Hi guys, I just reformatted my computer, so when i got onto yahoo and did a search, a popup came up and said do i want to have a function whereby whatever i type in my searchbar now appears whenever i double click the searchbar. I accidentally clicked yes. Also, if, for example, i did a...

Hi guys, i've decided on spending lotsa money on a reef book. I've got lots back home but theyre kinda big so i couldnt bring them to college. Any suggestions on what is the ultimate reef keeping book? I'm only getting one so it needs to be comprehensive. I also might get the FIELD GUIDE TO...

haha, cant believe i didnt think of that, so embarassing. Incysor, did you say some people have it? do the fish really use it often? in regular size tanks they might cos the distance upwards to swim isnt so great.

Hi there, sorry for your loss, its always hard losing something big, last year, my family lost two cars to hijackers, i know your pain.

Hi people was looking at this yesterday and i just realised something: if the tanks are at eye level, and the corridors are up on the ceiling, it cant possibly be true. Remember in school when they said that liquids would always be at the same level in a container? If the highway was...

Hi, I've seen them host everything: elegance corals (they're still hardy in this part of the world), any euphyllia, sacrophytons, xenias, GSP, shrooms, zoos, night time bubble, a sea apple; really everything. Even non living things like peoples magnets and pumps. If i were you i'd try a...

Hi Thanks incysor, will take into account your advice on the CBS. I used to have one in a 10gallon; he was okay with everyone, sat dead centre in the tank; his antennae flailing about. Just wondering, do blue coral banded shrimp grow smaller than the regular ones? On live aquaria, they say...

Hi guys, Am now in malaysia; on holiday from uni. Will try to get shrimp from here and bring them back to canberra in a bottle of water. Will put in some chemi-pure and oxygen generating balls in the bottle. I'm not pating with $$219 for a cleaner shrimp in canberra! All i could procure...

Thats odd iceburg, i've got an aquaclear 200 on my 2.5 with n worries. Flow is adjusted to highest level possible most of the time. Unless, by "AquaClear 20" you meant AC200; in which case it's really embarassing for me ;p

Hi, thanks for the reply The other brittle star in similar shape to the first is doing great, slowly regenerating arms. The LFS gave them to me as an experiment to try. The trachy ate it and spat the remainder out (just a pale brown shell like exoskeleton.

Thanks for the input guys, How long do ya think the shrimp could last anyway? I guess i could do a water change on the flight, if necessary. Djconn, i think the maldives are better; especially for snorkeling. Yeah, i collected them myself. When i went to the maldives, i got a tiny 2"...

Hi guys, I left this morning for uni with both my black half-brittle stars (LFS guy gave them to me to see if they'll regenerate) rolling around on the sand. I had study group tonight so i only got back almost 9. To my disgust, my green Trachy has some black mush in it's mouth and it's...

I think it's cos my tanks are covered in pods. After all, hydras arent photosynthetic; and besides they're now in a darker area hidden by the LR (thats where i cant get at them).

Hi guys, I just wanted to know whether anyone thinks i can transport some shrimp; in a 1.5l coke bottle, for an 8-10hour journey? Of course, i will get oxygen from the LFS etc. I kinda thought that if they can send stuff from indo-pac to the states (at least 14hrs) then i've got a chance...

Hi there, Just some input on keeping yellow cukes alive longterm. The LFS lady kept hers alive for ages, they even spawn regularly in the tank but very few babies survived to 1.5cm size. How does she do it? She just feeds; and feeds; and feeds. She feeds something called JBL Korall Fluid...

I got a baby abalone from my LR. They really eat ALL the cyano and brown algae they can get their radulas on. I highly recommend them to anyone. I would pay $5-8 for one of them on my next tank. And as for your complaint that $6 crabs are rip-offs, scarlets cost $12-18 each here in Canberra...

Hi guys, here are some more pics from my tank. Tank Vol: 2.5g Lighting: 22W PC 14000K Filter: AC 200 Heater: 50W japanese brand LR: 4.5-5lbs Aussie LR Substrate: 3-3.5lbs Aussie Crushed Marble Livestock: 1 plerogyra sinulosa (pinkish), 4 polyps duncanopsammia sp, 1 frag consisting 13...

Hi guys, we have a problem I've started to develop a hydroid explosion. Thanks Skipm for IDing them. The hydroids are barely a millimetre across but they're spreading to form tiny patches; like daisies. I've scraped some off with a stick but i fear they'll just reattatch somewhere else...

Hi, Thanks skipm, it's a bunch of hydroids. HELP, what should i do??? Should i run the algae pad over them and try to kill or at least displace them? Here's a pic i found online: http://www.petsforum.com/personal/trevo ... rians.html It's the pic marked Hydroid. Anyone had them before?

Hi Guys, I found some small beige dots (half mm) with a set or fine hairs around them on my glass this morning. The fine hairs are colourless except for white dots on their tips. The hairs themselves look like arms and sway slightlyin the current. They are similar in orientation to certain...
