I have been using Tropic Marin, and it has served me well! On the box it says, "contains all 70 trace elements found in natural seawater, in the...
I just got it so it is a new bulb, 10K 400w MH. yeah actinics would really be nice and bring out the 'green' tint of the anemone, but i will have to...
thanks for the nice comments! Here is a pic of my Long Tentacle Anemone sleeping.... he sure bunched up and got all nice and cozy last night, I...
O yes, ^^ I agree, the white or clear ones are most certainly aiptasia. they can be brown with some other colors too, but they are never a...
Well, here is a similar pic of an aiptasia anemone. Peppermint shrimp seem to be very hit-and-miss so as long the ID comes up as definitely aiptasia...
Keep us updated! I shot a few aiptasia (w/ vinegar) and it seems the bigger they are, the easier they die, some smaller ones ended up comming back....
Awesome clowns! I have a pair just like yours (Ocellaris) and they are great fun to watch. The female has already touched my anemone (lta) and it's...
Have a good one!
I think when the test results come back, and you get the right 'shade' or '# of drops' then you get that wonderful "... ahhhhhhh" feeling..;)
The LFS, if you're lucky to be close enough, should have all the necessary testing equipment for you! & for free to boot! We all have a salinity...
Thanks for hoping aboard 3Reef! There is much hassle with a giant tank, but greater rewards. '68 Z28 Camaro was quite a trade! Hopefully you still...

I found the science related posts very interesting. It is amazing how many different fields tie into the SW aquarium hobby.. evolution, chemistry,...
You could always try the new setup and see how it works. My extremely bright light didn't do too much damage before everything became acclimated......
As stated in the first post: "..nitrate 20ppm." I hope we all helped to allievate your problem, BluePhish! Reef_guru originally cited the...
Nope, I read somewhere that this little guy molts because he is a scarlet 'red-reef' hermit. Here is an excerpt, "hermit crabs also have a tough...
Then how come I bought 3 hermits, and found 2 "molts" or "bodies" just like that last pic... yet still have 3 living hermits!? Can two hermits hide...
Well, the scarlet hermit is actually alive. Seems he was hiding in a cave all this time. I just can't believe their molt is about the same color...
