I have a 10 gallon refugium set up on my 75 gallon salt water tank

it is an hang on type refugium and will have separate blue and white led lighting

I plan to pant it with shaving hair brush algae, maidens hair algae ,ulva lettuce algae, and red fan algae the main purpose of the refugium will be to raise photoplankton and copopods for food in main tank and as they grow will transfer some of the algae to main tank as well

due to placement of refugium it will receive little to no light from main tank or any other source

setting up a refugium on my 75 gallon tank need to have lighting reversed between tank and refugium

have both blue and white lights for both

i want 8 hrs of light in tank (including room light)with 24 hrs of light in refugium

now only white lights can be on in tank while blue lights are on in refugium and only blue lights are on in tank while blue lights are on in refugium and white lights are on in refugium when tank lights are off

my question is how can i accomplish this using timers,single standard household outlet and power strips

normal power strips will only hold 2 timers and normal household outlets will hold only 2 power strips (power strips have 6 outlets) and still need to add all normal aquarium equipment ( ie: heater, filter, power heads and air pump)

About 6 weeks ago I had a problem with my filter lost all but my snowflake eel

Tank is 75 gallon reef have completed a 100 percent water change all perameters now back to normal ph 8.2 sg 1.023 nitrate and nitrite 0

Tried feeding eel live crab frozen squid silversides krill and shrimp used garlic but nothing seems to his liking

Can anyone give suggestions

Please read all before you answer

My snail was sold to me by a good friend who owns the local pet store as a conch

after much research online I can't seem to find it

It is about the size of a quarter with a large creamy brown foot. The shell is white with brown spots and shaped like a smooth ice cream cone it buries itself in the substrate as well as feeding around other parts of the tank

Can you help me identify this snail

If possible give me a web site for further information

i have been raising fish for 35+ years 20 in salt

this is the first time ive had to deal with something like this

all water prams good and all fish including anemone eating and swimming fine

150g tank substrate crushed coral canister filter

tank mates are snowflake eel 2 fire fish 2 pajama cardinals 1 bi color angle 2 feather dusters assorted crabs and snails

now to my question

this tube anemone has made itself at home in live rock is this normal all i can find on internet says they need tube to survive

since i moved from texas over 10 years ago i don't remember my drivers license number how can i find this information have tried calling tx dps but all i get is computer recording referring me to online site

this online site requires that i already know my dl number to get info for new job

sent my bird harley to friends house for my vacation

she became attached to a young cockatiel and thought a playmate would be the answer to my problems

harley is a 3yr old sun conure and as i work 12 hrs a day she is left alone most of the time

this seems to cause her to become aggressive

while on vacation i allowed a friend to babysit harley seems to have become attached to my friends 15 week old cockatiel

would my buying a young cockatiel be a good idea as a play mate while im at work

i've been a faithful member of this site for 2-3 years

i gained the top contributor status about a year ago

suddenly i lost this status

why?

i have a 2 year old jenday/sun conure cross

i want to have it dna tested for sex

can anyone recommend a web site

i have a 2 year old sun conure that may have fleas

there are no other animals in my home yet somehow we find fleas everywhere

possibly acquired by way of a used couch picked up recently

could they infect the bird?

if so what treatment should be used to get rid of them that will be safe around the bird

we have a 2 year old sun conure and would like to get her (dna tested) a playmate

since we do not want to breed her a male conure is out of the question

what types of other birds could we get?

would another female conure be a good idea?

could they be housed in the same cage?

ours is free (wings clipped) almost all day to roam the house

would it be a bad idea to get her a playmate?

as i often use yahoo answers to answer questions in pets/fish

i have saw where some people cut and paste a web site that by clicking on it sends you to a special page on the internet

could someone tell me how to do this for my answers

why is it that when you have exactly the same hand as an opponent (AA QQ 2) your oppoent wins but you don't

i am researching a sand sifting star fish for my tank

astropecten polycanthus

family: astropectinidae

3 out of 5 web sites say this star is reef compatible

but i want to be sure before buying

some list it as an omnivore some as a herbivore and some as a carnivore

all other parameters are good for my tank

as i am often asked

some people would like to see more of my tanks

is there a way to add more pix to my yahoo answers profile

i would like to add more pix to my yahoo answers profile

as far as i can tell it only allows the one used as the avatar when i sign in

i have several pix of my aquariums i would like to share with everyone

is this possible and how do i it

i've been raising fish for 34 years and pulled the bone head play of the year

last night i accidentally left a bottle of aqua pure in car

over night temps got down to -13

now entire bottle is frozen solid

will it be safe for use in my salt water tanks

have mushrooms,corals,anemones,fish and shrimp in all sizes of tanks

5 tanks in all

our sun conure keeps chewing on the baseboard of our front room

we give plenty of chew toys like popsickle sticks etc.and all the attention she seems to need but as soon as we turn our backs she heads for the same spot on the baseboard

is there any way to get her to stop ie: hot sauce
