If anyone is interested Thanks

I am in the middle of setting up a new tank and am using a DSB. I just went out and bought some bule leg and red leg hermits and a brittle star to stir up the sand a little. The hermits seem to be eating the organisms in the sand is this a bad thing, are they eating the organisms? Brad

I did read the FAQ a couple of months ago. However, in my effort to take my time, I am starting to forget some things. I think I might be going to slow... I took a month to set, level and fill my tank lol! Anyway, to the point.

im not trying to sterlize my tank. But is there any method for cleaning sand not that it even looks dirty but after a few years should anything be done. I want to add more sand and I was wondering if i should do anything first. not ending in a "You Should Have Done This First" after the event...

I Had some green blobs attached to my filter which I took for jelly fish. When I took them off the fiter and put them in a bowl, I could see they were not jelly fish but small tiny anemones. I put them in my tank attached them to a piece or small rock, and have watched them grow some are as big...

I just put in clownfish and read a book on them and it said damselfish were a sub species of clowns. Does this mean the will produce females and males in the same manner as clown fish? I have two dominoes, two striped, and two yellow tailed blues in my tank. If they do acquire the sex in the same...

I obtained a lime green anenmome approximately 15 months ago http://www.reefaquariumguide.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=1138&password=&sort=1&thecat=500 which has lived in my 150 gallon reef. It has however definitely darkened to a deeper green color and lost a good deal of its fluorescence...

I have a 7" dragon wrasse that is tearing my tank apart. I don't want to flush it down the toilet like the last *bad* fish because of it's size, but if someone doesn't volunteer to take it, I probably will put him in a zip lock in the trashcan. I am in Lincoln, Nebraska. Post if interested in...

Camelback shrimp also known as dancing shrimp are not good for reeftanks. To catch them the first suggestion I would give you is to try a glass leaned up against a rock with food in the bottom of it. The shrimp should be able to get into the glass but unable to get out. Kim

Say any of you ever order from Aquaticreefs? I had a ballast go bad and ordered a replacement on July 31st. I still have not received it and they are not answering the phone or returning my calls. http://www.aquaticreefs.com/index1.html Later... JR

Does anyone know where I can buy moisture-proof end-caps for in line PC bulbs? I've had to replace two sets in the last 8 months. Thanks

DS Although I have seen very view bulbs installed front to back, front to back would have less "wash out" through the front of the glass, because of the way the light emanates from its point source. The spread would be less lengthwise, front to back, but more focused -- Boomer Want to talk...

Mine didn't even get caught in the intake. It was actually on the back glass very close to the intake. I beleive the mere suction of the intake freaked it out and it released its guts. When I took the cuke out of the tank it was still alive. It is in a quarantine tank, the day after i woke up it...

This would appear to be expulsion of excess zooxanthellae. Its harmless and not related to reproduction. -- Gerry Tan Oceanlink Aquariums http://www.oceanlink.com.au "Soup" wrote in message
