Questions - Need some input

I have questions that need answers.

  1. Coral Banded Shrimp

    Hello Everyone and Happy 4th,

    Let's remember who to thank for today;-)

    Now, I've a Coral banded Shrimp and it's molted once again. Is there a rhyme or reason as to why and how often they molt? Any Guesses out there?

    Thanks,

  2. New 120 Gallon Tank Stand.

    Well, After about 9 days of hard labor, the new Stand is completed. I had help from my cousin on the skinning of it. Am hopeful to begin the Stand Swap on Friday. Any words of wisdom on doing a stand swap out there?

    Below are some pix of the build. The inside is Kilnz and then a Qt of HD's - Behr's Semi-Gloss Interior Enamel paint. (purchased for only a buck, some one else's "opps Paint" but, the type and color were okay for my purposes.)

    Thanks,
    ...

    Hello All,


    I took the week off, went to Point of the Mountain, Ut. ( Near SLC) for some Hanggliding with friends, only to have my wife tell me that she thought the sump was leaking 3 days into the trip.

  4. The Refugium

    Whats the overall consensus on cleaning the walls of a refugium??? While my tank is a little over 3 months old, I have some alga growing on the walls and over the divider into the center return section. I saw pix of Marc's refugium per the review of the Refugium LED Lighting system and it's crystal clear.

    on mine, I've noticed that in amoungst the algae thats growing on the sides, are pods and little creatures. Am I inviting trouble in scraping the sides down and clearing out the ...

  5. Hippo Tang and s/w Ick?????

    I know that in the freshwater aquarium hobby, that F/W Ick is white spots all over the body of a fish (if memory serves me correct.. been a long time since I faced that ordeal in a tank.) I've noticed that my Hippo Tang has what looks like scratches only on one side of it's body. In the photo's it showing up mottled, but the other side of him is clean and looks good.
