Wow this is getting really ridiculous FAST! I must have missed your question . .. I think I will take my business elsewhere . . . . See you at the sanctuary . . . .

I appreciate very much all the advice you have ever given me. But 'contrary' is the wrong word. The correct word is 'irrelevant'. Your advice was 'irrelevant' to the the questions I asked. I don't mind extra advice when accompanied by a useful answer, but just posting irrelevant...

No, no corals, I don't have the lighting.

Let's forget I EVER mentioned seahorses! I have TWO very good personal contacts helping me with my set-up there. Here are my questions: Can I safely put a chocolate chip starfish in this tank or not? And what SPECIES of sea urchin might work?

I have a tank divider, which can be adjusted so I can get the proper food concentration. On the other side of the divider are breeding mollies which can provide a supplement food source to frozen mysid and live brine. So any help with: A sea urchin or other invert species that might survive...

I'm cycling a 150 gallon tank. Mid-september I plan to drive to Maryland ( www.dracomarine.org ) from where I live in NJ and pick-up a pair of breeding H. erectus (Seahorses), they are, among other places, native to the NJ shores! I am getting many of my ideas from this site: NJ Scuba Diver...

There's a purple cactus shaped thing growing in my Star Polyp- it even grew antennae one night! What is it?

I read in a Barron's Seahorse book Black mollies can live in salt water and their fry can be used as Seahorse food? If that is true, can I use them to cycle a new tank too? Still working on my 150 gallon tank. I wanted to try my hand at breeding Mandarin fish, but I don't have the $$ for a...

OOOO you make me laugh. My 3yo son has already drug a stool over to see if the water was warm. I don't want to think where he was going with that info . . ... .

It would be close to two joists, and I placed it far enough from the wall that I can work back there comfortably, just slightly more than minimal water travel . . .

Joists are parallel, and we discussed adding supports . . maybe I'm trying to figure out how soon I have to do it! My husband is not the handy one in the household and I have no experience with such things . . .

I'm filling my tank now. It's 150 gallons with a 30 gallon refugium and 30 gallon sump. That's a cool 210. We did a bit of analysis, and my husband (the engineer, he he he) says it's okay. However, when the kids run by it, I see too much motion in the water . . . . . I wouldn't call it...

I can't keep caulerpa in my main tank, I guessed the water flow was too high. It grows just fine in my hospital tank were you can't even tell the water moves. . .

I just got my shipment. I knew something what wrong when my cousin picked-up the box off my porch and said, what did you order-ROCKS? I didn't expect the stuff in the photo to weight so much. And carving this cell-pore, though it could be done, I will NOT be attempting. What it does look...

I was reading up on seahorses and was shock to find that people breeding seahorses are using tap water! (Nice article & great plumping descriptions) www.seahorse.org/library/articles/scaleerectus.pdf I know I have copper in my water (blue stains under faucet in tub) I'm not ready to chance...
