Agreed. The only time I have ever seen overhangs or shade mentioned are when you are talking about nonphotosynthetic corals like sun corals. They do not need or like lighting, period. When they say shade from MH lights that means that MH is way too strong and it would need to be down low. But...

Yes. That would be EXTREMELY unlikely. Is your shark showing any weird behaviors? It would be almost impossible for the shark to eat him without getting stung several times. But......how big was the lion compared to the shark?? Also those sharks are more likely to go after crustaceans on the...

The tusk is prolly going to go after any invert it can get unless it is really large but the bluethroat tends to not be as bad. I would make sure they cannot fit them into their mouth and you will be fine.....

That would be the EXACT reason I do not have one. I don't need any pets that can actually cause me serious harm like oh say a blue ring octopus or something silly like that...lol. No crazy attack anemones or anything, thank you.

They can live without them but they are going to feel really exposed if you don't have some nice hiding places. I think the thing is for me, that I live to simulate their environment as much as I can even if they are in a box. So the totoka rock is a way of giving them that without them killing...

The cost of the fights is why we always do UFC parties. That way no one gets stuck with the whole thing.........it is spendy for sure... I was so bummed about Mir.....I reallly like that guy, and not just because he is hot as hell. Sure he is cocky as most UFC guys are but he was gracious in...

You do not need special light if you don't have corals. They only reason you would pick special light is if you wanted more color range or light for the fish. You can use pond mesh or eggcrate as a cheap top unless you have an eel, octopus, or some other escape artist. They can get out unless...

It honestly sounds like you are dealing with oxygen deprivation. Do you have a skimmer on the tank? If not, then you might want to add one for oxygen exchange. But you have several large fish so I am going to assume you do. Have you thought about adding another PH and aiming it at the top for...

Wow, it does look like it is splitting.....that could be your answer to everything. The clown would not host until after it heals up and from what I hear they look pretty bad when they are splitting for a while. The other answer may that it's foot was torn or damaged. Is their any way that could...

Adorable!! Hopefully he learns to coexist peacefully with the other fish. They prolly know what's up. They don't want to piss him off now in hopes he'll let them live later....lol. Kind of like a baby serial killer....lol

I believe this is just another way of do ing a DSB. Ideally you would do this in your sump. You could make it easier on your self and just stack some egg crate and pour the sand in on top of it so that the lower layers couldn't be affected or moved around. You would just have to make it really...

Oh yeah...capet anemones are a different story entirely. I think they are one of the only ones aggressive enough to actually attack a human. A friend of mine was moving a large one (12 inches) from one tank to another and it latched onto his arm and started actually pulling the skin off. When...

In a small tank like that you may have a problem. I agree with the comment about making sure that you add them together, so I would order them all at the same time so you can get the different colors. My green and yellow one would chase each other a little bit but besides that nothing, however...

You can try moving it somewhere so it can attach itself. I actually put the foot of mine into a rock and turned the PH's away from it so that it would be able to attach itself. Oh and FYI I have handled my anemone several times to move it into the tank(once) and feed it and it has never stung...

Well, like a few of my previous posts have expressed my little yellow goby, Peanut died last night. CUC took care of him quickly. I believe he had some parasites or worms that were slowly killing him. Poor little guy, he just wasted away to nothing over the last month or so. Everything else in...

Some research into that particular species of starfish might have really done you some good because they are the least reef safe of any of the commonly kept stars in this hobby. They will eat anything that they can catch. I am extremely surprised that you did not see any deaths prior to this...

I couldn't agree more about the Lesnar/Mir fight. I think Lesnar is a freaking imbecile whos only advantage is his weight and strength. I hope Mir breaks his dam-n femur.....ahem, as you can see, he irritates me..lol. Plus, someday Mir will be my husband....God I love that man. Really hawt and...

With all the problems you have been having, I would strongly suggest that you let your tank sit fishless for 6 weeks to 2 months. This may take longer than you want and is riskier because of how resistant some parasites are but is the cheapest way to go. Corals and Inverts will be fine. Any...

Thats right!! All about me me me!!

Sometimes he will but only the green one. I think it has to do with the way I feed them like we said before.
