Hey Mike, hope you recover quickly! The nitrile gloves are pretty durable and much more puncture proof than the average latex glove. While certainly possible that a vermatid snail or feather duster tube could cut through a nitrile glove, I think ifor the most part, it would take a pretty...

This thing is starting to sound really good!! I'm still in for the fresh fruit salad.

Ouch!!! Nothing like a little snail to add stress to your life! who wouldv'e thought!

Thanks Gresham for making that point, a good one to remember, especially since my tank is acrylic! When cleaning, I do knock them off, and fortunately they don't seem to try and resist all that much.

Nice! Keep us posted on the progress!

Hi Xinumaster, I'm in Albany. I'd still be up with a 2 tank tour, it's all good! 8)

Hmmm...2 tanks isn't much for a tank tour. If it was postponed to a later date, would there be a possibility of more tanks being on the tour?

Just Googled and found numerous pics from various places confirming that these are Collonista's. Thanks again guys!

Yep, it's true Jeremy, I noticed them at night, out in numbers, that's why I was curious about them... Learn something new everyday about this hobby!

Awesome Guys!!! Thanks!! I'll google Collinista and see what more I can find out. They don't seem to be doing anything that has a negative consequence, I was just curious as to what they are.

Hi All, I noticed a recent population boom with these snails in the last 1.5 months. Don't know anything about them and wondered if anyone has some insight. Note: The one image shows a ruler behind the snail indicating its overall length to be 2mm across.

Hi Art, I just moved to Albany and like you am within Walking distance of Albany Aquarium. The second Saturday in October works for me!

Before moving out to the East Bay, I just had the excess go out to my yard where I would water my plants (I didn't have a water meter). Now however, since I am renting and only have a 28G tank, I've bypassed the RO unit and am only using the DI portion of the filtration. It goes through the DI...

Welcome Nanocube-boy! I'm a fairly recent member of BAR myself (about 2 months now), but used to belong to the Sacramento group (MARS). From the posts that I've read here, I can tell you that there are many people here with a lot of experience that can help you get started or help keep you...

I have a 5 stage Spectrapure model that's done great. It comes with an attached TDS meter, but mine arrived without one, so I called and they sent me a dual TDS meter to make up for the mistake. Never had any problems with it. I like getting the color changing resin for the DI as it helps me get...

I can bring a big bowl of fresh fruit salad, but I'm flexible and can make something else if needed.

Hey! That's a neat trick! I didn't notice that either! ::)

I notice that the August Frag Swap notice is still on the home page. Not that it matters all that much but it would be cool to see more 'Recent Topics' listed on the front page. Which could happen if the Frag Swap notice was removed. :)

Sounds like fun! I'm game for a potluck!

Thanks Guys! It's the first time I posted pics with Picasa. I used the right button on the mouse to get the link and pasted it in between the image tags. Perhaps I will try photobucket in the future. Dyngoe, I wondered about the type of lighting being a reason. I'm curious, when you changed...
