Re: Future GSP setup!

OP, make sure you post pics of your set-up when done (or before even)!!! Love this cuz I started with 1 GSP in a 2.5 gal (sold as freshwater + Figure 8 = WRONG!). Anyway, went from 2.5 > to 25 gal > to 40 breeder... with slow salinity changes throughout. All in all... this took a long time and (as S...

Re: HUGE Live Crabs for Food!!! Help!

OK, thanks ALL.

If it's "personal choice" ... I choose Freeze 1st !!! lol :lol:

Any idea how long I should freeze them for (to make sure bacteria is killed: and also the crabs :o ) ?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!

Um... do I need to chop them up 1st? (I'm not used to killing live things with my bare hands... kinda feel bad :( ).

Or can I freeze them and THEN chop them when the are dead?

Thanks again! :)

HUGE Live Crabs for Food!!! Help!

Hi All, So my GSP (now 4") has been tiring of his mussels, so off to the seafood market I went... and now have 4 HUGE + LIVE crabs (about 5" around not including claws). Question: What do I do now? Do I throw them in the freezer? * Don't want to put them in the tank cuz they are real big* ...

Re: SW Macroaglae Tanks anyone?

Wow. I haven't seen that one before. Very nice! Sounds good. I definitely agree on avoiding sexual macros. I can't imagine trying to deal with those. You could always remove the ones that are about to (turning white I believe..?) and placing them into a holding tank, but that's a fair bit of work.....

Re: SW Macroaglae Tanks anyone?

YES! I absolutely adore macros, and their benefits. I've been thinking about, after Christmas, hopefully doing one myself of about 30 gallons (with small gobies at first-- a larger tank with seahorses & related down the road), attached to a NPS reef. What macros were you thinking of getting? :D...

Re: SW Macroaglae Tanks anyone?

I would love to have a large macroalgae tank. I have seen pictures or seen a few really cool set-ups, but I would want it without potential predators. If I wanted it as a working tool for a puffer tank, I would set it as a linked tank beside or below the puffer's tank - as if it were a jumbo macroa...

SW Macroaglae Tanks anyone?

Was thinking of going the SW planted "macroalgae" tank route with my green spotted puffer.

Anyone else doing this???

Seems like a good way to keep nitrates down and cheaper than corals with less chance of being eaten by the GSP.

Also adds color and interest to the tank....take a look!!!

Re: Maroon clown hosting powerhead.

Not sure a nem + a curious GSP (without scales) is a good idea. :geezer: anyone know of a good link that classifies the nems by like hardiness, difficulty or anything. im interested in getting one but 1) i dont know how my GSP will take to it and 2) i only have the stock T8 lighting so i dont think ...
