Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / September 2003

I had a pair of adult Lysmata amboinensis for more than
a year now. Couple months ago one of them disappeared from
the tank in unknown circumstances... Probalby has been eaten
without leaving any traces of body remains...

Refugiums, Live Rock, etc.
Thanks.

I started a 30 gal tank in march and put 15 lbs LR and 10lbs LS.  I
cycled it for 2 months and then added several fish all at once which
turned out not to work, b/c they all died except my fire shrimp.  I
then waited until Sep and added several turbo snails, a red-footed

I was going to get some peppermint or other type of shrimp at a later
date, but I currently have some hermits.......will they kill any shrimps
I may add later?

A very pleasant custom in rec.ponds is giving the urls to posters'
sites.  I would very much enjoy seeing the tanks belonging to
frequenters of this group.  The advice given here has value regardless,
but it does give added substance to the suggestions to see the effects

I have 29 gallon that is ready to be built but my question is can I start
cycling the tank with maybe 5 pounds of live rock and just sand and add 5
pounds every two weeks until I get about 30 pounds then add fish? OR should
I just wait until I can afford to add all the live rock at ...

I have a question about power heads and the amount of current SW fish will
tolerate.
I started my 120FW with 4 power heads and the current was so strong that
most of the fish in my tank could not hover still anywhere in the tank

 I just found this board last night and the timing is perfect. I am getting
ready to put together my first reef tank after about a year of maintaining 2
fish only setups. I just ordered a 90g acrylic tank and have pretty much lined
out the majority of the system as far as my sump ...

Don't have the opportunity to get to the news group as much as I'd like at
this
point in my life but check in whenever I have a moment to do so. I have
taken

I got in to work this morning and found that overnight, one of my tanks
bottom glass "gave out".
I didnt realise what had happened right away...
I had assumed that the bottom seal gave out so naturally I took everything

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't aware a feather duster worm looks much like some
sort of plant. This poor illustration below this text is similar to what it
looks like.

About a month ago I updated my 20g FOWLR tank to a 55g.  I gave my
damsels their own tank at the same time so I could keep other species.
Well after Isabel passed (just got power back) I went to the beach and
rescued some critters from one of the "New" inland salt water lakes and

On July 25, authorities in Singapore confiscated over 400
genetically-altered, glow-in-the-dark aquarium fish.

I found a photo on a website that is identical to my hermit, it's
idenfied as a blue-legged hermit crab, but it doesn't actually have any
blue on it.  www.saltaquarium.about.com   in the FINS index it's
identical to the first pic that shows up.

I have a 150 gallon two-year-old reef tank.  Approximately two months
ago, I upgraded my lighting with the addition of a 250 watt HQI MH to
supplement my existing approximate 550 watts of VHO lighting.  I
currently have approximately 150 turbo snails, and approximately 175
