I got those black spots on my yellow tang once. My lfs said something about "Black Ick"....I did some internet searching and came up empty. He said he knew a guy who'd treated it like regular ick and it worked fine. I did that and it did indeed seem to at least stop spreading. My wife's...

Woke up to a tank I couldn't see through this morning. 90 Gallon, Emperor 400 whatever...has a yellow tang, maroon clown, mandarin goby, bunch of snails and crabs, about 43 or so pounds or so of liverock. ANYways...the tanks been going strong for about two weeks now. Everybody's happy. Test...

Stinkin Clownfish anyway... ....I had no luck with four seperate Percs. Unfortunately...not having luck meant they didn't much care for any relationship at all with an anenome OR life...they just didn't seem to like living in my tanks. I've had one maroon Clown now for three weeks in one...

I have a tank full of Black Convicts that may as well have fuzzy tails and big long ears. Those guys are friggin nymphos I tell ya. :hugs: We currently have a batch of eggs on the side of a rock, I tried counting but my eyes started crossing....got up to about thirty or so. :eyes: We...

Oh sure...do it the easy way...

I'd re-read alot of Ayn Rand's stuff while I was deployed (The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, Anthem, We the Living). Same with Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker's Series, Dirk Gently's, and a recently released work called "The Last Chance to See" which is actually alot less funny than you would...

Groovy Billy. You da heat!

...and while it was filling with water I kind of started looking at it like a brand new notebook. So many possibilities. So many different ways to arrange so many different things. The tank itself is a 90 Gallon Wave. I've got a 300W heater and Emperor 400 on it at the moment. Then the...

The Lowes and ACE here in Clovis, New Mexico both have a couple pallets each for like $4.50 a bag. On a side note, I have an interesting question. There's several sand dunes around here (Eastern New Mexico) and one park near here in particular has more sand than I care to see after my 4 1/2...

Sorry for the delay... Salt creep....definitely. And in kind of an odd occurrence...it seems to be collecting on the bottom rim of the tank. Makes me wonder if it's starting to leak. I use a floating hydrometer-thermometer combo dealy. It seems to work pretty well.

My tank seems to be eating its salt. Thirty gallon tank with 25 or so pounds of live rock. Bubble tip anenome, velvet clown, emerald crab, couple margarita snails and a few hermit crabs, feather duster ... um....I seem to be leaving something out...but I'm sure it will come to me as soon as I...

Fellow Michigander here ...only I'm from waaaaayyyy over on the other side of the mitten. Howard City to be exact. (waits for the blank looks....gets them) Yes a little blinker town right smack between Grand Rapids and Big Rapids. Certainly took some adjusting when I got stationed in New...

Same problem here... ...only it seemed the tips of the legs started turning white and all the ...um...toes? ... under each leg started falling off. This morning two of its legs were missing about an inch long piece each. We've had it in the tank for just about two weeks now. Not acclimated...

Deal. See ya in the finals. :)

I said I wasn't going to hold that against you. :) In all honesty, they're my second favorite...followed closely by the stinkin Thrashers...don't know why really, just kinda like em. Dang dumb stupid Devils...grrrrr...
