    I'm about to buy a Carpet Anemone - Should I ???

    Hmmm, too late, I got it for 20 bucks. The guy is nearby, so I will pick up, no shipping stress. We'll see...... MT79, I don't have any other anemones right now, the clown literally loved the sebae to "near death", it went into hiding under a rock for 2 month and when it came out I moved it to...

    I'm about to buy a Carpet Anemone - Should I ???

    It's a green Carpet Anemone, 11" the seller has had it for a year and says it's healthy, that's all I know. I've been wanting one, but I understand they are poisonous. I have a 180 g with 3 x 175 MH, should I go for it? I got about an hour to decide.....

    Things you have wasted money on for you SW tank...

    Cheap test kits here too. Bunches of them out of desperation. Oh yeah, that short Kent scraper, I was too cheap to buy the long handled version, so I am grinching my teeth when I use the little midget every week... The dremel tool I got for my boyfriend who swore up and down he could drill my...

    Curious question about Algae Waffers.

    Well, I have been using these very same algae wafers (bought at WalMart) and my crabs and Lawnmower Blenny and Tangs love it. No negative effects either.

    Red Flatworm Elimination Tips?

    I had them bad and did the Exit with success, it was, however, a stressfull undertaking. They are back and multiplying rapidly once again. Two Leopard wrasses do not seem to be interested. If nothing else helps I guess I will result to the Exit again. All I can say, take your time when you do...

    Pulsing Xenia not looking so good.

    I am by no means an expert, but yes the polyps balled up and looked as if they would die, not all of them, others looked good. I started out with one stalk and now I have 7 or 8 stalks, so I must be doing something right....

    WQ test kits

    I tried to save money by buying cheap test kits and ended up replacing them all with Salifert. Seams to be the most accurate.

    Pulsing Xenia not looking so good.

    Happened to me too and I got all freaky and thought it was a disease and I cut the stalk to prevent it from spreading. Afterwards I asked in a forum and was told that I shouldn't have cut it and that they do that from time to time. They are also heat sensitive I was told. Now I just leave them...

    Torch coral

    My torch had one head recessed a few days ago and I started worrying, just to see that the next day it was out again as if nothing ever happened.

    Collecting trip on Port Aransas jetties

    I am going on a collecting trip to the Keys this weekend. My goal is anemones and feather dusters this time, and some plants. In Florida we are allowed 20 pieces a person with a saltwater fishing licence. Excluded are live rock and sand and hard corals. I have a spot where I can snorkel right...
