LOL... It happens. My kids were in school before the "home computer" revolution. :) How many remember when 8-bit CPUs hit the record of 1MHz with a...
Same, here. Then I upgraded to a Commodore C=64 in '84.
Fatally. However, mine developed a habit of keeping their distance. :)
+1 Personally, I've had a condy, red bubble-tip, and flower nems together in a 29H with no problems, although it's not a mix many would recommend....
Are you saying that it refuses food, or have you not tried feeding because of it's behavior? It's not uncommon for nems to become skiddish after...
Wrasses, along with a lot of other fish, are extremely shy when first introduced into a new tank. I wouldn't worry at all as long as you do see him...
+1 Also, is it wild-caught or tank-raised? Tank-raised Mandarins will generally accept frozen foods more readily, but it's not impossible for the...
+1. I do 10% weekly. However, we could use a few more specifics-- what kind and how much livestock do you have? Do you use RO/DI water? What type...
I totally agree!! One can buy dry rock and pods to seed their tank or fuge if they need them for a lot less than LR with the benefit of not acquiring...
What was out of whack? Temp? SG? PH? Ammonia? Nitrates? How far out was it? Did the water change correct it? While a reduction in nutrients is good,...
Good luck! +1 on the pics. :)
I do, but that's just me. I have issues with 80+ degrees w/high humidity while I'm trying to relax at my PC with a cold beer. :D My room stays at 72...
Yes, dry rock is base rock. It's the same thing as LR except it's dead and dried. It will only take a couple weeks for it to become "cured" or seeded...
Hmmm... I could be wrong, but I don't understand why they would turn white unless the crab was no longer in the shell. IME, when a crustacean molts,...
They should be ok with each other if you provide a small variety of extra shells. I've kept Scarlet and Electric Blue Hermits together in a 29H with...
You could also use much cheaper dry base rock. It will "cure" in your tank without cycling as there is nothing live in it to potentially die off.
I noticed mine hide in the rockwork either way, so I doubt it makes any difference at all to them.
Being similar in adult size and aggression, they should be fine. As a precaution, I would recommend buying juvies and adding them at the same time.
+1 Lots of good answers, here. The only other thing I would suggest is a Nassarius snail to stir and clean your sand. That, too, will help reduce...
ARGH!! Didn't look up the specific pump. Just assumed it was like the Maxi-Jets I've used that did have an intake "nose" for the snap-on screen and...
