can you propogate encrusting sponge? we have a lot of orange and red and purple encrusting sponge on some live rock and want to get it to grow on a decorative piece of fake sponge, anybody know how to do this??

we have a large rock with several cabbage leather corals on it and one of them has shrunken significantly and has turned from its pinkish hue to a purple color, been like this for a couple of days. the other ones look okay in general but a few of them have the purple around the rim at top. are...

i was wondering what and how often do you guys feed your corals? specifically frogspawn colt cabbage leather clove polyps red open brain fox thanks all! :)

Borneman is good, I also like the Marine Atlas by Baensch, its a volumed set of books that includes thousands of corals, inverts, fish, etc. hard to find and contains some scientific stuff, but also very informative for aquaria.

a lot of different fish can go in there, they dont seem aggressive except slightly when its feeding time. they seem to get euphoric from the smell of food. some people will say not to put them in with aggressive triggers ( clown, queen, undulated ) because the trigger might find the eel to be...

have fun with it and make sure its sturdy and wont get knocked over by big fish, eels, etc. if you already have fish or inverts it makes it really hard but if youre just now aquascaping then you have all day to rearrange and make it something you like. i dont recommened epoxy or glue, simply...

it depends on the anemone, some move around a lot and may sting corals. cnidarians sometimes fight, so which anemones do you want to put in? also, you will have to find a new home for your yellow tang as he gets bigger, a 58 is not big enough imo, unfortunately. but the anemone sounds cool...

the natural look is good. i dont have a picture of ours but we have a massive reef with side wall next to a huge cove-like structure. its in a big 90g tank. i think it depends on what fish you have and inverts. if you want to keep corals make sure you plan spaces for them to go, its hard to...

thanks. I've heard a lot about this pairing or grouping of shrimp, but will a scarlet (lysmata ambionensis) and blood pair up together? They haven't yet found eachother. And also, do you think 2 scarlets, 2 bloods, and 3 peppermints is too many for a 90 gallon? That seems like a lot of...

wednesday night i was at the royalton rd fish store and since you were from cleveland and had pictures of you and your girl i thought you looked familiar at the store. just wonderin if you were there and if so if you think that is the best place in cleveland area to buy fish/corals/etc. thanks...

we have one cleaner shrimp, a blood shrimp, and 3 peppermints in our tank. we rarely ever see any of them, they never walk around, and the cleaner wont clean. after rearranging rock he finally stays in a spot where we can see him but the only fish he cleans is the lionfish, even if the others...

thanks mlm. we are tryin to make this low-maintenance cuz the 90g is enough work, but another tank i think is good to have because of the reef/aggressive setups. that is a lot of rock, i guess we could do a skimmer. thanks also, can we use a lot of southdown and then say 50 pounds of live sand...

we have a 90g set up and its not really reef or aggressive set up, its a little bit of both and we want to separate it cuz we recently got a blood shrimp and never see it or the others cuz theyre scared and the clowns are scared too of our lionfish and snowflake. so, we have a 29g and i was...

we were thinking about trying to set up a massive 220 or 265 gallon tank around spring/summer in addition to ours right now, we need a reef and aggressive, cuz we're beginning to worry about murders in our tank that may happen soon. anyway, if we go for the 265, can we put in a ton of live rock...

anybody else?

anybody have a 90gal tank or something around it with pics. we were wonderin how much rock and wanted to see how its arranged, doin some remodeling soon! ideas on aquascape and pics would be great!! thanks :)

anyone know why one day this site has the fish and inverts page which gives pictures, info, etc and ordering from there up and then the next day, its only the u-build it??? why can i only build this package? what if i only want one fish?

tangs in angels are fine imo. but put the tang in after the angel, especially if the tang is larger when you get him. flames are small but will claim some territory and then the tang can go in. our tang and angel graze algae all day together, theyve become really good friends. its fun to...

weve ordered a couple of times here in cleveland and just recently got everything from the fedex guy that walked up the driveway in snow. everything was warm and fine. acclimate slow and youll be good to go. weve been very happy with SWF. :)

clowns are awesome and a blast to watch. they wiggle and do some really funny stuff all day. you can feed frozen brine and they do fine. also, dwarf angels are cool. dont get a big angel, a 75g is too small. the dwarfs need frozen brine and algae which they sell as sheets, you can put in...
