Got two peps in my 30 and they have been slowly eating away at the aips, and haven't touched my yellow polyps. Saw one shrimp go over and inspect the polyps but moved on without any harm done. So far I would reccommend them.

What are the disadvantages of going the $100 route versus the other site...aside from the labor. Does using a mercury vapor ballast have any drawbacks? If you were looking to upgrade lights over a 30 long, would this be a good way to?

Saw in another post that there are four different types of peppermint shrimp. Is this true? Anyone have pics of the other types to compare? Thanks,

I have been adding a bit of tahitian blend every other day to my tank. Should I be adding something different or something in addition to this to help feed this guy? Thanks for your help

Out of curiousity, I read on a web site while trying to kill the bubble outbreak that this was actually a sign of good water parameters. I think my biggest problem came from the fact that I had popped quit a few large (as in the size of golf balls) while trying to remove them. I am guessing...

Well, I have a ton of bubble algae which seems to provide the perfect spots for aip to rear their ugly head from. So now I am trying to kill off both. Its horrible!!! I have some polyps that I am worried about getting chomped up by peps, and I can't find berghia anywhere. As far as the...

In my tank there is a marble sized semisphere. It seems to be made up of many smaller balls all about 1/8-1/4" in diameter. Each ball is clear with an opaque white center. Right next to this there is another marble sized mass, but this one looks like a solid white semisphere with a clear...

I think this should work nicely. Time to give it a shot.
