    I have a 29 gallon with a protein skimmer, a mechanical filter, two powerheads, and 130 watt of PC lighting. I also have a lot of live rock like 55#s nice pieces so that I can actually place some corals very close to the top of the tank if needed. Tank has been set up for a couple of years, my...

    What Is Going On With Swf.com

    I am sorry, but enough is enough. Two Corals available; are you kidding me. I have been pleased with the animals I have received and the customer service. However, I am afraid this site is going to lose customers, including me, if they don't start carrying more animals. Their coral selection...

    Ugly Substrate

    My tank has been up about two years exactly now. My only question is about the substrate. I have crushed coral, a great LFS guy told me to do it when I set up the tank and have loved it BUT, it is getting ugly. What I mean is that it is getting covered with red coraline algae so it is spotted...

    Sun Coral??

    I have heard a lot of varied opinions about keeping these, the most common seems to be what Oceana said in a different post, which is with a little special care they are fairly hardy. I don't think I would have a hard time direct feeding them, just don't know how often you are suppose to feed...

    Moving Featherdusters!?!?!

    I just purchased a featherduster about a week ago. He seems to be doing ok, that is he hasn't retracted his feathers at all yet, never seen him even go in his tube from being scared. However, he is in the frong corner of my tank so not a very good view of his crown, and his tube is laying...

    Tang Police Welcome :) but really mandarin question

    I have read a lot of different info on the mandarins and I don't know what to think. I realize they love to eat copepods and such but have heard and read that you can get them to eat frozen and prepared foods. I have the 29 and have kicked around getting one, but probably won't. The only way...

    Long Tentacle and Cinnamon Clown

    I just ordered a Cinnamon Clown from saltwaterfish.com and wondered if there will be any problem getting it to take with my long tentacle anenome, from everything I know it seems like an easy match but just curious.

    Anyone keeping or kept a boxing crab

    They seem like they could be real cool inhabitants, but I didn't know if there was anything I should know about them before I purchased one; any first hand info would be appreciated.

    Anyone from Central New York

    I have found one lfs around here that I 'kinda' like. I buy my RO and Premix from them and have had no problems with their water, but they only have one system, they don't have their own quarantine system for fish they just get in and so when they do get fish in they go straight into the system...

    Tang Police please ignore

    I have a 30 gallon tank, and was thinking about getting a real small, approx 2 inch, yellow tang and trading it once it got too big. Other than the very passionate police I wanted some opinions on this, I really like the fish, and love what they do with algea

    Nudabranches????

    First, I was wondering if any of them are poisonous. Second, I was thinking about getting a lettuce nudibranch to help with a little algea cleanup, but had heard to not count on them living long, to use them, keep an eye on them, and get rid of when they die. Just wanted to here some first...
