You have a "rose" BTA. It will host any Clownfish I know of. I agree with what you were advised, A. Percula is the most docile Clownfish followed closely by A. Ocellaris. Have you Considered a Cinnamon Clown?

Moved to Clownfish & Anemone. Let me know if you want it moved to somewhere else.

Looks like a Calcium or Carbonate overdose.

A couple things you can do to help with residue. 1 - Ensure the water is cold. Tough in the summer sometimes but the colder the better. 2 - Stir the water vigorously while slowly adding the salt to the water. Don't rely on a powerhead to mix the salt into the water, powerheads are better at...

They do eat pods but not a lot. Usually they stay hidden in the dark on the bottom of rocks. I leave them as I enjoy the diversity of critters.

Caribbean Mushroom.

Luck!

Woot!

:cool:

I agree with all of the above. Hermit Crabs are predatory omnivores with a fondness for fresh meat. Typically though, snails can protect themselves for all but a gang of hermits. Were the snails weakened in any way? Perhaps osmotic shock from a rapid acclimation, copper from tap water, low...

That's great!

35 years ago I was using live rock, macro algae to remove nutrients, VHO lighting, a home made skimmer. Did not have a deep sand bed. My substrate back then was basically reef rubble resembling crumbled up live rock. The guy you describe sounds like someone I would listen to and love to learn...

It's personal preference.

In my opinion our small tanks are about as much of a closed system as the typical house.

They are strict herbivores. Think of them as a slow moving VERY thorough snail. They really scour all algae off a rock. They make a "home groove" for them selves and go back to that spot every night. This can be a problem if they choose a spot on an acrylic tank. They really scratch up the...

It's a chiton.

K got it, ignore me this time :p

Wouldn't it be healthier for the tank to let Calcium drop low while trying to maintain a healthy Alkalinity level?

Thanks for that... not sure how I left that out. :oops:

100% is fine, just be sure to match temp & PH on larger water changes.
