Hey I fell back a sleep and missed the first half hour +/-. I don't know if much happened during that time, You guys were mentioning something when I came in,so if you think there is something there worth reading please post...........Tami

mmm, well that has got me to " really" thinking twice LOL Just not a bug , "thing" person

Jason, Sorry I dont know how much if, any of the chat I will make. I have a Funneral on TV to attend. I know that part way through is going to be a life story, which I know well, so I might be able to jump on line during that but dont know for sure what time that will be......But will do my...

Subject:cycling/sump I have thought about using my current tank as a sump for my larger tank. Have thought a lot about using it as part of the cycle of the larger one. So, how would I do that? Use two pumps and slowly add water to the larger tank? Similar to doing water changes? At what...

Hi Olaf, Did you cycle the tank? If so did you use cured or uncured. I am kind of scared of using uncured because of what might come in on the rock. I would freak if all those crabs where in my tank. As it is I know all those bristle worms were in my tank, did not bother me. But since the...

HI, I have no problems or complaints about the lit. I enjoy the simplicity of the lecture lit and enjoy the articles. Well I have to admit I have a hard time reading the research papers. I usually just end up skipping to the diss. section But that is probably still haven't recovered from all...

Hi, Dont know if this will help as I am not sure if you were just venting or what but here is a really good website. It is called Chuck's Addiction. Look in the inverts and the hitch hikers area. Lots of crabs to see http://home2.pacific.net.ph/~sweetyummy42/index.html Tami

Where do you usually get your LR from? Guess one of my problems is the more "Live" it is the more "things" it has on it that "I" would have to pick off that I dont want in my tank. mmm Wonder if that is something I can get "honey" to do?

Okay, Jason I think I see what you are saying, and I am thinking "really good test kits", and yes some continuous freshwater in flow would be good James, I am not sure, Are you talking about a pre-establish refugium/sump that would cycle the tank? Tami

Jason, Some nice looking rock. Bob, yea, if your not into SW, you just dont get it. The closes I come is someone asking "is that hard", but occasionally I get someone that starts asking questions because they are thinking about going salt. Also, I would love to try this soft cycle but on a big...

Well I remembered us talking about DSB, and was reading this. Thought I would share Tami SAND SYNAPTIDS: I have found, what I believe could be the answer to the problem of obtaining the life needed that will maintain your deep sand beds. All within one single animal. During my excavations...

Okay, first no problem. It wasnt this post that made me make the comment it was the pure fact that nobody is using the forum for the most part. Second, no problem about missing it. Third, I was just trying to post something to get people posting. Looked at the chat transcripts and this being...

Well I guess I just give up on trying to get anything going on this forum. Just aint happening or wasnt meant to be Tami

Jason So did you want to talk anymore about these, and their role in choosing /using lighting?

okay thanks, was just wondering. I know that with shrimp method of cycling a tank I was always confussed about how it actually worked. Put some shrimp in tank for a couple of days, take it out, let tank do its thing, when ammonia is gone and LS. Never understood how the bacteria stays alive...
