I wouldn't know.... I don't cheat.

what cheat?

i once wrote an english paper in wingdings to make a point. Prof thought it was pretty funny...

Haha! I finished. With one inch margins and 12 pt Times font! Though I have used in the "wider margins" trick a few times. My favorite was using 2.1 or 2.2 spacing, as opposed to double. That's always good for another half a page!

But I haven't taken pictures yet, but I will get to it, so you have that to look forward to.

No piccies.......

Yes, just in an hour or two.

where's the pics??

YAY!

two?? i'll be asleep by then!!

Okay, I'm uploading them right now, just a few minutes.

i stayed up for this...they better be good!

Quick fts of the bottom tank


Awww, he just metamorphised. (bad pic, but he's tiny!)


(sorry bout all the poop. That's thanks to the Urchin)

Wow, that's one big guy on the left!

Yeah, I know. It needs to go somewhere else. I might sell it, or I might save it till after science fair, when i'll have a cw tank set up already. That would be a lot of tanks though, so I don't know.

What exactly is in the second pic?

looking pretty nice there...

send me nem, kthnx

pretty sweet tank jamie! just i think your anenome is wayyyy too big for that tank! if youre gonna keep it, add it to a 75 or something big!

Hey, how do you keep the eel grass alive and healthy? Do you dose your tank anything?
We don't dose our tank anything and all is well, but we can't seem to keep our eel grass embedded and alive!
Our lighting is wayyy too low, but we tried higher wattage light and everything dies, even when exposed for 8 hours/day. Right now its 40w, #1 20,000k bulb, #1 9,500k daylight. Any suggestions?

Baby crab covered in detritus. He's basically in the exact center of the pic (maybe a little to the right). A bit ou of focus, sorry.



I'll send you a nem if you send me a nem.



No dosing necessary, your problem is lack of light. Eelgrass will need a decent amount of light, for a 75 gallon tank I'd say around 100 watts (that is a guess, i don't know a ton on eelgrass lighting needs). The light also cannot be High kelvin temperatures, this is useless to the plant as blue light is not good for photosynthesis. So you will need more light, preferrably under 8000K, definitely no more than 10000K. Was 8 hrs a day the longest time you tried? I would go for at least 8 as a minimum, 10 or 12 preferrable. The problem with eelgrass is it likes the same conditions as algae, so if your eelgrass is doing well, your algae will be too. In my tank it's not hard to deal with algae because there's not much to keep clean, but in a 75 gallon I imagine it being hard to scrape the walls every few days. hth

Ok, thanks jamie! I'll tell my dad and we'll probably get new bulbs and another fixture. We're going the cheap way.

And we went all the way up to 14 hours and everything died, so we turned it down gradually and now around 8-9.5 hours is all the stuff can take. We use the 20,000k bulb for our fish, inverts, and anenomes, while the other bulb is for our plants. So I guess we'll change our bulbs, add another fixture for $10 and redo our lighting schedule and see whats up. Our lighting requirements out here are pretty low cuz there's harldy any sun, even in the summer. Oh and our algae is not a problem. Before we started the tank, I was looking at all the aquascaping ideas on this site. So now everything is at least 3 inches from the glass so our Magfloat can clean the glass where it needs to.

Oh and what kind is that giant anenome you have in your tank above?

Selling the Urticina? Really?

ok! Mine just had a baby anyway




BACK OFF

Well, since it looks like everyone wants it, I think you guys'll have to fight for it. GO!
lol, jk
but, if I do sell it (WHICH I HAVEN"T DECIDED TO DO, BY THE WAY) how will I decide who to give it to?

Jer is cuter.

*ahem*

No hes not Daniel is!!
see


I win. We get the nem.

i'm sorry jamie

Awwwwww, you guys are so cute!
Yup, sorry for the threadjacking Jamie.

Edit: Amber, were you in Star Wars?

Ahh I'm sorry for the hijack to Jamie. Can we still have nem? I bring cookies

Nope. I wish though Hayden Christensen is hot.

Because you look just like Natalie Portman in that pic!

Ahh shucks thanks Lalani.

Jamie here is some chocolates to make up for the rest of the hijacking:

nom nom nom, thank you for the tasties, Amber. and I don't mind the highjacking, this thread seriously needs some life. Go for it!

Jeremai hasn't said anything yet (other than his first post) maybe he doesn't really want it that much?

Lookin pretty good for you guys, if Jeremai doesn't come back, it may be off to you, but that's not a promise, because I haven't decided if I'm getting rid of it yet.

I always thought she looked like Alizee...but Americans generally don't know of her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=240S04eCCC0



yippee!!

**send it to me!!! send it to me!!!**

We don't like none of them there for'ners, y'know.

Hmm. She appears to be in a fishtank. Points for being relevant (kind of)!

Jeremai... where are you?

...but I like that one




I tried

sorry...I may have scared him off

I'm waiting patiently for Daniel to lose interest.


:twiddles thumbs:







But seriously, much as I would like to have an Urticina again, I just have a lowly, cramped 10g.

well...you can send me all your stuff and Jamie can send you the Urticina

lol. youre funny.

i like to think so.

Daniel, you only have a 10 gallon too, right? I ccould just not sell it, and end all debate right there.

yes, but mine is practically empty...

Jeremai, what's in yours making it so cramped? I can't possibly decide who is going to get it, so you two will have to come to a consensus. Have fun!

I could also try cutting it in half, and give one o both of you, but I'm pretty sure that would just kill it.

's ok...let jer have this one and save the next one you need to get rid of for me

Sounds good to me! I still want to trade for one of your nems though. Want a couple elegantissimas and/or green stripeys?

either of those would be cool with me

OMG, I just got literally the best CW-related pm ever! I'll tell you about it in a week or two (just to make sure everything goes smoothly, don't want to get anyone unnecessarily excited ). Hows about 2 elegants and 1 stripy? or 1 elegant and 2 stripies?

Nothing as of yet, but an Urticina taking up all that real estate would alter my stocking plans. I had planned on ordering everything for the tank at once, guerrila-style.

Adin had trouble cutting his Waratahs. It doesn't seem to work as well for CW anemones as for tropical ones.

Didn't work for the elegants either, even though they split naturally in the wild. Maybe slower metabolism means they can't heal fast enough? Like, they have to be preparing for the split naturally, or they won't be able to handle the stress? I don't know. It doesn't seem to work though.

THAT IS SUCH A TEASE!!!


i'll discuss it with the better half

sooo, should I make that one elegant and two stripies?

Well since you didn't get the chance before I read the thread. I'll let you find my answer here.



It doesn't matter to me what you give him. It's all up to him.
