    The Lions Mane Jellyfish is the largest jellyfish in the world. They have been swimming in arctic waters since before the dinosaurs (over 650 million years ago) and are among some of the oldest surviving species in the world.
    The largest can come in at about 6 meters and has tentacles over 50 meters long. Pretty amazing when you think these things have been swimming around for so long.
    They have hundreds of poisonous tentacles that it used to catch passing by fish. it then slowly drags in it’s prey and eats it.

  2. All right did it the old school way. Just unplugged things one at a time, and kept sticking my hand back in until I didn't get shocked. Turns out it was my uv sterilizer. Pulled it out of the tank, and now I can finally put my hand back in shock free!

  3. Voltmeter for sure then. Test the fixture to ground. If you have a metal fixture, then you must use a grounded plug, with the ground connected to the metal fixture. Is this DIY? A commercial fixture that is metal without a grounded plug is breaking just about every electrical appliance code in existence.

    The reef brite is a metal fixture with no ground prong from what I just now looked at. The DIY was attaching the LED strip to my T5 fixture

  4. You have something shorted into the tank. Most likely a heater. Your not properly grounded until you touch the metal grounded fixture. Get a volt meter and test the tank to ground while unplugging equipment. Be extremely careful. A fully grounded piece of equipment can easily kill a person.

    Yea deffenitely calling the brother in-law then

  5. Putting my hand in the water is fine, but as soon as my arm touches my reef brite strip (that is attached to the front of my T5’s,) I get the jolt of a life time. It’s progressively gotten worse; at first it never did it at all, then after a few months I could feel a little shock, but thought it was do to heat off of the LED’s because it was more of a burning feeling. Just recently switched fixtures (still T5’s) and it seems to have gotten worse, faster then before too. Any ideas, or has anyone run into this problem before? Next step after this is calling them manufacturer and seeing if they have any insight I guess. Thanks in advance for the help.

  6. All are healthy and happy, just looking to make space and up grade. I’ll take 20$ for the hippo (SOLD) and 5$ each for the damsels, or all 3 for 10$. I have two blue sapphires and one azure (aka: yellow belly, or half-blue.) These are all great eaters including the hippo, they all eat pellets and frozen foods, very active swimmers as well.

  7. Pick up or drop off (prefer pick up) would have to be after 6, or any time Sunday. First come first served, pm works better for now.

    I have 4 damsels, 2 blue damsels and 2 yellow belly damsels (all about 1.5’ in size.) All 4 are very active, healthy eaters (pellets, cyclop-eeze, and some mysis,) with no temperament issues amongst each other. Asking 5 each, but would really like to bundle them together for 15. 5

    I also have 1 lawnmower blenny, big fat healthy eater too, about 3” to 3.5”. He’ll eat anything in front of him, algae, copepods, pellets, cyclop-eeze, and some mysis as well. He can be a little territorial at times, not a fighter though, just defends his turf. I’d like to get 10 for him. sold

    Last I have a snowflake eel that I need to re-home; he is easily 10” plus. He doesn’t go after anything that won’t fit in his mouth, and I never lost a fish to him, beware if you covet small invertebrates though. He stays secluded in his whole most of the day, only poking his head out and watching everything around him. Gets very active during feeding time, probably the thing ill miss most. He eats chopped silversides, and frozen krill (must be small enough to fit in his mouth or he’ll ignore it,) eats feeder shrimp as well. I’d like to get 20 for him. sold
