Ditto Ssilentrob, Aaron. Appreciate your looking this info up. You're a doll. Sue

Generally the same. So, I guess this is the price range we are dealing! Thanks again! Sue

Thank you Michael. Appreciate your taking time to check Hellolights! Sue

"Is the mouth tightly closed?" I am wondering the indicators if an anemone has a closed or open mouth. How about a Brain coral... would this question pertain, as well? Learning, learning! =] Sue

Guy, Would you say a little more about the Limpet and your warning to keep any away from Leathers, please. Sue

Kevin, Your two new frags are really, really interesting. The first, the 'slice,' is very neat. I would love to watch as these guys grow. Please, if you are able, post updating pix. I am only beginning to experiment with fragging. I think it is such a great and exciting way to increase one's...

Guy, Silversides and Lance fish? These are live fish? Dried? I have seen neither available at LFSs. Sue

Hara brings to mind another question I have been tossing around... that is, how much is too much. During lightson I attempt to keep a piece of vitamin soaked nori (seaweed) in a lettuce clip for my crew. I usually have to refill this clip once or twice during their day. In a second clip, I have...

Michael, Before giving up on the idea, it seems the LR re-arrangement has produced good results on this accord. Is it possible for you to make some changes in your aquascape? My Maroon has a foot-tall rock of very hairy mushrooms he calls home (and almost as wide). Possibly if I were to move...

Am I correct folks? As Jean mentioned, using a DSB (at least 4 inches) and an ample amount of LR/gallon of SW only to run a system constitutes using the Berlin Method of filtration? Good success, Jean. The understanding you mention is confusing as a concept. As I understand it, basically it's...

Aaron, thanks for doing my online footwork. The prices you found are in the ballpark of what the LFS charges when Fire Shrimp are available, sans the shipping, of course. I appreciate your researching for me. And Rob, thank you for the link to Fire Shrimp husbandry. How interesting! BTW, would...

Great question! Anyone in the group familiar with Australian Harlequin Tuskfish? I would like info, too. Usually any sea creature with the name 'Harlequin' included is indicative of pretty coloration. I was privileged to see a Harlequin Shrimp at a LFS, and it was BEAUTIFUL. (Unfortunately...

I am not familiar with Greenex. For what purpose might one consider adding it to a SWF tank, please? Sue

Thanks guys... consider this your update. You all make total sense. I very much accept the notion of feeding the fishes things found in their world. Very possibly fruits are more like candy. Sure do not want to promote rotten teeth... or gills. =] So, until anyone should cross with facts...

Hi Hara, A friend has drilled shallow holes in his live rock and joined the rock pieces with plastic doweling. (Actually he used measured and cut pieces of mini blind rods.) As a further means to secure his reef, he used black strapping strips placed around pieces. I have never tried to join...
