    ID Please - cauliflower slug?

    Found two of these before, scraped them off and disposed of them. This one was attached to a snail. Upon removal I noticed it squirming a right itself. Good critter or bad critter? Tanks! Picasa Web Albums - Ed - Slug Picasa Web Albums - Ed - Slug Picasa Web Albums - Ed - Slug Picasa Web...

    Hairy Crab?

    I found and captured one of the these two crabs. Is this considered a hairy crab? The only hair I see is on the legs. The body appears to be smooth. http://www.photoshop.com/user/retinosa/?galleryid=f1fd7a8e3bbf4d15ac73bf00b67bc5b9&wf=share&trackingid=BTAGC Thanks in advance for your...

    Holy Tuna Cakes! I had no idea there was such an animal as a tunicate. You guys are great! Attached is hopefully a better picture of the coral(?). It's about 3/8 inch in diameter. I cannot tell if it's been huffing and puffing during the day, but it seems to be getting bigger, slowly. Thanks...

    Nitrates

    Great! Tanks for the reply. With your large fuge and macro algae, do you still need to perform weekly water changes? Or is a large fuge not enough to handle all the nitrates?

    Nitrates

    Hello, I am a newbie waiting to my tank to arrive. As I understand the nitrogen cycling process, we change 10% +/- of the old water primarily to get rid of nitrates? How effective would a fuge with plants(algae?) and a deep sand bed be in reducing the labor and nitrate levels?
