I think for a leak in my previous house I had used Christian Brothers Plumbing. We had a mysterious leak in the wall behind the guest shower. They found/fixed it with only two holes cut in the wall.

Problem solved:

And I agree with all-of-yall

Keeping an up-to-the-minute inventory on a web site would be near impossible, short of some uber technology (I have some ideas, but will save them for when I open a LFS in my old age ).

But doing something like what RCA does, posting the order manifest, does help a lot. And a clean looking web site where I can easily find hours of operation, directions, etc does drive my desire to visit a store. I was hesitant to visit the Dome at first, because the only hours of operation I could find where from Yahoo maps.

These are bad quality, but they were the best I could do with the lack of free time.

BTW, I finally used GIMP to correct the white balance, and it was uber easy Will have to definitely do that more.

They are in the camera. One step closer to getting on to my computer, and then this blog.

I think Rob hit on all the main points. Anemones in that small of a tank is a big challenge. They require intense lighting, which in turn generally generates lots of heat. And heat containment is a big issue with small tanks.

You can cycle a tank with no lights. Though one issue will be that you will not get your coraline algae kick started, as that requires lighting similar to corals.

I would suspect with that large of a tank there should not be a problem. But I have never had an engineer goby before. My shrimp/goby pairs always stayed around one general spot in the tank.

Ha! Didn't even notice the original post date

I have done both, kept some frags on plugs, and taken some off. These were with zoas, so it depended on if the zoas were also attached to another rock on the plug. If I could get the rock/zoas off then I did and glued/epoxied them to the rock. If I could not, I just used a bunch of epoxy to stick the plug on (or between) the rocks. It looks a little ugly at first, but once algae, and the coral, covers over the epoxy, it looks fine.

Not to hijack the thread but since we have such a variety of wrasse fans following I wanted to ask how serious is the risk of wrasses jumping out of the tank?

Just picked up a 120 rimless so I've decided against a canopy and want to know if I need to throw out the idea of having a couple flasher's wrasses.

Thanks,

I have never had issue with my six line jumping out of the tank. But I have spooked my blue sided fairy wrasse before, and he jumped out the back 1" open area of my glass top, onto the top itself. I got him right back in the tank with no problems.

Bumping for Ashley

I really want a six line wrasse but from all the ones I seen at

Lfs, they seem too small for

My 75 gallon tank

They always look so small in the stores. But it would love the large tank, tons of places to explore. And I swear mine has doubled or even tripled in size since being in my 75g tank (since January).

Listening to nothing right now while eating lunch .. but enjoying an Oreo milkshake

And it is raining in Oak Hill.

Hmmm....a wet road you say . So you don't actually have to see the "rain"....

Hmm... Better secure all your outside hoses, I think aquaman is coming over to hose down the road

Actually, it is quite dark here right now in SW Austin... might get a little rain.

It is because of how hard it is to get them to eat prepared food.

Ah, that makes sense.

Those sound good. Though at first I thought leopard were not reef safe, but LiveAquaria says they are (but they also list them as "Expert Only Care" for some reason??). The mysteries are nice, but out of my price range for a fish

Ok, time to listen to some music and get some work done. Gonna start with the Lead Sails Paper Anchor album by Atreyu.

And drinking iced coffee (homemade).

Oh, BTW, the dome had a beautiful pink capped wrasse for a mere $89 It had the colors of a pink square anthias. Orangy pink body, with a hot pink "cap" on it's head.

I have heard it helps to add multiple wrasses at once, that way one does not get a chance to set up a territory.

With that said, I did not have a problem adding by blue sided fairy wrasse to my tank, which had an existing six line.

And my six line must be the exception ... he does not pick on the other fish. He will hold his ground when the stupid damsels try to bully him, but he has been model tank citizen. The only time I have seen him get aggressive is when he sees his reflection in glass.

Return Of the King movie (it has music).

And Diet Root Beer.

And I am here. I see you have another programming request
