      About the band LCD sound system playing their last show, at Madison Square Garden

  2. 3 weeks ago I saw a single aiptasia polyp poking its head out of apiece of rock. I immediately went after it with a syringe of vinegar. I wasn't sure if I got it, but I haven't seen it since. When would it be safe to assume its dead?

      Aptasia is like Jason from Friday the 13.

      They are never really dead :)

  3. A hermit crab rode around on the back of my turbo snail for at least an hour this evening. Shell envy?

      Love it. I had a hermit riding a snail riding a snail. Talk about lazy.

  4. any thoughts on keeping CUC members in the bare bottom section of a sump? Which ones?

      I've found it doesn't work out that well. The snails crawl out and the hermits die.

  6. Bought a LTA at the dome on Saturday...it looks healthy, but not wanting to attach. I build a fort of rocks around it to keep it from turning over, and turned off my power heads....Do they like rocks or sand? any advice?

      My LTA refuses to be in the sand even if I clear down to the glass bottom and build a wall around him. he insits on being at mid level in the rocks ;)

  8. Brought home a GBTA...two hours later it took a ride through a powerhead. It didn't get chopped up, and its foot looks ok, but its mouth is open. Chances of survival?

      Looks like its ok, it moved about 10" overnight, the mouth is closed, and a couple of tips are bubbled. Still a little chewed up on one side though.

  9. COOL! a piece of wood I was cutting on a table saw got caught, pushing the blade sideways into the steel guard and kicking the wood out into me. Then several bits of carbide nicked me in the face. I received about 10 wounds varying from a 2" cut to a small nick/bruise.

      Glad you are ok (considering what could have happened) . I know what I'll be thining the next time I turn my saw on.

      Really sorry to hear it but glad it wasn't worse. Kickback on a table saw is a dangerous thing...

  14. I have a huge abundance of chitons, limpets, collonistas, and some huge mini brittle stars. It's great what comes out at night! I also have a yellowish 1" sponge growing in between the walls of my sump bubble trap. I mitt move him to the main tank soon

  15. I hope you all enjoyed C4! I enjoyed being a part of it even if I couldn't be there!

  16. I love my rabbitfish so much I'm thinking of getting another, maybe a foxface this time

      I lost mine to my vortech a few weeks ago. Was by far my favorite fish. Careful though as they will fight if they don't have enough territory.

  17. I love my tank today...everything's all puffed up and looking good

  18. I think ARC members should bring their badges to SeaWorld and wear them...It will make it easier to ID other members.

      Great idea! I've got my white ARC shirt on

      Good idea! I hope I remember mine.

  19. I think my cleaner shrimp is getting tired of the rabbitfish pestering him for a cleaning

  20. I think my GBTA is on it's way to Cnidarian heaven. I have no idea why, it's just been all shriveled up for 3 days now, and it's foot hold isn't very strong. Any suggestions?

      Did it die? Probability of mine dying?

      Mine did the exact same thing a while back. I almost took him out and flushed him for fear of killing everything, but I didn't have the heart. After about 4 days he just puffed back up and is perfect. I hope you have the same luck.

      Yep...died.

      Careful, it may stunt your grown too.

  25. I'm happy to report that the halimeda that died when my FL live rock cycled my tank is starting to come back, after 4 months or so of being dead!
