investigator1, you've got your tank in the kitchen??? Doesn't grease and stuff from frying get into the water? sorenb

I joined. And stopped my SETI program (which haven't found any ETI in spite of years of calculating). If I knew it existed, I would have joined earlier. I hope this small contribution will help. sorenb

How did you know I needed a calender??? Luckily they ship to Europe. Looking forward to get it! With the small current dollar value - it's even cheap :) sorenb

LOL, do you inject it with KCl first??? Otherwise it may not work methinks. sorenb

Nice pics! My tuxedo urchin did the same thing a short while ago. I assumed it was sperm, since I gather eggs would be larger?? The fish was also interested, but didn't seem to be able to feed on it as such. sorenb

Zoanthids are not generally a problem. I have several different beautiful types, they all behave well. sorenb

If rocks are place on sand, they may tumble down on the unsuspecting creature that happens to like digging around in the sand. I would put the rocks in first due to this. sorenb

I mean no offence, but be prepared that you may be witnessing the natural life cycle of cryptocaryon irritans, and not a cure or stabilization. The parasite spends 4-7 days on the fish, whereafter they leave to multiply in the substrate. Some weeks from now you may witness a reoccurrence of...

Although some people are comfortable with having the ich parasite (cryptocaryon irritans) present in their tanks, remember that you now have a good oppertunity to eradicate the parasite since you only have one fish to take care of. Many people have had fish die from ich even though they fed...

My LFS obviously have red flatworms, since the items I bought now have infected my quarentine tank with flatworms. (hooray for quarentine 8) ) Can I give flatworm-killing 45 second freshwater dips to any of the following: Turbo snail Astrea snail Caulerpa (different types) Tuxedo urchin...

I would be pretty sure myself that it was the fixture (light right?). It may well have released metals (and other things) into the water. If there was any power connected to it, a lot of copper (perhaps other metals as well) will have been released in the water by electrolysis (although I'm no...

Hi, sorry to hear about your tank. Did you do any changes on the tank recently? Any maintenance the day before the happening? Could the temperature have jumped? Any fumes from painting or pest control? Did any pump burn out? Any electricity in the water? Dropped any metal items in the water...

hi, when I tried to "help" my venturi by pumping air into it, it only made the bubbles larger. Large bubbles are not good skimmers. Have your bubble size changed :?: sorenb
