  1. Inject with kalkwasser.
  2. They don't attack fish..unless the fish is dying. Even small gobies are safe with them.
  3. mushroom gurus help leh..my mushrooms look so crappy now...
  4. As long as it can't fit into the lionfish mouth.
  5. Too bad don't have any stands carved out from solid rock. Or diamond stand...since diamond is the hardest element...but also one of the most expensive...
  6. Looks like a thunder crab? Whatever it is...it is a dangerous fellow to your fish..unless your fish are big enough to escape its clutches or big enough to eat the crab. Kill it asap.
  7. You exhale onto damp blue litmus paper the paper will turn pink also wat.
  8. 2 inch would still be a male. You should try pairing up by getting another maroon about 1/4 to 1/5th the size of ur bigger maroon. Don't just introduce them like that. Keep the small male in a clear container in the tank and let the bigger one get used to it for a few days. Then let the male out and hope for the best. If fighting still occurs then isolate the male from the bigger fish for a few more days and hope for the best.
  9. I have just gotten my sump today...2 ft X 1.5ft X 1ft. I am putting it below my 4 footer on my metal stand. Just wondering..can the lower rack actually support the weight of the sump tank? I think I am paranoid or something but the lower rack seems to be welded to the 4 main supports only. I'm not putting the sump in the middle but towards one end of the rack. Will this uneven distribution of weight have any adverse effects? Someone pls help ease my paranoia..
  10. My mushies used to open up nicely under my old NEC normal white FL tubes..but now under 162 watts of T5..they seem to shrink...are they getting used to the lights? Been about 2 weeks or so since my T5s have been up and they are still not opening to their full glory. Could they have been burnt by the increase in brightness? Tried moving them to the sandbed..but no difference..my zoanthids like the lights though.
  11. Won't diatoms grow on glass beads more easily since they are made up of SiO2?
  12. Some pistol shrimp do indeed consume fish and other crustaceans by attacking them with the sound waves they produce. Saw it on a documentary once...think it is 'Weird Nature' on animal planet. Saw a pistol shrimp knock a cleaner shrimp unconcious and pull it into its burrow to be consumed. It was the same size as the cs somemore. I think whether or not a pistol shrimp will prey on your fish or inverts depends on the species and how hungry they are. I've got a thumb sized sri lankan tiger pistol..has never attacked my pipefish or gobies yet..not even my anemone shrimps. I guess you will have to find out what species of pistol shrimp you have before you can conclude whether they are a threat or not.
  13. 3 firegobies? You can try..if you succeed you can tell me. I have tried. Ended up with 1 only. The sole survivor. MURDERER! As for mixing different species of gobies..just make sure each goby gets their own deserved space.
  14. .......Probably some gimmick if you ask me...toxins don't come out from your feet. They are excreted via your kidneys as pee. As for the water discolouration..probably some cheapo chemical rxn.
  15. Wow...so many clams...make me hungry already..
  16. Try a goby. Rather disease resistant. Very hardy too. Best of all..non-aggressive.
  17. Yea..somemore still got lots of zoanthids and other corals..hehe..my tank is a high organic soup. yummy...
  18. Vaccinations for flu are really useless IMO....Influenza got 3 types..A,B and C. And they consistently change their surface antigen makeup (Haemagluttinin and Neuraminidase) by antigenic drift and antigenic shift. Which explains why total immunity is not conferred to Influenza although one has been previously infected. Best way out is to maintain a healthy immune system.
  19. Missed out my Jann's pipefish and my other crustaceans..tink oso got 3 boxing crabs..1 bigbig blue spined lobster..and 2 ###### shrimp.. My things all small small one..hehe..
  20. My tank is a goby tank. Got yellow watchman, fire goby, purple decora goby, black striped high fin goby, yellow coral goby. Yellow watchman got a sri lankan tiger pistol shrimp..high fin goby got a red and yellow banded pistol shrimp. teamates include one black-headed jawfish..and 2 sri lankan dragonets and bigbig YT.
  21. Hey..don't remove me from your tank...
  22. Get another eheim..preferably one with higher output. I support Eheim all the way.
  23. Yea...$8 should be the price man..considered they are local corals afterall.
  24. I would replace ur actinic with another white. Actinics are useless for clams...only making them look delicious..but that's about it...Actinics should be viewed as supplementary lamps...not primary lighting.
