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...

Happy Friday everybody! Need some brainstorming done. I have a beautiful little Scopus and a large Purple Tang in my tank. Also a gorgeous Flame Angel finds its home here. I keep several lettuce clips filled with snacks for these guys during lightson. When I placed a cucumber into a clip and...

Any suggestions would be appreciated regarding a lower price for T-8 endcaps. The following is the best price thus far found. Endcaps with 9' Leads and Lamp Clips T-8 1" http://www.coralreefproductions.com/Corallife2.html Can you help beat this price? TIA, Sue

Reporting in on this one... I would discourage adding a second Clown after having one established in a tank. It is not likely to be a positive situation. I tried adding a second Clown with NO success. Fortunately, I put the new clown in a plastic bubble (full of holes for water to pass through)...

Wonderful feedback, everybody! It is always such a pleasure to read your personal experiences. Fire Shrimp are very interesting, gorgeous; and, Johnnie, you are right. His antennae sticking out behind a rock is often how I know where my little guy is in the tank. And those antennae are long and...

Hi Doza, Thank you so much for passing this information on to AA. The webcams are fascinating! (The tiger cameras are running later in the day than the other three areas, I notice.) I will look forward to your setup. What a great idea. Please advise when you are open for business! I will defer...

Hi Tristan, You have asked some excellent questions. I'm glad the feedback you have thus far received has help guide you. Several questions answered might help even more with responses. Can you say a little more about your goals in setting up a saltwater tank. Are the beautiful fish what most...

Thank you, Mark. Cut and dry and great info. I will pass it along. Yes, definitely LR, though he is adding it piece by piece. Appreciate you! Sue

KILLER, no question =] ss

Several questions a friend is asking me concerning creating a DSB in an established tank. He is heading towards using the Berlin filtering method. 1. Is it possible to create a DSB, adding sand over dolomite? 2. Is it possible to have a DSB with an underground filter in use? 3. If using live...

I would like to offer some of my considerations while reef building. Clean 'windows' are very important to me. One thing I always do when building a reef is to keep the LR away from the front and ends of the glass. Also, not packing rock next to the ends makes another access for fish to swim...
