From my experiences and discussions with other reefers this is not the case. If this was the case everyone who has aptasia and majanos would house peps. Again, it is hit or miss. I dont want it to come out as if I hate them. Give them a shot and see if they work for you. It doesnt hurt...

Hit or miss is exactly it. The thing I forgot to mention about peps is that they can become destructive. I had a trio of them that picked at all of my corals. Especially my zoas and brain. They literally picked a dime size hole in one of my brains before I realized what they were doing. It...

From what I have recently heard the best way to get the pep shrimp to clean out your anemones is to starve them in a separate tank and then put the pieces of LR that have the pests in their tank, one piece at a time. If they have means of getting other foods (such as when you feed your tank or...

Make sure to check for monti eating nudi's. Are any of your other monti's showing signs of stress?

With their appetite you better tattoo your name or a serial number on it. Because once you start leasing him out, the chances are you will not see him again.

If you dont isolate them the chances are slim that they will survive. Especially if you have other fish and such in the tank. If you really want to raise the fry make sure you prepare yourself as much as possible because it takes a big commitment to do so (ex: separate tank, growing food...

Damn kid! That tank is full to capacity. Even the sand bed is full. Its cool that your GF and you share the interest in the hobby. My wife is the same except she doesnt have her own tank. If she did I would be completely broke by now.

I wish I had known the thousands of $$$ reefkeeping was going to cost me. Especially when I started with an economical 55gl FOWLR tank that used an UG Filter, Whisper wet/dry, crushed coral and a seaclone skimmer. Oh, and plastic plants made by Tetra and very cool reef background paper.:fishhit:

If you have a dremel use one of the polishing pieces to really clean the pieces up. Give them a quick wipe with a bit of 8 in 1 oil and that should keep the corrosion away for a while.

I hope those fish were not molested or taken advantage of while they were missing.:scratchch

Both tanks look more like frag tanks than anything else. Try combining some of your frags onto larger pieces of rock or glueing them onto your rock work. Is that a mag drive pump inside of your tank?

Do not buy damsels to cycle your tank. You spend a long time aquascaping, everything looks a nice as you can make it, you buy a few damsels and put them through hell during the cycle. Well, guess what? Those damsels are going to get their revenge once you start putting in other fish into your...

Unfortunately, city schools have moved far away from science over the last decade and in turn labs, animals and such have gone on the wayside. On the positive side though, science is coming back into focus. Im glad to see you found a place to donate the equipment.

My 2 cents: Dont spray the back glass of the tank. Instead work on arranging the rockwork like the RC thread. The foam background looks unnatural and does not provide depth to a tank. If you decide to spray the back glass listen to SIReefer and practice first. From what I have heard from...

What about the power cord? I was shopping around for an LCD last week and every store I went to tried to sell me a huge power cord for $50+. The fact that every store tried to do the same thing made me think that I did not really need what they were trying to sell. Their reasoning was that...

I got the first one but the second doesnt seem that different.

I bought a Cannon 720IS on Black Friday for $180 after discount and a coupon. Its an 8 MP and takes fabulous pics. It has automatic and manual settings. Im still trying to figure out half of its features. It was recommended by someone on MR and I am glad I bought it.

I had a RES with a crayfish. They got along very well.

Dammit. I cant see it. Im at work and the page is blocked. Any suggestions?

The males have very, very long nails (used to court the female and hold on to her during mating) and a thick, long tail. The female has the opposite.
