Any thoughts on how to deal with something that hides in a small cave? Since I have a FOLR tank I was thinking of maybe picking up a peppermint shrimp in hopes that the pest will get eaten. If that doesn't work, next step would be JOE's Juice to irradicate it. Does anyone else maybe...

I've done some searching online after I found some worm looking thing in my tank. It's hard to identify because it's tucked away in a natural small cave in my LR. It's a dull grey/purple color and has white spots/bands along it. It's length seems to be over 1.5inchs. It looks like an...

Congrats on the new addition Jesse!! Looks like it's going to be a great show piece!! :shock: Would there be any chances of fraggin' it off in the next frag swap? ;-) (just thought I'd ask...... wink wink) Jay

Here's an update: Snails They stopped reproducing, but some of the strans have gone from a white color to a light brown ting. No sure what that is all about. Shrimp Nothing new, they greening stuff is still there. I'm wondering whether or not it's worth setting up a breeding tank or...

what kind of fish and/or invertebrate (Hermits, Shrimps, Snails) do you have in your tank? J

I don't have any fish in the tank as of yet. We're just waiting for the tank to mature a little more b4 adding anything else to it. We do have 2 skunk shrimp, 3 sexy shrimp and a number of hermits in our aquarium. Since the snail art was identified, I've gone ahead a started a new thread...

From a Brothel to a Maternity Ward I thought I'd post a few pics showing everyone whats happenings in our tank. It would seem that our Skunk Shrimp are going to be parents. I could be wrong, but one of the skunk shrimp seem to be caring a few green sacks attached it's abdomen. The pics...

These snails have been BUSY! There are at least 3 other places in my tank that they've gone and done the same thing. I'll keep everyone posted with how thing turn out. I'm not much of a picture taker, but I have been practicing, thanks for commenting Jesse. There was a skunk shrimp in...

I don't think I've seen anything like that b4... but I do think it would be something interesting to see. It would be great if you could get a few pics of the display tank that you mentioned. J

Ouch... I don't think I could ever do anything like that!! It looks cool after it's all healed up.... but I'm sure that person was in pain for a super long time!! I don't know about you guys/gals, but doing something like that to my back would totally destroy the way I sleep, drive and go...

I was a little shocked when I woke up this morning and noticed this crazy looking white stuff on the glass wall of our tank. Now I could be wrong but, I'm guessing there was some snail loving going on in the tank the night b4.... will there be a bunch more on the way? Attached is a pic of...

Thanks Jesse! Those are some really great pics! I think I'm going to go the T5 route for lighting... I'm just trying mature my tank a little more by switching out the lighting - I'm trying to save up a few extra bucks for the purchase. Cheers, J

I currently use the following for my water tests. Mardel 5 In 1 Test Strips As for the Ammonia tests, I just get my LFS to do them since they do it for free. The Ammonia test strips can put a hole in your pocket, but are always nice to have on hand if you LFS is a far drive from home...

I like the Snail idea!!! Thx Skipm, and everyone else for there thoughts :langle Jay

A sponge is already in the bubble trap.... Since my last post, I've stopped the Protein Skimmer. I went to my LFS and talked to them about the problem. Turns out that the water conditioner I picked up has a little something in it called, ALEO VERA (ladies you know what this stuff is - some...

A friend of mine has 3 Damsels and there seems to be no problems between them or with the 2 Skunk Shrimps that share the tank (keeping in mind that his tank is much bigger than 12g). If you do choose to go the route of getting some Damsels, try finding some that are SUPER SMALL. From what...

hmmm.... I'm going to have to run the idea pasted 'the lady' of the house, and see what she thinks. I'll keep you posted. Thx! Jay

Thanks for the tip Jesse!!! I'm going to look into maybe changing up the MJ's b4 summer comes around. I didn't realize the huge differance in wattage :roll: Thx Again, J :D

We have a Coralife Super Skimmer (Needle Wheel), but I seem to keep getting unusually large amounts of small bubbles floating around in the tank. Is there a MOD that someone can suggest that will reduce the bubble output from our Coralife Super Skimmer? The bubble reducer it came with really...

My LFS suggested I get a 'Diamond Watchman Goby'.... and maybe a few nassarius snails. I saw the DW Goby in action, and it looked like they moved things around like mad (they even burrow under through the sand)! My LFS commented that the YWG is if-E-, some times you get some that move...
