Used the smallest jar I could find- I think it was from some capers. I have some photos, but they're on a roll of film I'm not done with, and then I have to get them developed (yes, seriously).

Been meaning to post this for a while.

I bought a healthy wild caught male target dragonet. I read a lot about how to transition them onto frozen foods. A lot of people keep them in a breeder net until they are trained, which doesn't sound that great for obvious reasons.

I decided to use a jar to feed him in just to keep the food in one place while he ate it and it ended up working great. I drilled a hole in the jar and used a baster to squirt food into it. At first I just bought live brine shrimp which he ate right away. It didn't take long for him to go looking in the jar for food. I started mixing frozen foods in with the live brine shrimp, which worked nicely- food will stick to live brine shrimp (or they pick it up) if you mix it with them ahead of time. This caused the dragonet to eat the frozen food along with the brine shrimp. It did not take long at all before he was eating the frozen food on its own. He likes Nutramar Ova the most. And it wasn't long after that he would eat it out in the tank, as long as it was on the substrate, although the jar did keep the other fish from eating it.

Thought I would put this method out there, as a lot of people use water flow to get the frozen food to look like it's moving. I think mixing it with live brine shrimp is easier, and I have never read anything about the food sticking to the shrimp before.

Everything is pending- thanks for the interest.

Prices dropped. If anyone wants some rock, i'm available Thursday evening or Saturday afternoon. Pickup is near Lamar and 183. PM me

If you want a book, make me an offer- I'm going to put them on Amazon over the next few weeks.

Please send me a pm if you'd like something or want to make plans to meet.

I'm not exactly sure on this and I couldn't find a manufacture date, but I think I"ve had the Foundation one for a little over a year and the algae one for a little under a year.

Yes, after I get rid of some of the rock, the cardinal and dragonet will go. You can have the cardinal for free if you want it.

Oh yeah, his body is only a couple of inches but his spines are about 6 inches long- he's still quite maneuverable and does not disturb rock work.

I've had this longspine urchin for a few months now and he's starting to get too big for my tank. I'm worried there is not enough algae for him. He eats a LOT of algae and likes calcareous the best, so he will eat your coralline. If you have a problem with neomeris he'd be perfect, cause he loves that stuff. He needs a large tank with enough algae to sustain him. He will not harm fish or corals and he is downright beautiful. PM if you're interested.

This is still available. Send me a pm if interested.

Got a better skimmer so selling this one. 22" tall and needs about 10" by 10" in the sump. It works well and the pump seems to be in good shape- I bought it used, so not sure of the age. I cut and drilled a hole in the outlet tube to minimize siphoning noises. Firm on price. PM if interested.

Caulerpa serrulata? Hope I spelled that right.

Great! I'm near where Airport hits Lamar, just south of 183.

I've got 5 nassarius snails and 3-4 hermits that aren't really working in my tank. They are not really a clean-up crew because they mostly eat fish food. I like small, shy fish, and the snails especially have turned into competitors for food, so I want to find them a new home.

If you can take the rocks out, you can burn it off with a lighter to kill problem spots. Also the aiptasia killlers made from hydroxides like aiptasia x can burn algae off rock. A tuxedo urchin will eat it, I believe down to the rock. Sounds like if you get it off your rocks it won't come back.

I would kill or move it, unless you want to use aiptasia instead of cheato for nutrient export. It can spread all over the refugium and will eat anything.

My overflow is really quiet because I undersized the return pump so there is always air going down with the water.

My skimmer pump makes a noise that drives me nuts. I heard silicon heating pads work to dull noise from vibration so I'm going to try that- I'll let you know if it works.

Dirty ten gallon tank with tiny HOB filter and glass lid. Used as a quarantine, but never saw medication. The glass has a bunch of tube worm shells. Pending

CPR adjustable 4" filter sock holder. It doesn't fit on my sump and I threw away the box. Brand new. Pending.

Mitch I cant seem to win any of these. How about you try to get it and I get dibs on the first frag.

Ok, but I'm not gonna bid too high on the frag, as the colony available on their website is a great deal.

I've got an email out to Matt @ AAF about the colony. If I don't win the eBay frag at a minimal price, would you be interested in sharing the colony? We could easily get a nice mini-colony each and sell the remaining frags. Lmk your thoughts on this.

Also if there are any other interested parties, please chime in.

I'm in! If that's OK? I really wanted to buy that colony, but I'm afraid I'll kill it. I have a couple acros that are doing well, but... I'd much rather get just a frag.
