Subject: How many sea urchins can I sustain in my Nano
|
I currently have a Sea Urchin - pinkish sort of thing not sure of the exact species or name - it was described as a pin cushion urchin....it trundles around the tank picking up all sorts of rubbish on it's spines....including the odd hermit crab hitch-hiker that takes a free ride before dropping off.... Now, the LFS has some really great looking Long Spine Sea Urchins - totally black in colour and I want one.....in the next few months I am getting a bigger tank 96 IMP gall instead of my little 15 IMP gall Nano....I have plenty of algae to sustain a couple of sea urchins short term I'm sure....but are there any other reasons you can think of why I shouldn't go out and buy one of these things? From experience if you don't buy when you see it vanishes for months from the shop...... Gill

Urchins are neat.......as long as they are in somneone else tank. They are sort of like a bulldozer and will knock things over, and a lot of them are known coraline algae eaters. I value my purple and pink and crimson coraline too miuch to allow a urchin to eat it. Now if I had a big fish only with live rock tank I may consider it, and I actually am considering it with a puffer I have as well as a future purchase of a snowflake eel, in the bnear future..... I would think once you get your larger tank and it matures adding one ort two at most would be fine.....Odds are you may have to supplement food with nori algae as they are know to consume decent quanities of algae. Hedk while your at it how about a cowrie.......they are pretty neat also and also eat algae.........and are also know to bulldoze corals etc over. ;-) On Sun, 21 2007 22:59:39 +0000, Gill Passman <gillnospamat@gillsfish.co.uk > wrote: << >>I currently have a Sea Urchin - pinkish sort of thing not sure of the << >>exact species or name - it was described as a pin cushion urchin....it << >>trundles around the tank picking up all sorts of rubbish on it's << >>spines....including the odd hermit crab hitch-hiker that takes a free << >>ride before dropping off.... << >> << >>Now, the LFS has some really great looking Long Spine Sea Urchins - << >>totally black in colour and I want one.....in the next few months I am << >>getting a bigger tank 96 IMP gall instead of my little 15 IMP gall << >>Nano....I have plenty of algae to sustain a couple of sea urchins short << >>term I'm sure....but are there any other reasons you can think of why I << >>shouldn't go out and buy one of these things?

Look around you Roy Tristan Hauer in these groups on USENET.. Just how many folks actrually hold a on topic conversation with you once they read your slanderous depraved sex posts? HOw many can you converse with , without getting into a pissing contest in short order. Just Gill. Anyone with 2 brain cells killfiled you long ago. HOw many questions can you answer without stealing the answers and materials from others? How many here would be willing to trust "YOU" at your word? How many here gives a rats ass about what you post or say anymore? Eveyone got you killfiled. Ho9w many here have been in contact with you "behind" the scenes by way of Email and phone in the last month or two, to disscuss .....what else "YOU" to try and placate you and convice you to stop trolling. I bet you can not even answer a yes or give a number other than "0" to anyone of them questions can you Roy Tristan? If it was not for Suicide Prone Ed Alston you would not have anyone to converse and conive with would you worthless semi literate 4F er. If it was not for your sock puppets you would be a lonely old redneck swamp drunk. If it was not for rec.ponds you would not have any entertainment would you Roy Tristan. You need carol to build your whale shit low ego. If it was not for porn, you may even have a wife that notices you! If it was not fro Ed, Myself and others yu would have created an even bigger mess in the usenet groups with your depravity and hate. If it wa snot for newbies you woul dnot have a chance to give info, but we all see how long your chance at putting ouot erroneous info lasts......about 1 post till your slapped down for spewing erroneous crap and bullshit about peole, always cripples and old ladies! 2 Posts until your totally ignored on the post/topic totally. Face it, your a hypocrite, a habitual liar, a drunk and a barely literate loser.....any way you look at it. NOt justb any loser, but a big dumb loser without anyone in life that gives a rats ass that really means something so you come on usenet to get your rocks off.YOu can tell by the folks you patronize that hang with you.....al have low self esteem like Antonio, no morale fibre, poor famioly life with parents who yu did not know or who did not care as they to were illiterate swamp trash......and a well known abusive upbringing with no regards for anyones beliefs..........your a real classic Roy Tristan.....

Don;t get me worng, I like urchins but i like the looks and all of coraline better than an urchin especiallyb in a reef tank. Urchins are all part and parcell of a marine environment, and god only knows the gulf of mexico is full of them..and they do make a setup look more natural.......but i like my coraline better.

You might consider a blue tuxedo urchin. However, they will die if there's not algae, macro or hair. And though they will eat some coraline algae, they won't bother any corals. Mike

As far as algae to feed the thing - not an issue in my tank - it's just over 4 months and coming under control but still plenty pickings for all :-( Of course, the issue is long term.....then I guess it is added food if I really want to keep these things - but I do like them..... :-) Gill

Better to wait. I've kept them in a reef tank before, but after a while it's like "ok enough is enough". They are beneficial on the reef, but in a reef tank you want a more perfect environment. It's like bugs being beneficial to the environment, but you don't want them eating your garden.

I'm sure finding an Urchin when thre time comes wil not be a big issue. Their spines are just like ceramic. I have been stuck a few times with them while scuba diving. Worst part is if your diving a sunk boat etc and bump yu r head into one. Those spoines break off and even with a tweezers or forceps are next to impossible to pull out as they just crumble up. How do they ship them without them puncturing a whole in the plastic bags? I can not say anything about folks keeping stuff I would not keep as I am not the one to throw rocks in that direction. I have a tank I call the Undesireables Tank.it has all the critters that folks normally flush when found. Little mean gorilla crab living along with a nice mantis shrimp, lots and lots of aipstsia, some really nice green pink and tan mano anemones, a super large bristle worm, a rogue hermit crab, who did nothing but continually scrape my coraline off my liverocks, and hundreds of asterina starfish. Hmmm. maaybe a small urchin could go just fine in that tank......certainly nothing in there for it to hurt....dunno how it would get along with the mantis though...

It can be done, just with the software you Tristan and jabriol use., You can create a group, remove a group and also forge their headers like they constantly do........Hipcrime is Antonio Sananas and you, Roy Hauers software of choice........anyone wonder why you two really like "free" ISPs and news servers like you Tristan uses, ..easy its the only way they can make hipcrime work.........who said you Roy Tristan Hauer and Jabriol are dumbasses.. more like assholes....... Remember this post to LoneGunman aka Tech Zero aka Max Pollare.... "~Roy "Tristan" Hauer" <Lákáwáná@Invalid.Invalid > wrote in message news:448adc3d.20924383@news.west.earthlink.net... > Funny thing that you mentioned the usenet ab(user) tool Hipcrime. I have a copy of hipcrime for some time now and never installed it as I liked the way Agent worked. I just may have togo and install that dll library and hipcrime and see exactly what it can do. I remember something about yur able to make groups as well as delete groups, but I may be wrong on that aspect, but I do rememeber its good for manipulating posts......but back then I had no need, now I have a mission so perhaps now there is a need...... Thanks for jogging my memory with the name hipcrime. I knew I seen it somewhere around my software here, and totlaly forgot it.
