Put the rock in a quarantine tank until you can get rid of the aptasia. Maybe put a bunch of pep shrimp in with it.

In my 46 I have: 1 Lawnmower Blenny 2 GSM clowns 1 Flametail Blenny 1 Yellow Dwarf Angel (cant remember exact name) 1 @!#%@* 3 stripe damsel that is mean as can be and i cant catch it! No problems as far as water quality goes. Everyone seems to get along other than the damsel.

It really depends on what kind of mushrooms that you have. Some do well in shaded areas, and other need strong light. Could you take a pic and post it?

I"ve been to the one in Columbus, Ohio. Its a really nice store with friendly people, but VERY expensive.

I havent tested the phosphates because i dont have a test kit for them, but i have been running the phos sponge just as a precaution. Your right, I am having trouble getting good flow in both rear corners.

Ok, here goes. I've only been in this hobby for about 8 months, and i've learned a lot in that time. Im addicted, and now have 3 tanks. The only problem is, my first tank, a 46 gal bowfront. I started the tank before i discovered these boards, and made a lot of mistakes that arent easily...

Here's my 46 thats not really new. Its aobut 8 months old, and my 16 thats only about a month old, but it was just an upgrade from a 5.5, so the cyle went pretty fast. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1..._o2002/1-1.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e1...2/c8e657f9.jpg

I've done it before with only waiting about four hours. I mixed up the water, put in a heater and a Power head while on lunch break. Then when i got home, did the water change. I did a 15 gal change on a 46 gal tank. Everthing turned out just fine. Im sure others will say different, but...

This might sound crazy, but did any of the dead fish have any wounds on them when you found them dead? The reason Im asking is im wondering if you have a Mantis Shrimp. They are very mean and will kill just for the fun of it. Be careful with your hands in the tank as they can leave a nasty...

I have two and Yes, he will eat your macro algae. Lots of it. He wont bother your cleaner shrimp though. I have mine with a sexy shrimp, a skunk cleaner, and fire shrimp, and a peppermint with no problems at all.

If anyone has any pics of there 40 long tanks, post em here. Im getting one next week and I'd like to see some pics just to get some Ideas. Thanks!

Here's a list of what's in my tank with no problems so far (since Dec 15, 05) 1 Bicolor Blenny 1 Yellow watchman Goby 2 Gold Striped Maroon Clowns (mated pair) 1 Eibli Angelfish 1 3 stripe damsel 1 Carpenters Wrase So far no problems. The damsel, maroon clowns, and angel are known to be...

8-9 bucks a lb in Belpre, Ohio.

If your tank is really new, just give it some time. Pods come and go. There will always be some, but explosions in population like that are normal. They'll thin out on there own. I had them so thick in my 5 gal nano that you could hardly see through the glass when i first turned the lights...

Diatom algae. Its harmless, and it will go away with time.

yes

I'd at least buy it and throw it in a rubbermaid tub full of water, a heater and a powerhead to keep the good stuff alive, and no lights for a while. 100 lbs of rock at the lfs around hear would cost me almost 700 bucks!!

ouch.... I'd borrow a generator to run my tank, or buy one. I'd be afraid of it getting too cold.

I have a 46 gal bowfront with about the same amount of rock and sand as you. I currently have this list and everyone gets along fine (othe than the darn damsels). Water Paramaters always stay good with weekly to bi-weekly 5 gal waterchanges, a skimmer, and a HOB power filter. Fish 1 Flametail...
