I recently purchased an extremely healthy regal angelfish, which was in perfect shape and and even consuming flake food after a few minutes of being introduced to my tank. I found him this morning stuck onto the intake of a Amp Master 3000 (used for closed loop). The fish was likely there for a...

Bang, I really dislike the large flat rock in the back of the tank. In my opinion, it takes your eye off the rest of the tank. I would try to use a much more uncommon arpoach. The three islands might look better if you connected the two to make two islands -- one smaller and one larger, with a...

I'm sure it's not a Hydnophora. However, It does indeed look like a Pavona. Graham

Krill is much healthier for the anemone than cocktail shrimp. Graham

Lionfish, Do what we tell you to do -- sell the 125 and start working on the 40 gallon. As I said many times before, you cannot afford anything for your 40 gallon. I can imagine what a mess you would be in if you even attempted to setup a 125 gallon. You say you have a paying job, but I simply...

It appears that the worm has aborted its tube. The left tube is empty -- the right is the rest of the worms body. It's definitely a sign that something isn't right -- extremely poor water quality, high amounts of stress, and too much current could all cause this to happen. I believe it is most...

The good news is that my anemone is slowy getting better b/c im feeding him forwen shrimp. Condylactics anemones are fairly hardy, but under improper conditions they can be a hassle to care for. If you wanted an improvement, I would recommend getting rid of the anemone -- now. Feeding it is an...

Originally posted by ViPeR_930 That would be a Lystmata wurdemanni If that's the case, it's either picking at mucus coming from the mouth of the anemone, or it's picking at a dying anemone. Either way, it would be a smart choice to return the anemone. Graham

What's the scientific name of the shrimp you have? Graham

Originally posted by Lionfish12: "i just like to have larger fish, so i dont have a tank with little 1'' fish." The fish will grow. On a side note, the only fish in my 150 is a 1" Austrailian C. viridis and a 1 1/2" Randalls goby. "Maybe I'm just confussed." I'm just as mind boggled as you are...

Originally posted by lionfish12 Ive got it coverd. I recommend saving a lot of your money for accidents which may occure. I recall spending at least $1,000.00 at one time on new ballasts when both of the coils burnt out. I also highly recommend that you make a list of everything you will...

Originally posted by lionfish12 My salt in my saltwater tank is 1.021... Im chaNGING him into full saltwater over a very large period of time so he slowly gets use to it. They will not last very long in full strength saltwater, no matter how long you aclamate them. They had them in a tank with...

Originally posted by FLATZBOY Let it cycle then wait a month, add a fish, wait another month add a fish and so on should take you 6-7 months to get all those fish in there after the cycle. I agree with the above. Lionfish, It can take up to six months for an aquarium to develope the...

To start, they won't last very long in full strength saltwater. Their life span is greatly decreased. I would estimate he would only live a year or two in a salinity of 1.025. They do best in sytems which have salintiy of 1.005. They also fare poorly in systems with high pH (over 8.0). Quote by...

It looks like cyano. Try rubbing it off with your finger -- it should be like slime. Graham

Thank you all for the compliments. Unfortunately, these won't be leaving my tank anytime soon - these are the only zoanthids which I've come to like :) Roadrunner, If you look in the right places, I'm sure you will be able to come across some blue zoanthids. The markets are flooded right now...
