    Joe's Juice or Aiptasia X what works better?

    I put in 2 peppermint shrimp a few weeks ago in my 29G and they have deffinetly gotten rid of some and seem to be slowly getting rid of the rest. I have heard they are hit or miss, but seem to be working for me.

    Corals at low tide vid.

    Even nowing that, I used to rush trying to get them back in the water (when placing or fragging). Half the time I rush and make a mistake. I've learned to slow down, and this just reinforces that you have time.

    im new

    I've had the jbj 28 for about 9 months now. Went to my first meeting last month. The addiction gets stronger and stronger. It is taking everything I have to be content with my 28G. GO SLOW!!!!!! You will make less mistakes, save yourself money and livestock and will be rewarded for your...

    My Cats Home..Finally ..

    Glad your cats back!!! Your neighbor sounds like an A$$. We don't let our cats out either. In fact my wife is a little paranoid about it.

    Peppermint shrimp

    I put two in my 29 Sunday. (Got them from Ocean Gallery for $2.50 each sale). I am trying to get rid of some aptasia (sp?) So far they have done very little as far as movement but I did notice one aptasia near where the shrimp have settled gone today, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    Can anyone Help ID this?

    It looks like John hit the nail on the head. Momof6's thread that you referenced looks identicle. I guess I will be taking it out. Thanks for the help. I also have a few "regular" aptasia also (as I learned from everyones help here). So I guess I have some work to do. It's too bad because the...

    Can anyone Help ID this?

    Researching what people have said, I don't think it is an Aptasia anemone (although i do have a couple of those) and need to get rid of them (didn't even now until this). This looks a little different than most rock/flower anemone pics I saw on the interent. Also, aptasia needs to be eradicated...

    Can anyone Help ID this?

    This came on the rock (as a hitchhiker) you see with the zoos. It has grown to about 3 or 4 times it's size in about 2-3 months. I guess it is some type of polyp maybe? It is green with small red or pink tips. I am still a newbee and haven't been able to identify this. (It almost looks like...

    my star polyps are growing like crazy

    That's a lot of growth. I just put in a 2 inch piece of GSP. I am hoping to fill in the back wall and overflow of my 28g. I do know that they grow fast, but I have heard that they are not too difficult to keep up with (cut out if needed)

    Mandarin Discussion (Nano)

    I tried the glass jar several timis, and he would go in, but just never ate the food. I saw that on Melev's Diner post I think. Like I said, I guess I am lucky because he is getting fatter for sure. My small refugium does seem to have a lot of pods, so maybe it is producing enough to keep him...

    Mandarin Discussion (Nano)

    Mine is a psychedelic. Again, he did eat at Aq Ob, but I have not been able to repeat that it my tank. However he is really fat (looks almost pregnant). Henry, thanks for the info.

    Mandarin Discussion (Nano)

    First off, I am well aware of the controversy of keeping a Mandarin in a Nano. I am only adding my experience for a couple of reasons (First, to start contributing a little more as a new NJREEFERS member, and Second to humbly try and get better at reefing in general) The Basics: I have a JBJ...
