I am noticing a few things: 1) The fish do like the aeration 2) The aptasia do NOT like the aeration. The aptasia do, however, like the sponge that protects the intake on the PH Sweep. I will be 1 less aptasia tonight. 4 days in. Still quite a road ahead.

Beautiful! All are kelloggi?

Could be a h. fuscus with the markings. They really aren't stripes but marbling...more spots than stripes?

Photo 2 makes me think you have a little male. Nice and healthy looking, either way! Species is such a tough one. Kuda's are not usually striped, are they?

I have quite a few thoughts on this theory, Zeke. When I mentioned this in my starting over, I did not think it would be an issue. I have thought and posted regarding SW mollies before, and generally folks have not been in favor. I do not recommend, suggest, endorse jumping into this without...

After the deaths of my two girls last fall/winter (2006), I think I am ready to SH up again. I have let the tank go, kind of, but here is current reality: 55 gal sugar sand substrate, solid 2" 90 lb live rock, tonga branch +/- Orbitz T5 lighting 2 powerheads Residents: 1 tomato clown, 1 chromis...

Hi Krazekajin. Kelloggi are fairly large SH who can be fairly deep water species. The depth they live in probably depends upon their individual size. They will grow to 7 inches or so, but can grow larger. Your tank should accomodate 3X+ their maximum adult height if there is any chance you might...
