FWIW, My clamp bands are ok, but the screw has rusted very badly. I agree with the plastic clamp idea.

Hi, Just wanted to stick in a link to a flower pot article. I bought one too. Mine is doing great. I was happy untill I read the article at the bottom of this link. Seems they only live a year. I will not purchase another one. After you read, click home there is carpet anenome stuff there too. I...

Hati rock I got locally was large flat pieces of broken off coral with little coraline on it. The best rock I got was from Tampa Bay Saltwater, I have a small brain coral growing on a piece and lots of sponges and plants. There is no cure time since it comes from the ocean to your door, I had...

I have lots of natural stuff in my tank now from the wild. The main fish is a school of sheeps head minnows. They are omnivores and seem to be nice community fish. I have tons of blenny's (12? ) and a gobies of some sort all stay amongst the rocks. I also have a small quarter sized cow fish...

Thanks, I just thought by taking the nutrients in 300+ gallons of water and condensing it down to a 1 cup full had to be good for something to eat. Maybe it is a cure for cancer or something. We'll never know.

Would the protein waste in the skimmer be a good food source for my brine shrimp to eat ? I currently feed them liquid plankton ( Kent Phytoplex) Thanks for any help.

I am waiting on FTP info from my cousin then I will move pics over to his site with unlimited bandwidth. The sea horses stay in a 55 gallon planted tank that also serves as the main filter for big tank with no other predators and are fed with brine shrimp live and dead, also have seen them suck...

Did i mention I hate my ISP ? Hence the exceeded bandwidth on the pics. Sorry. I will post it up on my Cousins site as soon as I get the FTP info. Again I am sorry about the link.

Thanks to your link I have identified my "puffer" as a Honey Comb Cow Fish. He is the size of a 50 cent piece. Thanks.

Forgot to mention the tank has a home built chiller but the temp never rises above 76 degrees since the top is open to air and the one advantage of a mobile home is that the air vents are in the floor, in this case blowing on the sump. I was heating to 78 on advice that it would help my coraline...

I don’t think your comments are rude at all. I asked for opinions and that’s what I got. I would like to take a moment to go over a few things though. Don't fall asleep. The flower pot coral is always extended all the way out with all the arms extended, I was trying to photograph Horse shoe...

Well I started my tank in Febuary. I have been through many setups and have finally got a good stable setup. This tank was built on a extremely limited budget. I tried to cover many bases on filtration. Here are some pics, I have lots of life in the tanks but not much coral other than the...

There is a word file here now, just all the pics shown in a row to keep from clicking. All the post pic links are down :cry: Thanks.
