Quick question... i read on a post on here somewhere that after drip acclimating a new fish (or whatever method used), the person dumps the water dripped from the tank back into the tank. Is this what most of you do? I've been just discarding the water and doing a water change (since I've...

I thought some of you might share what reputable local fish stores you have found and come to trust. Perhaps we could list them by state? If seen multiple threads with people asking about them, but not one big thread. I'll start... CONNECTICUT: :happyfish Fin and Feather (Groton) :happyfish...

Just wondering.... in general, how long would say, a 100 pods last a mandrin?

I agree with you about the seascape backgrounds... so I use the black side of the blue/black material. Helps hide the HOB powerfilter and the protein skimmer... although I hope to add a sump soon to move most of that stuff totally off of the display tank. :happyfish Dan

Just wondering what sort of plant-life (pretty much anything non-fish) I could have in my 55g that only has the standard lighting right now. I plan on upgrading once the tank is more established (2 months old right now). Just looking for a little variety. In addition to the live rock, I just...

Great, thanks for the info... does the base (opposite the crown), need to be touching a rock or the substrate? Like do that need to attach to something?

I had posted a reply, asking a question, to another thread before realizing it wasn't in the noob forum... anyway, here it is... Feather dusters are here, just drip acclimated them for 3 hours... they're now in the tank. I carefully placed them at the bottom, on some live rock... I think they...

Ok, one more shot here with a bump.... some of you must have successfully had these guys! :notsure:

Originally Posted by CarolH I received three feather dusters in my shipment yesterday. I use a crushed coral substrate (long story why the sand is gone). I placed all three near live rock, and they seem happy thus far. They retract if annoyed and their feathers are happily out waving...

Anyone help on this??

Feather dusters are here, just drip acclimated them for 3 hours... they're now in the tank. I carefully placed them at the bottom, on some live rock... I think they should be on the rock, right? The worm of one dug into the sand, and his crown has appeared. Do they need to be layed a certain...

Seems to be, but I certainly could be wrong. Would a turkey wing be good / bad / neither?

I just ordered a feather duster that will be here in a day. I read they don't like current (from where I bought it)... but you guys say they need the current to bring them food... which is more correct? Maybe a light current?

let's see... seems to be soft... i does move... has almost a fine fuzz covering it. it's brown / black / dark green / tan in color.

It has a split down the middle... seems to be almost bananna shaped except way smaller. I'll try to get a better pic tonight...
