Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Yes still available. I have the bobbits and crabs in a sandwich bag in the bucket with the live rock and I moved the 4 pistol shrimp to my sump for now so their separate from the worms. I'm not sure how long I can keep the eunice worms like this or if there's a better way to keep them...
I hear the 4 pistol shrimp I found clicking like crazy. I tossed them in my sump. I know there's plenty of stuff that is still in the rocks and I'm excited to see what comes out. I have a spare 20 gallon sitting around that I may grab a stand for tomorrow and set it up to observe. Right now I...
Just got some live rock in today with some less than desirable hitchhikers. Bobbits, pistol shrimp, some odd crabs and a peppermint shrimp. I may keep the peppermint. Free if anybody wants them. I'd hate to flush them as they're pretty cool but they aren't making the cut in my tank. Pickup brick...
Got some hitchhikers so far looks like 2 bobbits, fire worm, some sort of crabs starfish of course and a pistol shrimp. Going to figure out what kind if Crab it is may sump it and for the other stuff it's free if anybody is interested. This is just the paper towels so far haven't even looked at...
Well you guys have a beautiful tank so it was definitely a good decision. Curious though did you guys have any nutrient issues along the way that caused unwanted algaes or dinos? That's the issue I've had with dry rock myself.
That's a beautiful tank! Great work on it. The Marco rock is also very porous so I'm sure that is a huge benefit which worked in your favor. The dry carbisea life rock i went with isn't quality at all. There's no porosity to it at all. It's like solid heavy blocks of shaped concrete so this may...
I'm sure that's the case for most places which is unfortunate. Kp has a great rep for selling rock right out of the water or close to it though. I've had good experiences with them in the past so I have high hopes the rock will be quality like I've gotten before.
If your going to remove the rock maybe try dipping it into some high Salinity water like 1.031. That should make the mantis fly out of the rock. If there's corals on the rocks this may be an issue though.
