Anybody ever had a Lightening Wrasse? (HALICHOERES CHRYSOCEPHALUS) Can't seem to find any info.

Bang Guy, I'm having a similar problem with my skimmer (except mine has been on for almost a year.) What affect do hands have on performance (or parameters in general)?? I've been sticking my hand in twice a day (since I bought a tang) to clip on seaweed.

I'm not a reefer, actually (yet)... but I am interested in the refugia, lagoon concepts for filtration purposes. My question is; What's to prevent me from keeping plants/macros in my main (FOWLR) tank? (Such as Maidens hair (Chlorodesmis sp.), Halimeda, Caulerpa, etc.)

Yes I'm hoping to find a mated pair. Otherwise the chances are probably the same as if I paired them myself.

I see wild caught Clown PAIRS all the time. Anyone know where to find tank-riased? Please help!

Thanks for the reply. It's FOWLR. The only inverts are a sand star and some hermit crabs. I'm fairly sure it's ich because it does look like salt grains under the scales. I read, on another site, that ich won't leave the first host until it gets to a certain stage. So I got her out of there and...

My Coral Beauty had it too after being moved. They say if it's only one eye it's not so bad because it's probably from a physical abrasion/minor injury and will probably clear itself in a week or two. If the other eye puffs up too, then worry. I think I may have scratched the CB's eye with my...

Help! My Coral Beauty has several white flakes, in her scales, that look like tiny salt flakes or dandruff. I've seen Ich start in a similar manner before. However, it happened much quicker in the past. I've been watching this fish for a little over a week and she has maybe three or four tiny...

I used play-sand in a cichlid tank, years ago and it was very attractive! (Plus the fish loved it.) Ever since then I've always used sand for substrate. However, I must agree with BillyJoe. Your sand will be a vital part of your filtration system. Get something that's going to work for you! Now...

(Don't worry I'm not considering the two-pump idea. I just meant that, untill I realized the overflow concept, that's all I could think of.) Yea, I wish I'd have thought of this a long time ago. Looks like I'll just have to wait until I upgrade. I can't quite imagine eptying that tank to drill...

All my filtration is hang-on (and ugly). I didn't know there was any other way untill several months ago when I started asking myself, "Man,that's a nice tank! But where is this guys filtration?" Anyway, I've recently started shopping for a device to overflow into a sump. (At first I was just...

Almost forgot... I bought a Chocolate Chip Starfish while my fish were in the 29. I put it on the Perc's side and two days later, I woke up and it was hanging half-off the glass and every "chip" chewed off and almost a whole leg! Needless to say, the star didn't survive. Is this common? Must I...

Thanks for the reply. I think you're right.

In my 60 gal. fish only, I have two clown pairs: Percula and Tomato. They were each purchased individually at appropriate sizes in hopes of eventually breeding. All four have been tankmates for aprox. 9 months now, including a period of 3 or 4 months that they were seperated by a clear divider...

I have a pair of percs. in my 60gal. and a pair of Tomatos in my 30. I'd like to "combine forces" in the 60 (expense issue) and am wondering about the likelyhood of the two species getting along. Thanks!

I'm planning on breeing clowns also. Shopping for fish again today. I've been reading everything I can get my hands on and I've learned that Clowns are all males untill the dominant/larger one becomes a female. There are a few methods of pairing: 1)One, ofcourse is to purchase a 'mated pair'. I...
