    Clown behavior??

    I have had them approximately a full month. They appear to be exactly the same size. The only way I can tell them apart is that Troy's black stripes aren't as dark as Emmitt's...and yes. I am a Cowboy fan! They have been great up until today. Watching them both throughout the day it really...

    Clown behavior??

    I have a pair of Ocellaris Clowns that seem quite happy...always eating and swimming about. Last night when I turned off the light, they went to their sleep spot which is at the right end of the tank behind a rock. Today...one of my clowns, Troy I named him, is in the corner at the other end of...

    Shyfish & Meowzer: The one thing I have learned in this hobby is that yes, each particular animal WILL have its own characteristics of what it will do or not do, eat or not eat...while everything i read DOES say that they are not reef safe, my theory is this: I can't really start building up my...

    What kind of Goby is this??

    All of the Diamond Gobies I've found have orange spots on them....could mine just not have developed them yet or can that happen with gobies? Interesting...thanks for the help!

    What kind of Goby is this??

    My friend just returned from massive trip to big city and stopped by her 2 favorite fish stores and brought me this surprise! It was sold as a White Ghost Goby but I can't find any info about one. It just doesn't look like anything I saw on SWF.com or other sites with gobies. Any help would be...

    I'm watching him closely right now....he's staying away from my mushrooms and has been ALL over the tank...so I think I'll leave him be and if he doesn't mess with my shrooms in the next 24 hours I may try to keep him for now until I upgrade my lights.

    Yeah....I just tried to call my lfs and they're already closed. He's cruising all around my shrooms and not showing any interest-YET. Can I float him in a bag in the tank until LFS opens tomorrow?

    I got this star yesterday from a not so lfs....It was mislabeled as a red serpent star...which I now realize it isn't. I HAD researched that red serpent stars would be a good addition to my tank and it's my bad for buying something I couldn't recognize was mislabeled BUT anyway... Can anyone...

    Help me take the next step!

    I'd like to know about low light corals as well and if I can have any with my crappy light: 48" dual light strip with a 32w standard flourescent bulb and 48w MarineGlo bulb. I WILL upgrade at some point, but can't right now...

    3 questions before trip to LFS this afternoon!

    Well, LFS had no crabs (no crabs???) I wish I had been able to read your post Oceanside, as this store only had one Firefish and I opted to not get him. I did get frozen Mysis Shrimp as well as garlic drops for a supplement. Plus a Nitrite and Phosphate test kit. Both of which are at 0....

    3 questions before trip to LFS this afternoon!

    Eric: Yes a peaceful reef tank is the goal. And my tank is a 55 gallon. Glad to hear about the brittle stars....I have looked at them, even had some in the past and might add him to my CUC as well. Are you using the same Nori you would buy in the grocery store? Off-topic question: how do I do...

    3 questions before trip to LFS this afternoon!

    I will be stopping through a neighboring city and going to their LFS later this afternoon. I have not been there but have heard good things about them from friends of mine also in the hobby. I have a small list of things to look for and hopefully get. Just wanted opinions on a few of them... 1...

    What's the best water test kit out there?

    Thanks so much...I'm headed to a nearby LFS later this afternoon and hope to pick up an alkalinity and calcium test, and see what kind of tests they have for more specific elements! I appreciate the advice tremendously!

    What's the best water test kit out there?

    I'd like to get a kit that will test more than just the standard ammonia, ph and nitrates/trites...any recommendations on particular kits? Thanks!
