    Here's what's going on with my "tank life"

    Importing Butterflys We had an importation business for some years and I quit using a particular collector when he sent me some 300 of the rarest butterflys and noting else. I had to sit and watch them all die slowly and tried everything to keep them alive. I have blue spot megaprot, moorish...

    Here's what's going on with my "tank life"

    It's weird to me, and may be totally trivial to you, that the Moorish Idol was present in the "Finding Nemo" movie. It was in the fishtank in the Dentist's Office. Was kinda' cool they all escaped in little bags back into the ocean tho.

    Here's what's going on with my "tank life"

    Here is a bannerfish (even tho the photographer thinks it is a moorish) And here is a Moorish Idol: You really can tell them apart when you see them in person. The Moorish has this black & yellow snick on his snout, and has a mostly black face and white snout with the snick on it. The...

    Here's what's going on with my "tank life"

    I really don't know how those fish faired as I ended up giving them all away to stores I supplied. I didn't even take money for them and told the stores they would die, but they took them. One store claims a guy out in Richardson bought the MI's and 6 of the 10 are still alive in his 500...

    Here's what's going on with my "tank life"

    It's been my experience even if you warn them sometimes, they get them anyway... I agree with maxx tho, if everyone has problems importing those fish it seems a shame to support their removal from the wild. There are some fish that are just "doomed to die" in our aquariums. Butterflys whose...

    Here's what's going on with my "tank life"

    Alrighty you asked the right group! I have alot of experience with Butterflys from when I was importing, apparently you get them if you want them or not. I had a herd of like 10 Moorish Idols that I got to eat Omega One Flake Food soaked in SeaChem's Entice (Citris flavored extract). I am...

    My 700 Gallon Starfire Tank Project

    Welll I thought I might expound a little on our methodology and thinking on the setup of our 700 gallon. We decided to go with bare bottom and go with high flow and a TON of liverock. We have two closed loops that have PurFlow Cannister filters, so we can filter the water, or put in bags of...

    Jiddy's 220g MASTERPIECE!

    try a coke bottle, with a small rock in it. That is an awesome way to catch a fish I used it numerous times. Take the lable off the coke can (must be a clear container) then put a small rock in it or san to make it sink, and cut a hole in the side. I like to melt the hole with a lighter, so...

    What's the quietest and coolest pump??

    I got electrocuted by a mag once.... since then I get kinda' twitchy when I think about using it as a fixture in a tank.

    here i go again flatworms

    Don't give up! This is a very rewarding hobby when everything is going great, but when it isn't it seems like nothing you do works. My huswband talked about giving up, when the 700 leaked for the second time and we felt like it was the end of the world. Just hang in there and do what you...

    here i go again flatworms

    PLEASE DON'T MEDICATE! I know it sounds like a good idea but try other things, and ask yourself, is it worth loosing what you do have in the tank??? If flatworm exit kills flatworms, what else will it kill? Be prepared for a nitrate spike and possible ammonia spike. I have friends in the...

    The Ultimate Reef Vaccume!!!

    All 'yall newbs talk about using mags and maxi-jets to cyphon (spelling) the gunk out of your sumps and 'fuges. I got you all beat! That is a Sequence 3200 and a Pur Flow Cannister filter

    What's the quietest and coolest pump??

    Try a Sequence Dart. I love Sequence Pumps. they were originally designed to pump sludge off of barges, and they are super quiet. Just don't get the Durango. You want the Dart though, it is awesome, I have an old one laying around from prehistoric days, I use it to mix my salt now. When I...
