Bummed I have to work this weekend. Saw their sale email. Oh well, seems like I work every time they have a major sale. G

I have a Bubble Magus Collapsible Fish trap. Over the years some of the white rubber bands that hold it together have snapped. I am wondering if any of you know where I can order more of these? These are not typical rubber bands you find in the store. I can always rigs something else, but these...

No cleaner shrimp. No idea about vermitid snails. Some additional picks.

He is awesome so far! Since day one he minds his own business. I don't have any small snail or crabs, and he leaves all the larger ones alone. He swims out and competes for food, but does not show any aggression towards any tankmates. When it is not feeding time he just casually swims around...

Agreed...just ask Yoda...

That looks really cool...better start saving now.

The best news so far is that the spotted puffer has been an ideal citizen. He just cruises along looking for food. He is one of the first fish to come up to the feed ring when he sees us approach. He does not bother any other fish and seems to leave the corals alone. Just picks at the rocks here...

Ok, Time for another journal update since it has been a few months. I was gun shy. Overall the tank has been settling in and doing well, but I did not want to jinx it. Just got back from vacation. I previously had a hair algae problem that I was manually removing. This seems to be in control...

Following along. Anyone used or have any experience with the reefbot lab? Heard any feedback? https://www.reefkinetics.com/product/reefbot-lab/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwt-OwBhBnEiwAgwzrUiZxveuiFs8t3KlDhq8Ukj6eMtQ1VQXaKiMqfgAr8UEQD34OE3q_dBoCU6AQAvD_BwE G

I have heard very few success stories. I’m actually following a thread on humble fish about idols. Some people thought larger specimens do better than smaller ones. There were some concerns about aggression and stress causing them to not feed. There were comments about tangs being aggressive...

Probably see an add on late night TV add asking if you have been a victim of low salinity. Haha.

Damn, bad timing. I have a few fish finishing up QT, but won't be ready for new additions for at least another two weeks. Oh well, next time.

Welcome! I echo what others have said.

Well, Just had my first power outage in years (we are on the PD adn FD grid, so no rolling black outs). Power was out for about 7-8 hours (5p-1a). We originally purchased a system with a battery for these types of situations and it worked flawlessly. Never lost power. The fish tanks did great...

Any ideas on the lifespan of sea urchins?
