http://www.cdnn.info/news/eco/e050820d.html I know its a year old, but its amazing, a coral that might use bioluminescent to attract zooplankton.

I think its cool. I know tunze already has it, but this is easier on the wallet. even ff the seio is twice the size

i've got a bunch of em, they seem to hide in the sand, but attched to the sides of the tank. so i see the little trails they leave and their undersides all the time

Is this new, or am i just slow? http://hellolights.com/seelco.html

sixlines eats em, they hunt down other worms too

with smaller rocks i just put em in the toilet tank, so every time it flushes they get a fresh change of water

Should be enough, I don't think they are jumpers. They mostly swim around in the rocks and in caves looking for worms and pods

lol me too! and I'm the one that said it... I need to go back to bed

your mom would glow red right before making you black and glow blue?

was it just the air that was in the RO canister that was forced in there?

I've heard of groups doing things like this in africa recently, lending small amounts of money to us (around 100 dollars) to poor women with plans to sell arts and crafts mostly, so they could set up shops. And it seems to be very succesfull. http://www.bangladesh-web.com/news/view.php?hidDate=2006-10-20&hidType=OPT&hidRecord=0000000000000000132762 I like the fact that it seems to help mostly women, and in a country where women used to have acid thrown on their faces for refusing to marry, it is a very good thing to do anything to help them.

oh man, I was hoping someone had glowing worms (sad)

since you bring that up you might check this out http://www.prairiereef.cimaonline.us/ghconstruct24.htm If the goal is to lessen the stress on the fish, why not just turn the lights on later? I don't have my actinics come on until about noon, that way the room has lit up a little bit, to wake the fish up. Then the last set of lights go off about 11, when the fish are already tucked away in bed (i still have no clue where that tang goes half the time).

who else on here works at night? I see a few too many people on at 3-4 am, so I hope you work at night, or you have those bio lumenescent worms in your tank (why else would you be up that early)... or you're just (nutty)

what kind is it and how was he being a punk? just fighting with the other or something?

in theory the 10K xm should have much more growth, but the 15K just looks so good. are you running 250s?

Cement about 5 bucks rock salt about 5 bucks 8 pounds coral "sand" 10 bucks 30 pounds of oolite (i have like 15-20 extra pounds) 30 bucks pretty cheap, just takes some time to cure, you have to make sure that the rock salt disolves, and that the alk of the water in the cuing tank drops to a safe level

Is anyone making DIY rocks, I'm just fishing for ideas about peoples ways of making them... I've used to recipes, one for base rock: 1-2 Parts cement 1 Part Coral sand 1-2 Parts Aragonite 2 Parts Rocksalt I made some by laying out 18X8-10 inch slabs of this mix about an inch thick, with areas covered in rock salt and areas that would connect to the next layer (to create short and wide caves though the rock) then smashing it into 8-12 inch chunks after it dried and it came out pretty realistic looking, half way between regular base rock and haitian rock. The with caves and stuff, before i smashed it up, it just looked like an ugly rock with slices through it, but with good flow through the rock itself... Its REALY rough. Recipe two was for branchy stuff 2-3 parts cement 2 parts aragonite 2 Parts coral sand 1 part rock salt Mixed pretty wet, but controllable, and piped with a plastic bag (like a pastry bag). and layered over aragonite sand, with multiple layers of branches and holes though the rock... this batch is still drying, but i expect it to be like a stiff matrix of rock, not as good flow through the rock though because of the added cement, but it should be more complex in shape I don't have a camera, but I will see if i can't get ahold of one soon.

the graves, keeps me from goin crazy. And local too!

I don't know if 1 inch is enough, but maybe you could give them a little hill somewhere with about 2 inches of sand?

okay, maybe I am missing something, but why is the clown in reef jail?

sounds promising?

Don't you have to have a commercial account to shop at platt? They work great though
