Speaking of Brittlestars Tony. I am still unashamedly looking for some remember? :rolleyes:

Bob: Next time we're together, I promise I will try to get you some brittlestars. If you're ever in the DeepSouth(tm) look me up.

Jon: Glad to hear your scooter took some. I wish I had known about this mysis when I had scooters, because I think it might just be pivotal for success with them. How long have you had this scooter, BTW?

Tony,
Well on the 19th of june my tank will be 1 year old and i got him about a month after setup(not at home so i cant tell you the exact date).

Sooo he has been in my tank for 11 months.

he still preffers the brine shrimp but does eat the mysis.

Ah, so he hasn't hit that "danger zone" yet.

Good luck.

Mysis continued....

Ok, I've used the mysis a few times now, and am very happy with it.
HOWEVER, there is a significant amount of oil that collects on the top of my sump tank, and I notice a good amount of algae growth a couple of days afterward. Because of the water volume of my system, (somewhere around 260g), I think that I can get away with not rinsing the food. I am not running a skimmer. I think that if I wanted to feed the mysis more than once a week, it would definitely need rinsing.
I'm going to keep it as part of the variety of what I feed my tank.
I also feed clam, squid, brine shrimp, flake, krill, silversides.
I still need to get some DT's.

You know, that's odd. I have yet to notice a significant oil slick anywhere during or shortly after feeding either on the water surface or inside the skimmer (well the skimmer gets gross anyways, I clean it every two weeks or thereabouts); and I feed the mysis unrinsed every 2 days ... :confused:

Oh well, maybe it will still come..

I was rereading this post today, and began to wonder about Kim's turkey blaster, and what its original use was. I envisioned some sort of device you would use to sneak up on a turkey and blast the hell out of it. But the I wondered what you would do with a blasted to hell turkey. You probably would not want to eat it, and I honestly cannot envision anyone being so angry with turkeys that you would want to blast them. So I remain puzzled. :confused: :D

Hey Bob, blaster is just my way of describing the effects of using a Turkey Baster (device for sucking up juices from a roasting pan). If you are not very carefull with this hi-tech device it becomes a Turkey Blaster, as you could damage your corals with the force of the water/food jet.

I have also found a secondary use for this device. I use it as a Bristle Worm Sucker. I stick it into the refugium and suck up unsuspecting worms to put into my main tank.

Hope nobody thinks thats cruel, as I would hate to have the Bristle Worm Police sicked on me. ;)
