[IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Unfortunately the 46 is a tad dirty from being left to it's own devices over Thanksgiving. Oh well. It will have a new...
More progress to report! We went off to the good ole hardware store and bought the plumbing parts, some nick nacks, and some vinyl tubing. We have...
Wow, we've had serpent stars and brittle stars in our tank for years and never, ever had a problem with them. They will scavenge when something...
Let's just say that I am her glorified aquarium slave. Who isn't allowed to move out until the new aquarium is finished. Actually, come to...
And I thought this picture was done haunting me...
Ah, the nostalgia of pineapple sponges. We used to have them all over creation. As our tank aged and became more established, they went away. They...
Two things I've noticed from this thread (even though I'm late to the discussion) A) You really should get your own test kits and run it yourself....
One thing you need to remember about mantis is that if the rocks are small enough, they will reaquascape for you. So I would put the coral on...
As for Triplemom and her back wall of non-coralline, she's pretty OCD about it. The urchin and snails sure help, but her trick is to also prevent it...
If you want it gone and get the opportunity, sure, take it out while you can. But if it doesn't bother you, it won't be a problem. And as maxter...
The amazing thing is those hydrangeas are still growing...they were both massive before she had her way with them, and she turned them into little...

The first set of pictures definitely looks bristlewormy to me. Fire worms are actually a type of bristleworm. Fire worms just have hollow bristles...
Just FYI, glass tanks don't matter with smaller mantis. The only mantis shrimp large enough to actually damage glass is Peacock mantis or larger,...
Any updates on this? The bottle trap *may* work, but as others have said, mantis are freaky smart. I've kept three in species tanks in the past,...
We essentially used Windex and elbow grease. It got everything off eventually. For nasty areas, I did see that razor blades can scrape it off...
Call me dumb, but you can trim the shims after installing them, correct? I'd rather not have those sticking out under the bottom of the tank.
Perfect, sounds great to me :) Most tack strips are just one to two inches wide, correct? Perhaps even smaller?
We will be placing a new 90 gallon tank on carpet (where our existing 46 is). Because this tank is essentially double in size and weight, I'm...
I guess your slave child got home, because here's the stand in front of our old tank. Please ignore the mess as we prepare for this adventure, it's...
