    Mantis Shrimp!!

    Well my mantis bastard has made his home in a 40 lb rock that is wedged under another 36 lb rock so I screwed. I am going to purchase one of those mantis traps and just pray it eventually catches him. I don't have time to sit over the tank for hours to catch him. I am jealous you caught yours...

    Long time no post: TANK TROUBLE: Yote, I need you.

    I have not posted in a long time because well, my tank was doing quite well for several months and I have been working a lot of hours. Fast forward to two months ago (or rewind depending on how you look at it). My lovely seahorses were as happy as can be one day and the next the female was...

    Dead Sea Hare =Nitrate Spike = Crash...maybe

    I have looked and looked for the body. I can not find it anywhere. How long does it take for a sea hare to decay completely? It has been almost a month.

    Dead Sea Hare =Nitrate Spike = Crash...maybe

    So, about a month ago a stupid rock anemone popped up out of one of my live rocks. Well, it was the middle of the week so I decided I would get it on the weekend. Anyway.. at that point my parameters were excellent (0 nitrates, 0 ammonia/nitrites, PH Ca etc all at good levels). So, forward to...

    Picture of the Month - June

    Thanks everyone for the compliments on Kermit.:sfish: I don't have a fancy camera. It's just a Canon Powershot point-n-shoot. Getting Kemit not too blurr is very difficult because of those extra blue fins that he uses for hovering. They are constantly moving so cause the pic to blur a bit.

    Picture of the Month - June

    This is not nearly as good as my George shot from last month, but I will throw one in. (subject to change if I decide to get un-lazy and clean my glass). Below is Kermit, my mandarin Goby.

    Picture of the Month - May

    Usually with the POTM the admin person creates a new thread that lists all the pictures in a row so people can view them easily. Since this thread is 12 pages long a lot of people are not going to want to have to dig through 12 pages of chatter to find the pictures. Just trying to make it easier. :D

    May POTM Voting

    I am confused. What happened to the old way where all the pictures are put into a new thread and the polling function is used to cast votes? Why is it different this month? Just wondering. Daugherty, thanks for the vote! :bounce:

    Picture of the Month - May

    Thanks for all the compliments on my photo. I hope some more people enter this month. I enjoy seeing other's photos. By the way, my photo was taken with a little Canon Power Shot (ie...nothing fancy). It does take practice and playing with setting to figure out what works..and even then...

    Top offs with Bottle Water

    Does anyone here use bottled water to fill or top off your tank? I started using bottled water for tank top offs about 2 months ago. This is because I finally tested my well water that I had been usng and while everything else was perfect the nitrates were off the chart (over 160ppm). I could...

    Coral ID please...

    Messiah, Well the statement was not meant the way you took it. I was just anticipating everyone saying that my system will crash and all my animals will die. Obviously if I thought that (that they all will surely die) was a statement of fact and not opinion I would not "experiment" at all...

    Coral ID please...

    In order to keep my tank from getting too warm I leave the hood open with a fan running on it for cooling by way of evaporation. Because of this, my top offs are about 2-3 gallons of water a week. I top off with bottled water that has minerals added. I tested it for everything and had good...

    Coral ID please...

    My nitrates are never above 15 and usually stay around 10. All my other levels are also within the normal range. I opt to test my parameters once a week and do my water top off. If my parameters were not within normal than I would do whatever procedure needed to be done to get it balanced...

    Coral ID please...

    Yote, My tank is doing great. Exactly why should I change how I am managing it if all the fish and coral are thriving? I am not a cruel person, if something was not doing well I would resolve the issue with it and do what needs to be done. I have a friend with a 300 gallon tank. If something...

    Picture of the Month - May

    Hmmmm. Maybe I should have submitted my picture with a different screenname. Since I seem to be racking up enemies on the forum, I wonder if it will turn more into a popularity contest over a photo contest. I hope not. I sat at the side of the tank for an hour holding the tripod on one leg while...
