  3. Looking to buy?????

    Shelby1317, I purchased the 9 for $99 a few months back. I was very pleased with everything. I did get the sandbed clams. I think they're still around. Within minutes of putting them in the tank they burrow into the sand. Bad because you don't see them often(only when they are up against the...
  4. 15 gallon SPS/Clam tank possible with 96watts of PC lighting

    marillion, currently I have a 15g setup with 130watts of PC lighting. I never imagined putting any SPS into the system. If I did I would go for the MH 175watt. I can tell you that on a piece of live rock I have, came a unidentified encrusting SPS. Within the last month and a half it has been...
  5. Shrimp - a poll...

    I have a peppermint. I got him to control aptasia,which it did an excellent job. Downside, it nocturnal. I do see him when I feed the tank. Also I've noticed a small decline in my pod population. Now that my refuge is plumbed it should be on the rise. Overall I'm happy with the purchase.

  8. arc eye hawkfish

    Currently I'm housing a small arc eye with a pepermint shrimp. They are in a 15g witha pair of percs. I have never noticed any aggressive actions towards the shrimp so far. They both hang out on the same side of the tank. The shrimp is mostly active at night, but will come out when tank is fed...
  9. Live Squid

    One more thing I forgot to add. If you do ever deal with live squid. Watch your fingers, hand or any other thing they can sink there beaks into. Trust me I know
  10. Live Squid

    Hey claw, When I lived in Texas we used to go out and catch wild squid from Galveston Bay. Two problems we came across were the high mortality rate and the bad habit of inking. I'm under the impression that the ink in concentrated form can be harmful to fish. On the other hand in Galveston...
  11. Aiptasia from IPSF

    I too got aiptasia from there or so I believe. I caught it early on and trew in a peppermint shrimp and that was that. Now the shrimp is getting bold and taking flake food in the day time. I do have to say even with getting the aiptasia, I'm very pleased with my order from IPSF.
  12. IPSF.com

    Hey Les, I recieved my order from ipsf last wed. I got the 9 for $99. For my sandbed I did get the sandbed clams. They look very cool but they bury themselves within minutes. The only time you see them is when they are close to the glass. As far as good or bad I feel the more you have stirring...
  13. Shipping

    I hear what your saying about shipping via UPS they are rough on all packages. The other thing you should think about is how your livestock is packed by the MO company. I know this dosen't help when things are late, but its something to think about. I hope everything works out. Keep us informed.
  14. on a lighter note, here are some pics!

    IMO I believe it to be Briareum, following J. Sprung's book Corals A Quick Reference Guide. Anyhow great job on the MH lights. When will you have mine ready to be picked up?
