Not only harmless, but they're great filter feeders and will help keep your water cleaner.

Sounds fun!

Goby gone, tank's not. Bump.

I'm in South Austin, anyone going by to pick up that could bring mine part way?

I'd be in for some CUC in a group buy.

tank still available. Bump

Not the thread I was looking for, but here is some more info. http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/jellyfish/aquarium.php http://jellieszone.com/captivejellies.htm

+1 to what timfish said, saw a thread last week about a guy keeping a common jellyfish in a 1-3 gallon jar. I'll see if i can rustle up that link.

I've got a pico setup with live sand, some rock rubble, and some softy corals. I believe it's a 3g, pc light, heater, and extra filter with spray bar for additional flow. It's a clone of the one I've kept on my desk since last year and works great, low maintenance. LMK if interested.

Paid.

Hope you had a good one and got to enjoy some time for yourself!

I'm in for 1

Yes, ditch the stock filter. Find one of the skimmers that will fit in the back, and put a piece of filter floss near the overflow to catch larger items. Go to mediabaskets.com if you want to find a nice all in one solution.

Got hit this morning (Pedernales Electric) and power was off about 20 mins. News said that they're trying not to go more than 30, which should be fine. Two things I'm worried about are temp and water agitation, since the lights normally provide my heat in winter. They pull too much power to run on a UPS. Harbor Freight has an 800w gas generator for $129, and there's a 20% coupon available online

That's similar to what my clownfish eggs looked like (pattern) except mine were orange. Mine would turn brown as they matured., and were always next to the anemone that the clowns hosted. Are there any fish trying to guard them?

No offense meant Crab, I was just pointing out that what you were recommending was more for acclimation than for QT. You segued from saying that your QT procedure varied from fish to fish and then dove into how you used your fuge for acclimation. I pointed out the difference for inexperienced reefers who might find the thread and misunderstand, thinking that using a fuge or an in-tank basket actually provides an effective quarantine from pest or parasites. In my experience, early on I purchased a small Kole tang from an LFS. Upon getting it home, I acclimated it and dropped it in my 90g tank. Immediately upon seeing it hit the water my actinics picked up dots of white all over the fish. Argue what you will about ich, but I had never had it on my fish prior to them being exposed to the new tang. Within three days half of my fish were dead including my favorite 5" long green mandarin that ate frozen. I was devastated. Quarantining him upon purchase for a few weeks would have allowed me to observe him in a more contained environment and upon seeing the ich I would have been able to treat him without fear of medication effects on my main tank. Likewise, a few months ago one of my newly acquired clownfish came down with cotton-mouth. I was able to put him in the eclipse and treat him until he recovered. I agree with you that most fish we purchase often won't be bothered nearly as much by parasites as they will from the shock of being dropped in a new tank and finding their niche in the pecking order. All of our goals are the same, to add healthy fish to our tanks at times and to insure that the fish prosper as well as to safeguard our existing livestock. We just do what we can to try and prevent new reefers from suffering fish losses.

Yes, still have him and he's still available. Box has been cleared out now for those of you who wish to PM.

Yes, it is.Not a great pic but I can send more later. The lid was open because I had a digital thermometer run into it. Second pic is of the GSP and devils hand leather. The leather is huge (shown just as it opens in the morning), about 8", and it comes with the tank.

It's not really a QT if you're doing it in your sump or an acclimation box. QT requires a separate aquarium to truly quarantine, otherwise you're just allowing the fish to adjust to your setup and preventing aggression. You're still allowing any parasites on your new fish to be exposed to your existing fish/tank, which is the primary reason I QT.

bump $275, will include live sand and free frags, but goby will be gone by then.

It depends on what you plan to quarantine. If it's a new fish 2" or under, you can probably do what I do and use a standard 12g eclipse tank. You won't need a skimmer, lights, or any other expensive equipment as long as you do regular water changes. The small size makes the water change easy as well as making it easy for you to see and monitor the fish. Mine has stock light with a heater and a small maxijet powerhead. I throw in some pvc elbows to give the fish cover and they're easy to clean after treatment. Total equipment cost if you can find a used eclipse is about $50. When I'm not using it, I empty it and it doesn't take much room in the garage.

I've got some colt coral and devils hand leather frags you're welcome to.
