I got one too to eat algae at the LFS they told me they are harmless however. As I read about the species I saw that experts should keep it only and it could kill my whole tank if it felt threatened. But in my post of algae problem it was listed as one of the solutions I am confused...

That is a great book I've read it too, but I too would be interested in knowing what is the plumbing set up for a sump tank that is underneath the tank. I do not have a sump but the HOB skimmer and the canister filter with 170pound of LR on my 125gal. But I wanted a sump just could not figure...

I got my tank from a online store, run by {edit}. The Rocks came in on time and they where for a very good price. However they where no hitch hikers except for a lot of worms and now I am having a major algae problem. but the rocks cycled in three weeks though I waited another 6 weeks after...

Today I went to a LFS that i had not been to before it was near by in Greenwich CT. When I told them of my problem they strongly recommended me to get a Sea hare, a large Pincushion Urchin (that is what they called it, it looks like a orange Tuxedo), and 3 2’ Mexican Turbo snails. It was the...

Wow this is great to know. Live in Westchester NY, and I found one great store, the fish their looks great and they are really knowledgeable, but they don't have much of a selection and are very price. I was looking at a Snow Flake Eel for $65.00. They do have a guarantee but it is hard to pay...
