    How often do you feed your fish.

    I've always fed 3 times a day, when I turn on the lights, when I get home, and a hour or so before lights out. The most important thing for the systems' bioload is to only feed what they can completely finish in less than 5 minutes.

    My New Seahorses

    Aren't they happier in pairs? You don't really need anything live for them to hang on, coral skeletons are fine. They really like sea fans too, you can get plastic coated ones. IMO, that is a good tank to keep them in. The don't need a long tank for swimming, and the tall things you put in for...

    Mine ate flake food! I have always fed 3 times a day anyway. When I turn the lights on, when I get home, and, an hour or so before lights out. I have always kept them in groups with only 1 male. I love anthias, they are beautiful and interesting. A male and a group of females swimming in a...

    is 82 degrees to high

    Yeah, that's kind of high. You call it a reef tank and mention what you don't have in it, but what do you do have in it. For some things 82 may be ok and others it's not.

    darn clowns

    NO! Only they know how to do it without getting killed. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

    Starting an Aquarium Setup and Maintenance Business

    How do you know nobody does it? Start hitting all the medical buildings looking for tanks and see if any of them don't already have a "maintained by" sticker on them. I bet you run into a few Aquarium Adventure ones. You'll have to get a vendors license and then find a wholesaler that will sell...

    Most Overrated Band/s of all time?

    U2. They have used the same guitar chord in every song that ever hit the radio. They're like the McDonalds of rock, they're not popular because they're good, it's because they have so little flavor it's hard to find anything you don't like about them. UNO! DOS! TRES! AGUJEREADO!

    Starting an Aquarium Setup and Maintenance Business

    I knew quite a few people that have done this, some small, some huge. If it's just you doing the actual labor you're better off doing it as a call me when you need me basis than having yearly contracts. I've known a lot of guys who discovered that maintaining other peoples tanks is back breaking...
