I guess Chromis are damsels (at least in the damsel family). I'm fairly sure I could catch mine quickly. He and the percs are best buds. He's the first to wake in the mornings. Pretty funny scene to see him come out from behind my overflow box (his sleeping quarters), wakes the Lady perc who...

I got up this morning and noticed this grain like thing on my lawnmower blenny's fin. He has been in the tank since November I think. The last new thing put in the tank was a zoanthid - December 18th. It looks bigger than salt....but smaller than a grain of rice (same shape as rice tho). He...

Originally Posted by paintballer768 Yea, as far as storage goes, the red 5 gallon gas containers are what I use. Ya need to devote them to only salt water though, because gasoline in your tank would just be a big mess :) I bet! I got them from the LFS (5 gal cont) and they mixed the SW up...

Originally Posted by NOTSONOOB I believe they state to agitate them, to ensure that the salt is mixed well. You can heat it with a heater to room temperature. If you keep the water in containers for a week, I doubt anything bad will happen to it. It isn't like you are bioloading the water. I...

I bumped another post regarding saltwater that I thought I would expand on, but my last question wasnt answered, so I'm trying my own post now. I know from several other posts you can keep saltwater stored in containers that are loosely capped. It was stated that you have to keep them stirred up...

bump please

Sorry to bring this thread back up....I read something about keeping saltwater, maybe it was in this thread. My question is do you have to keep the stored saltwater mixture mixing? I have (4) 5 gal containers of saltwater waiting for my water change. They are loosely capped, so will they be...

Mine follow my finger on the glass wherever I take them - I know they'd love for me to pet them, but I resist them! Big meanie that I am. The male will take mysis shrimp from my fingers tho.

Originally Posted by alix2.0 mine like to swim against (i know thats spelled wrong but i cant figure out how...) the powerhead's current and then turn around and zoom to the other side of the tank. then back again. she does this for hours at a time. FYI.....spelled it right!

Originally Posted by joeyg2100 How do you guys get your water from the LFS to your house? I have no clue how to get 30 gallons of water to my house My LFS puts in 5 gal cont. for me - so I'd tote home 6 jugs or you could buy some and take it to them to fill.

Originally Posted by SCSInet Well honestly this sounds like a mantis. A pistol shrimp is another possibility, but they make the noise to defend their territory, so they'll make it anytime day or night, and they also usually do single pops, two at the most. Have you put any new live rock (or...

Originally Posted by jrthomas40 what size heater do you have??? either get 2x200w 1 in the tank and one in the sump or get a 300w heater to put in the tank It is 300w it's before the sump area tho of the wet/dry

I have a terrible time with tempatures in my tank. Therm is set on 80 and during the day with lights on it gets there, sometimes a little over but not to 81, then at night it makes it all the way down to 76. We keep our house pretty cool, but the therm should be working better than that in my...

Originally Posted by rkesling I will be traveling about 2 and a half hours to purchase a tank set up. My question is about the LIVE ROCK and LIVE SAND. It is over 100lbs of live rock and 50-100lbs of live sand. I plan to transport it in some rubbermaid containers in the back of an open truck...
