squidster

I can't remember where I used to buy them on line, but they are there.... just keep looking

I think if you do a little more research, you will find them for $9.99 each and if you order more than 5 the shipping is free.

Rich, there's one just down the road from us. Cost to re-fill 5lb bottle is $8.50. Jones Welding 112th and Sandy HTH

Thanks all for the imput. I will keep y'all informed as things progress. Wonder how big that egg sack will get? Hope it's soon, cause it looks like she's gonna burst!!

Welcom Rudy, you've come to a place where MANY people have more knowledge about this hobby than they know what to do with. Always willing/wanting to help. Hope to see you at the club meeting next month!!

Good Morning all. Well, I just love new finds.. This morning Lowman (bob) was in the store and I mentioned I had 2 Pom Pom crabs in. "where are they" he said. So we went looking for them, and guess what? The first one found is full, I mean FULL of eggs. Told Bob he couldn't have her (being selfish here) cause IF the eggs hatched, he wouldn't see or find the babies (not to mention they would be somethings food). I decided to set up one of those little Deco Art aquariums (under 7 cups water), put some sand and water from the tank she was in, and added her to it. So I now have a little maturnity ward set up and will watch to see how many eggs do hatch, and how many do survive. Questions for all. Do crabs really require water movement as much as fish? I don't think so, cause most of the time you find crabs under rocks away from the current. But, please let me know your thoughts. If there is no water movement, how will she catch her food? Or does she scrape it off the rock? If water movement, does anyone have a very very very small pump laying around that I could use for this little maturnity ward. The tank (HA, tank) measures 5 3/4 inches square. I need batteries for my camera, so as soon as I get them, I will post pictures of her.

Andy, what size is the tank again. I should know this, but I'm getting old lol

just leave it alone, it will get worse before it gets better.

Rich, That's why I feed Cyclop-eeze in the morning.I turn on the moon lites for this and they wake right up. It (cyclop-eeze) hangs in the water colum, and not washed over the overflow box.

LOL Joel, they won't be released till sometime in July, and the ones released in July will be obsolete in September when the "up-graded" version is released. We've sold 2 sets so far, and both customers have opted to wait for theirs until the September "up-graded" version is released.

For me, both at home and at the store, I feed first thing in the morning cyclop-eeze, and at night I feed a mixture of meaty foods. This has seemed to work out quite well. I've had more "jumpers" (prior to putting up some egg crate) than death by starvation. My Dispars at home have been doing quite well for months. I hope to continue enjoying they swim mid tank for a very long time. hope this helps.

Hey Chad, I see your Ocean Motions unit arrived yesterday. Was it the right one? Let me know

Daniel, Welcome!! I lived in Moscow, ID for a time, and it's a big change from the "city". Actually I lived in Troy, about 12 miles east of where you are. A town so small that if you blinked, you missed all 3 taverns, the post office (no mail delivery there), the corner store and a bank. When we entered the town, the population sign said 834. I am positive that included the dogs, cats, cows and chickens lol I hope you enjoy the experience of the big city. Lise

David, the tank has come a very long way. GREAT job

I'm sorry, I just assumed everyone knew. Squidster = Saltwater Fanta-Seas

May I ring in here? We are a distributor for Ocean Motions, and we would honor this discount at the store. You would not need to purchase 5 or more, to receive the "group" buy price. Please contact us for further details.

If the bulb is bad, it might be covered a warranty. I know there is a warranty on Hamilton, Ishio's and some others. Let me know (PM) which one you have and I will see what I can do for you. Lise Yes, we have 14K's but lets see if we can get it covered via warranty, ok?

We'd be glad to help out Lise

I have seen this before, and MOST of the time, it's turns out to be not enough juice. Try plugging the ballast into another outlet that is not on the same circut breaker. Sometimes we put more on the circut than they can handle, and most of the time it shows up with MH lighting. Hope this helps a bit. Lise

Yes, many of us know Gateway Bob. He has retired now, but I personally learned an awful lot of stuff from him.

Yo, dumb [language filter], use the right aoumt of water for correct reading lmao

Ron, 24 x 24 x 24 is 60 gallons (just an fyi) We have one set up here at the shop, but it is not drilled (yet). Hoping by this summer I will have it drilled and a sump added to it. I've got it X'd out on the back for the drain and close loop. I'm going to watch your thread and see what others think you/us should use. I (like you) am open for suggestions. Hope you don't mind lise
