I don't necessarily agree with everything in this post, but I will say this... I have been comming here for advice for about 10 months now... started an account a couple months after I started researching so about 1 1/2 years all together. I can say while every piece of advice here isn't...

Okay to answer my list is: 1 clarkii clown 1 sixline wrasse 1 blue/green chromis 1 purple firefish so 4 is usually considered overload in a tank my size but if you make the right decisions it can be fine. The big decision you have already made to limit yourself to SMALL fish. Firefish are a...

I am no expert but I have a 29gallon tank that I keep a reef in currently (will upgrade in 3 months) and the use of a combination of blue leg hermits (careful expect snail losses), scarlet, nassarius snails, & astrea snails I have a perfectly white/tan top level on my sand bed (live sand)...

thank you for the speedy response... I'll be contacting the manufacturer tmr for some sort of replacement this community never fails to help the home aquarist out :cheer: Thanks again!

Hello all, I have 150W of MH lighting over my 29g reef currently and today it has been randomly shutting off (like once every 1-2 hours). The current is still running to the system as the in unit fan still runs even though the light cuts out, and if I shut off the power to the system for 2-5...

Hey all, I just got a really good deal on my first 2 corals: what the store owner identified as a short tenticale plate coral (yellow/pink elongated like a tounge coral) and a green ricorda mushroom. (possibly something else each mushroom has short pink tips with a green base) I would have...

RO water is reverse osmosis water frequently seen paired with the abreviation DI which has to do with ionization. This can be purchased from some large chain stores (wegmans near me sells it near me) or made through filtering (the way I do it). A typical filter will run you 100-350 dollars...

sounds like cyanobacteria... I just started this year but I had a bout with that stuff when I first started up my tank. The main way to get rid of that is examine a few things you might be doing to contribute to its growth: 1. How much water flow do you have around the areas where the cyano is...

Hello all, After trimming the macro algae growing in my DT I noticed a single zoo polyp (I'm assuming from comparison to pics on this board)... It is starting to come back to life and fully open with my regular ocean snow treatments. My question is will this single polyp be able to reproduce and...

Yeah I used to think that all fish fit into this 'behavior category' however after trying a few fish and attempting to follow the sites fish descriptions as a guide I can safely tell you that EVERY fish will behave independant of the 'usual behavior category' described on any of these sites...

So I have a 29g reef up for about 3 months now... and I'm looking to add one more fish preferably in the bottom of the water column. (yes it matters) I currently have a clownfish(middle of column), 1 green chromis(top of column), and a very friendly 6-line wrasse(rockwork swimmer) that seems to...

My fav fish for a tank early in its maturation is a sixline wrasse thus far... I have a few fish and alot of inverts and watching my wrasse glide through the smallest of openings in all of my rockwork is something to behold and its probably the most colorful fish you can get that is that small...

I havn't noticed the clarkii rubbing on the shrimp first hand... but as I said he spends all night back there right next to him hovering pretty close. During the day he tends to explore like he always has. regardless its pretty funny to watch him feed the shrimp even if he isn't 'hosting' it...

So I'm not sure if this is common occurence or what... I have a fire shrimp in my 29g as well as a clarkii which live in perfect harmony or so I assume as the fire shrimp hides in a little cave in the back of my tank which my clownfish frequents for cleaning ect. So lately my fire shrimp has...

So my girlfriend just bought a fire shrimp (blood shrimp) for our tank (30 gallon reef).... and she wants me to get another kind as she is facinated with it now. Researching the shrimps I found several websites that say blood shrimps will only tolerate a mated pair and will chase away others of...

thanks... i actually saw some of that on my suicide chromis (jumped out of the tank)... I guess thats why he decided to end it all. Thanks for the info :) it put my mind to ease

I just noticed a strange discoloration on my blue/green reef chromis and am curious if it is normal or a sign of a problem. When he passes under the light instead of a solid blue/green color you are able to distiguish lighter/or darker depending on which you consider patches of scales on the...
