    New clownfish tank

    How old is the tank? Do you have any other fish in the tank? What do you test your SG with? In my experience when your water is too salty, fish will not eat. Hope this helps

    need advice on JBJ quad....

    I liked my JBJ, but it needed an upgraded pump. I had a problem with heat, but thats understood when you put 150 watts over a 12 gallon tank. I really have not messed with any of the new nano's, but I really like the cleaness of the Solana's. Best of luck!

    Ready for a bigger tank...what to buy??

    I have never bought a new setup and Ive been in the hobby for a couple years now. You will save a bunch of money, but you have to be patient and wait for the right one for you. With a FOWLR you are going to want the same filtration as a reef tank. A sump/fuge will always aid in this process, and...

    Live Rock Lighting Question

    From my experience coraline algae likes the power compacts. If you seed the tank with a piece of LR with coraline on it you'll have it growing everywhere with those lights in 3 months. Make sure to keep the rock you purchase with coraline submerged at all times!

    Blue Hippo dried up on floor

    I had the same thing happen to me. I highly recommend the light diffuser to prevent jumping. $10 goes a long way keeping your $60+ fish off the floor

    Buy 2 Perc's or 1 First then the other later?

    +1 same time. If they are similar in size, they will figure out who's who. If there is a larger fish in the community tank, get that one and any another. Something I like to do is observe them for 10 or so minutes and see who likes to hang out with who. It then becomes difficult to remember...

    anemone has split

    Thats pretty awesome! I have a GBTA also and it has been really stringy recently, and I'm not sure if its doing the same thing, or if it is PO'ed that I took the clowns that were hosting it out of the tank. How long would you say the process took?!

    Fish and Invert ideas

    Thanks for the book suggestions and replies. My tanks been up 2 months. I have around 75lbs of LR. All my parameters are good, no ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates thanks to my sump. The calcium and KH were a little low, but I dose and test accordingly. I watch my pH and adjust by buffering my ATO...

    Fish and Invert ideas

    My g/f went to a LFS the other day and the guy told her that we could get another goby to along with our yellow watchman. We have a 55 gallon corner tank, and I didn't think that information was correct?! Also, what kind of starfish can I get thats easy to care for, reef safe, and likes to be on...

    What will eat algae off sand?

    goby's, sand sifting starfish, nassarius snails. They might not all eat it, but they will help it from occuring by keeping the sand stirred up
