Well, Looks like entry number 3 and 10 never showed any wrong doing for what they did. I would've felt better had they made a public anouncement on apologizing for their lack of vision on this contest. I hope they learned a painful but valueable lesson that dishonesty will almost always...

Nice tank, How long did it take for your blood shrimp to start comming out for pictures? Mike

Skipm is right, I have a school of 8 chromis and they school together and are more bold than when I just had three. They will venture more parts of the tank, together as a group and feed aggresively with each other. Sadie, how about a pair of firefish? Mike G

I concur with Skipm.... Mike G

Sadie, Chromis like to be in schools and they do poorly alone. I have found that alone they tend to get disorientated in a tank and really become skitish bouncing from side to side with any sudden movements. This being the case they probably bounced right into the anenomes tentacles...

The one to book mark is Atalantis aquarium in Fremont Ca... They have really nice SPS corals.... Mike G

I've finally convinced my little bro, Dragon79 and his girlfriend NanoAngel to come up to SF bay area to spend christmas... I'm so excited he finally gets to see my LFS I'm so tired of hearing Tongs this and Tongs that... Hopefully we will have some time to hit up Steinhart Aquarium in...

She died of natural causes, many invertabrates die after laying clutches of eggs. The female octupus and squid have short life spans after propogation. I really suspect yours died of age, I had large female die with clutches of eggs and I had her for about 2 years and when I first got her...

Sadie, They do appear very blue on the picture and I know that in person they are not as blue. With many digital cameras there is a simple setting in manual mode that would allow you to access the amount of light from the picture to be taken. It's called white balance simply set that...

Wow Skipm, You have a mini observatory of aquatic life in your house... The most I had at one given time was two 12 gallon cubes and my pico.... Now I just have my 72 gallon bowfront and a pico my brother gave me that I've started.... Mike G

It sounds ironic that just one shrimp would die if water parameters are bad. Sounds like she molted but then again you mentioned that they were full sized shrimp and very probable that one died of age... Hopefully she just molted.... Mike G

Hey reefers, Just thought I'd start a x-mas thread and share a couple of pics of my wife, Paris and I. Happy holidays... The Guerrero's

You got a great toy for x-mas and it's looking awesome, I love your aquascaping the caves are mysterious they set your tone. Good job, and great choice on the size tank... Mike G

Sadie, I'm a digital freak, so I would prefer the digi-lab. At the time I was in the market for salinity tester, the refractometer was only available. So I puchased the highest model they had, which came with a built in light. It will read gravity and PPT but will not take temperature...

Edgray, If your clowns are at danger, I advise you to have your LFS hold your two clowns until your tank matures or is stable. Playing with PH up/down is very dangerous and can wipe out your whole tank if you don't do it with care. Be sure to follow the instructions down to the wire. I...

Acclimation is important for fish since a trip home from the LFS can bring down the PH. A fish jumping from low PH to higher PH in your tank can and will cause stress and if that's not bad enough, the temp difference can cave in your fish to certain doom. Always acclimate your fish slowly or...

Sea Dawg, You might want to check out the flea market on this forum, I believe one of our members, Sadie is selling two heaters. Why don't you check out her post and save some money? Mike G

I would go with aquarium systems brand, they are very accurate and great for beginner to intermediate reefer. Once you get the testing done, you really don't use them again unless you re-do your tank or get some ammonia spike and need to check water parameters. There should be a thread on...

Sadie, Maroon clowns are so cute when they are tiny but I found out the hard way that they will outgrow a nano too quickly. Two juvenile percs if you get them really small will take forever to grow, at least mine did. Remember that I had to remove my two perculas when I introduced...

Skipm, Looks like you will need to ask Dragon on this one, as I'm not technical inclined to move you in the right direction; say Dragon can you help us out? Mike
