    dusters with choc chip

    I don't have very much LR in the tank, so the tang has a lot of swimming room. Plus several fake plants give him hiding places, sort of like his own private lure course. As for the CC stars, I feed them chunks of shrimp or whatever seafood I have around to keep them from having to strictly...

    dusters with choc chip

    I have a 55gal fowler w/ three choc chip stars & a sand sifting star. I was wondering if the choc chip stars would be the end of the feather duster(s). I also have a yellow tang, 1 damsel, two false perc clowns. Thanks in advance.

    adding water... keep it circulating???

    I keep two 5 gal bottles filled and sealed with saltwater in them for top-offs. The RO/DI water will sit for up to 10 days after I mix it but before being added to the tank. Is it alright to leave it uncirculated? I shake the bottle up quite a bit before adding it to an aquarium so that the...

    Damsel Distress

    I have had a 55gal tank setup w/ 40 pounds of live sand in the bottom. The sand crusted over within a few weeks, so I took the top layer off & shortened the time my lights were on each day (b/c algae crusted the sand over). I had the tank running for about two months (busy with work) and added...

    Fish order

    I've gotta 55gal, I think. It's 4'x 1.5'x 1'. I just added some black sand over the gravel in my tank. Will that kill all the living orgs in the gravel? Should I mix it instead of laying it on top? I have been running my tank for about 9 months now w/out anything but ~20lbs lr. I put sand...
