    Purple Ribbon Gorg. shedding

    Thanks for the replies. I can't be happier with the health and growth of my tank thus far. Although I only have 2 gorgonians (Purple Ribbon and I believe Muriceopsis flavida) which are both photosynthetic they are doing quite well. I wish I could post some pics of the growth on the flavida but I...

    Purple Ribbon Gorg. shedding

    I assume this is normal but I couldn't seem to find on the internet exactly why this is done. Is it a growth process or simply just shedding as do leathers from time to time? The gorgonian has been being spot fed regularly with rotifers as well as plenty of phyto to the tank. So I pretty sure...

    U-district fish store

    I was told that there is a fish store in the U-district somewhere by 65th and Roosevelt I guess. Anyone have any experience with them? Also, is this the right address or somewhere near this? Thanks Aaron

    Trying to pair a yellow watchman

    I've had a yellow watchman goby for almost 2 years now. He/she is doing very well and right now is my only fish due to a downsize in tanks. What method should I use in order to try and sex another yellow watchman? To my knowledge there aren't any physical differences but is there a certain...

    Rotifers and Gorgonian Care

    I'm unaware of any fish store carrying it. I was just going to buy them offline. I do have some frozen rotifers though. I have only seen the oyster eggs online which is where I plan to get them. I do have a farely good camera but a loupe might be a little easier. They are pretty cheap though...

    Rotifers and Gorgonian Care

    Thanks for the google link. I didn't know it existed. I would like to do this as scientific and unbiased as possible, while also keeping the cost low. Being a marine bio student at UW doesn't leave you a lot of money to play around with :) . Anyhow, I'll keep you posted on how things go...

    Rotifers and Gorgonian Care

    Thanks for the help. Although I have been researching for some time, I am not finding a wealth of info on gorgonian care. Could you recommend a site or book that would help. Also,over thank is two T5 bulbs so there is not an enourmous amount of light. So, would most photosynthetic gorgonians get...

    Rotifers and Gorgonian Care

    I am setting up a species specific gorgonian tank. I have been reading for some time on the care of specific gorgonians and I will opt for ones whom are symbiotic but further down the road I plan to have some aposymbiotic sp. as well. The tank is small 10gal, with a 3.5 gallon refugium and other...

    Kids science projects

    It would still be pretty tough to calculate the velocity. Using the second formula would be the first step in finding the acceleration but keep in mind that you would have to find the time between when the catapult is released to when the object leaves the catapult because after that there is...

    Not sure what this is

    Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate are all 0. I don't have a phosphate kit at the moment but that shouldn't be the issue here. pH is 8.4 and salinity is at 35. I noticed some discolored spots about a week ago but I though they left, but here they are again. I have no serpent stars but I do have a...

    Tooting my own horn

    Very cool article. Its funny they mention your dracaena palms. Over-water and brown ends on leaves...under-water and brown ends on leaves. Surprising that it takes soo much attention to get a plant to grow well when we have corals right next to it. My dracaena is now coming back from an...

    Not sure what this is

    I've had this yellow watchman for about a year and half and he has proven to be a very hardy fish. He now has spots of discoloration which almost appear to have a whitish film on them. Any help would be appreciated. Here's a pic. There have been no changes in water chemistry as of late and I...

    Time for new bulbs

    I have the 20k de xm and I love the color. I'm not sure how the color compares in the single ended bulb but if its close I think you'll love it. Growth is notibly less than 10k's but thats to be expected. I still get about a 3rd of an inch of growth a month of my stylophora. All in all the I...

    Identifying Corals

    Don't worry I'll be the first to back you up on the geekiness. I have Veron's Corals of the World and I think its amazing. I do find it difficult to identify most species but I enjoy just looking at whats out there that I've never seen before even more.

    Question about Millepora sp.

    Yeah, sorry for the crappy description. I wasn't really worried just wondering what it was. Basically it looks as though there are tiny brownish dots sporadically on the coral. I was just wondering if this is a normal thing for a Millepora sp. to do. I was thinking that it was maybe because it...
