My Latest tank is as seasoned as yours, but I had the same problem going on, Out break of hair algae. I recently broke my band on hermit crabs. I purchased scarlet crabs and left handed crabs and three abalonian (sp) snails. They have been in the tank about a week now and what a difference. They...

If it was vermetid snails, then it should come back. You were more than likely feeding the tank with a food that clouds the water a little. The snails send out the strings to catch food. they are stationary and this is the way they eat. I see it mostly when I feed photoplankton. Tracey

I would suggest checking at a few pet places near you. Even Petco here has 100 to 135 gallon tank on hand. It would be cheaper if you could find one in a store near you. If it isn't possible, then try Cquariums.com, or Petwarehouse.com or just run a search and something should come up. You can...

snowflakes are very nice eels. they are small when compared to other members of their species. Only getting up to 30 inches or so. They are night hunters and normally stay in their cave during the day. They will come out to feed during the day if that is when you feed the tank. You have to make...

Jim with pictures like that you didn't think I would spread them quickly. They were too good to pass up. Hope you don't mind Tracey

I would like to thank everyone who was able to make the meeting yeasterday, We had a very good turn out and I am sorry some of you were not able to make it. I would like to Thank Joe and Dan of ReefSplendor for having us. The food was excellent, the corals as usual were outstanding. One of the...

I would say that you are out of real estate space as for as fish population here. You can only safely house about 5 inches of fish in your tank. the clown has got to be at least an inch and half, and with the two damsels coming in at 1" each now, then you have 3.5" already used up. And you know...

Mandrin Dragonettes, and there is a nudibranch that eats flatworms. I was infested with these guys, they produce more in intense lighting. I was planning on adding a dragonette to my tank anyway, and I know with the flatworms, he won't starve. I have a refugium also. At any rate, the mandrin was...

AnemoneBuff, perfect description, I have these types of snails in my tank, and when I was a newbie, I couldn't figure it out. It took research to find the answer then. Thank god for the internet and people who know what they are talking about. Tracey

I don't think that we will be holding much business as far as the club is concerned. Too many friends, to see and speak with. We have around 50 people attending. Should be a nice gathering. And I for one can't wait to meet all of you. Tracey

Four Days til the fun begins. Tracey

Sorry Greg I forgot to mention that To all that are coming We start at 11:00 AM. Can't wait to meet everyone. It looks to be a great day. Tracey

We meaning some of the club members that are coming from the trenton area, the two owners of the place and myself. Joe and Dan are opening the place at 11:00, We don't really expect everyone to come rushing in at one time. If you are traveling a distance, yet don't want to get up at 6 am get...

Brian, We figured that with the time change and being in the country, Which is very DARK, and most will not know their way around, we would start it a little earlier for people who would like leave when it is still daylight so they can get home safely. You don't have to show up at that time...

Just turned 42 last month Tracey
