The newest pic. It seems to move on its own. There is nothing beneath it I checked when I moved the rock to get this better picture.

The only thing is the spagehtti part is coming out of the ball of white. I haven't added any live rock for 4 or 5 months now and 1 week ago this thing just "appeared" littlerally overnight. Now if I remember my biology wouldn't a sponge take a while to grow from a few cells to a mass? Not just...

Here is the pic. It is the best I could do seeing how the egg sack is sort of on the back side of the rock.

Just wanted to ask a quick question. Will a fish lay eggs even if there isn't another fish of the same speices of the opposite sex in the tank? I wouldn't think so but I am curious. I have an egg sack about the size of a marble all white in color with long strings attaching it to my live rock...

Does anyone have any experience with these? I got one two days ago and haven't seen him since. The evening I put him in the tank he made a little house under one of my rocks. Then later that evening he came out and munched down on some sand. Now I haven't seen him for two days 8O The LFS said...

Its in my gallery if you want a bigger view of it. :) My friend took that picture about 2 years ago, when I got to go diving almost every weekend. Now with 18 month old twins the diving has ceased for you guessed it about 20 months. Anyway it was taken off of Catalina at Ship Rock at about...

Readings Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 15 Salinity 1.022 Temp 76 Also how do you "seed" your base rock. Just by having it (the live rock) touch your base rock? I was planning on getting 10 or so pounds of live rock to stick in there this weekend. Well I went to the LFS last night and picked...

My tank is about 1 1/2 months old now. FO 4 or 5 big pieces of rock none if it live. Now I am getting a light brown algae starting to form on my sand. I was wondering about how long before I should add some cleaner guys. I was looking at liveaquaria.com and they have "cleaning crew" packages. I...

OK let's see if I can remember the checklist. I will post a picture as soon as I can get a good one. :) I have had him for about a month now. He was my first fish after I cycled my tank. He was looking great up until about 2 weeks ago. At first it looked like his scales were missing. Now...

Well we are finally getting our tank. We are starting off with a 60 gallon and I had a question. We want an acrylic tank but what brand to get. Everyone has heard of Sea Clear and Tenecor but what about Clear for Life. It seems they are cheaper (at least around here) and also have a lifetime...

Purigen removes proteins, nitrites and nitrates, ammonia, and a broad spectrum of organics, yet its impact on trace elements is minimal. It significantly raises redox. It polishes water to unparalleled clarity. So if I understand this right you could potentially use this stuff for all of your...

It does look cool but I found this on http://www.masla.com/bangaii.html "Ironically, for as easy as it is the raise these fish in captivity the large numbers collected from the wild have placed the Bangaii cardinal close to being entered on to the Endangered Species List. " So you might want...

One man Jacque Coustea and his undersea adventures. When I was a kid I loved watching those shows. Still do actually :D That is also what got me into scuba. I had a 20 gallon fresh when I was a kid. We had that thing for years. Then I tried s/w. I was in college and didn't really devote the...

What you have to do now is go to your local Scuba shop get certified then pick up a used drysuit and have some fun. :) I even use a drysuit down here in the winter. Then you can swim in the worlds biggest fishtank.....

Maybe in norcal that's what you get. But the dive sites we visit are pretty much trash free. All the various groups grab trash if they see it. Now, if I wanted to do a Newport Bay tank that would be a different story. I would need some way to recreate the oil slick on the water surface and get...

Yeah I know the light requirement is not nearly what corals need. Our water clarity is not nearly what the tropics are due to all the plankton we have in our water.

I am glad you guys are as excited as I am. The only thing is I don't really know where to begin? That is why I posted. Maybe I will try and email the Long Beach Aquarium and Monterey Bay Aquarium. They have huge tempertae tanks.

Water temp down here at depth is 55 in winter to 68 in the summer. There are some small reef fish, but you are right in stating that most fish do get rather large. Plus the brightest fish would be a Garibaldi but those are illegal to catch. It would mostly have anenomes, small crabs, baby...

Harlequin Tusk they are way cool. They look like the bulldog of the fish world with those teeth sticking out 8O

I have already posed this question in the California regional forum. I live in Southern CA and I thought it might be fun to have a tank that shows off our local waters. That way my friends can see 'what I see' when I go diving. Has anyone here ever tried a temperate setup? Are they harder than...

Now one would need a huge tank for this bad boy!!
