    Anybody know what this guy's idea is.. ebay fish trap?!?

    Does anyone know what this guy's plans are for? I sure hope it's not an inverted pop bottle trap.. I'd hate to spend the money for a brilliant idea of a fish trap and have it be just that. LOL http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=66795&item=4326777814&rd=1 :?: :? :?: :?

    Meet Squeak the Guinea Pig

    We inherited a cute lil guinea pig... her name is squeak. She enjoys eating cucumbers, garden vegetables and cantaloupe. And she likes to say "week week week" when she sees us bringing in special treats like nuts or garden lettuce. Now to figure out how to properly shorten her little claws...

    Anyone know where to buy ginger filters for Whisper HOBs?

    I saw some "Ginger" brand disposable filter pads with carbon inside at an LFS, they are an alternative to the "assemble it yourself" bio-bags for the whisper hob power filters: The difference is when you're done with the ginger, you just throw the whole thing away, the "frame" portion of the...

    Chromis gets a friend

    So a couple of months ago I stop into one of our crappy LFS's and take a gander around. I have since decided to not go there anymore just because they suck and I would not like to further their business with my cash. Anyway they had a tiny green chromis in a 10x10 acrylic flow-through block...

    For Hara - Xenia moves faster than we might realize!!

    This is a picture of a big colony of pulsing xenia in the 55. Note the stalks that are stuck to the glass. This glass - sticking happened sometime during one night, it wasn't a slow creeping type move like Xenia usually does. THe colony was on a rock when I shut the lights off, then 2 stalks...

    How to know when a saltwater aquarist is too tired to drive.

    I was just driving home from work at 12:30am a bit ago (went back to work on some stuff late) and as I was cruising along in the dark, I saw a blob of something on my windshield, and I thought: "cool.... coralline! " Needless to say I should really get to bed.

    Must..resist... saltwater

    The only tank I have left to my name that is freshwater, is a 46 bow that houses breeding guppies and 4 clown loaches. Now I'm fighting the urge to sell my beloved guppies and loaches, drain and clean the tank, and set it up for salt. I already have a 55sw, 40sw, 20sw and 75sw up and...

    Is your CPR Bak Pak LOUD?

    I picked up a CPR Bak Pak with my mushroom tank purchase, and fired it up in the 70g. It works fine but man it is sort of loud... a vibrating, buzzing sound. Even if you lift it completely off the frame of the tank a little and suspend it from your hand it is just as loud. When you disconnect...

    Arc Eye Hawk on a killing spree?

    I added a 2 1/2" arc eye to my 70 that has 4 yellowtail damsels, an engineer goby, 100lbs lr and a dsb. The first thing the stupid damsels did to the arc eye was to rub their tail in his face and make unpleasant gestures to let him know he was unwelcome. (bad move). A few days later, the goby...

    Clown Happiness and Natural Home Duplication

    I have read that "A clownfish needs an anemone about as much as it needs a bicycle" when in a reef tank with no predators. However after rasing 2 tiny baby clowns and watching them host in a finger leather and now a toadstool, I struggle to see the logic in this view. While clownfish don't...

    Salifert test kits: Speed of adding Reagent question

    Regarding the Salifert Marine Alk and Ca tests (which I really like), I have a question about adding the reagent (the last step in the process) The instructions indicate to add 1 drop of reagent, then shake the test solution a little, then 1 more drop, then shake a little, and so on. To save...

    Looking for a positive ID on a Flame Hawk

    Is this guy really a flame hawk? He acts like one, from what I have read. But he has a white stripe instead of black and also different pretty colorations around eyes and bottom of gills too. He is quite humorous and likes to perch all over the place, on top of snails, on mushrooms, you name...

    Moorish Idol 4.... Just kidding

    All kidding aside, my local LFS has a moorish idol as we speak, in a 60 gal or so tank. I was kinda shocked when I spotted this thing cruising around in real life. No, I am not going to buy it, but I do have a question.... do moorish Idols "chomp" like they are chewing gum really fast? This...

    Mr. Sticky's Underwater glue is NOT good for reef rocks

    I tried glueing a piece of tonga to another rock with Mr. Sticky's today. Toothpaste would have worked better, would have smelled a heck of a lot better too. the Mr. Sticky's was completely, absolutely worthless for glueing these rocks together and did not stick one iota. It literally almost...

    We have Marine Bio Spira

    Seems like I remember Bio Spira being hard to come by for some, and some people did not have it in their area, so I just wanted to let everyone know that there is some at one of our LFS's here and I think it was about 20 bucks or 22 bucks or so for a little packet of liquid. The store is called...

    Weird little ships-mast growths popped up, what are these?

    I wish I had a better pic but they are far back in the tank. Anyway two little things that look just like power line poles or sailing ship masts just popped up out of nowhere. Very weird. About 1 inch tall each. Anyone know what they are? I am betting some kind of worm??
