OK, I've got a clam. It's got a white shell... ridges on the shell run to the hinge. It is alive, the shell halves are opening and closing. It's also apparently getting larger. Now what the heck do I do with it? How do I feed it?

I've heard excellent things about live aquaria and saltwaterfish.com If your into coral and like expensive ones, vivid aquariums has some neat corals.

I'm going to throw in another method for you. It's a little slower, but (IMO) a lot safer. Put the dead sand in the tank. Put in about three/quarters of the total live rock you want to put in, but use only dead rock (preferably stuff with lots of pores). Reefcleaners had a great deal on some...

Bleck... CZ is the way to go. CZ-97 if you must have a .45. I'll stick with my CZ P-01... I can hit a head size target at 50 yards.

Very nice.

Mushrooms (in my experience) tend to move to find where they are happiest. They'll stretch their 'foot' until they get to a new spot and the foot will be left behind and grow into a new shroom. I've gone from 2 to 8 in less than 6 weeks. One mushroom is just working its way around the edge of...

It's a 45 gallon pentagonal tank. We've got a 96W PC light (both 10k and actinic). Two power heads, one with a sponge filter and a HOB aquaclear 70. About 45 pounds of live rock (now, it was 40 pounds of dead rock and 5 pounds of live rock to start) and almost 60 pounds of live aragonite...

More new pics. The guy we got the first batch from has decided to go strictly SPS and the really exotic zoanthids, so we got a few more for cheap. The Candy Cane (Acan, right?) was only $45 and it's got 9 heads, 4 of whic are dividing. Candy Cane - I love this thing. mushrooms...

I second ceriths. With no predators they can breed in the tank (mine did). I am not a fan of turbos, but I have a small tank. I'd rather have several things moving than one big thing. I don't do any crabs.

I don't want to even discuss what my reef tank costs. I'm running a minimum setup and just equipment, I'm over $500. I've got about $230 in test kits. Dead rock and live rock and sand came to over $300. And I don't have a skimmer or sump or refugium. This is for a 45 gallon tank. And...

Cool. I placed my hammer's stalk in the sand and will move it in a few days (I'm rearranging rock work). Is it OK to leave it in the sand, or should I secure it to the rock? I'm having to add a calcium based marine buffer anyway, so the calcium shouldn't be a big deal. It's been a while...

I'm still massively disappointed that a psychopathic computer named HAL isn't in orbit around Io...

excellent. I'm real good at not giving attention.

Probably all six of them together don't weigh as much as my cat... very cute though.

How do you take care of a hammer coral? Is it pretty much like a torch with out the stalk? Lexie brought me home a nice one. Right now, I just put the stalk of the hammer in the sand and it seems to really like where it's at. It's already expanded larger than the tank it came from. Do I...

Per your request. These things are gorgeous. New hammer too... I forgot to post it yesterday.

New Stuff - My Christmas Present from the missus Eye of Ra zoas Dragon's Eye zoas New Armor of God Zoas Bird's nest SPS - amazing it's under 96W PC, but it's about 9 inches from the lamp. Growing very well. Leather

Big update. It's been a while and my computer is dead. I'm borrowing a little laptop for a while until Win7 comes in. Tank updates... Just did a water change. Still no fish, that'll be soon I hope. However, coral are going crazy. The bird's nest has increased about 50%. The torch (started...

I retract my vote for annie and vote to lynch Rich I've gotten about 30 minutes to actually be on my PC in the last few days. Sorry. My list innocent Zaffy, Kash, Noods TRS Jpap Annie MC DD Z mafia Are there any reasons, nothing more than vague impressions from the reading so far. The only...

Hi guys sorry. I've been gone. I just am not having time to play right now. I've seen two questions: 1) The thing for MC. Annie quoted a post in which MC said that he followed Dawg's logic or words to that effect. That's it, that was the whole thing. 2) The thing against Kash. I'm basing...
