I believe the reason ppl suggest keeping dwarf species in a small tank is to help maintain a high density of food available for these ponies to graze on throughout the day.

Thanks for the heads-up Ian! I didn't know that these crabs are obligate symbionts. Would they survive on any Acro or just on specific species?

If you ever decide to get rid of them, I would love to take them off your hands! I wouldn't mind setting up a tank just for these little guys/girls/crabbies.

How about a Trimma or Eviota goby?

I havn't been to RTC for awhile. I am making trouble else where nowadays ;D Do you still have that tank inside your lab? With a reef tank of that size... I bet you are gonna win the D-day prize every year ;)

Any thoughts ??? http://www.reefbuilders.com/2009/03/03/magic-eraser-clean/

Yes. In the books/articles I have read so far dwarf seahorses will require a daily 2-3x feeding of enriched BBS. Euphyllia, which species are you interested in?

It is possible to introduce bony fish directly into a hyposaline environment, without having to gradually lower the salinity. You can also adjust the pH and temp in the QT to similar values in your display to ease the transfer.

I am thinking of venturing down the dwarf seahorse route myself. I recently bought "The complete guide to dwarf seahorses in the aquarium" by Alisa Wagner Abbott. It is a great resource, recommended to me by the kind and informative folks on the seahorse.org forum. I plan to keep 2 pairs in a...

Is this a member's only event? I wouldn't mind paying to hear this talk.

I have several Mangroves growing in my freshwater planted tank for over a year now. Initially these plants came from a saltwater tank, and I just chucked them into freshwater. The plants protested by dropping all of their leaves and looking really sad. A month later, they all forgave me and...

I am going to go against the grain and say +1 for the hyposalinity treatment. Freshwater dips can yield immediate "results", but I do not believe that it is a cure. Once the animal is returned to the tank, it will become reinfected unless you transfer the individual to a new tank after every...

Wow, is the tank located right in the atrium of bldg 36? What kinda fish is going into this tank? Btw, awesome article in RHM!

As you can see there is nothin' upstairs... :D

I purchased a pair of yellow safety goggles from a local dollar store and it works fine. As for the BlueStar it works great if you plan to use it on the go or if you like to have a movable light source to direct at a specific colony. It is also handy for finding new recruits or discovering...

I tried using a blacklight(the type used to find pet stains) but the amount of florescence was minimal compared to the use of other light sources. I think any blu-ish light source will allow you to showcase coral florescence, but I do like LEDs the most. In order to truly appreciate...
