    Help With Aptasia

    hmmm, the boiling water technique sounds like it has potential........ just gotta make sure i dont blast any coral when I do that. As for the copperband, i would do that no problem, but i dont think my tank is big enough for a fish like that. Berghia is my second choice now i think, though I...

    Help With Aptasia

    ya, i was leaning towards getting a peppermint shrimp...... but my eel might eat him, so that would be an expensive meal. As for the Joes Juice.... Ive used it twice now, and every time the aptasia comes back worse!!!! Im really starting to get mad about it, cause it seems to work for other...

    College Nano ~ 20L REBORN!!!!

    College Nano ~ 20L REBORN!!!!

    Okay, heres a quick update before I head to practice..... The zoos are delayed, once again, by shipping. The person shipping the zoos to me went to the post office, paid for the shipping, and had it "sent"...... well, the next day, just to check if it had arrived, he noticed that the tracking...

    Mantis shrimps are considered pests by most........ but not by me! Probably one of the most interesting and beautiful creatures I have ever cared for, these guys are amazing to watch. Can i suggest to you to set up a small nano tank as a specie only tank for this guy? It would be well worth it...

    College Nano ~ 20L REBORN!!!!

    Extreme Marine in Lacey...... they had three of these guys for like 6 months, and I picked up the last one that they had. I figured if they survived that long in their tanks, it could handle mine no problemo! :)
