    Quietest external pump?

    I will use nothing but my Velocity T4/Poseidon PS4 External Pump. It is completely silent, although it does run a bit hot it isn't enough to heat my tank.

    Will my ocelaris host a bubble tip

    I think what people tend to forget is that many of the ocellaris that are available today are not wild caught. They were born in an aquarium environment and have never seen an anemone let alone what to do with it. I'm sure that they have instinct to go to it eventually but I wouldn't expect...

    hydrogen sulfide???

    do you think my best course of action is to suck the sand out slowly with water changes? I wouldn't think it would be wise to take it out all at once as the LR couldn't handle the bioload. Thanks

    hydrogen sulfide???

    I've been doing some reading on hydrogen sulfide and noticed that it may be what's lurking in my sandbed. First off a little background on the sand. It's close to three years old now, probably 4 inches deep on average and is comprised mainly of Southdown. I switched it over from my 55 about...

    rose bulb anemone question!

    I have had this happen before after a split gone bad. I kept up with feedings and good water quality and the tentacles started to slowly regrow. Today it's back to normal.

    Just thought I'd post a few pics of the horse... I mean puppy!

    Here is Penelope's friend Eddie. He is also an English Mastiff but he is a fluffy mastiff so his coat is a bit longer. He decided to climb in the front seat while we were camping last year. Notice they tongue hanging way out like it's a 100 degrees outside. Too bad it was only 45!!!! I'll...

    Steven Pro in Indianapolis

    yes a big thank you to Steven for speaking in Indy. It was well worth the 16 hour drive :) I hope everybody enjoyed the engagement as much as I and perhaps we'll see you speak again at MACNA.

    RBTA or RLTA?

    I have been told that they only create the bulbs when they are in defensive mode. This is to help protect the mouth and vital organs. When they are no longer under stress they lengthen the tentacles. I believe this is true because when I have fragged my anemones they bulb up for a week or so...

    Home Made Food Cube Questions.

    You could probably use some eggcrate and wax paper to make your cubes.

    Home Made Food Cube Questions.

    I wouldn't think it would hurt anything. It's just another animal protein, but I'm not sure why you want to use it. When I make my own food I find the oils in the shrimp and fish keep it stuck together quite well when blended. It stays together nicely until thawed then breaks apart nicely...

    pink Skunk Clownfish

    It's hard to tell. Were they close in size. Usually the female will become larger than the other. That is typically a good way to tell. If they are close in size I would say they are not a pair. Also mated pairs don't always swim next to each other. Especially if they are new additions and...

    my condi is acting funny

    20 is quite high for an anemone to withstand. Even a Condi. The water change will help as well. How old is this tank? Also I would cut back on the feedings. What type of lights do you have? That is where it should get most of its food.

    What kind of mushroom would you say this is?

    I don't know but perhaps you should share them with me!!!:lol:

    new Anemone

    a Bubbletip or a carpet would be best IMO

    Is it ok to mix synthetic and natural salts?

    I can't see why it would too much. It has all the same trace elements. I would think the only thing to watch would be a Ph swing. It may raise or lower your alk or Ca as well depending on the age of the water and type of salt you are using.
