haven't thought about that one. What are the pros and cons of going bare bottom?

    Help! Torch coral

    sadly it died, but everything else is looking good. I think you were right returnofsid disturbing the sand bed caused a mini cycle and that stressed everything out. The torch and the xenia both didn't make it. Any ideas on how I can prevent this from happening the next time I decide to take my...

    Lighting Question

    alright well it looks like my next post is going to be in the equipment forum to trade for a T5 fixture lol.

    Help! Torch coral

    that could be it...but I bagged it and set it in the 3 gallons of water I had drained from the tank.

    Lighting Question

    Alright so completely unrelated to the other post a second ago. I came across a pretty good deal on a 175 watt MH bulb, ballast, and pendant that has been used on ebay. Everything is working so I bought it, since it was listed at a really good price. Here's my question though; do you think that...

    Help! Torch coral

    Alright so here's the situation. I purchased a torch coral from returnofsid (thank you again!) and it was doing great when I put it into the tank. It was probably in the tank for two days but then I had to pack up my tank and go back to Pullman. I moved everything on Sunday and after the move...

    Hey, I want to thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me and to help me out with the corals. They look great. I'm heading back to pullman tomorrow, but I'll be back in town. If you ever see anything you want just pm me. Thanks again -Kyle
