Hello all, my friend came to work with a cup of water from her tank. In it she had 5 little creatures that looked like jellyfish. They were about half this size of a pencil eraser. They were pulsing around just like jellyfish. Has anyone ever heard of this and have any idea what types could actually make it into a tank. This population is in her 55 gal tank. She has not added anything to this tank in 6 or 7 months. She estimates there are around 250 swimming in her tank. They appeared one day after she did some cleaning in her tank. Any ideas would be great. And no I don't have a picture.

I have these in my tank also. They grow really fast and can cover rocks in days if its the same stuff. I got mine on a rock from a friends tank who had it growing out of control.

Hello All, My ballast that runs my halide light fried on me last week. When I flipped the switch on there was some popping and smoke. Now I have no halide light. I have been running my actinics until I got some money to replace the ballast. Does anyone know where the best place to get something like this would be?? Some of my corals are not doing good at all without the halide. Any advice would be great, thank you.

Looks like I will be moving soon and am looking to sell this tank. I might have a smaller apartment and there would be no room for a big tank. This pic is a little outdated but you get the idea. There is more rock in the tank now the right side is filled up, and some different fish and some different corals, some the same. Around 80lbs of LR. I recently added a 20gal refugium using an overflow box. I do not want to part out or break down. Buyer will take all corals, fish, and everything else. I am not putting a price on this just in case I don't have to move. Please PM me with offer and if its anywhere close to what I am thinking it is yours. I would like to move it this week if possible.

Alright I got the word. The tank sale will be Aug 24 to 31. If anyone needs tanks 55 or below now is the time. If you talk to your local PETCO this week they can special order any size so it will be there for you when the sale starts. If anyone does need special orders just IM me. You would have to pick up at the Tanasbourne store because that is the location I work at. I have already ordered 4 - 40breeders. One for me and the others for customers.

tanks come from coastal for petco and yes the 40's are always on the sale. i work there. we have not been given any information yet on the $1 per gallon sale. they usually tell us about a month in advance so we can order up. we have the ad set right now through mid august and nothing about this sale yet.

The original tank i had was a 38 that ran for about a year and a half. I then decided to upgrade and to the larger and it has been going now for about 6 months. The fish all love the larger room. Everybody was getting a little big and cramped.

giant starfish, actually 2 of them lighting is 250w 20000k xm halide and actinic pc's 2-36"

Recently upgraded from a 40. This tank has a firefish, purple firefish, dwarf pygmy angel, clarkii clown rescue from petco, 2 cinnamon clowns, 2 regal tangs both rescued while sick from petco, vlamingi tang. Sorry the pics are not better, but I don't have a fancy camera. I will try to get some better pics one of these days with my buddies camera. http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n385/big2424kid/P1010229.jpg http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n385/big2424kid/P1010228.jpg http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n385/big2424kid/P1010224.jpg http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n385/big2424kid/P1010225.jpg

I would love some if you still have any. Just pm me with your address and let me know when you would be home.

Okay, I know people dont like these guys, but I have had one in my tank for over a year and a half and have had no problems. Last night I had just turned the lights off and saw him grabbing and jumping off a rock. I thought to myself "hmmmm, maybe he is about to show me why everybody says dont get one." Then the coolest thing happened. He ripped a bristleworm out of the rock and ate it. I thought only arrow crabs did this. Has anyone ever heard of this before???

Yes they max out at 55. They also only do the standard sizes. Bow fronts are not included or speciality tanks.

On a side note, we have been going through a major assortemnt change at a lot of stores. They are putting a lot of tanks up on clearance pricing. The tanks will not have a clearance label just sale price, but most of these larger tanks are at least half price. I work at Tanasbourne and I know we have a corner tank on clearance we had many more but they are selling fast. I am not sure what other stroes have. I scored a 78half circle by oceanic for a couple of hundred dollars with stand.

I do work at Petco, and they do not tell us in advance. We will get about one month notice to order up. I can let you all know when I know. I do all the ad overides at my store and should know 4-6 weeks in advance.

jay, tried to send you a pm, but it says your mailbox is full until you delete something

Jay, has anyone claimed the green cap frag??

yes, that is fantastic. I wish I had a good camera and had any idea how to take good pics

I have a cinnamon clown who thinks my derasa clam is an anemone. Has anyone had experience with this. About a month ago he started sitting in it. Now he swims and sits in the clam. The clam doesnt seem to mind anymore and doesn't even flinch a little when the clown is around. It truly seems like the clam doesnt care. I am worried long term for the clam.

I caught what i believe to be a harlequin crab (Lissocarcinus laevis) Is this a pest creature or are they ok?? He is currently contained in his own cup, but I dont want to release him if he is a pest. Any info would be great, like what they eat etc. Thank you

Tanasbourne Petco has some due in on wednesday the 26th or thursday the 27th
