    moving red mushrooms

    right, sorry I should have explained that I bought these guys when I had 1 NO strip light running a 75 gal tank. When i bought the 4 X 65 watt light they took off. I have less than 3 watts/gal. AND YES!!! I love making something of value in my tank and trading it in. That's why I just...

    moving red mushrooms

    I'd love to have them reproduce quicker, but at a total of 60w of light that's unlikely.. unless yo have some tips? YEah, that's the ticket. Mine didn't really reproduce till I got a larger light. They will move to satisfy there own light needs. If you did want to move the larger ones...

    moving red mushrooms

    $50 a piece? I should ship them to you. I paid $25 for a piece with 5 shrooms and they offered me $15 a piece with 20 shrooms on them. I traded for a candy cane with 12 heads that they were selling for $35. Seemed like a fair deal to me.

    what do you do when your salt doesnt desolve?

    This used to happen to me when I bought bags of salt. Humidity turned the salt into rocks and it took awhile for them to disolve. Since switching to the IO buket it never happened. Just switched to Oceanic and no problems either.

    moving red mushrooms

    I have similar mushrooms that came on a rock. It started with five. I sold it back to the store this fall, with another rock that each had 20. My tank still has 70 or 80 red mushrooms in it and I just started two new rocks yesterday to sell back. I probably have a floater a week and they...

    [noob] I want a salty tank [/noob]

    I started in a very similar way. I upgraed my FW 10 gal. to a 55 and figured what the heck! why not try to run the 10 gal saltwater. THe ten gallon lasted about 2 weeks when I upgraded to a 75. Back then I started with the "Saltwater is for dummies book" which would answer a lot of your...

    HELP! Powder blue tang gets spots!!

    Just to update you guys, I pulled the PBT out of the tank in put him in my QT. Had to remove a lot of the rock and broke off my brain coral. I didn't have any more epoxy so I propped him up in the rocks. Over the course of two days I was lowering the salinity in the QT and the PBT was starting...

    HELP! Powder blue tang gets spots!!

    My Powder Blue shows his stress pretty well. He gets dark vertical stripes and goes crazy if something pisses him off. Anyway, He may be getting to large for the 90 gal I have him in, but he was in a 75 for 2 years and I just got the larger tank. I know that if he grows to adult size the 90...

    HELP! Powder blue tang gets spots!!

    I know it sounds like ich or maring velvet, but every fish seemed to be healthy and this has been going on since Thanksgiving when I added the shrimp. and none of the other fish show one sign of getting sick. All the other fish have been in the tank for over six months. The pseudo was in...

    HELP! Powder blue tang gets spots!!

    My Powder Blue tang that I have had for a couple of years has been very happy and healthy. I finally traded in a Royal Pseudochromis at my LFS and in return got a skunk cleaner shrimp. The tang and my flame angel love to be cleaned by the shrimp. They spend hours a day swimming up to him and...

    Question about using a MaxiJet instead of Mag- water return

    I use the an extra mj1200 for mixing water and then pumping it into the sump from my mixing container. You could use a smaller rio pump. They are not as popular , but they work well.

    Toadstool Leather Night/hunting Mode or Parasite

    I have noticed that at night, my toadstool leather erupts 5-6 small LONG (2 feet) tentacles that reach half way across my tank. Initial investigation has led me to believe that at night, the leather should just shrink up like my devils hand. I have watched the board for 2 weeks and searched...

    Yet another mushroom question!

    One word of advise, "RELAX." mushrooms take very little work compared to other tank inhabitants and as long as they are multiplying, they are happy. Plus over time they will tell you where they are happy because they will move and the ones in the correct light will look best. By the way if...

    I need a vacuum

    Lando, I have a hoover windtunnel, I don't remember the model numbers, but it is a bagless upright and the top of the line. I also have 2 siberian huskies. It has a lot of suction after owning it for three years, but I fill the bagless container on each floor of my house and empty it three...

    To bio-wheel or not to bio-wheel??

    Yeah, plus bio balls are cheaper, and live rock rubble is going to fill with the same detrius that is collecting in the balls. You just cant clean it out. Put the rock in the tank where it works well. Good point. Plus if you have this much cured rock you would not need the bio-wheel anyway...

    To bio-wheel or not to bio-wheel??

    You guys are always so quick to jump on the bio wheel. Melo is totally correct, The ammonia is way worse than the nitrate. I ran 2 penguin 330's in my 75 gal tank for over a year and never had a reading for nitrate. When a tank is new and just getting settled, the benefits of a bio-wheel...

    Has anyone ever bought this on ebay?

    I agree, I would do the same. Plus, He is supplying some materials. Which means he did not create any new trapping hardware. He took something he had lying around the house. If he patented it, you would see it in the store and say, "I could build that out of a coke bottle. I'm not going to...

    My Wishlist/Getlist

    "What does to high mean?" - Major League Still applies for you. It's tough to get light to the bottom of a hex. That light could work, you might want 25o watt.

    Clown in Anemone (pic)

    Just a quick thought. It looks like you have a powerhead directly behing that anemone. Maybe get a sponge or foam filter material and make sure it doesn't suck up their new home. :mrgreen:
