Never used it, so I couldn't tell you anything positive or negative about it.

Could someone point my towards the I.D. forum, so i can find out what that anemone looking thing is? I can't find that section

Aquatic Critter is the best place for live rock, idk how much it is online but its 6.99 here and i love it so far. But if your ever near nashville, its worth going to.

and.. Thing is, I picked them small everytime i went. First time i went, i picked up a 6 pounder to start me off. then ever since i picked up a 2 pound, 3 pound, another 6 pound. Thats just about all, I just pick out the one with lots of holes in it, big or small.

-Cant wait to add the 50+ pounds from reefcleaners

 

[hackteck]

you plan on going reef or just fish only?

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

yea you can add stuff as you go along

yeah that's why i posted a wanted for asternias

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

id hate to see you get a mantis shrimp. you got bristles too?

 

[KSum89]

I plan on going reef soon, i just switched over to SW after i gave away my freshwater tank. I want to start slow, i'm just learning about live rock..which is already more complicated than FW tanks by itself.

Yeah, i had 2 bristles but i got rid of one thinking it would kill my fish. But i still have one more in my rock, i see its long white/black striped arms.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

lol im a new saltie as well id be happy to help best i can

 

[KSum89]

I want to get mantis shrimp. its about that time to google.. I want to see what they look like and what they do for the aquarium.

Next time i go to the store, im definitely picking up a Cleaner Shrimp.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

[Purevil21]

Mantis shrimp can be kept in a species only tank, they will kill any and everything else.
