Hey, thanks. Just found a picture here: http://216.239.39.100/search?q=cache:uA ... n&ie=UTF-8 Thank you.

Hi, I walked by my tank, and saw my cleaner shrimp jump off a rock, looked like he ripped something off of it also. Took a closer look, and saw he had this in his grip. He picked at it for a minute or two, then dropped it and went away. Its about 2/3 the size of a dime, and the one side...

Well, I would say that they probably -do- feel pain. Pain is nature's way of saying something is wrong. If we were talking about a virus or a bacteria, I'd be inclined to say they don't feel it anywhere near how humsn feel it. However, fish have all 5 senses, taste, touch, smell(?), hearing...

Sorry, I meant one like an Aqua Clear. Mainly, I would like to grow a bit of Chaetomorpha, however don't have the space for a fuge at this time. As an alternative, if I keep it in the tank, I need to keep it in one place, preferable in a back corner. Hmm, maybe some sort of plastic mesh?

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has tried growing Chaetomorpha in a filter housing. I know some people have run heaters in theirs, however thought this might be worth a try. thanks.

So uhhmm ,that means I'm ok then? Got the same kind of sponges which I thought were a funky algae or something... And, I use tap water.

Anyone?

Wow! The 900 in my 10g blows my sand around like an Iraqi sandstorm....

John, thanks. I think I am going to place an order with Fosters, and that will be one of the items I order. Now, if I can just figure out what the best alternative to dripping Kalk would be. Fosters has Kalk, Calk, Calcium +3, Reef Advatantage, etc. Since I really only have soft corals...

OK, whats best for a small 10g reef? Mini-jet 606 79 - 153 gph Maxi-Jet 400 106 gph Penguin 550 145 gph The Maxi-Jet 900 is just a bit too powerful for this one :) Looking for the smallest, but don't want too much power. I'm thinking the MJ 400? Thanks

Brett, Thanks. Yes, we are definately going to upgrade to a bigger tank, probably at least 100g. But, if I am going to be paying $350,000 (wow, I'm getting dizzy) for a house, I think I can eBay what I would be using now, and but a more permanent 4-5 stage unit at that time. I see why some...

Hmm, not quite sure how tasty this first one will be, but I do have about 50 nuisence ones that I need to get rid off... http://home.attbi.com/~growmushrooms/recipes.1.pdf

Hi All, A quick question about RO/DI, since it appears I am going to have to do that or schlep it from the supermarket vending machines. I am currently in an apartment, w/29g reef. My top off water needs are about 1/2 -3/4g per day. When we finally get ahouse, I think I can splurge several...

Sorry, you'd think these great 4 megapixel cameras could make up for shakiness. Oh, guess I could read the manual and set it for a higher shutter spead.... Sponge you say? Thats exactly what they seem to be, the pull off and apart just like a kitchen sponge... Its just that they are growing...

Hmm, well I was getting RO/DI water from the vending type machines at the store, however carting the 5g around every week was a pain. Thats why I cecked my Pho from the tap again, ( 0 w/Salifert) and started using it. Only problem I think is the Si, which my Water district (Alameda, CA) lists...
