I know you are asking how to move it without removing the rock, but if it is possible to remove the rock, I would do so. In my experience, the best way is to (temporarily) remove the rock- put the anem and the rock into a bucket, or a small tank with water, and the anem will not like the lack...

I second Darren and Bob. ATL raspberry lemonade is another favorite of mine.

This little guy is our new F3 savanna. He just arrived last night, and we are still considering names so send your suggestions over!

Take it slow with the snails. Sift the sand, remove everything you see, feed, remove everything you see, and wait. Repeate. When you think you are done, put the sand in a rubbermade with some water (1" over sand). You will find more snails about an hour or so later in my experience. Make sure...

Very cool, congrats!

I would do it fast. A sand bed should not stink. If it does, you have a big problem. The only time I have had a sand bed stink, it had gone anaerobic and the tank was crashing.

Thanks Sunny! I will put my head together with mike and send you a pm.

The orange scoly arrived about 4-6 weeks ago. It did not ship well, it was pretty beat up the first few weeks with some tissue loss and a worrisome amount of exposed skeleton, but thankfully it is making a nice recovery. I'll see if I can talk mike into taking a better photo for you :)

That is a great pairing, I hope it finds a good home!

Watch it.

Olivier, the 12g jbj is the nano in our bedroom. It has been our nightlight since mike bought it in November 2008, at which point we were newly engaged :)

I can only imagine what that fish thinks when the kitten puts his paws on the glass. . .

If there is an opened unidentified bottle of water lying around, I use that. I have used tap water as well, with no ill effects so far. I don't tend to use ro/di unless mike is making it right at the moment I need it to be honest.

I waited three weeks before the first harvest. The first week the water was clear, by the second week it was getting green, and by the third week it was green and cloudy. I was ready to admit failure until I looked at it closely and realized that the containers were loaded with pods of...

Phil, I had the same thought yesterday at AO. . . I just brought one of these guys home too.

Lovely star. I had one with very similar markings for years, good luck with him.

I can't speak to the eel, but I can tell you my blue spot Toby was fine with my shrimp, snails, and hermits (from 1997 to 2000- a long time ago I will admit)

You should be fine IMHO. I have kept the two together in the past. You were smart not to name the store with the star, if you had I might be in my car on the way now;)

Glad to hear all went well yesterday Darren, the pictures look fantastic.

As you begin removing the sand bed, you are stirring it up, essentially dumping nutrients trapped in the sand bed into the water colum. If you do 5g weekly water changes, and stirr up your sand bed, in my honest opinion you are likely to crash your tank. If you are going to remove the sand...
