Just got myself a M.I. Blue Maxima. Ive wanted another Clam since mine suddenly died a few months back. He just arrived today and went through his acclimation, I put in a few corals and a few fish so the LED's are off and hes the second to last to go in. As im situating my new Feather...

I understand that both red leg hermits and nassarius snails are good (maybe even essential) for my sand bed, but every time I add a few nassarius snails to my tank, invariably the hermits capture and eat some. Is this normal and should I just keep one or the other? THanks! Angie

Hello everyone I am in the process of restocking my CUC as over the course of the last 3 years it appears that the numbers have dwindled .... My CUC budget is roughly $40 bucks the only CUUC members that i current have are: Nassarius Snails x5 i think Red & Blue leg crabs x2 remaining ...

Is it true that nassarius snails are the best for cleaning up algae off of the sand bed?

So I just got some mysis shrimp for my 1 clownfish in my 90 gallon tank. (I know it's really lonely) So when I cut 1/8 of a cube and put it into the tank, all of the mysis went out and the nassarius snails came out like demons! I've never seen so many come out at the same time. So my question...

I have 8 nasa snails in my tank currently and there is a little algae build up on the substrate. i have a mix of live sand and crushed coral. is it possible to have a goby that will sift the sand without getting the crushed coral stuck in its gills?

Hello Guys; I just had a quick question... I'm redoing my 28 gal. and was considering going BB, However I have Nassarius Snails in my tank and was wondering if they can live in a BB tank? Since they won't be able to burry themselves? Thanks for your input :biggrin:.

Unfortunately, after about 5 years with my 55 gallon saltwater fish tank, I am thinking about stopping for now. In order to have the kind of tank I would eventually want, there is a lot of time and money involved that I just don't have now. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to...

Alright so I should lay out what we got instead of just harassing people. There's the 75 gallon, about 15g sump. Well, it's not really a sump I guess, just a fuge with a place to put the skimmer. The 75 has about 100 lbs of LR (about...), corner drilled to the under stand fuge. The fuge is...

Hello, everyone! I'm new here and didn't see a newcomer's thread so I'll use this to introduce myself and my tank. I'm Barb, and my tank had LR put in on April 21, 2008. It's already loaded with corals. I've found I have no patience whatsoever, but I'm working on that! I live in Ohio, have four...

I ordered some fish/inverts from a different vendor... nothing too unusual, but nice to get something new... and... you can use your new discount if you were lucky enough to get a UPC. I'm not positive the barcode works, so you may have to enter the code at the bottom or have them to enter it as...

Hi All, I am new here so if this is not the right place to post this, please don't yell too loudly. I love crabs. I have had 2 emerald crabs and a porcelain crab. All three have died. :-( At first I thought it was because my tank was too new (only 7 months) but I would supplement the...

a while ago, i ordered a tunze nano skimmer for my new .. well, nano tank :) silly me accidently ordered two (of everything in that order) i decided to give them both a test. one running in the nano, with nothing but rock, a few snails and a hermit or two. no lights on that one yet. and the...

Hello there. I have a 55 Gallon glass tank overflowing to a wet dry sump. In my sump I have a coralife super skimmer that outlets into my home made refugium. I have ran an overflow back from the refugium to the sump in case the return pump cannot keep up with the skimmer pump but really they...

I'm going to start treating my tank for red bugs next week, but was wondering if anybody knows if lionfish, eels and starfish are sensitive to interceptor? I know that lions are senstive to copper is what got me to thinking... I also know that my inverts have to come out but not sure about the...
