    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?

      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.

    LED Build Update: The tank mounting brackets came in, so I can now order the correct size aluminum and pick it up tomorrow...If all goes well, I should have about 3 hours of time tomorrow to assemble, drill, and tap the U-Channels.

    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 :)

    I've noticed a lot of fish on live aquaria.com that have recommendations to feed 3 times or more per day. Is this true in most cases? How is that accomplished?

      I've kept anthias for years with an ehiem feeding 4 times a day and pellets mixed with krill meal.

      My anthias got fed 2x a day and sometimes went 2-3 days w/no feeding if I was out of town. She was fat and happy.

      Yeah same here. Had 3 lyretails and I fed my tank every 2-3 days sometimes when I wouldn't be home during the photoperiod. They always did fine .

    Placed my order for 42 LEDs, 3 dimmable drivers, and 120ft of wire today...woo!

      good luck sir. There are many here who can at a minimum lend an internet helping hand.

      Thanks, I'll post an updated led layout in my design thread, and start a build thread soon enough.

    my dozen or so mini feather dusters aren't so mini anymore, and are easily adding 1 mm to their tubes every day. Amazing creatures

    Pretty sure my rabbitfish has some unnatural feelings for my pink spot goby. I don't want to use the term "humping", but...

    My concord grapes are budding out finally :)

    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!

      That's great!

    My mac mini died with 2 weeks left on the warranty. Dodged that bullet!

    So I was out of town for around a week, came home to a powerhead fallen over blowing on the sand and the auto top off sensor had come loose of the zip tie and was floating in the sump. Is it always like that when you leave the tank? Sheesh

    1. Juiceman

      Juiceman

      well if you think about all the random crap that seems to happen when you're around, it still happens when you're gone, you're just not there to fix it. Happened to me every trip i've since i've had a tank.

      Went to the Ren Fest a couple of years ago, came home a tank 1/2 emptied on the floor. Sprayer bar on the Ehiem filter came loss. Got rid of the Ehiem & invest in a controller that would e-mail me

      Yep. I can just go to work and come home to some kind of mess. Never fails. Going out of town always means something will go haywire.

  25. KevinB

    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.
