    Mrs. Twisted's first tank

    Welcome to NJRC Beth! Your rockwork looks great. Are you using a Marineland HOB filter? I used one of those for years with my 20G high.

    Houston, we have a problem. . .

    We bought a new tank for the inhabitants of the 20g today, the marineland 45g cube. It arrives on Tuesday, so that at least is a good thing. I'm thinking the plan will be to set up the new tank on wed evening, removing everything from the 20G but the corals, and treat them in the 20g tank with...

    Houston, we have a problem. . .

    We have red bugs. We found them tonight when I pulled out our pearlberry b/c it had a suspicious looking whiteish tip. . . and with my new glasses, I noticed tiny pinpoints of red on the colony. We're removed it, but I'm very concerned that it may have infected the rest of the tank. Any...

    Unfortunately, we lost one of the fire shrimp last night :( He had gotten banged up over the weekend, his antenae clipped short by someone in our tank and his tail a bit beat up as well. I did not think his injuries were life threatening, and I moved him to the fuge to heal, but to no avail...

    Heaters???

    Mike and I use heaters in our Nanos. We find that our little tanks are very sensitive to changes in temp. We have a halide on the 30g. The heater turns off when the halide starts running, and turns back on after the halide turns off. Without a heater on, we have swings in temp in this tank...

    So I'm just not doing super with my shrimp right now. . .

    No, no starfish in the tank. This guy was a tank crash survivor, he died today in the refugium while I was at work. Its possible that he was just weakened by the tank crash, unfortunately.

    So I'm just not doing super with my shrimp right now. . .

    As many of you know, I had a cleaner inexplicably disappear without a trace in my 20g last month. . . no exoskeleton to be found, no nothing. Never discovered what happened, never found the shrimp, or the carcass. Now, a month later, I have a large, aggressive fire shrimp who is just an absolute...

    When we had the tank crash in February, we ended up with all four our our clowns (two picasos, two black & whites) swimming together for about a week and our guys definitely seemed to miss each other when we spit them back up again. Hope all continues to go well with your group!

    How many college people?

    I am Mike (MNAT's) wife, and I can attest that he definitely behaves like a collage student from time to time . . . looove you. I kept my tank during law school, i think that is pretty similar to keeping in college, send me a pm if you want to chat on low-cost saltwater keeping.

    LFS job oppurtunity

    LOL seriously. I'd never bring home a paycheck. Mike (mnat) and I were there today, and we were told that they are also interested in someone who can work part time, thought I'd pass that on.
