  1. Not to take over the post but now I'm curious? I don't "vacuum" every time I change the water but the times I have the water that comes out doesn't have sand in it but it is a thickly murky water. I have a 2-3 inch sand bed (depending on where you measure). I have always done this with freshwater to remove the tiny debris between the rocks and started doing this when I got into saltwater. Is this something I should not be doing. Am I harming it by doing such? Thank you for the information! The sand when stirred can have
  2. Should you not vacuum the sand from time to time?
  3. OMG!!! I am in love with this jelly pict! Was this taken at the aquarium trip! I really need to get with it and figure out some camera techniques so i can take better picts!
  4. I'm not an expert on this stuff but I vacuum and always loose so much water but is a great time to vaccum when doing your water change anyways. I always have a lot of junk and think that stirring the sand an putting that water back in would put in a bunch of the bad stuff your sand was filtering out back into the tank. That , I don't think, would be removed throught the sump and sock. I wouldn't think it would be worth the increased levels you could experience. Is there a reason you are worried about saving that water?
  5. That's even better so after it passes they can just add anything else??? That's a scary loop hole to me!
  6. He's so hansome!!!! Is that true (parents liking the toys more than them) I found myself with a few of those type toys. Thought for sure they would love linkin' logs... guess he's too young but I sure had fun! When my kids were about his age they loved the socks with the toys and bells in the toe. Very cute to watch them figure out they can make it move if they move their leg. aaa+++ on the leapfrog comment. These toys were great! The kids learn. They play and parents can even interact with them. Absolutely great.
  7. Lots of birthdays this week! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
  8. Just one more day!!! I agree with some points but not all. No matter what happens I don't believe this bill will pass as currently written. And I know it wont be something that happens over night. It has a lot of Big time supporters on it's side AS IS though. I don't think they down sides have been explained to the public. This would kill off all the small businesses that do pets and pet supplies. Not more fish stores, distributors, bird shops, pet shops, even loosing petco and petsmart. Sure there will always be a supply needed for dogs and cats but there will be a huge loss for our counrty as well. Stores will close and there will be more layoffs as well as makers of those supplies will layoff more. there has to be a happy medium and this bill isn't there yet in my opinion. I thank you for all who have made their voice heard whether for it, against it, or somewhere in between. This is what it's all about.
  9. Thank you everyone who is sending in wether you agree with my opinion or not. This is a huge deal to all of us! This link is so super quick to. Under a minute and you can have added your piece( or you can write ALOT more )
  10. I don't know KORALTEK but a birthday is always a celebration!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! KORALTEK (party)
  11. The bill HR 669 is getting put through please consider making your voice heard. There are a number of ways. If you need help, a form letter, the e-mail address there are plenty of sites. http://www.nohr669.com/dosomething.htm The 23rd is the "big" day.
  12. This year they have extended the season as the year was cool and the tulips just opened. They'll be open till May 3rd this year. They have much more than just tulips too!
  13. They are getting pretty good about copying the paypal pages but you really should look close. Paypal will always use you name where as scammers who don't have that info will only put Dear Paypal customer. . . not just paypal but the banks too! Bank of America , US Bank, all of them will use your name not Dear Customer. Also... Paypal and banks will not direct you with a link 99% of the time. The real ones will ask you to go to their page and log in to your account. Never go to a link you aren't sure about. If they ask for more than your password and user name you should leave it immediately. If you are thinking something could be phishing ( fraud) e-mail you can send it to the spam department of that bank or paypal. They will tell you if it was ligit or not also. Leaves the guessing out of it. All these companies will have the e-mail address for spoof e-mails listed on their pages. Glad you caught this!
  14. Hummm... I think so too! We do love pictures!!!
  15. Very cool congratulations.... now the waiting begins!
  16. Do you have any pictures! We love pictures and I really like clams. Hoping to make it in this week!
  17. Thanks everybody. After cutting of the tips it immediately opened up again and it looks great. The tips already seem to be healing fairly well. Thank you!
  18. Such a vibrant green! There are some absolutely fabulous pieces here in this thread~
  19. Very cool! I wish my tank was this big!!!
  20. I actually didn't plan on keeping one very long. i wanted more fish but needed a clean up fish as well. I'll probably be in the same boat and have to get a new home for mine once I get more fish.
  21. Sorry to hear about that. I got a six line to help clean up the tank while it "heals" and I really like her. I so hope she doesn't decide to start attacking stuff. Glad to hear there are some good ones out there! Hopefully your tank will be fixed soon and you wont have to worry about that type of problem.
  22. I've got 4x 110w bulbs (2 actinic white and 2 blue) and 2x 400w metal halides.
  23. I live in Beaverton and went out one day... not intending to get anything for the tank. We were waiting outside a restaurant and saw a fish store next door. So we went in (I'm a sucker for fish stores!). They had a lot of freshwater and a few saltwater things. Very very nice display of freshwater stuff. They had a saltwater and freshwater display tank in the entry. The clam was there. I can't remember the stores name. All I remember is looking at the sign that said Tropical fish. Not a store I had heard of before but HUGE! Not much live stock for Saltwater though.
  24. So after weeks of "healing" and getting my tank back in normal specs I finally got a new friend and just wanted to share him! BTW the tank is better but my photography skills aren't (whistle)
  25. Mantis shrimp are such neat creatures between thier coloration and strength! Great video. Thank you!
