it is really happy so far, knock-knock
-
it isnt available in Texas. it is quarried somewhere on the east coast. attempts to order it in have failed with HomeDepot. You may be successful if you find a friendly HD manager or know someone. i believe HD carries it in the Eastern stores. If you got a pallet diverted to an austin store i am sure everyone on this sited would want some.

glad to see you here. welcome. robert
-
thanks clint, that is a beautiful animal. i hope i can keep it well. it looks very healthy and happy right now.
-
i'll take it. can i pick it up from you in town tomorrow? errrrrr jedi master.

dylan, i forgot to mention, i have or have had near a dozen emerald crabs and this is the first one to act like this. i am thinking that once it gets used to the food that i add to the tank that it will calm down
-
a buddy of mine added an emerald crab from AA a couple of weeks ago. this crab went right to pulling on the anemone, zoos and leather coral as well as scraping coralline. i assured him that he will settle down. well two weeks later and he is knocking on the door crab in hand. i put 'strongmad' in my 55 and he immediatly went to scraping coralline. he has 'tasted' some zoas and ricordias but really doesnt seem to bother them. i am going to give him some time to see if he is really capable of damage or not. the coralline grows back almost as fast as he scrapes it.

skimmer and pump $225

I may place an order with www.SeahorseSource.com sometime soon. i need a female H.Reidi. they are not on the website but Dan says he has some in supply @ 49.95 each. shipping is around $40 but he can ship up to 4 at once. does anyone want a H.reidi or 3?
-
has anyone had one of these go CRAZY tongue3.gif dontknow.gif . i have one displaying somewhat random temperatures. would it be a bad temp probe or more likely something else.

i believe Chromis are Damsels, not possitive about that but for the most part the chromis' are more docile. they are tough little fish too. since they are not anthias i think you have a better chance of them surviving, and possibly coming to an understanding with 'grumpy' they should be able to find a way to get along in a 58gallon tank.
-
not an Anthias, looks like a damsel to me. is that the one causing trouble
-
yep, i think so jacob. someone else may have some other experiences. but some fish are just mean. i have a cinnamon clown that falls into that category. if it isnt really causing damage the damsel may eventually tire of the fight. but if it has decided to have a ranch instead of a townhome it might be best to take it to the store for trade.

is anyone looking for a pretty strong skimmer. a friend is selling an MR-2 (MyReefCreations) http://www.myreefcreations.com/psstandard.htm with a GRI pump http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_pumps_...upp.asp?CartId= for a really good price. drop me a PM if interested
-
damsels cant be rehabilitated, they have no remorse. sociopathic fish with no sense of humor angryfire.gif angry9.gif IMO

Looking for Suggestions for Beer Trade :) in SE Austin
hammondegge replied to Dhayden's topic in Reef Keeping
yep. put 2-3 layers of vinyl widow screen over the tank. shorten the timer on your lights to about 2/3 cycle. remove one layer of screen per day and then increase your cycles by and hour a day until back to normal. something like that. -

i think you will see growth with the 10k. goes easy on acclimating the tank to the new light even the new actinics are going to be putting out more light. use some sunscreen and/or short cycle the lights. -
Welcome to South Austin

Aquarium Pharm. after adjusting the alk to 11dkh with kalk, the calc is at 500 and the ph is at 8.0. this is for water change, and i dont run a calc reactor.
-
i made a batch last night. at sg 1.025 PH 8.4 Calc 420 dkh 7.0 evidently the alk is left low for use with Calc Reactors in reef tanks didnt test the Magnesium but it is proported to be at 1300
-
