Well if you have an extra one I will be at the meeting tomorrow and would love a small one. I will be bringing some small blue mushrooms and green spotted mushrooms to the meeting for anyone that wants them.

I use the disposable ones. They are great but will puncture easily if handle objects with sharp edges like your live rock. Luckily they are CHEAP.

I am interested in the GSP and possible some candy canes. Where are you located?

or you could use a piece of PVC with a large funnle on top so the sand all slides down the pipe to the sand bed

I'm gonna have to try this. I have been wanting to add some more sand to my bed.

I think I'll bring them anyway. If people don't want them, I'll keep the rubble and get rid of the tree.

Rjohn I would happy to take one off your hands to add to my small coral collection.

Found this video on how to frag different sorts of corals. Pretty informative, though the presenter wasn't the "most" prepared.

BTW - This is fairly large video ~325meg

This guy is great. I thought he had died when I saw all his legs detached in an area under the rock, but no, it was a molt. He is out and about and chomping on hair algae.

I thought the same thing with mine. I even rinsed the shell in the sink and threw it in a bucket with some rock I am cycling. 2 weeks later I found him sitting on top of the rock. Imagine my surprise!

Get a stealth heater next time

What is a stealth heater?

charles, can u pick up 5 extra for Laura? I can meet at Laura to pay and pick up...if that's cool with you and laura. dan

That is fine with me.

Would the "Three Days of Darkness" kill Xenia or Mushrooms?

Hey Laura,

I was hoping to come over this evening to get some snails/etc. if that is ok I can pick up the mangroves for you on the way since Chris isn't far from me.

Is it normal for the Xenia to retract their polyps when the lights go out? I see mine do that every night and just assume it is, but I wanted to confirm I am not doing something wrong.

I have one of these that I am not using if you are interested.

I have been wanting to add a fighting conch....but a small one ~1"

I would probably get a couple things as well.

I hadn't seen my Yellow Watchman Goby for a week. Then the other day I was cleaning my filter basket and there he was...ALIVE. I put him back in the tank and he's been fine so far.

Questions:

- Is this feasible?

- One thing I noticed was that the stock lighting would have to be upgraded, since it's only ~2w per gallon. Is it possible to upgrade this and other systems that might need it? Would other systems need to be included or upgraded.

- Is it possible to purchase a mated pair of clowns along with an invert that they're already hosting, and if so would that relationship survive a transplant?

- I'd much rather support a LFS or individual selling a tank/gear if the price is reasonably close. Anyone know of someone with this kind of equipment for sale?

- Yes it is possible to do what you want in a nano tank.

- For lighting upgrades I would check Nano Customs.

- I have seen people and sites selling anemones with a hosting clown fish. Though a mating pair that is also hosting would be difficult to find, there was some for sale on these forums recently.

Dan if you want to jump in with my order you can. Any one else in Gtown want to combine orders?

How would we go about combining orders to split shipping?

I got mine from Austin Homebrew on Burnet rd.

Perhaps I will stop by there this weekend.

I could use an Aqua lifter pump.

Anyone have or know where I can get a couple feet of 1/4" OD stiff acrylic tubing?

TIA

Has anyone on here used/tuned the JBJ Skimmer that comes with the JBJ 28g??? I have been running it for over a month and I never seem to get much skimmate. In fact the only skimmate I have ever gotten was VERY wet skimmate. I am using the stock air pump and airstone that came with the tank. I have tried different height settings and currently have it at the lowest possible height (where the collection cup rests on the refugium compartment divider). ANY help would be great. My water may be good but it's not THAT good to product 0 skimmate.

TIA,

....should I let my tank mature before I consider adding in things more delicate than a fish? I have had the tank running since before Christmas, and tank parameters are nice and steady now. Only issue I have currently is a little GHA but the CUC is slowly working that down. So how mature does one's tank need to be?

TIA

It is where all the cool kids hang.

Home brewing is great fun, my brother and I have been doing it for years. I love the smell of the malt while cooking my wort.
