Sorry, about not feeding live food. Where did you find that out?

Originally posted by broomer5: <strong>Hi CoolPerson, lastly - how old is the this tank ?</strong><hr></blockquote> It's 3 years old? Look in his profile. It says years in hobby-3. That might be months, days, weeks, years? Just look in the profile. All the info is there...

Thanks Anthem sooo much! Now i know NOT to feed live food. your little "speach" had a lot of info about feeding live and frozen foods. Where did you get the info on that anyway?

OH! Now we are gettin somehwhere! Sounds much more like calcium now. Check you levels for calcium. It should be between 400-450ppm. I would not be suprised if it is at 600ppm <img src="graemlins//uhuh.gif" border="0" alt="[U-Huh]" /> . Also, you said you added a buffer? For what level did you...

HMMM. I would think it was coraline, but the fact that it is in streaks and grows really fast sounds a lot like calcium. Coraline doesnt grow that fast, DOES IT?

Took me 10 minutes of investagation. Im an 100%sure on this.They are getting ready to mate. The first sign is the MALE jercking one way and another for about 1 day, then the FEMALE kicks in and does the same thing to show that she is ready. There is no reason to be worried. This proccess could...

Brine is good only when you are adding different foods as well. You want to feed a viried diet to the fish like brine, blood worms, shrimp, krill, squid, sea weed, algea, flake, and LF(live food). These are the best foods to feed, and should be fed daily. Hope i helped !

Calcium is a good thing :rolleyes: , not bad. Well, it is bad only if it is higher than 500ppm. Do 10% water changes every week or so till you calcium is down. Fist thing we have to do is find out why it got high in the first place! 1) HAVE YOU BEED ADDING ANY BUFFER? 2) have you been doing...

A tang, out of the question. Tnags are grazers and love to swim. If kept in too small of a tank, they will be very cramped and will be more likely to get ich(essepally a regal tang, one of the more delecate tangs) and die. Also, tangs will not bother the clowns. I have a blue tang with a mated...

While the damsels are very agresive, i dont think they will amke a difference for the new fish eating <img src="graemlins//yeahright.gif" border="0" alt="[yeahright]" /> . Blenny's do not eat right away unless LR is in the tank. I have a lawnmower blenny(same thing besides color) and it took...

Since everybody else answer the other q's, i will answer this one. Some good fish would be clownfish, firefish, damsels,and other small fish. And no, you cant have any invert you want. Good ones are cleaner shrimp, blood shrimp, emreld crabs, CC stars, serpent stars, tube worms, and much more...

That could be calcium building up on your glass. This usually happens when of coarse, you calcium is way too high. Coraline algea wont grow that fast, so its not that. Calcium tends to build up over hours. Im not 100% sure of it though. Im not thinking it is any sort of algea, since most of the...

YUP. LR is one of the best ways to cycle. There are also other methods such as cycling with damsels, "cycle", raw shrimp, and LR. Also, the only bacterial kit you need/should need to use is "cicle". That will cycle your tank much faster Than without it. Hope i helped!

No. Puffers cannot be kept with ANY inverts(IE: shrimp, snails, corals, and STARFISH). So no, a puffer(dog face) would not be ok with any invert. Hope i helped!

The more current, the better. You should have currents in multiple area around the tank. You should get 3 400's nd do it like this: 1st power head: place on the left side of the tank pointing into the tank(right) 2nd power head: Place on the right side of the tank, pointing up to give a little...

Manu, i answered that question along time ago in that other psot... Anyway, they will all get along. But, leave out the eel. They just get too big, too fast. They should grow about 1-2 inches per year if you feed them a lot, if you feed them little, maybe 1 inch, a little less. Anyway, look in...

I thought brown algea came first, then green? Anyway, this is perfectly normal. Just let it grow everywhere and later on, it will provide food for your cleanup crew. No need to get worried at all. Just leave it. YUMMY's are in tore for the clean-up crew! Also, what lights do you have and how...

Originally posted by fallen04: <strong>nano reefs are very easy to maintain and fun too have.</strong><hr></blockquote> That is not always true... Nano reefs tend to be much harder to keep, and not to mention much more $$$$$. The reason is, that nano reefs need much better filteration than the...

HMMMMM, agresive with agresive, depends really. Most agresive fish are very messy eaters, and will pick fights for often. Passive fish ar very gentle, and very delecate. Now, i have seen in a 250 gal, a Undulated trigger, niger trigger, a queen angle and a regal angle all in the same tank with...

Really depends how much you feed. I cannot tell you how fast they will grow...
