Malulu, they are simple to hatch, if you just add the eggs to salt water such as you throw out for water changes they will hatch. But then it is a little of a pain to seperate the egg shells. They make devices that do this and they are cheap. Luckily for us the shrimp are attracted to light. So...

It's been a little over a month since I installed this thing and I love it. My tank has 3 bluestrip pipefish, and two mandarins along with some small clown gobies and shrimp. They all hang around this thing for a few hours that it has shrimp in it. In this tank I really don't have to...

I just added another pair of bluestripes. Here is the old, larger female with a new small male. There is also another small female.

He had a good life and it ended very well. I hope I go as good as that. :)

He died at 7:00pm tonight. I just watched him take his last breath. Then I autopsed his gills to see if I could find any paracites because that is the best way to tell if you have any in your tank. He had the gills of a teenager, who never smoke. His gills were in perfect shape and I could not...

I thought I would document the life of one of my favorite fish. This gobi has been with me for I think about 12 years. When I got him he looked like the first picture. Yellow and skinny. As he grew a little I bought another one and they became inseperable. After a few months, they turned...

I just looked at the tank (behind me) and this decorator crab is swimming at the surface. No he is not dead. How cool is that? He can do that because he covered himself with bubble algae, which is filled with air. I wonder if he knows thats why he is floating. I had to push him down to grab on...

I don't know what to do with my tank now. There is nothing wrong, no corals fell down, no fish bullying other fish, everything eating well, the corals are growing, no flatworms, ringworms, cyano, hair algae, ich, flukes, dropsy, pop eye, no out of date lights, don't feel like changing water...

OMG are they Crazy? UGF!, do they want you to keep your tank forever? What is wrong with those people. Using a UG filter in a reef is absolutely Absurd. The nerve of them. Could Not possably work. :eek:

I'm still on a quest to take a decent video but I am not there yet. Here I tried with the pumps off. I am going to keep trying. These new camera's have so many settings on them that it could take a half an hour just to set the thing the way you want it. But they still come out kind of lousy...

Oh yeah. I got it coming out of my ears. Don't forget, I also patented that one and I just about broke even.

The ones that I made with the window screen worked great. I sold over 6,000 of them so I know they work :o

With the correct size mesh, the shrimp try to get through but get stuck so the fish just suck them through the net. Almost no shrimp get lost because they can't get out on their own and the seahorses could eat all day.

Looks cool. now you just need to make one with smaller holes. The one I built years ago for adult brine shrimp used plastic window screen and that worked so well I got a patent. But the patent is expired now and I don't make them any more. Window screen is the way to go with adult brine.

I think I have too many animals in my tank now and I need to stop adding things. I also realize that In all these pages I don't think I ever mentioned what is in the tank. I am going to try to list the animals but not the corals because I can't remember names to save my life. I now have a...

Copy away TanksNStuff, You are assuming that I pay attention to what I write or read. I am sure we both have pods coming out the gazoo. I just built the thing because I like designing and building things. If I had a moose I would build a feeder for him. What do mooses eat anyway? If I run...

Actually I made something like that for my moorish Idol. It was a small dish that sat on the bottom with a rigid tube going to the surface with a funnel on top just like this thing only the tube was larger. Above that was an automatic feeder that would deposit some pellets in the funnel a few...

Fisher, you just have to live long enough, the rest is easy.;)

I got her much skinnier and she was doing fine but I just had an idea to build this thing so there it is. I also have a large fat male who I got skinny like that as a baby. My tank is also full of pods. If it doesn't have pods by now, it never will. I also have a bluestripe pipefish that eats...

I took a short video of the thing working.
