  1. Yellow tang with reddish areas

    I've got a year old tang with reddish spots on his sides; he's had these on and off, and I can't find a reason, other than we've not been consistent on the brand of dried seaweed for him. I've read that the reddish areas are something like bruises, where blood is near the skin surface, and it's...
  2. Featherdusters and an anemone question

    Guys, I bought a live rock from a local pet store that had a featherduster colony on it (guy who dug it up for me just charged me the regular $5/lb. for it)... the featherdusters are growing and reproducing like MAD; what I'd like to know is: are they going to be fullsized ones (the kind...
  3. $160 100GPD RO/DI systems F/S on eBay??

    http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1323429083 Has anyone had any experience with these?? It sure sounds like a killer deal, just hook up your water source, and plumb to a large tupperware container for RO/DI water storage! Am I missing something? I thought RO/DI systems...
  4. new turbo snails being lazy?

    Hey guys, I bought a batch of four turbo snails from the LFS; I acclimated them (along with ten hermits) into a small 10G I have at work; as soon as I put them in, they haven't really moved! One of the turbos is very slowly (2" in two days) moving across the sand, but the other three are...
  5. two id's from new rock (pics included)

    Well, I put some LR in my FO tank finally... pretty dull rock, it's been scrubbed TOTALLY clean, and wasn't too live looking if you ask me... BUT, I found two things of interest that hitchhiked with the rock! Here's the first one: it's a white tube, about the diameter of a pencil lead, that has...
  6. berlin method/skimmer/setup question

    Hey guys, I know you guys get tired of these "new setup" questions, but here goes: I'm closing on a house in the next week or two, and I'm immediately going to start purchasing stuff for a 110G/wide display reef tank. I want to try a tank with the berlin method... for filtration I'm...
  7. purchasing a large tank?

    Here's a beginner's question: I'm moving into my first house, and want to step up to a larger sized reef tank, something 100-150 gallons... I went to the LFS, and found that they don't have anything that large in stock certainly, and didn't even carry much in the way of accessories for tanks of...
  8. long-tentacled starfish in my LR, help :)

    Hey guys, I got a 3 lb. chunk of LR for my microreef (2 gallon hex), and whaddya know, there's one of those loooong tentacled starfish inside the LR! I don't know whether to be happy or mad, but I currently have the LR upside-down so that the major hole in it isn't buried in the sand. Is...
  9. local hermit crab, will I drown him?

    All, I may get flamed for this, but ohwell, here goes... I picked up a few of these guys at my local tidepool-type area... some were out of water, some were in water (mostly in)... will these guys drown if I put them in the aquarium?? I picked up some interesting local fish too, but I'll...
  10. locally captured rock will be 'live rock', true or not?

    Hey guys, I'm going tonight to goof off at the local beach/pier/waterbreak (Dauphin Island, a barrier island off the coast of Alabama), and look for hermit crabs, maybe some small fish and I'm *thinking* I can get live rock as well; is any submerged rock considered 'live' as in what I...
  11. captured/random fish tank from nearby shores?

    Hey guys, I have a 29L saltwater tank that I want to put local saltwater fish, mostly young fish that can be caught with a net and some hermit crabs for bottom feeders, as well as some local rock. I'd get these from the local fishing pier/beach at a barrier island 30 minutes away. The...
  12. 3 & 6 gallon Eclipse setups at LFS, thoughts?

    Guys, I went to my LFS today, exploring the saltwater area of the store, and lo/behond, they have three different Eclipse tanks setup with invertabrates and livestock! One example was a Eclipse 6 (12 gallon) with a large chunk of liverock & sandy substrate, some anemone & live coral, a...
