We have actually done this before, hence the fact that we do not reuse sand. Moving a sand bed stirs up all sorts of nastyness, so we restart with a new, live sand bed. By utilizing a large amount of live sand, and plenty of fully cycled live rock, which has been in our tanks for some time (some...
The Tale of the 12g JBJ continues in a new local!
I moved this tank over to the new house on Saturday evening, and I am pleased to report that the transfer went well. The Helfrichi, Magnificent Goby, Candy Pistol and Dracula Goby have been out and about and are looking good. The Yasha Hasa is...
I am pleased to report that the 57g is finally up and running! So it may have taken us 21 months and 22 days since buying it to get it up and running, but whose counting?
So. . . the tale begins!

They are gorgeous. However, from an animal welfare standpoint, i wouldn't do it. It is a healthy star; that is a rarity: don't you want to give it the best chance It can possibly have?
