Currently I have the following: Mated pair True Percula Clowns 2 Small Damsels (one blue, one yellow-tailed) 1 Peppermint Shrimp 1 Cleaner Shrimp 1 Florida Condi Anemone Had a Lemon Peel Angel for the last month but it just died a few days ago for unknown reasons. Fish was completely fine the...

Just got a Lemon Peel a month ago and the fish was doing terrific. Even up until yesterday the fish was eating perfectly fine. Fish shows no signs of ich or any other visible diseases. Went up to the tank this evening and didnt see him anywhere. Found him between two rocks and slowly used a net...

Welll, Beth. You are 100% right. I feel like such an idiot, but I guess that is how you learn. I thought that since my water was established it wouldn't cycle if put into a new tank. Well it's been about 24 hrs, I just got home, and sure enough, ammonia is at about .25. Started off at 0 :(. Put...

I don't understand why this tank will cycle? The water is already established from the other tank. It was my understanding that I could put this in another tank and it would not cycle? What exactly will make it cycle? Maybe I should just take the fish out and acclimate him to my display tonight...

I ended up buying a Lemon Peel Angel. When I got home I emptied out the Eclipse 5 gal. and filled it with water from my display tank. Also put in 2 pieces of PVC (one T piece and one elbow). Checked all levels in both tanks (display and QT). Levels were as follows: Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0...

^^^^^

Right now I just have one peppermint. You would suggest getting two of whatever other shrimp i might get?

Currently have a Peppermint shrimp in my tank. Was thinkin about picking up a blood and/or cleaner shrimp to add today. Will these guys all get along OK? I have a 55 gal. FOWLR.

Beth and company, Was just about to go out to the LFS and purchase a new fish. Levels in my display tank are as follows: Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 40 PH - 8.0 Also checked levels in my QT which is a 5 gal eclipse tank (this will be my first fish to put in the QT). Levels were as follows...

It is my understanding that if you want to have more than one you have two choices. 1) Buy a mated pair, the easiest solution 2) Buy one larger one, and one smaller one and hope the smaller one becomes a male and the pair becomes mated. I, personally, purchased my two percs as a mated pair and...

Anyone have experience growing Caulerpa MacroAlgae in your display tank? Do not want to get a refugium and would like to put a small amount in my display tank. I have read that some of the Caulerpa goes sexual very easily which will cause it to (not sure) dump toxins in the water or start...

My anenome is actually doing very well. It now moves all over the one side of the tank and is almost always fully extended and opened up, whereas when I first got him had a small jump in ammonia (was a little high at about .25) and he would shrivel up to nothing quite often. I definitely notice...

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. I know it is no danger to my fish, but I am more worried about the shrimp and anemone. Even above that, I am just striving for as good of water quality as I can possibly ahieve. If what you are saying is true, then pretty much I can put some of this algae...

The macro-algae won't spread like crazy and become uncontrollable in your display tank? I don't have a tang that would eat it. The clowns and damsels might peck at it if they're hungry, but I'm afraid it would start spreading like crazy and that would be worse than my 40ppm nitrate problem, lol...

Already ordered it yesterday. Should have it by the end of the week I am hoping.

It's a Jungle Test kit.. I will bring water to LFS and test and see what they come up with.

Will the macro-algae in the HOT refugium ever transfer into the tank? I do not want to put this in and have it lower my nitrates, but then be chasing algae out of my tank full-time, lol. All of the HOT refugiums I've seen are about $90 plus about $60 for a lighting. Don't want to spend the $150...

My Nitrate level has been at 40ppm since about 2 week after I initially setup my tank. My tank has been setup for approx. 2 months now and all my levels have been at 0 for some time now except for my Nitrate level. I know that 40ppm is not deadly but I would be much happier with a Nitrate level...

They won't eat my feather dusters will they?

Yeah.. I know I've needed one for a while now. Used my uncle's when I first setup my tank and it was so nice to have around. Been using the swing-arm since and it's such a pain in the neck. You can get a different reading everytime you test. Will be so much nicer when I won't have to keep...
