They can do that?! My wife and I love scooter blennies, but they tend to disappear in our tank. Now, I see my newest blenny half consumed by a ricordia. They can do that?!

Anyone?

I'm moving in two weeks to Corona............... I plan on taking my reef aquarium with me. Any good shops in the area to get dry goods and stuff? Thanks.

Hmmmm........ well this guy won't leave the Maxima clams alone.... it's nonstop nipping. Ughhh...... I couldn't catch him if I wanted to.

mantles. I've never heard of six lines bother clams. This ever happen to anyone else? I've had another six line in the past, and he never bothered the clams.

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!! So cute. I had two black scooters before and they disappeared overnight.... I think my Debelius' reef lobster ate them. The lobster is gone now..... we'll see how this little guy fares. He's eating mysis and brine shrimp!

Gave him to my buddy who has a bigger tank. He never harmed any of the faster moving fish. But the slow movers were easy prey.

Lost a green chromis and two scooter blennies. I'm pretty sure it was the lobster. He's been getting fat and has a very guilty look about him.

he's a murdering bastard :twisted: He kills fish! Anyways...... when I got him. WHen I got him today.........

8O Your moving xenia must move quicker than mine!!!!! I feel bad for my little snail....... he is moving SOOOOOOOO slow now.

The xenia has found some way to grow on the shell of a cerith snail. Yes, the snail is alive and moving around. So basically I have a moving piece of xenia going around the tank, spreading more of itself to other rocks. Its' growing all over the glass walls of the aquarium too!

No idea. I thought all their DI filters were the same? It's just a plastic container in which you add DI resin.

Yes, it is the handheld TDS meter from Filter Direct. The feed line to my RO/DI unit is hooked through a hose adapter to the laundry room cold water line.

Ok..... having fun with my TDS meter. Tap water = ~570 ppm LFS RO water = 14 ppm Filter Direct RO water = 20 ppm Filter Direct RO/DI water = 0 ppm Arrowhead drinking water = 270 ppm Overall this Filter Direct RO/DI unit is pretty sweet for the price.

I got the RO6100 + DI unit that they sell online. All their units use the same filters I think. You sure you installed it properly and let the first 5 gallons or so run off?
