    Why you never see the big name tanks???

    Any ideas as to why they crashed?? I guess if these guys write volumes on how to do it successfully maybe they should also write and let us know how not to be successful? Thats a bit of a worry to me now. Any ideas?

    Our pets

    Thanks Nikki, I'll pass your coments on to Gracie. She certainly is a weird one. I dont know how much you guys remember from Winnie the Pooh, but Tigger used to 'bounce' people. I think that would be what gracie does ...... only late at night while we try to get to sleep. About an hour after...

    Our pets

    house cats Well, Gracie is the mental siamese, and Cleo is from the rescue centre. Both have very strange habits, and both function as scalp massagers at 4;30 every morning when they promenade across the top of the bed (ie our heads). Cleo eats, sleeps and likes fussing and thats about it (like...

    Thanks mike, I wanted to post better quality pics, and maybe some dv footage (OMG I am turning into Mr Fish Geek) but I cant figure how to upload larger files. Or is it easier to put a link to a yahoo briefcase or similar? Again, thanks for the encouragement!

    Name the Kitty

    Hi Kathy, We had a great cat who unfortunatley passed away last year, called Figaro. For some reason I always liked that name. I think your new arrival would fit that name pretty well. While we are 'catting' here is a pic of my two bundles of joy mixed with aggro; The white stray is Cleo...

    Hitchhiker Project

    "Bigyank - you are too funny. At least I could make out it is a crab....it is a crab, isn't it? I've never been a fan of hitchhiking crabs, especially ones with ex-girlfriend like hairy legs. I would keep an eye on him, or take him out and banish to the sump. " Thanks Nikki - the problem is he...

    Hitchhiker Project

    Ok, so the main criteria are: "in focus, clear, and obvious". Well how about 0/3? This little (about 3cm across the carapace) guy must have come in as larvae or REALLY small, as I have had that batch of rock in that tank for 3 years and only saw for the first time last year and he was about the...

    my first reef system

    I agree Ritsuko, that patience is the key, but in over 100g he a few chromis etc wouldt place much of a load on the system. Obvioulsy this is redundant now, as there is more stock, but the theory is the key. Out of interest, how many members on here used cured / uncured lr and waht was the...

    my first reef system

    the LR debate Just my two cents/pence worth - i think there has been some confusion over cycling on this thread; reefaddict is using fully cured lr - which I have done on numerous occassions and I agree that while time is needed for the system to settle down and delicate corals/fish shouldnt be...
