so pulling it out makes it grow more? when you say "pulling it out" do you mean removing some from the tank completly? or pulling a leaf off and putting it elsewhere in the tank?

So the shrimp ARE afraid of the light? i thought so. I just installed some DIY night lights for my tank. last night when i turned them on, and the regular and room lights off. Petunia (the shy shrimp) started wondering around the tank!! thanks all for the good info

Im confused. Please let me know if i understood you corectly. "harvest a little at a time to keep it from taking over with out killing it"? Thats what i understood of your advice. did i get it right?

Ive had one for like 3 weeks and the other for 3 days why do you think its risky? do you think i should wait? The "older" shrimp is like that, he will eat from my hand "clean" my hand. You realy think they will just hang in the back the whole time? the pair of them sometimes hang out under...

In my tank at the moment i have 2 cleaner shrimp 6 turbo snails and 10 cerith snails. I added the 2nd cleaner shrimp on Sunday. My tank has been running for 4.5 weeks. Here is my dilemma. The cleaner shrimp have taken to hanging out under one of the really big rocks in the tank. the rock forms...

Im thinking of adding see grass or some marco alge to my tank (like the maiden's hair). I just think it looks nice. I have some questions: 1) What kind of lighting is needed for groth? (i have some plant grow bulbs i got from home dept, are those enugh?) 2) Is it posible to make more...

Thanks for the heads up.

i see. understand now. i however would be glad to pay a buck for a bunch. cant just expect people to give things away :-P

If they reproduce so rapidly what harm does it do to your tank to sell them? why not be nice and help a fellow reefer out who wasnt lucky enugh to get any hiding in his live rock? And let me clerify, Can you buy asterina starfish at a pet store or LFS?

Those asternia stars seem cool. Id like to get some. Can you buy them? or do you just have to be lucky enugh to get a hitch hiker?

How can you tell if a fish (or any other tank member) is having problems with not geting enugh food?

Ok, thanks for the advice. I had decided originaly that i didnt want fish because of my frequent trips. One of my friends girlfriends thought it was a bad reason, citing the desolving feeders. well i guess its a bad reason because they can get by for a weekend by themselves. How long of a...

Thankyour all for your advice. As such i returned the seaclone skimmer and purchased a Coralife 125 skimmer from another member.
