I have a question for you stuckinfla. I have one feather duster. It's tube is about the same diameter as a dime. Haven't had it long (couple months) but it's been doing well, I thought. About 3-4 weeks ago it looked like it was dividing. The crown (is that what the "feathers" are called) which...

okay Imma dork and am going to BTT my own thread Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? :thinking:

cool! :)

I've got a 55 gal (I know don't even start LOL) with 2 clowns, about 60 lbs of live rock, hermits, a feather duster, two sand stars, and turbo snails. After MUCH loss of life a couple months ago (due to overstocking and BAD advice from my LFS) we're just sitting on these guys. Not adding...

Can I give you a piece of advice (or many pieces) ? GO SLOW. VERY slow. This is a (painfully) slow hobby. Once you truly understand AND ACCEPT that you'll have a much higher success rate and more fun. what do I mean by slow?...well first your tank must cycle. You should get live rock(unless you...

Dont listen to any LFS employee. Or owner for that matter. LISTEN TO BETH. Read everything's she's posted on ICH in the FAQ forum. Do that and you'll know exactly what to do.

Sorry for posting then going MIA. Been super busy. Nothing is dead in the tank. I'm probably over feeding. My clowns are little piggies and get all sad looking when I skip a day. I've been feeding them in the evening. I put in enough to finish within 3 minutes or so. Not more. I guess I'll have...

Seriously, I'm feeling like I should be so done with this hobby. K. here's the facts. Had this guy for about 2 months, maybe a bit longer. In a pretty new tank. Finished first cycle only about 6 months ago. It's a 55 gal (I know I know) Have about 50 lbs of LR. No LS have 2 percula clowns only...

Originally Posted by SankysYuck So maybe if you have a 10 or 20 gallon (try to get the tallest possible available tank, they like tallness) you could get maybe 10 or 20!

If I could jump back in here... As a newbie I read (most of) the FAQ thread when I had my ich incident. And it really was overwhelming. Even more overwhelming was taking what I had learned there and asking SPECIFIC questions on the board. Each question I asked got either led to another question...

they are unsuitable for my tank because it's just not established enough. And I don't quite have enough live rock. After than I stopped finding reasons LOL

Originally Posted by Beth Do you still need help? Not really. We lost the Hippo in transfer to the QT. BUt I learned a lot! You could answer a couple general questions though, if you want ;) If you can't (shouldn't) net your fish how do you get them out? Fish trap? How do you ensure you get...

Originally Posted by Beth Is there something I should add to it? ***paragraph removed for clarity*** Ick is usually not immediately fatal, nor is treating it going to have immediate results, so hobbyists do have time to digest all the info posted in the FAQ pertaining to ich. Probably just...

Not that it really matters Beth, but I REALLY DID read that thead before I posted my couple threads about ich the other day. Seriously, it's a lot to take in. And when you are at a point that you NEED to read it panic is usually a factor, which diminishes comprehension. For me at least I still...

they were black. And each was about 5" across. I wish I could have brought them to you :)

While I was at the LFS picking up a book (and YES, ONLY a book as my tank is 'resting' as I call it after my ich incident) when I asked the guy next to me what he had in his 5 gal bucket. He stepped aside showing me his two AMAZING brittle stars. He said he was bringing them back because they...
