So not going to RCA sale cause I need to save money - but I am going to help rebuild a home in Bastrop via extreme makeover home edition! Visit http://www.joinextreme.com/texasvolunteer to sign up!

You know it's bad when your dreams/nightmares involve saving a pistol shrimp from death in a freshwater tank. I'm pretty sure I went to bed with the RCA doorbusters on my mind!

Just posted a craigslist add for new roommate in my 3bd, 2.5ba house. I live in Pville and am clearly tank friendly
. LMK if you or someone else you know may be interested. -
Setting up the chiller on my seahorse tank - I'm trying to hold off on purchasing the seahorses until I return from xmas vacation but . . .its . . so. .. tempting .. .

Never thought about using a soda bottle to keep fish separated. That's a cool idea.
-
There's a top on it and the evaporation isn't too bad (maybe top off once/wk). But that's a good reminder for me to make sure it's full to the top before I leave tomorrow.

The 29 is my anenome and clown fish tank. I'm a little nervous the clown fish would pick on the sexy shrimp? I'm thinking they'd be okay as well, just looking for confirmation I guess .

Hi Everyone, I have a 2 gallon pico set up at work with some corals and sexy shrimp. The light is on an automatic timer and I will be at work tomorrow to feed everything. The question is, Should I bring the sexy shrimp home for the Thanksgiving break? The tank will be unattended for 5 days at work. If I bring them home, they will go into my 29 gallon biocube. Thoughts?

lol - same here

Just got a small bonus from work and I really really want to spend it . . . pay down credit cards or push checkout on aquacon.com?????

Got him today!!!!!! It took the trap being in the tank for a few days and not feeding the tank when he finally went all the way in. It was fantastic
-
Yeah, you may have to wait and not feed for a day or so, if you do I would recommend leaving the trap in the tank so they get used to it being there with no food.... Also when I made mine I made the entrance a little bigger by cutting the hard part of the plastic neck off and give him a little room to get in. Done and Done. Now the trap is just sitting there making my tank look ugly for the next day or so . . . This is a no gun house lol Ha! He'd just scurry away murmuring about how stupid I am. Smart little devil
-
I think that's what I'll have to do. . . .
-
ok - patience is not my virtue . So far he checked it out - but i think he concluded it's a trap cause he's back to hanging out under the rock far away from the bait. On the other hand, my snails and pepps are trying to get in . .. . I'll give it a bit longer (unfortunately, I already fed the tank this morning so probably not that hungry).
-
awesome - thanks for the link - I'm gonna try it right now!
-
Hey, Anyone have any ideas? The guy is super friendly and will readily crawl on my hand, but as soon as I try to lift him out of the tank or put a net in to grab him he takes off (smart a**). Anyway, he's a pig and I want to move him out of my seahorse tank and into the clown fish tank so he won't be all over the seahorse food (once I get seahorses). Thoughts?
-
very interested in chiller - please pm me details (brand, condition, etc)

I think Mindflux has some great advice. 10 gallon tank from petco cheap hang on the back filter (can usually borrow from someone - I've got tons - you'd just have to drive out to pville hyposalinity - cause it doesn't cost anything I agree that there is no real need for a light. If you run the filter with carbon, you can probably get away with 1-2 water changes per week. The purpose of having a cycled tank is so there is bacteria present to take care of the ammonia and other dangerous ions - or is that atoms? I don't know chem . In any case, carbon and water changes should help keep those levels in check.

Does he eat frozen mysis or only live food? What size tank does he require? I've got a mixed coral tank with zero inhabitants (other than coral), but it's only 12 gallons.
-
evacuating house - too many animals to wait to last minute. Fish are in water so they will be fine - right?:???????
-
Every time I look at your tank photos I feel like a kid. It's the "I want, I want, I want" syndrome
-
Hey - hows it going with the different sea grasses? It took forever, but my oar grass is finally growing in my 5 gallon. The turtle, manatee and shoal grasses are still taking a while to settle in. Do you supplement w/iron, magnesium, etc.? Have you found some to do better than others? Would also love any pic updates you have Oh - your third seahorse - what kind is she?
-
Just got my order of gorgonians from aquatic connection. Red sea whip, Indo Lace, Purple corky finger, Golden rod, white lightning, orange tree. What an exciting day!
-
Just back from sea world. My favorite part - going through the coral reef exhibit and being able to say - Oh I have that in my tank, and I used to have that, and I want that . . .
