+1 for this suggestion

my guess is that the stuff on the bottom would be small particles that got pushed out of the reactor @ the top, made it back through the pump and got trapped at the bottom of the reactor. I don't know if that means you should change your media tho.

is your reactor top down, or bottom up in terms of flow?

Interesting. My maroon was out for death tho as she had nearly picked off all of the guy's fins and he was getting to the point where when the female would drive him out of his hiding place, he'd just let her ram him with her body. Not a pretty sight, but it made it easy to catch the guy.

Great! I'm glad he's doing better that he's not being bullied.

just leave him be. If he dies, he'll fall out of the shell and you'll know.

Yes

there us also an asian market on 183/payton gin.

have you tried live food? It can be a great place to start to keep them alive, then wean them over to prepared food.

Tex- Welcome! Is this your first SW tank? I ask b/c one of the "secrets" of saltwater is that bigger is better in terms of tank size and stability. So a small tank might look great from a budget/ease of care standpoint, but in reality, they are more work than a larger tank. To answer your ?s: 1. Flow will be dependent on what you want to keep in it in term corals. Since it is only a 3G, you won't be able to keep SPS corals so something like a Koralia nano might do the trick. Even it might be too much. 2. That's up for opinion. RCA/Aquatek both sell pre-mixed SW and live rock. I don't think one is better than the other, I go to Aquatek b/c I live 5 minutes from it.

he's probably still terrified. Nothing like being hopeless against a bully - kinda like going to an ARC meeting when Laura is there...!

Wow...that's how small my frag was when I first got it? I have like 40 heads on it now.

thanks Dave. Hopefully he'll recover. He looked great when I first put him in the tank, then my big maroon saw him...

I got a small maroon clown from Vivid hoping that it would pair up with my large female, but the b* doesn't want anything to do with it. I'm looking for a good home for him as he's very pretty. A little beaten up, but pretty. Open to trades of SPS/LPS that is blue or red. Would also consider a sale if someone would rather go that route. I'll catch him after my call @ 4:30 and post a pic.

I agree. I've had hermits shell up for a day before they came out.

nice looking rics!

These are the names on the bags: - Carrie - Alex - Steve Davis I don't know who Steve Davis is so if he'd get in touch with me about pickup, that'd be great. A fair amt of stuff still looks alive!

SPEAK ENGLISH!! j/k...

looks like ricordia to me. But its tentacles are too long.

A little air won't hurt them:

Dang Mike! It looks so bare!

The illuminata looks nice. I saw it with my only eyes!

And she didn't let the kid go to the hosiptal to be checked out. Awesome..stupidity all the way around.

Goodness! How much are you adding? I add 20mL a day to my 90 g and my pH only goes up .05 looks like you are adding too much to me.
