    AM i Ready for fish??

    Because then you know you won't kill and/or cause harm to the animal that you buy. It is a moral thing. Some people don't care, some do. I, personally, would give it another couple days after adding a little food. Test and then if you are 0 with everything, you are good to go!

    So - Got my butt kicked today...

    If you are doing weight lifting properly, you do get cardio from it. A rapid weightlifting circuit of about 30 to 45 minutes with little rest in between sets is one of the best and most time efficient ways of working out that there is. You build muscle, get your heart rate up, sweat and burn fat...

    OMG OMG OMG Michael Jackson in Cardiac Arrest!

    If we are going to start debating whether or not he was a child molester, then this could become a very long and drawn out thread. However, let me say this. Psychology was my major in college and specifically se-xual psychology and deviations therein. One prominent theme with people who abuse...

    OMG OMG OMG Michael Jackson in Cardiac Arrest!

    For all of his faults, I am saddened by his death. I was not a huge fan of his but he brought some amazing contributions to our world. I prefer to remember him for all the good that he did, not the things he may or may not have done. He will be greatly missed by those that loved him. RIP MJ

    what to do clown eggs?

    Pretty much....very unlikely that without special care any of the eggs would survive. Read up on the breeding threads here and you will see how hard it is for most people to keep even 10% of their hatchlings. They just don't make it. Makes you wonder how they even make it in the wild.

    My LFS store wants $9.99 lb for their live rock?

    That is not ridiculous for live rock but it is a little on the high end for sure. I have paid 12/lb for a rock before but it is the nicest one in my tank. Most of the time I see rock for sale for around 7/lb or so. You can definitely find it cheaper though. I know someone who sells it for around...

    What kind of fish to add next

    I am wondering if this thread is a joke actually. If it isn't I apologize. I am not trying to be mean. All of these fish are really inappropriate for this tank except the lion and a 75 is pushing it a bit if you have a volitan. please take these fish back very soon and get some fish more...

    mandarin eating frozen!

    I would say it should, yes. You will just need to have some places for them to reproduce so that they don't get eaten before they can breed.

    Fu Manchu Lion

    sorry to hear about the loss...:( They are hard to wean onto frozen for sure....and they get stressed really easily.

    How To Take Care Of Inverts, Corals & Fish From Another Person's Tank

    Okay, one of the first things we will need to know is what are you feeding and how often? Variety of foods is key with saltwater fish. I would go with a variety of meaty and vegetable matter. Mysis, krill, clam, brine, emerald diet, cyclops (good for corals), and some others would be excellent...

    anenome that sits still?

    The key to getting anemones to stay put is creating the tank around them. First make sure you know what type of anemone you are getting and then make sure parameters and placement are ideal. My BTA never moved after I placed it which I am sure is partially lucky on my part, however, I placed...

Don't people assume that glass would hurt if it broke?? Idiots.....that is one of those things where...

    Receding Duncan

    I would say the spot feeding is what is doing it for you......I also spot feed mine and they grow a new head every 2 weeks to a month.....but the white is indicative of bleaching....

    Receding Duncan

    I would say if it turning white then your lighting is not sufficient. You could try spot feeding it to help until you can upgrade your lighting If all you have is PC lighting then that is not enough to keep a duncan.

    Anyone have Aiptasia?

    +1 on the advice for aiptasia......bad bad bad idea to introduce it to your tank!!! That would be asking for all kinds of problems. And.....it can sting and even kill fish honestly. Definitely go with the xenia!

    Cowfish - possible issue??

    Definitely not.....that is like saying all you need is dry cereal the rest of your life........they need meaty foods as well as greens. Mysis, krill, clam, shrimp with vitamins added. there is more than that you could add too. I would also add seaweed salad as soon as you are able...

    Purpose of anemone crab?

    I have a setup similar to yours actually. I have a BTA with a porcelain crab hosting it but my two percs have never even looked at my anemone honestly being as they were tank raised. My crab is not extremely active and they do not stray from the anemone at all. They are extremely protective over...
