 Re: Michelle's Ocean Fantasy Hey Michelle I was looking at pumps today and came across a great that's available on almost every fish store website that I know of. It's called a Coralife Pump...I'm getting the Nano one for sure...but I think they have bigger ones.  |

| Re: Michelle's Ocean Fantasy Question: you all know I have a 180- if I change my wetdry to a wet/dry with a protein skimmer which I have found- what size is needed ? Right now we have a 300 gal filter under the tank. Leak is fixed for now- planning for the future. __________________ Michelle Sponsored Links michelle's ocean fantasy View Public Profile Send a private message to michelle's ocean fantasy Send email to michelle's ocean fantasy Visit michelle's ocean fantasy's homepage!

| Re: Michelle's Ocean Fantasy Hey Amanda- sorry didn't get to you earlier..... My feather dusters and what I 'think' might be a rock anemone. They were reaching so far out from the rock! So cool to see them come to life like that!

Re: Michelle's Ocean Fantasy  Yes, so far so good on the leak. I was getting so depressed! Everything I had wanted to do was put off due to the leak taking priority! Darn leak! Now I am moving forward again----- yeah! I've been drawing alot at work- and hopefully can create the underwater image I keep doodling. It would help if I were an artist (hahaha) But I am not, so we'll let nature take its course and see what happens with the aquascape! Pics to post soon- promise, now that leak is gone!

| Re: Michelle's Ocean Fantasy Be careful with GARF. I ordered form them once and lost a bunch a stuff shortly after it arrived. I will give the grunge credit though. It is definitly full of life. I lost about a fourth of the snails I ordered and none of the corals I ordered survived. I really admire what they are doing but I dont feel that they have very good shipping policies.

| Re: Michelle's Ocean Fantasy Hey Mike- thanks for the heads up- I was going to order some of their rock sculptures. Any luck with those? Have you or anyone you know ordered them- if so- did you have the same results? Thanks!

Re: Michelle's Ocean Fantasy  Hey everyone! Question: Are there any snails that would eat a feather duster on a live rock? The 1 snail that the LFS gave me for a $1-(because she had no idea what it was) seems to have been hanging around the same spot my duster was-it's been like 3 days, hasn't moved, so I moved it. There is now a caved indentation where the snail was, and my duster is GONE. I know a picture would help- working on that- but any ideas? I really like the snails shell, and I really liked the beautiful feather that was coming from my new rock- if I has to choose, I want to keep the feather- what kind of snail would suck up a duster AND the rock around it?!? Thanks!

| Re: Michelle's Ocean Fantasy Does anyone know what this is? It seems like a mussel or clam, bivalve of some sort. When I feed my tank- it slowloy comes forward- lengthening itself away from the rock- then it slightly opens it's shell- I can't find it anywhere I look. The closest thing was a turkey oyster? I think that's what it was called. Any guesses? It came on the rock.

| Re: Michelle's Ocean Fantasy Hey all! Just give me a second- I haven't been on photobucket for a bit - now I can't upload my pics. I have been using walmart.com for my slideshows. Let me try to post and you will see what I have so far. I have a nice rock on hold at my LFS with a pink tip attached to it. NICE!

Almost scared to say this because I don't want to jinx myself. (so I am whispering...I think it is fixed)

That shouldn't be blown.
