I'd say yes... looks like a tiny replica of the pink/yellow version I have sitting at the bottom of my tank.

The cycle: First ammonia spikes (due to LR/LS die off or decaying matter) ammonia dies off nitrites rise nitrites peak nitrites get converted into nitrates nitrates peaks and nitrites become non-existant END OF CYCLE. when nitrates are all that is left in your tank then you can do 1 of 2 things...

To be safe independantly cylce every new rock/sand addition unless you have personally witnessed its holding area and that it will not contain die off. Especially since your running a bio-cube less water is less room for error. Cycle everything in a seperate container with a powerhead and a...

If I were to pick one thing I regret about my current setup that I'm going to rectify when I move tanks its the blue-legs in the DT. They killed my entire population of nass. snails despite ample feeding ground and extra shells. I think once they get the taste of murder they just start doing it...

Just off the top of my head: 1. Sand could contain dead organisms thus creating a small ammonia spike if not cycled properly. 2. If new sand is added on top of current sand it reduces the area active with live beneficial bacteria since you just buried a whole lot of surface area. It also covers...

1.) Reduce feeding to every other day... or at least reduce the amount you feed at one time. 2.) Reduce lighting to 3-6 hours a day. 3.) Check for phosphates. If present seek out phosphate remover pads. 4.) Pull as much algae as you can pulling from the roots near the rock. Be sure to pinch it...

I can't post pics now as my lights are off. I ordered the medium amount (about a year ago) and it had some coraline coverage and alot of little critters including a very nice paly polyp that has since split into a colony of 7. The largest pieces in my shipment were 1 foot across and half a...

So my gf just got me a big tank for my B-day... the guy who sold it to her drilled bulkhead drains just under the waterline and told her they would be good for a 1.5" bulkhead. and then some questions came up: 1. should both bulkheads be used for drain or one for drain and one for return? 2...

Hey all, My gf just got me an upgrade tank... 90g for my bday! I was curious about ppl's success rate with fuzzy dwarf lionfish in a reef environment. I'm sure many ppl will point out that it is not necessarily a reef-safe fish, but I want to know if anyone has broken the rules and found it to...

you could juice them worked great for the ones I had hitching on my LR

thanks for the second opinion! I'll keep the faith and hopfully I'll have a success story down the road.

They are great... I bought one really big tan colored emerald crab (he turned green about 2 months later in my tank and doubled in size). Only problem is that if you ever did want to get him out for some reason they are nimble as all hell, and very defensive against large predators as they...

I got this for almost nothing at my LFS because the tank it was in had zero chance of improving its appearance. I'm very convincing when I want to be so he gave me the 7 lb rock (picture is just of an arm of it) with 6 different colored colonies for 7$. 4 of the colored colonies have...

Here is a photo hopefully of the section that I am worried about in the zoos... if you have any suggestions or can identify what is wrong from this let me know

So I got a great deal or at least I thought it was a great deal on some super colored polyp rock green + orange morphs. But some of the polyps are fully closed and have like a brown tinge on the outside like rust on them (I assume that indicates death?) So my question is will these possibly...

I have seen mine eat everything from flakes/pellets that get missed by my fish to the nori sheets I hang for my blenny. However you would rather have your snails taking some burden out of your tank maintance rather than becoming a constant worry regarding their deitary requirements, so your...

society for prevention of cruelty to animals I think... its the same people you can call if you find a pet who has been abandoned or starved. They can also be called on pet stores (at quite an alarming rate if PETA gets on their ass enough)

Okay I posted in the other thread here is something I watched go down in front of me... Customer: Hey do you guys have any like large aggressives (not sure if this was proper grammer but there it is) Employee1: Do you mean agressive fish? Customer: Yeah Employee1: Saltwater or Freshwater...
