Is the light gone?

Yes. Doug bought the package deal.

Sold.

It was nice meeting you Doug. I'll see you soon when you pick up the rest of the equipment.

If you go the two tank route you might do it with a water change. Make the acclimation easier by taking water from original tank like a water change. Use the water from the original tank to make up 50% of the water in the new tank/container. Then go one step further by acclimating the new guys with a drip acclimation.

I use the two net method which works pretty well. Fish are naturally great at getting away from one predator. If there are two predators they have a much harder time running away. Sometimes I just use one net to chase a fish into another net. Sometimes I will try and actively catch with both nets. This two net method works surprisingly well.

Andrew,

Are you separating the eggs from the parents? I don't know much about clown fish rearing, but we did breed and raise guppies a while back for fun. You might find what we did useful.

We had the female guppies in a hexagon tank and divided the top and bottom using a plastic netting. When the guppies where born they would sink to the bottom. The females, which typically eat their young, could not get to the babies through the netting. I believe the netting was made from a cross-stitching sheet (my girlfriend has them and I think she got them from Micheal's). We cut the sheet with sizzors; and we attached the sheet with suction cups to the sides of the tank. We also put some fake plants in to act as hiding places for the babies.

This is the 20 gallon tank and stand. I also included a picture of the under gravel filter as well. I have the rest of the parts, but they are not in the picture. The glass on the tank looks a little foggy. This is just dried salt and should come off with a quick rinse.

I don't have pics right now. I'll take some and send them to you tomorrow.

Sorry about the PM, my inbox was full. I deleted a number of messages and it should be good again.

Daniel,

Just to clear up any confusion, I believe Pat is referring to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). They are outlets typically found around water areas like kitchens and baths.

Pat has some great advise here. Something every reefer must have is a GFCI outlet to protect humans, fish, corals, and all those other critters. You can literally loose an entire tank or worse without them. I've seen two posts, just this year, on ARC where people have come home to almost everything being dead. Make sure to read the directions carefully before installing. Follow them exactly and you should have no problems. They are cheap, about $10 at Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes... and take about 10 min to install.

Pat,

Are you keeping a log/journal? As you live in Austin, I think they would be pertinent to those of us on this site who might want to try it. I know I'd be interested to see your findings with your outside tank experiments.

Thanks Mike, great info.

Just saw this on their site

Yellow Tang - Limit 1 with $79.99 Minimum Purchase! $9.99

Sale pending to tate1.

If you wanted something huge, you missed my 50 (to mabey 100) head hammer colony by a couple weeks. I do have more euphyllia that I might be wanting to sell soon. I have a 2 types of hammer, 2 types of frogspawn, and 2 types of torch. I also have 3 types of Duncans. I'm not sure what I'll be selling yet, but should be posting some on Sunday.

I'm taking apart a 75 gallon this weekend and selling about 45 lbs of live rock and about 50 lbs of live sand. I have someone interested in the rock and possibly live sand, but I am taking backups.

Live rock $3/lb

Live sand $1/lb

I am wanting to put together a cheap frag rack and wanted some input. I most people make them out of mag floats (I a mag float for that already). Can you use other magnets too? Do they need to be treated or can you use ones from Home Depot/Lowes? I believe magnets will rust, but I have seen people who have made frag racks out what seem to be bare magnets. One person stated they just bought one from Home Depot.

Thanks for any advise.

I'm selling a rectangular wall mounted fish tank.

This is a link to the online store that sells them. Their regular price is $299.99 and but their listed sale price is $169.99.

The actual tank pictures are below, which is the same as the one in the link.

I will take 10. I will get them at the meeting.

Sounds good James. I'll see you at the meeting with the shrimp.

Is he turning white all over? Has his behavior changed? Please post some pics.

Can you post some pics without the atinics on?

Bump
