Mine WAS kool, but he didn't last very long because of my nitrates. He was my first fish. I was dumb and bought it before reading up. They like to use their fins to scoot around and sit on rocks while waiting for prey.

I'd say that is good enough reason for me!!!! LMAO. GOOD LUCK SWF!!!

Bang will know.

Cleaner shrimp clean your fish not the algae. And, yes to are fine. You need a clean up crew for the algae. Crabs and snails eat the algea. Get about 3 snails and 8 hermits to start with and see what they do.

Have you checked your water for ammonia? It could be a mantis shrimp. Listen for clicks or pops after the lights are turned off.

Yes, you need more light. Go to the reef section and the replies will be better.

Sounds like cyano, IMO. If it is then you could get lucky and catch it fast or it can spread thoughout the tank. There are a bunch of post on this board to search for help. I have been trying to get rid of a bad case of Red Slime, "Cyano" for quite a while. I've been doing more water changes...

I'd like to ask you a few questions about your education. I'm going to school now for an AS with the goal of attending USM-Stennis Space Center for masters.

I'm just curious as to how much this set up is costing you? I have a building that is roughly 40 by 20 ft and am kinda wanting to build some sort of pool, but I don't know what species I want to house. Is your set-up in ground or above ground, and how are you building it? OK I just reread you...

Mattiej, This is way off the subject, but where did you go to school? And, what is your major? My goal is to attend grad school at the university of southern miss- stennis space center. Have you heard or know anything that you think I should know before planning my future around this...

I feed scallops more than anything but it will eat anything I put in the tank, even flakes. I think I'm feeding enough. Most days he gets some sort of food twice per day.

What is a fuscus?

Originally posted by Birdy Well first I will tell you to post this in the disease and treatment forum, they are the most knowlegeable about treating these things. The only thing I can think of is that the coppersafe somehow killed off the biological filter. I don't know what type of parasite...

I've been in the proccess of setting up a QT over the past month. It has been fully cycled with shrimp. And the filter was seeded from my display before the setup started. I added CopperSafe 2 days ago and did water tests today to ensure that I could put the fish in. The trates went from 0...

My bad on the NO2, I did mean NO3. My trates are at 7.5 and trites at 0. Ph8.2 and Ammonia 0. Sorry for the confussion ivanfj and everyone else. I changed the location of my single ph and got a little bit of the cc out last night. After I was finished the filter cartridges were changed in...

My picasso will eat anything I put in the tank that is supposed to clean up. There are a few hermits that have adapted to him and only come out at night to eat. My trates have went from 0 to 7.5 in a month though. Maybe if you buy a whole lot of big ones they will learn to sleep during the...

Originally posted by sailfin Could you please tell me where you got your unit and how much it cost? I would love to get one, but I don't want to tear up my sink to install it. :D You can also run your unit off the ice maker on the frige. I talked to the guy that runs the machine at walmart...

Well, I noticed some die back in algae in my tank today and performed water tests. My nitrates were around 7.5 ppm so I'm gonna try to start a long process of removing cc. I have 40 lbs ls and 20 lbs cc. Guess the cc is causing NO2 to rise. Any input would be nice if you think there could be...
