    Name the Kitty

    Tuni, that's cute, original, creative and "blue". I like cobalt as well. I was trying to think "blue" but I have "tired mother's brain" that doesn't always work. Mc Garnicle, I guess I don't watch enough of the Simpson's but I like it. Keep em coming........I like this, it's FUN

    ?Stawberry blue soft Coral?

    BlennyBabe; I have done a little studying today and you are correct. There are many names for this guy, sea squirt, lollypop, etc. I spoke with my "expert" LFS guy, (not the one that I bought it from) and he always tells it like it is.......which is, probably won't live long. when the heads...

    What do you do for ....

    I am an Oncology Certified Registered Nurse, full time Mom (single parent) of 3 teens, Caretaker of animals; 2-dogs, 2-cats, 2-Parrots and my SW tank. Funny the kids are never around when the animals need to be fed or cleaned, but they do want to play with my tank which is an absolute NO, NO

    Name the Kitty

    Here is a pic of my new daughters Kitty, (like we needed another pet). He has got the most beautiful blue eyes and I cannot for the life of me come up with a fitting name for him. So lets have a contest, 'NAME THE KITTY" you all are so creative, lets see what we can come up with?

    ?Stawberry blue soft Coral?

    Good news is, It actually looks better in my tank then it did in the LFS. The heads were not open at LFS and when I got it home, they opened up right away. re: flow, I have the rio 600 to the wet/dry with a rio 800 for the output. I have another on the opposite side of the tank, can't...

    ?Stawberry blue soft Coral?

    I do believe you are right Jeff. I do have a challenge ahead..... :eek: I paid a lot less than the price they are asking on their site. Still, Is it really a soft? I will do some more research now that I have a good name to go by. Thanks for the help, but isn't it pretty? It sustained no...

    ?Stawberry blue soft Coral?

    Can anyone help to identify this coral by another name? LFS had it labeled as Strawberry Blue Soft Coral, but I can't seem to find any info on it. Texture almost looks like a leather, but someone in the store said he thought it might be a hard coral? Any ideas? It is very pretty and unique...

    lets see the BLASTO'S!

    Oh my god, I am so sorry! That is heart breaking. I can't imagine living in an area where nature could wipe you out, strip you of everything and not be able to do anything about it. I feel for you Playa and all the rest that have been/will be hit by those hurricanes. Best wishes to all, and...

    HELP! Red cyano bacteria

    UPDATE.....Cyano Just an update. As I said before, the skimmer did not seem to be working properly, so I took the 600 pump apart and cleaned it. There was a slight build up of salt in the intake hole, narrowed the opening by about 1/2 (kind of like a blocked artery that causes a heart...

    HELP! Red cyano bacteria

    I mentioned before that the skimmer did not seem to be working all of a sudden, I have adjusted it and still very little is being collected. ?Is there something in the skimmer that I am missing, I mean, do I need to take off the whole shabang and clean it, inside out? Could it be the...

    curtain rods...

    Now that's FUNNY!!!! Guess I must have a deep seated hostility toward my ex, but that's my kind of humor, both of them. Maybe I can sneak into my ex's NEW house, (I am still living in the house we had when our 1st was born, uhhhh.....20 years now), and plant a shrimp our three. (sidebar...

    HELP! Red cyano bacteria

    I'm going to do another water change today, and use a smaller hose to suck out more of the red slime. Has anyone tried using oxygen tubing for this? I have plenty of tubing around the house and thought I might be able to get into the smaller areas and target the surface slime. From everything...

    HELP! Red cyano bacteria

    Ritsuko, is that glue really that good? It does seem a bit expensive, but if it works maybe it is worth it. I have had some difficulty glueing underwater. I liked that they did a glue comparison, so I know what not to get too! For the quantity of frags you get with their package does not...

    Angelscrx - Wow, what an interesting web site (GARF). Packed full of information, I just spent over an hour cruising it and yes, I did place an order with them. Prices seem very reasonable. Thanks for the info...

    HELP! Red cyano bacteria

    I know I need to add more to the clean-up crew as some of my original have disappeared, don't know who got them, either the blue-leg hermit, which I just traded out last week, or the green brittle-star. I think the brittle star has been feeding on everything! The LFS here in town all of a...

    HELP! Red cyano bacteria

    That's what I don't understand, bulbs are new, have plenty of flow,PH a 600 & 800 with the W/D & protien skimmer and another 600 (?I think) on the other end of the tank (30g tank). As you said Nikki, lights are pretty new so I doubt that is a problem. Noticed last night that the skimmer...
