Any thoughts on hatching brine shrimp right in the tank? It would be a good source of food, for the various critters in there right? Has anyone done this? P.S. I think my tank is ready to be stocked, Can anyone recommend some cheap, hardy species to get started? (cheap in case i bomb...

hahah thanks guys :bigthumup: :hopp:

Roger that. I got me a peanut worm :award: :clapping: :leat

I just found this guy sneaking a peek out of one of the crevices in my rock today when i came home from school. I think it's some type of worm... it reminds me of those old radio antennas that you can extend, because as I was watching it, the bands in its body did not move, meaning the worm was...

Hey everyone. My snails have been doing a great job cleaning my liverock of algae... too good in fact that my sand bed is now littered with little snail poop pellets... lol. I know it's natural... but it's a bit unsightly. Know of any good detritus feeders that would feed on the poo? Sorry...

HAHAH that's hillarious! Are you using red capped blood collection tubes for the top two? lol! What a creative way to use a vacuutainer!

HAHAH HOLY SHMACKS!!! That's hella tight!!

Nice!! My dad has an organic garden back home in Hawaii. I used to hate it when i was little because punishment for being bad meant pulling weeds. haha. But it's awesome. He grows corn, bananas, chili peppers, tomatoes. eggplants, beans, chinese cabbage, all types of vegetables, usually...

I just added my first phase of cleanup workforce by introducing 3 mexican turbo snails to my tank. I can't wait to start livestocking! I'll probably start a journal with tons of pics to keep you all updated :)

I've bought and used deionized (distilled) water before and it's pretty good. I bought like 20 gallons when they were on sale at safeway. The lady looked at me weird haha

lol eddy.

wooo! that nano cube is looking hella sexayy hawt!

Cool thanks guys. It doesn't really bug me. I jsut wasn't sure if it was more harmful than beneficial. I guess i'll leave it. It's a good reminder that i'm taking care of a living system since most of my tank right now is rock, sand and water... and the little baby snails lol. they're cute.

That's hella tight, Sadie! Maybe i might get me a little seahorse to keep my future percula company when my tank is ready for them :)

I'm not sure if you're aware of how dangerous those little guys might be, but you may already be aware that since they feed on zooanthids, it may be possible that they have concentrated levels of pylatoxin... just becareful not to squish them with your bare fingers as you may absorb some of the...

Hey everyone. I'm at three weeks since my set up, 1 week of liverock. Today i noticed this rusty reddish brown growth on my sand where there is little water movement. Is it slime algae? should i siphon it out, or let it be? I read somewhere that part of the cycle involves the growth slime...

Hey fellow reefers, looking to hook up wiht local reefers in the seattle area.

:cool1: I'm happy to announce the birth/ or hatching of a baby snail! lol it's much too young and too small for identification but i have a little critter the size of a tiny pellet grazing around on my glass. I tried to take a picture but it's much too small for my camera to focus on lol...

Sand bed is about 3-5 inches deep. It varies in different places. I think the lowest valleys are around 2.5-3 inches. The peaks are about 5 inches.

Hahah the cable ties are to keep the rocks together so they don't tumble down when i add fish or add my livestock. They will be coered up eventually by coral. as for the chaeto...i think it's just caught in a dead spot haha...it gets enough water movement from the powerheads, but not enough to...
