    Sponge takeover?

    I'm not sure if i'm having a problem or not? I have a few species of sponge that have come on my LR, however, the one seems to be growing at a supersonic rate. I've noticed that the sponge has grown my LR together forming a wall, also the sponge has made a 3 inch ledge below one of my LR...

    Shrinking Shrooms and Xenia

    I've been doing the same thing for 6 months now, a 10 gal PWC every week the exact way...same amount of salt to water ratio. I've been using Purple Up for a few months now, and every 3 days i add a drop full of Marine Snow...there are a few stalks of xenia that have started to SLOWLY grow back...

    Shrinking Shrooms and Xenia

    Cowfish diet

    Ok to make a long story short, I am housing a very small hovercraft/helmet cowfish for a friend. My friend who has a 120g is moving into a 180g and wants me to babysit the cowfish until the 180g is ready. The thing is that it was a "spur of the moment" purchase and he knows nothing about them...

    Yellow Tang

    from what i understand, take a yellow tang for example, the fish will eat everything that floats by and in the process push his food out WITHOUT fully digesting it, so in turn they dont really get the nutritional value from their food. They basically get half of what they need...if that makes...

    Cleaner Shrimp Question

    I actually had 2 peppermints killed by my pistol shrimp, and I thought to myself - Pistols are supposed to be harmless. Well I did more research and found that due to their poor eyesight, they always feel threatened. I actually observed one of the peppermints walk by his burrow and get "shot"...

    2 story sump?

    My Team won!!!!!!!!!!

    I cant even fathom his stats on a decent team with a line and a fullback, let alone even if he played for maybe 5 more years than he did! :D

    My Team won!!!!!!!!!!

    ok, as much as i despise Bettis he is a good runningback but NOT a GREAT one. He is still overrated and personally i dont believe he should go in the Hall but that wont happen. He never dominated a game, the Pitt defense did. And he was always surrounded by an above average team. Jchillin look...

    My Team won!!!!!!!!!!

    Credit should be given to the unsung heros of football - the linemen. Not some overweight runningback

    My Team won!!!!!!!!!!

    Bettis is given charity runs! He is over rated...the guys who never get the credit and should is the line that he's run behind for over 80% of his career. Another over rated runningback - Emmitt Smith. You take the leagues worst RB and put them behind the steelers line, the dallas line of old...

    Long tentacle plate coral (green)

    ok well i bought the long tentacle plate yesterday afternoon and after acclimation it was doing well, swaying and outstretched. However, i tested my water today and found my pH at 8.0 so i added some buffer and the tentacles have been closed up ever since and that was around 4 PM EST.

    Long tentacle plate coral (green)

    ok, but in a 55g with power compacts, i would think the substrate would be too far away?

    My Team won!!!!!!!!!!

    O yea, i forgot...the only thing Jerome "Short bus" Bettis deserves is a Weight Watchers diet! I hate that fat jiggling, overrated, celebrates WAY too much for no reason, underachiever. O-ver-rated (clap clap clap-clap-clap) O-ver-rated (clap clap clap-clap-clap)

    My Team won!!!!!!!!!!

    First thing first, the only Steeler deserving enough for a Super Bowl ring would be Cowher for his amazing tenure as Head coach in ONE place and his consistency. Although, it would be yet another amazing feat for Big Ben to become one of the youngest QB's to win a SB. However, i pick Seattle by...

    Long tentacle plate coral (green)

    So the LFS has a long tentacle plate coral for sale, and it looks very interesting. Just inquiring some advice from everyone before i make a binary-buy LOL sorry, just had to. Would they be able to kill small fish with their sting? If placed high enough in a tank with PC bulbs would they...
