    Mandarin Goby Blow up

    I've seen a similar thing happen to a frog fish, but the swelling did not last more than a day, and he returned to normal.

    how many folks, still running bb setup?

    Initially, I just wanted to make it as easy for me to learn the hobby so I went with the BB approach, since I figured function before form. My latest setup is a BB solana tank, using the middle chamber as a fuge. I don't see much detritus build up as long as I keep up with the water changes of...

    LPS beauties at Barrier!

    Sorry to go off topic; I try and tell people to learn how to drive on snow/ice using frontwheel drive as I believe it teaches you how to handle a vehicle better, than just relying on 4WD. Been able to avoid accidents on my way up and down from the mtns every year since 88, and have only used...

    I am going to KILL my porcupine puffer...

    With my puffer, I used the raw frozen shrimp from the store, defrosted it and fed it by dangling the food without any parts of my hand underwater with the lights off at first. He would not eat if the light casts a shadow or my finger got in the water initially. He became a pig after about a...

    I am going to KILL my porcupine puffer...

    The rock crabs from Alki did fine for a week in my window sill during the winter. The temp got up to about 60 and dropped to 50ish but all lived long enough to be fed to the shrimp ( a week and a half). I had a dog face puffer for 5 yrs during college and that thing ate mostly thawed shrimp...

    I am going to KILL my porcupine puffer...

    What about feeding crabs or those glass shrimp from the tide pools around Puget Sound? Those lil shrimp lived for about 3 days when I fed my mantis.

    Light producing Tube worm???

    My camera did not take macro shots too well. I attempted to agitate the suspect with turkey baster and a shish-kabob stick in the dark, but couldn't get it to illuminate. http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=EP00879383A2&hid=36#GDESC mentions a bio-lumenescent polychaete, aren't tube worms...

    Light producing Tube worm???

    mmm, I do have bristlestars, but they are the kind that everyone seems to have ( tiny , black and white striping on legs, splits like mad). I will definately post pics once I return home.

    Light producing Tube worm???

    Hello folks, The other night I saw something very amazing. With only the blue LEDs on, I was watching my cleaner shrimp go after a dry pellet that had fallen between the crevices of the LR, and saw a faint 'glow' of white light coming from a shaded area. I looked behind me to check to see if...

    Worm ID please

    Ronj, did you ever figure out what these worms are? I just happen to notice these fast swimming guys in my tank after the lights went out.

    Gamer score

    Man Chadmace, I work for XBL(just a vee-dash) and I don't know anyone that has a gamerscore that high in operations. My guess is you played lots of EA titles.

    Anemone looking bad :(

    I have a very similar looking BTA, that is very faint in coloration, although it has been doing very very well. However, my anemone has never had thin tentacles for any pro-longed periods, as the sexy shrimp are usually the ones that cause this to occur. The tentacles being thin I have...

    Please help...I'm sick over this!

    Do you have any cross bracers across the top that is below the MH? I believe this is what gets damaged, and when that brace starts to crack or show signs of stress, then its bad news. I would talk to someone with acrylic experience like Jason from clear fabrications who might be able to help...

    help me get rid of fleas :p

    I think flea busters used that same substance AL G mentioned. But yeah, you have to vacuum it out after wards, and a large fan helps to keep the excess dust from settling on everything. Make sure to try and get every single square inch that is carpetted, or they may come back. Also apply...

    help me get rid of fleas :p

    Ex-Fleabuster You could try Fleabusters, not sure if they are still around, but they have an year guarantee or they will come back and re-apply the powder. Basically, they use a really fine powder that gets in between the joints of the adult fleas and immoblize them. Although the powder...

    Vermetid snail infestation

    I have a bunch in my tank as well, but aside from the larger ones ( ~1cm in diameter at the opening ) irritating the monti, they dont seem to cause much of an issue. The irritation to the monti is minimal, although i have 4 of these large ones at the base of the digi, the monti seems to re-coop...
