cooler and a battery airpump and you should be good

What should I look for in terms of overall health of the specimen and pests?

I know responsiveness is very important. What else?

Re: Large clam transport

Go buy one of those mid size coolers and then just commit it to fish stuff. :D That's what I was thinking too on the water for transport Could I mix fresh salt water? and bring it home in totally new water?

Re: The new 210 gallon!

Updated new pics!! My apex is down, due to a memory problem, so I'm getting it repaired. That's keeping me from having a normal lighting schedule (well ramping anyhow) Fish Update: The yellow tang is healthier than he has ever been. Fattened up a lot since I got him, and he seems.... yellower! The s...

Re: The new 210 gallon!

Pics are updated. The pictures came out much much more blue than it looks to the eye. My android camera isn't cutting it. I need to get an SLR. My mom is a great photographer, I'll get her to come over and get some better shots once I get a few more frags in there. http://s967.photobucket.com/albums...

Re: Feeding a Mandarin

Thanks for the info. I am interested in this HOB deal even though I don't have a clue what that is. As far as the mandarin being farm raised or not I don't know, I bought it from Gerwin. And about the tank needing enough rock and being established, I was told I could put a mandarin in the tank bein...

Re: Feeding a Mandarin

Mandarins also have voracious appetites. They are kind of like the hummingbird of aquaria. They can eat a bottle of pods very quickly. They spend the entire day moving and eating. Make sure you have somewhere in the tank the pods can reproduce that the dragonet can't get to them.
