  1. The anemone crabs also love the green algae that is sold in sheets, they'll take it from my fingers. Mine lives in my bubbletip anemone, previously he hosted a torch coral I had in there. Awesome little guys.
  2. Just continually measure your salinity as you add salt. Start with what you know will be less than your target salinity and ease up on it.
  3. I've got the same setup on my desk at work and absolutely love it. I've got a tailspot blenny and elongated pseudochromis. Be careful with tiny fish as they do like to jump. You can put a piece of knitting mesh over the top for the first few weeks after adding fish until they become used to the tank. Also, you may start to notice a film on the top of the water because filtration is minimal with the included pump. I bought this one (spray bar) and it does a great job of providing extra flow and keeps the surface agitated, the best $15 I spent on the pico.
  4. I use noip.com. It's a program that runs on my pc and updates the website whenever my dynamic ip address changes. Additionally I route all incoming traffice to port 443, this port should be open for you Mark as it is what encrypted web traffic uses.
  5. I've got some softies you're welcome to, my colt coral grows like a weed.
  6. I'd be interested in seeing some candy canes and some time of anemone, maybe a clam. Some truly photosynthetic creatures.
  7. Howdy, and welcome. Tell us a little about your experience and your setup.
  8. Why not spend $10 and get a $5 square jug at any of our LFS? That's what I use for the topoff reservoir for my 90g.
  9. Awesome Kim! Love the black and whites the best, and especially like the reflection photo. Way to apply what you learned!
  10. Glad it's going well for you. My pico is back up and running at work and I'm loving it.
  11. Enjoyed everyone who made it, I'm happy to host again the next time you need a location. Thanks to our great presenter, Dave, for making the trip all the way south.
  12. Very cool, I love puffer personalities. You're keeping these in the fuge to your marine tanks? Did you have to acclimate them to the higher salinity?
  13. Other option is prepare to do a large water change, drop the water level in the tank by 50%. You'll drastically cut away any escape routes and will be able to corner him much easier.

    Crocea Clam

    A while back I saw a website selling custom made clam cradles, but can't find the link anywhere. Anyone have this?
  15. If you use Google Maps DO NOT take it's advice and come up Rancho Alto from the south side (via 1626). The road is destroyed at that intersection and is really rough on your car. Look forward to seeing everyone.

    Question!!

    I'd love to have one or two. You coming to the meeting tomorrow?
  17. Keep in mind if you do feed silversides to only give small pieces. I was originally overfeeding mine with too big of a piece and the BTA struggles with it. You should only be feeding them pieces approx the same size as the mouth. I've found mine have a harder time expelling the waste from a large feeding. The benefit to target feeding is that you should see faster growth/faster splits, but it shouldn't be required.
  18. I spoke to Hunter at AquaDome and they are running a deal on CUC (incl. hermits, snails, urchins, sea hares, algae eating true crabs) if you buy more than $50. Not sure about our other sponsors.
  19. Check with Mark, I know he can point you to a good deal on them as well.
  20. Works for me, not too late for me to jump in is it?
  21. I'm in for a bucket of Coralife.
  22. I'm in need of salt and know that several of our sponsors have offered Group Buy rates in the past. Are any of them up for arranging a group buy?
  23. Looking forward to having everyone over. Feel free to bring kids, I'll have cartoons playing in the game room.
