    Anyone keep a sponge very long???

    I went to the LFS today and they have a beautiful bright red sponge. It's big, about 4 inches long and 2-1/2 inches wide. The color is fantastic. They have had it for 1 month and it is doing great. Now I do have a really nice bright yellow sponge that popped out of nowhere 2 or 3 years ago and...

    If you had a heart attack, what were your symptoms?

    Thanks, I'm doing great! I'm just hoping to get the word out there to people about the importance of not brushing off symptoms that may be serious, as nothing. Every minute that goes by while your heart is starved of a blood supply means more heart damage and could be the difference between life...

    If you had a heart attack, what were your symptoms?

    I'm really happy to here that you are doing well. And a special thankyou for your service in the army. No I don't feel alone at all. It's amazing but everyone knows someone who has had a heart attack. I really just want people to know the different symptoms and don't be an ass like me and pass...

    If you had a heart attack, what were your symptoms?

    I can't believe it, I'm 52 and I thought that being a roofer and carrying shingles and ladders all the time would keep me healthy. I honestly look very healthy and I'm very strong for my age. Actually, I'm a lot stronger than some of the younger guys that I have work for me but on Aug. 17th, I...

    What are these things?

    They look like something a six line wrass would take care of.

    My 75gallon

    Very nice tank. I had a Fox face in my 75 for about 2 years and then he got to be 7 inches and developed a taste for my crocea clam. I hated to do trade him back to my LFS but I had no choice. I wish you luck with yours because they are a fun fish.

    Epsom Salts?

    My mag. is low and I ran out of Mag. Flake so I looked on the site, "Chemistry Reef Calculator" and it shows Epsom Salts. Does anyone use this? If it is a good product, at least I can get it today at a drug store and I wouldn't have to wait for shipping.

    BTA

    This is a pic. from last year when I had 390 watts of PCs. My RBTA was with me for almost 3 years at this time. I have since traded out my front 130 watt PC for a 108 watt T-5 ONLY because of my clam. If it wasn't for the clam, I would still have the same lights. Does this look healthy? I do...

    Nori to tangs

    I got tired of having my tang and fox face rip the nori from the clip or from the elastic around the small rock trick only to have a big piece get lost in the rock. So I just take scissors and cut 1/16 inch x 2 inch strips and then fold it so it is small and hold it under water and press it...

    What causes an RBTA to split?

    As long as you follow my instructions carefully, you will be fine.The trickiest part of it, is removing the anem. from the rock that he is attached to. And I don't think that you can even make a mistake doing that. The trick is to get your finger in between it and the rock by aggravating it to...

    What causes an RBTA to split?

    If it's getting too big, just do it yourself. It is a very simple thing to do. It's so easy,even a caveman could do it. REALLY. 1st put on gloves, then gently get your finger in between him and whatever he is attached to.Take your time and SLOWLY work it out. You don't want to damage the foot...

    is it ethical to keep fish?

    This could also be a good reason to propagate corals in a controlled environment :) Being former hunter living in the northeast, I remember as a child, that it was a big deal to see a wild turkey, now because of the restocking program, I have turkey poop in my driveway all the time. They just...

    is it ethical to keep fish?

    I honestly haven't and will not ever loose sleep over the fact that I try so very hard to keep my fish and corals happy. In the 5 years of my "mixed reefing", sure, I lost a plate coral and some zoos but I've grown and sold and given away a lot of coral. When I give someone a really nice frag, I...

    A nice pic.

    Thanks guys for the nice comments but I really am just about as camera illiterate as can be.lol I do have a nice camera, it's a Sony Handycam, model # DCR-IP55. Being that I don't know how to change the settings very well, it stays on the factory settings.:rolleyes:
