  1. Available for sale one Sea Hare. Approximately 3"-4". Asking price $15. Details: Care Level: Expert Only Temperament: Peaceful Water Conditions: 72-78° F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.023-1.025 Max. Size: 1' Color Form: Black, Tan Diet: Herbivore Origin: Indo-Pacific Family: Aplysidae Overview: The body of the Dwarf Sea Hare is a combination of speckles and patterns. The location of its rhinophores (organ used to smell) and its oral tentacles make it look a bit like a rabbit, hence its common name.If it becomes startled, it may release a purple dye to repel attacking fish. In the home aquarium, the Sea Hare will need a good chemical filter system to quickly remove this toxic dye before it causes problems.In the wild, it is usually found in shallow areas of seagrasses and coral rubble, preferring the shaded areas. Cover from the lights in the aquarium should be provided. It requires a large area in which to move. It prefers an aquarium with live rock and open sandy areas so that it can graze on algae, eating any Caulerpa in the tank. It is sensitive to high levels of copper-based medications and will not tolerate bad water conditions (high nitrates).If regular feedings of Caulerpa are not possible, it will need a supplemented diet of parboiled lettuce and dried kelp.

  5. Available for sale one, used EShopps Super Spy Coral Viewer. It floats! A few very small scratches here and there. Perhaps someone can buff these out? Pickup preferred. Asking price $15. Details: The EShopps Super Spy Coral Viewer floats on the surface of your water to provide a clear view of organisms in the tank. Great for top view coral viewing and inspection. 6" X 3".
  6. I used to prop open the door in the lid and sit an Azoo fan over the opening. The Azoo had 2 x 80mm computer fans in it. Before I had the fan, I propped open the lid and sat a table fan next to the tank to blow over the water surface.

  16. Tip of the Day #1: Before calibrating probes, place unopened packets in aquarium to acclimate them to the system temperature.
