  1. Tunze osmolator vs Elos osmocontroller

    theyre not alone, but are with only peaceful tankmates (ie zebra gobies, mandarin, coral beauty + inverts [no other shrimp]). the goby started to venture out for the first time last night, but the shrimp is still a no-show. i've been spot feeding at the entrance to their burrow since theyve...

  6. Tank weight????

    I bought both the tank and stand off a friend so im not sure of the manufacturer, its not indicated on either of them. But 200 lbs seems reasonable. Thanks a ton!!!
  7. Tank weight????

    Hey guys, I'm in need of your valuable help once again. It looks as though I'm moving across the country in a month or so, I'm bringing minimal possessions but I'm doing my best not to part with the tank, of course. Does anyone know, off the top of their head, the weight of an empty glass 46...

  11. Wild Hermit Crab??

    My boyfriend recently brought home a hermit crab from naragansett bay, RI. I am aware that anyone's first advice would be to return it to the wild but he is rather intent on keeping it. I have set up a tank for it and it has been doing well for the past two weeks or so. I have experiemnted with...

  13. mandarin :o(

    hmm i will have to try the cyclopeese....i had some success with sea urchin eggs (uni) for about a week when i first got it and then it changed its mind...so theres gotta be some potential for feeding it other foods
  14. mandarin :o(

    the 50 gallon has had his mandarin for almost a year and the 29 gallon for over 3 years...the both probably just scored part of that small percentage of the hardy ones. eh, just my luck..
  15. mandarin :o(
