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.
As paul mentioned - the box trick is a good idea but you really don't know what will happen until the fish are interacting. For me it did not work.
I have a pair of breeding false percula (i think, they may be just a cross between true percs and false) clowns and thought maybe if I added...
There is nothing wrong with a high bioload tank. It just means more frequent water changes or an oversized skimmer to power it. Your trigger looks nice and fat - perhaps cut back on the amount of food that is being fed. In this hobby - most people have disaster because of over-feeding, you...
hey darren - that tank the fish is in appears to be either a frag tank or a bare bottom display. Is that ok to do with a wrasse? i thought they wanted a sandbed to sleep in? I think merv tried that once by putting small buckets of tupperware sand (since he wanted bare bottom, but also wrasses).
george - saw this on yahoo answers - and thought it will help now that you have decided on the canon t2i - to figure out lenses etc:
"No matter what you want to do, I'd suggest getting the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II. This lens runs around $120, and is the best quality lens you can buy. It is fantastic...
mine are laying again (still) - but rather than the back wall, they are laying on the back of some LR. I blame the new male - he doesn't realize how nice and smooth the back of the tank is. anyways the problem is that when they lay their eggs now I have no sight of them and no idea when they...
Oh I hear ya totally - they should be on the bottom tumbling. I was just thinking initially I wouldn't mind if they weren't down there. Have you seen the octopus design - it's kinda weird with the tube all the way down to the bottom and connected to the top - which means everytime i have to top...
floating actually may not be terrible for me since the reactor is designed with a long rod that goes to the bottom. I was thinking about it - if I add pellets to the bottom that rod will crush them and then get siphoned up. If they float then no worries. Rinsing them to get any crud off...
I see you mentioned the kalk reactor on standby...make sure you set up the kalk reactor correctly. Two people in the club already lost everything to a massive kalk overdose. I've never had a problem (knock on wood) but just saying. For me personally I don't dose anything except kalk/mag and...
Oops did i miss a step - should i go soak my pellets in rodi now? I was just going to put the saltwater in teh reactor and then dump the pellets in. Is that a no-no?
3/4" tubing arriving today via fedex commerical ground thanks Thatpetplace. I ordered it two days ago along with some other stuff for the free shipping special. I should get the reactor going tonight! yay!
