If you wanted to, you could go super fancy and build a room just wide enough for a door. Think tiny closet. Plumb through the wall and have everything out of sight, easily accessible, and quiet. Also gives a place to store assorted needed items. Sent from Capt. Kirk's communicator

Feeding tongs. Don't let food float around tank hoping he will find it. I always fed frozen shrimp never the dried junk. Pinch a piece of shrimp in the tongs and wave it near where he is, if he comes out to check it out, hold still and let him smell it. If he take's it let go immediately. If he...

Dave, one of the stores, was it a huge white building with a yellow sign? There was Martin's as well later, I think they started in late 70's. I even worked at the Cherry Hill store for several yrs, as well as with the Lance brothers, the store that has several names in Cinnaminson. Used to love...

My father was a pilot in the south pacific flying sea planes to all the fly specks on the map on the 50's & 60's. Many of the passengers were marine biologists. One year I got the opportunity at MACNA to talk with a godfather of the field. I told him my father's formal name and he starts...

There is one good thing with a canister. A cleaning up tool to suck up gunk that settles in low flow areas without doing a water change. Use, wash, store away until needed again. Sent from Capt. Kirk's communicator

water change 20%, cut feeding to a minimum and if it continues rise, there is a product called ammo-lock. it converts ammonia to ammonium, a less toxic form and eases gill burn. do not add any livestock for at least a month or more. when the ammonia drops, slowly increase feeding and have patience.

very true, also, ever notice after a cleaning or water change when things get stirred up, there will seem to be a layer of "dust" on the surface? there ya go. hopefully the Lawyers and certain Cigar Aficionados sink to the bottom for hagfish feeding~

this is surreal. next thing you know, Travis, Teri, Craig, Curt, Troy, Roger,Gina etc etc will be reappearing~ Calling Mojo, Boomer~~~~

One of the worst things to do is over play with a tank. Take it slow. Corals do not like sudden change, even for the better. I may not have had a reef in some time, but one thing will always remain a rule. Keep your hands out. Some of the best tanks are the ones that the least is done to them...

Took a little scrolling, Steve, from Coral Dynamics. Sent from Capt. Kirk's communicator

That was Z, he was huge when I rescued him Jr I got from a sponsor after Z passed (his passing and last photo made front page of reef central for a week. After that, I got a message from a sponsor with a phone number and to call ASAP. he asks if I would be home for an overnight air delivery. I...

No plans on anything, Jr and I are happy. He is like a dog, walk near and he comes out slithers around then disappears again. How a 4 foot critter can vanish is funny. Right now I have more important things. Sent from Capt. Kirk's communicator

see my 210 thread

best place i found to grow it is on the glass. easily fragged off with a clean razor and keeps it contained.

be careful what you wish for, Xenia when happy can be as intrusive as aiptasia ~

depending on the light it was kept at, it will need acclimation to that as well. as you said, and i know. Xenia is fickle
