    Mixing shrimps

    I am setting up an anemone tank for both show and propagation, thought I would add some spotted or Pedersons anemone shrimp and already have the cleaners in there, hence the question. Can move the cleaners to the other tank but it's going to have peppermint(s). Might have to part with a shrimp...

    Let's Talk About ~Algae Control~

    I have had cyano come and go in several tanks. Used to try and clear it with chemicals which worked in 3 tanks and in the 4th led to a bad reaction, so I don't do it anymore. Ultralife seemed ok but can crash ph, the other brand really messed up a tank long term. Either way these products don't...

    Interesting maxi-jet mod

    The Full Monti... that's good! I don't think anyone else caught that. Great idea... My maxijet 1200's seem like they should push more water than they do. Course the buildup on their intake screen doesn't help. Why is it the tangs never finish that last bite? Tang leavings are clogging all my...

    Hardwood killing coral

    One thing another person could do instead of housing your stuff in their thriving healthy tank is put it all in a cooler with a bunch of filters, heater and powerhead, and a pc light. Or if the anemones are moving then 2 coolers so they don't kill the coral. I have done this in a similar crisis...

    Ending for this hobby

    We all want you to stay! If it is a matter of not being able to care for the tank at this time, maybe you can arrange for some of us to do so. I bet one or more of the students/budget reefers would in exchange for frags or dinner. That tank is important not just to the reef community, it brings...

    Mixing shrimps

    What about cleaners with true peppermints? Cleaners with Pedersen's anemone shrimp? Anyone have experience with these combos? Kate

    Green Dotted Black Ocellaris

    I did mean the fish sans spots (: So if we name the fish it dies? But I never name any of them! Well, I did name the beautiful coral eating potters angel, Lilith. She's lives with anemones now and won't touch them. She also tried to eat the mantis shrimp, if she succeeds I will have to upgrade...

    White "Fuzz" on Zoanthid Colony

    Aw shucks (: I just know what it feels like to loose a lot of stuff and I did do that huge bunch of work after my zoas all started dying, they are back and growing. Even got their colors back. But sometimes I need to be better about dips and quarantine myself. I lost all my acros a bit ago, have...

    good results with aiptasia remover

    Just make sure you use enough to totally kill the aiptasia or it will come back, and if it breaks up they actually are spread this way. I turn the flow off before doing it so the droplets don't land on mushrooms or zoanthids. Melted a few zo's that way, they were right there with the aiptasia...

    "April 1st" Member Showcase

    Wow, I am going to totally redo my tank like that!~ Hey, I found out that you can use regular garden slugbait to get rid of nudibranchs, that was a big discovery when I used some rocks from my garden in my tank. Thought I would pass that tip on since they are such a problem for so many people...

    Scary outlook for Coral Reefs

    This actually has been happening for years but nobody heeds the call. Just think of a world without reefs, mass disaster and heartbreaking. 3 rare whales washed up today in Florida, totally starved to death. Seabirds have been starving to death off the coast of Oregon for the last few years, and...

    anenome id

    What are their sizes and do you know if they have any bumps or spots on the "stalk" or around the mouth? What color is the stalk... where did they come from? The one that looks like a corallimorph could be very large, hard to tell from a picture. It looks like a ricordea to me but they don't get...

    Green Dotted Black Ocellaris

    Hi, It might be good to order some of the meds you don't have so that you have them at hand, and store in cool and dark place. I have quite the assortment now myself. Olympia too is hard to find stuff in unless you want expired meds. I don't think you needed hypo, but maybe what you meant is...

    vacation planning

    Hide the magnetic algae scraper (: Kate Whose neighbor said what the heck and mixed the 2 part buffers together before dumping them in the tank. And overfed.

    Bahamian Profiles of reefs, rocks and puddles

    I think it's smart of them to ban foreign inverts, if nothing else it's respectful of the rest of the caribbean. Too bad for you though, but hey, you can pick up stuff off the beach and live where it isn't 50 degrees and raining all the time so I guess I don't feel too bad (: I don't want to...

    Bahamian Profiles of reefs, rocks and puddles

    50 bucks, that's insane! Man are you lucky the internet was invented (: Crazy stuff. I think we will all have to visit you, you will have to schedule carefully so you can still have a life. Can you have non native marine inverts? Are there a lot of responsible reef keepers around in the...

    Bahamian Profiles of reefs, rocks and puddles

    You sure are getting a lot of great pictures, thanks! Post 85, the 3rd picture, you said you didn't know what it was... looked like Siderastrea or star coral to me. The zoanthids look great though, and that pointy coralline algae in post #51... love that! I like plants. That conch salad looks...

    White "Fuzz" on Zoanthid Colony

    Hi, I like to first wait and see what the moderator says... but here I go anyways. The thing I notice first off is that you have a 250 watt MH light on a fairly small tank. That's a lot for a newly shipped specimen, so I hope you put it in a shady area off to the side. It would have been...

    new store!!!!

    When I was working at an LFS I contacted Remora. They said they will not allow anyone to sell them online so you need a photo of your storefront, tax ID number and a few other things to get going. But Marine Depot has them, and a few other big sellers that don't have storefronts... Here is their...

    DIY Seio 1500 magnet mounts

    Awesome idea...I hate having to mess around in the tank adjusting the darn things, and I have lost coral when a pump fell. Kate
