me toooooooo!

I always use shrimp from the supermarket to feed my snowflake moray. I usually take off the shell, and cut it into bite size pieces, then feed it. about 15 shrimp cost about $1.50?

Look in the DIY section of the forums

I was able to find a float that attached to the side of my sump from Tractor Supply Co, wheich was designed to be used for cattle water troughs. It cost about 9 bucks and works great!!

I just drop in the shrimp pellets for the hermits and snails. I use a phytoplankton liquit for the corals, without the filter running, and the hermits will also eat whatever falls to the bottom, or sometimes, they will go after the algae clamp at the top of the tank, if they can climb there...

I have adapted a system from my water pipes, into a ro/di since I need it, but I suppose you could do without it. If you look in the DIY section, you will see some odeas, but basically, I tapped the cold water pipe, and used flexible tubing for that, to a valve that prevents backflow. This...

I get this when my skimmer needs adjusting also. One other thing, I noticed that when my lift tube for the overflow box needed cleaning, there wasnt as much of a "waterfall" effect into the over flow box and then there would be a film on the surface of the tank. Cleaning the lift tube and...

We had a power pole get hit by a truck down the block. Although the UPS helped out, it was down too long and we lost our Flame Angel. The fish started to crash and once it got too low in the tank, our two large hermit crabs got it. :cry: At least it didnt go to waste?

We always seem to miss it...LOL And the hermit crab that has host anemones on it, even moved the anemones when he /she got a new shell!

Mine are there almost every night when the lights go out

I am in Staunton. Tell me what I need to do?

This is why I found someone who was skilled in Saltwater tanks to watch mine when I went away! If anything went wrong, I think it would have been covered.

I have never seen a UPS with a GFCI device attached. I would say that it might be a good idea to have the UPS plug into one (I have it set up that way, so if it trips the circuit, the battery will work, until I reset it) I recently had a power outage from a cut power cable and once the battery...

I tooo have a fighting conch and all it ever does is bury itself in the substrate and hang out. It does sift once ina while and has never bothered any others, including the corals.

I am using a UPS made for a computer. It gives me about 6 hours of filter and even longer if I just use a pump. A Marine Deep Cycle battery and an inverter would last even longer, but I like the UPS cause it will switch over automatically. You can get inverters that have a sensor for the...

I have a Lunare Wrasse and it is the coolest fish. Very active

Love those big Nassarius snails! Turbo snails are cool too.

One other thing I added was a valve to prevent backflow when the power is off. I used a one way sump pump vavlve from Home Depot and some extra tubing and clamps. I placed it above the return PH. That way, I can turn off for feeding or in case of a power failure ( I also have a UPS for...

I called a bunch of pet sitters and no one has experience with tanks, especially saltwater. Im doomed!

Wow! Good price too. I payed like 5 bucks for one that was about 2" long. We never see it either, it is always buried in the sand.

I use the same thing for adding water to my top off tank and to do water changes. A power head, a length of flexible hose and a bucket!! Works great!

My Clarkii were hosting the star polyps we have, and sometimes the spaghetti corals. Now, we added a Green Carpet Anemone and the female Clarkii has taken it over!! I have to see if she will feed it, but she is sleeping in it as I type this.

I am using store bought Nori and they all love it. Even my Clarkii and Wrasse eat it
