Found an Asterina Coronata on the live rock this morning. He is tiny, and I did not have my camera handy. When I turned on the lights he slowly hid in a hole. I will try and snap a picture of him this afternoon if I see him again. Due to his size, I may not see him for a very long time. I...

Very, very well put!!

=( =( Super sucks!! Reads like a bit of a devil though. I imagine it is for the best. Just not for your Nemo =( Sorry for your loss(es).

Cool saw. Thermoplastic, eh?

The mouth kinda resembles a cucumber shown here. http://www.poppe-images.com/photo/collection/940000/web/943333.jpg

I've not decided entirely yet. My list of potentials so far is: Two young slightly different clowns that are young and see if they will pair up. White or Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse if I don't get clowns. Court Jester Goby Green Clown Goby Purple or a young Helfrichi Firefish (Maybe a pair)...

So, I am a little bored at the office while I wait for my 2PM appointment. I'm doing a little down the road planning of some livestock. When my cycle has balanced I plan to add a CUC and a single fish. My plan is as follows: Astraea Conehead Snail x 10 Nassarius Snail x 5 Dwarf Zebra Hermit x...

This morning I order the second phase of system parts. I ordered the Hydor Nano Protein Skimmer, JBJ Nano-Glo 4-LED Magnetic Refugium Light, and some chaeto. I will be going to the LFS on Thursday to pick up one more piece of live rock and some rubble for the converted refugium. Will also be...

I am so sad for you. Best wishes for the future.

Oooooooooo, purdy!! Me likey da purple.

Hello, welcome to the site. Something to add: Living in dorm rooms when I was in college required moving quite often. End of semester cleanings, room changes/upgrades, summer break. College life for me also encompassed a lot of time away from the dorm for trips, parties, adventures, and...

Welcome to the site! I have very recently gone through the exact same line of questioning with myself. I ended up deciding on the 28 Gallon Nano Cube LED. My reasoning was this: The newer Nanocubes have upgraded lighting systems already, Biocube as well. There is the HQI Units, the LED (two...

Very cool. That's a big ole tank for sure. I will enjoy watching this progress.

Thanks Cool. I will stay away from water changes at this time. I am trying to thoroghly build the bacteria population. I would like to give the tank ample opportunity to balance itself naturally. If I can't get the numbers in check after 4 weeks I will do a water change (as it is my plan to do...

72 hours in. Did another set of tests today. I'm sure it is almost a waste, but I felt like doing something with the tank today. There were actually pretty substantial changes, however. I only tested the nitrogen process though. Ammonia: 1.0 (Thought that was rather drastic) Nitrite: 0 - .25...

Welcome to the site from the midlands!

Looks totally different in that photo. How did it end up on the ground? Is it one tat eats the web it made the evening before, and then moves to a different location?? Beautiful creature. And wonderfully captured, I must say. The photo I posted is of a spider that eats its web and makes a new...

Love the garden spiders, Alex! Have several of them around my yard right now. So fun to sit and watch. They are SO fast when something touches their web. They have it wrapped up and pacified faster than any other spider I have watched.

Thanks for the comments guys. So, first batch of water tests have been done. The tank is about 48 hours old. Ammonia = 2.0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = 0 pH = 7.9 (Sure this number will go up with algae bloom) Salinity = 1.026 (or 1.0255) I have not topped off any RO water yet. Thinking maybe I...

Way cool! Are you going to do that with the other cave entrances eventually?
