    Not your normal aptasia question..

    Aptasia is capable of getting as large as 4", for sure! My own aptasia story is my 55 gal. I have not added any LR for about 2 years, the tank has been up for 3 years. I recently moved and upset (mildly put) some things and now have aptasia that is growing like, well, weeds. The only other...

    Anybody ride bikes? (motorcycles)

    This bike is an '83, I am a '63 and we are both still on the road! A couple of thoughts...Invest in a good safety course (they actually teach you how to use BOTH brakes) and once you are on the road, ride like you are invisible.

    Getting clown goby to eat

    It is true about the brine shrimps nutritional value..just about nil. If you feed pellets/flake as well, that is probably what is sustaining your livestock. How big is the goby? BTW "Yeah, I've got lots of that. Last I heard, though, clown gobies don't eat live rock."

    Sleeper Banded Goby looking a little thin.

    He is a carnivore and brine shrimp alone will starve him. If he is smaller, give him thawed frozen mysis shrimp. If he is larger, you may even try some bits of thawed frozen silverside.

    Whats the most important "thing" you've learned

    I don't know yet. Still learning.... I greatly admire people with the patience for, and knowledge of, corals. That is an art of aquarists.

    bristle worms

    There are several families that will tend to help with controlling populations of worms. Big however, here: When you have a fish that can eat a bristle worm, chances are good that they come with their own set of issues. What size is your tank and what fish do you have now? What corals?

    Seahorse Diet

    Hi Darthtang! I think brine shrimp are acceptable as an addition to staple diets; I agree mysis is the most likely accepted. While I do agree that ghost shrimp, feeder fry, etc are good live food supplements, my experience is that it is difficult to find these animals in a consistent size for...
