Pliers...great idea. I will try needle-nose pliers on the two vermetid snails that have taken up residence on my clam's shell.

Two vermetid snails have taken up residence on the upper part of my maxima clam's shell. What is the best way to terminate these snails without harming the clam? I found an interesting article about these invertebrates by Dr. Shimek: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-01/rs/index.php...

The tank looks really healthy. Your wrasse loves the camera! How is the plasma light system comparing to your old system after many more months? Great growth on the photos from October.

Wow, your tank looks even better than before! I especially like the lower half of the tank. Seems like the maroon clown did not get lost in the re-organization.

John, I will be very interested to learn about how your system reacts to the LED lights, because it was so beautiful under the old lighting system. Once you soaked your original Eheim pump in vinegar, does it work as well as it should?

I agree with Richard... the cloves & GSP will spread faster than you would like. I have extra orange monti cap that is pretty indestructible. Can bring some to the frag swap for you. Also, I have blue-green candy cane/trumpet coral that is pretty tough... you can have some of that too, if you...

Jim, it was great to see your remodeled house & reef systems in person. Very impressive and well-planned! Can't wait to see water in the big tank, and look forward to seeing the auto top-off system.

They are always working. My hermit crab likes to eat them if they are unfortunate enough to fall off the rocks. :(

Wow, that is a cool SDMAS resource!

Can add sfpatentcat to the clean-up crew.

Wow, your system looks great! It's amazing how everything fits inside the stand.

Jim, I can bring some chaeto to your house... Pretty close to me. Can you send a pm with your address and schedule this weekend?

Wow, that's a great setup! Are you planning to add a tang for algae control?

I want to deliver a bunch of chaeto just to see the smaller parts of the system functioning!

Eileen, glad I'm not the only one who has had problems with roving yumas. Rusty, will try to get a photo of the damaged reddish/pink fungia frag. I am afraid that the yuma encroached on the mouth. Mario, that's great news about the nano stand!!!!!

Green yumas are destructive... they have a tendency to detach from the rock, float around in the current, and sting my prized corals. First happened to the big blue/purple chalice, which has recovered from its encounter with a yuma. Last night, was target feeding the red fungia frag when I...

Even with my efficient unit, I'm always dumping the RO wastewater into the top-loading washing machine. The waste line goes into a 32-gallon Brute trashcan, and I try to time the rinse cycle so I can use the wastewater. For those with big tanks, it's pretty hard to use all the wastewater...

For me, the ratio of wastewater to pure water was an important factor in choosing a RO/DI system. I couldn't afford the ultra-efficient $1000 Spectrapure model. I have the Vertex Puratek 100 GPD unit with booster pump & inline TDS meter. I have been very happy with the Puratek unit, which...

Mine too!
