The day is saved the Lawnmower Blenny has been moved. Thanks for the advice though.

I was gonna try to move my Lawnmower Blenny to my fuge so i could put a Starry Blenny in my ST but he is playing hard to get and I am not gonna pull all my rock out. Anyone have any luck keeping two in the same tank?

What are you trying to filter from the water? Are you trying to clear particles so the water looks clear or are you trying to improve water quality? I am with CCR on this one, the less the better. A canister is good for running media, as CCR said, but from my experience you start putting foam pads or other things in there they become nitrate factories. I just recently removed mine for this reason. If you want to improve water quality I would lean to the refugium and leave the mechanical filters alone. Just my humble opinion.

Nice looking Ricordia

I agree. In this economy lets keep the money we are spending local.

Welcome, There are a lot of people here with a ton of information. I am sure you can find what you need here.

Probably be insanely expensive but at least maybe it will bring the price of other types of lighting down

Thank you very much

I am selling or trading a Fluval 304 Canister Filter. It works great I have just chosen not to use one anymore. I would prefer a trade over cash since I will just put the money right back into my tank. Make me an offer some nice coral, Zoa's, Ricordia, live rock, ect.

Cool, I will do that

Very nice..I like the color combo

Cool, what color? I saw someones post they had a rock with about 8 differant colors on it. It was pretty cool.

Ya, I really like the ricordias. I would like to get some more of varying colors some time.

Oops couldn't forget my lonely Ricordia

(laugh)(laugh)(scary)

wow sweet zoa's....so where is Sandy again?(enforcer)

Heres some more. The blues are new and are still coming out.

Some bright orange little guys

would love to see pic's of the zoa's.

Ya, my photography skills are what you might call subpar but I am working on some macros of the zoos and such.

I am looking for some macro to add to my fuge. I have some Chaeto and I am trying to stay away from the calurpa but I thought maybe some sea lettuce or some other low maintanence macros.

A few updated pics of my new tank. Its starting to come together now.

I totally agree and echo Brandy's good wishes to all the Moms out there.

I even stayed away from the fish store today. My wife was very appreciative. (laugh)

You know. I think you know what to do. You sound like a pretty intelligent squared away person. You would be surprised how many people wouldn't have even put a second thought into letting turd brother-in-law around their kids. Unfortunatly I see this a lot. I applaud you not being an enabler to this scrote bag and realizing that going down and stomping a mudhole in him (even though its probably well deserved) isn't appropriate. I say if you wanna keep peace, not necessarily with him, but with the other family members, you let them hold the child when sister and bro in law arent around and when they come around just make up some excuse why you have to hold your child ie. the child is tired, hungry, sick, fussy ect right now. That way you get to share your little bundle of joy with the ones you want and you don't start any Jerry Springer style family brawls.

Well first off I think the family being upset is second to your childs safety and your peice of mind, they will get over it. Secondly, I would guess that he is on some kind of probation/parole, or required to register if he is a sex offender ( I only assume that is the crime your referring to) so it would be a violation of these for him to be around children in most cases. I think you are on the right track I think I would just tell the family that you don't approve of his past criminal behavior and you aren't going to allow him to handle your child, or just let him hold the child and hover right around him, watching his every move. That would probably make him uncomfortable enoughg that he wouldn't want to hold the child for long. Just my humble opinion.

TRADED..................................................

They are pretty easy to clean especially compared to the Magnum 350's I used to have. If I were gonna run a canister again that sounds like a pretty good setup your talking about.
