White aragonite sand is my preference. Are you sure? It usually makes FW tanks too hard.

I think Christy meant AmQuel. Something I believe should only be dosed during extreme emergencies.

My understanding is they have an extended pelagic stage where they require a constant supply of microscopic protozoans as food. How are you going to move them to the rearing tank?

If your current sand bed if healthy and live (full of critters) it's worth it to keep the top 1/2" of sand. You need to keep it warm and healthy though with waterflow.

:cool: That is awesome!

SuperGlue Gel (cyanoacrylate) and Marine Epoxy. For the rock I'd suggest the epoxy. It won't stick perfectly but it's enough to hold rocks together.

Hi Mike, Are you in Sierra Vista? for meaty seafood, any raw seafood from the grocery store will work. I'd shy away from freshwater fish but squid, salmon, scallops, etc. will work great. Just a small chunk will keep the shrimp happy for hours. Don't over do it or you could have water...

I also agree. For saltwater the extra front to back inches (depth) makes a really big difference.

A 120 is definitely at the minimum I would suggest. They will eat most corals and inverts. With the Eel I assume you don't have many inverts but didn't know if you have corals. The are not easy to feed. Especially with fast hungry fish like you have. It will get along with them, I just...

In my opinion there is no need for you to feed Marine Snow. Spot feeding most corals isn't required but it will speed up growth. Give your Shrimp a meaty piece of seafood before you spot feed corals. It will give them something to chew on so they don't disturb the coral. Having them reach...

I see something that looks like ammonia damage. What are your latest water parameters?

Hi, see if the store will accept the fish you have left. Do a 100% water change. Start over with another pair of clownfish (same species, smaller the better) Be happy with just the pair of clownfish, never add more fish. That really is all your 16 gallon can handle.

The Eel has an immune system that can keep the disease at bay. It could have actually been the Eel that brought it to the tank in the first place.

I suggest checking Temperature, PH, Alkalinity, Calcium on a regular basis. Less regular would be Magnesium and Nitrate. If there is a problem and you are trying to diagnose then test others like Phosphate, Ammonia, Nitrite, Copper, Silicate, etc. These do not need to be tested regularly but...

Welcome back! We love build threads ;)

Woot! They look sweet now!!:cool:

The opposite direction can also work. A Barnacle Blenny or some Neon Gobies are small enough that they are not a threat and can easily hide in tiny holes in the rock if needed.
