    how deadly is the sea apple?

    day two. I think its safe to assume all is well. Bleach and fire are the universal killers of organics.

    how deadly is the sea apple?

    I saw mine all shriveled up and twisted in a knot today. Ive had him almost 3 years, trust me...this was a bad sign. In a panic I pulled him out and threw him in the fireplace(garbage is risky and backyard has animals). But in my haste, I got some red toxin on my finger tips. Ive heard these...

    Are pepermint shirimp eating the aptasia? Or the contents of the aptasia?

    Oh yea. I figured they would be able to release eggs to live on. But I still see a laser as a quick method to cull a population....even if you have to do it every few days.

    Need a little barebottom help. Good bottome feeder recomendation...

    I have been bare bottom and love it. But I would like to get something on those few pockets that I just cant seem to keep free of detritus. More power heads...sure, but I already have lots of electricity spent on power heads. In fact so many I wish I had less because the cords are unsightly...

    Are pepermint shirimp eating the aptasia? Or the contents of the aptasia?

    But the question is what are we seeing? Them go after the aptasia? Or the food in the aptasia's stomach?

    Are pepermint shirimp eating the aptasia? Or the contents of the aptasia?

    I heard from a couple sources that the Peppermint shrimp aren't really eating the Aptasia. They are actually tearing at the food that's inside the Aptasia. Is this myth or is there fact in this statement?

    Funny story...I almost wiped my 235g system.

    Ya, normally id probably be embarrassed to admit to something like that. Most people dont like to admit the dumb stuff they do in this hobby. But I just got a real bug up my shirt to fess up in hopes others will learn. Honestly I have a "Wall of shame" in my aquarium room. I keep the remains of...

    Funny story...I almost wiped my 235g system.

    So many wonderful controllers out there! I just went with the noob choice and got the RKL with only basic research. I knew there had to be better ones out there, but for a relatively small investment, I got something that will definitely work as a patch till I finalize a nice reliable model for...

    Funny story...I almost wiped my 235g system.

    Its a cold building. Basically a converted barn. There's no other heat, and its next to a window to allow lots of sunlight(actually pretty awesome in the summer!). I really do wear a coat when Im tending to my tank in the winter months. I dont "need" much over 1000w to keep it safely in line...

    Funny story...I almost wiped my 235g system.

    Which model Ranco are you using? How many watts can it handle? Id eventually like to hook up a total of about 1500w of heating that will all fire up in unison. And I planned on getting something a little more "industrially reliable" eventually. I can always put the RKL on something else like...

    water evap and condensation

    Ahhh. Moisture, the bane of my aquarium room! I ruined the floor in the upstairs room because I was ignorant of how bad the moisture can get when your in an area that doesnt get a lot of traffic. I went to a local grow store, you know...like indoor growing ^_^ I picked up a $15 fan. Its about...

    Funny story...I almost wiped my 235g system.

    Ok not so funny. Just a real slice of humble pie. I really hope my lesson can be passed on to someone who will remember this story: I was flipping mislabeled switches in the garage circuit board couple weeks ago, and mistakenly cut the power to 2 sockets in the aquarium room w/out realizing it...

    SEA-MAX 2011 in Seattle, WA!

    No, and I don't think that made too many vendors happy either. I heard a few mention they wish that it was for both days. People aren't willing to pay for two days...but if the second is free, they could possibly come back and spend more money.

    SEA-MAX 2011 in Seattle, WA!

    Some of the vendors were a little high. $100 for a 1/4" chip is steep no matter how "Rare" it may be. But I looked around, and in the end I walked away with 5 frags plus an amazingly vibrant Blue Maxima clam for $100. Good haul and a fun day with the family. I feel that it was a little...
