The Orchid Dottyback is a great looking fish! I have one myself but he hides all the time and only comes out during feeding time. Is yours a bit shy too? You asked what other fish would be nice for your 24 Aquapod and I think a Midas Blenny or a Bicolor Blenny would be a great addition. Don't...

U have 4 Clowns, 1 Canary Blenny, 1 Yellow Watchman Goby, 1 Firefish Purple, 1 Bicolor Blenny in a 29 gallon Biocube? Are they all getting along?

Nice pics man! Didn't you have 2 Orange/White Clowns? I noticed that there is a black Clown now in your tank. What happened to the other Clown? Did it die?

That's not cyano, it looks more like Red Turf Algae. You must get rid of it or it will continue to take over the tank. Turbo Snails are suppose to eat that type of algae. I battled Red Turf algae for a little while, I bought Turbo but they seemed to be pretty slow eating that stuff. Then I...

Thanks guys but am not sure if this thread is useful for me. My tank has been set up for a while and I do have proper lighting, 2X150 HQI + 2X39 T5's. The Anemone moved all over the tank since day 1 and then after a couple of weeks of moving it settled behind the rocks.

I purchased a Green Bubble Tip Anemone few weeks ago from another reefer. It is a nice looking GBTA but the problem is that it has settled behind the rocks. It has been there for a couple of weeks now and it does not look like it is going to move any time soon. I wonder if there is something I...

I purchased an anemone from a friend couple weeks ago and it has been moving all over the tank since day 1. I wonder what's making the anemone to continue moving around the tank. A friend of mine told me that it would pick a spot and stay there but that has not happened so far. The tank has...

Drain all the water in a bucket and keep the liverock wet while you transfer everyting into the new tank. Put the fish and corals in another bucket that contains water from the tank. It is not that difficult, just try to do it as fast as you can and try to use as much water from the tank that...

where are you located?

I personally only float the fish in the bag for 10 minutes, add some water and then release the fish. I do this for fish and invertebrates. Whenever I buy I coral I just dump it in the tank right away. So far all my livestock has been doing well. I have not lost even one fish, invertebrate or...

You have a very nice looking tank! very clean.
