I havent seen her for over a week if not longer. Maybe she is molting? What's the longest your mantis has dissappeared?

In another forum there is a gent thats raising clownfish and I immediately thought of this thread from awhile back: http://reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t ... ish+larvae I think he would really enjoy this thread, maybe learn something new and at the same time I could recruit a new RDO member...

My new mantis yet to be named (we shall call him sissy for now LOL) hasn't come out of his mantis hole yet. I'm sure as with any new creature being shipped around the us or world to end up in a new unfamiliar environmrnt needs to adjust but when do you think he will make an appearance? I have...

Woooohoooooo I just got him today. I will post some pics of him as soon as he comes out of his hiding place. Feisty little bugger! Big ups to Jim, went out of his way for me and came through in the clutch when no one else did......

I wonder what is going on? Matt apears to be AWOL at this point.......

I have been using KM Kalk for a while now. Good stuff but I find it to be a pain with mixing it, letting it settle, extracting it, filling up the Aquadose, yadda yadda. Is there a better easier kalk out there to use? What do you experts recommend? Is dosing kalk the same for all products? Is...

Doesn't appear to be alot of traffic in the freshwater forum so I posted this here in addition to there in hopes to get a quicker response: Help me look good and impress a co-worker LOL Thanks...

I know nothing of frshwater fish. I'm strictly a salt guy. I have a co-worker that knows I'm into fish and wanted to know If I could find an answer for her question. She wanted to know what if any other fish can she keep in her Koi pond and what other fish would fair well through the winter and...

I generally know what a CLS is as in you drill a tank, plumb it, and use a pump for your circulation thus replacing your needs on using powerheads. Can you guys/gals provide me with links and info breaking it all down for someone that knows nothing about plumbing and setting one up? I have no...

Plotting to tank over .... :D

I purchased this blastamussa merleti around 6-12 months ago. The brown patch growing on the left side was on there when I originally bought it but though nothing of it, assumed it was some kind of sponge or something. There are also what lloks like white fuzzy hairs on some parts of it. It...

When I was leaving the house this morning for work I checked on my tank as I always do and noticed salt creep where I have never seen it before and now I'm a little on the worried side. There was a fair amount of salt creep where the bottom edge of the acrylic tank meets the stand along the...

I have always wanted to get one of these but I cannot justify the price. I have been waiting for over a year or so hoping one day I would see this brand on sale somewhere but guess not. I just can't believe the cheapest one is nearly 50.00 bucks. Since the prices havent come down much I can...

My girfriend will be setting up a nano soon and wanted me to ask you good folks about fish recommendations: What fish would be happy and not get stressed out or unhappy in a 5.5 gallon tank? What would be a good combination of fish that would be peaceful and happy in this size tank without...

Just the early stages. I will add more rock tomorrow along with some LS from my 35 gallon refugium on my reef tank. The glass heater is temporary, I will swap it out with a titanium heater on monday. Also will add a black background to better hide the HOB filter and powercords. I will...

Havent been able to figure out what the heck these are? Just showed up one day growing on my LR and slowly grew and multiplied. If they are hitchhikers they must have survived over 2 years undetected from my original LR purchase for this tank. This pic was taken this morning when the actinics...

Setting up my tank this weekend so now I need to find a kick ass mantis. Liveaquaria.com doesn't have any in stock right now and I would rather not purchase one from ebay. Anyone know a reputable source where I can purchase one? Or if you know someone with an unwanted hitchiker hit me up!

I'm planning on seting up a mantis only tank in a 20 gallon acrylic I have laying around within the next month or so. I will post pics as soon as it's setup. If anyone here has a mantis please post your pics here so we can see :D

I finally had a chance to read this book. Unfortunately to be honest I really didn't learn anything new from this book at all. I guess I'm just spoiled by the information I have recieved from RDO. For the price its a cool book, just wish I would have learned a few things that I might not have...

Im a total newbie when it comes to fragging corals. In fact, I have never fragged a single coral unless you qualify breaking branching frogspawn stalks which I don't. Anyways... I have this awesome looking Blastomussa, everytime a new reefkeeping buddy comes over the first thing they say is...
