  2. Feeding my new small clams

    I have froozen Nannochloropsis Instant algae that I have left from when I raised rotifers. http://www.reed-mariculture.com/ I have two new small clams that I think could need feeding. I took them out and placed them in a bowl and added some instant algae. Occasionaly they closed and squirted...
  3. Deep sand bed only tank.

    At inland aquatics I saw a 55 gallon tank that was at least 3/4 full with sand. In the few inches of water at the top were some corals that looked like they were doing well.
  4. lighting for rotifers

    I do not use live phyto. I have read the articles that recomend lighting but I think that they might all be assuming the use of live phyto. I am trying to find a second source to confirm or contradict that lighting does not affect rotifer growth.
  5. lighting for rotifers

    I am growing rotifers using the froozen instant algae stuff. Most articles on rotifers say that they should be lit, but the instant algae web page recomends darkness. Will the rotifers grow slower without the light? I was thinking that mabey light is recomended becouse it is good for the...
  6. What hydrometer do you use for your greenwater?

    I am starting another greenwater culture. I remember that when I grew greenwater in the past if I did not use a seperate hydrometer just for the greenwater I would end up with brine shrimp or rotifers growing in the greenwater. I have always used the SeaTest hydrometer but I remember when I...

  8. Does the PFO reflecter focuse in the same way as the spider?

    My 75 gallon tank currently has two 250 watt halide bell pendants. On Sunday I added a bunch of extra sand that had decreased over the yerars so now the live rock structure is about 6 inches higher than before. This pushed the live rock very close to the surface. Becouse the live rock is close...

  10. Anyone order from livebrineshrimp.com

    My rotifers and greenwater died while on spring break vacation I was looking at the aquarium fish magazine and noticed an add for livebrineshrimp.com. I checked out the website and it looked cheaper than the other places I have gotten rotifers and greenwater. Does anyone have experience...
  11. Do I need to remove them?

    I accidently got a few brine shrimp in my rotifer culture. Will the brine shrimp eat the rotifers or can I leave them together?
  12. What Reflectors Are You Using With Your MH???

    I have a hamiton pendant in which the bulb is mounted so it is perpendicular to the water surface instead of parallel like most hoods. I have been considering building a hood. Would I get more light with a hood and these spiderlight reflectors or with my pendants?
