Tangs are grazers so I feed mine 3 times a day. Algea pellets 1x, froozen reef mix or brine w/omega 3 and about 1/4th square of an seaweed sheet I think maybe I should up this though to half a sheet if your feeding 2 sheets and it's not to much. My Tangs though graze of the rocks. What are your...

Look at your tank when the lights are out. Most of the time at night my fish are behind the rocks just hovering in one place. My goby goes under a rock all night. The dragnette has sand on top of it's head every morning so I think it must dig under a rock too though I don't see it.

I believe they do, do alot of resting when the lights are out at least.

I feed brine with omega 3 but not every day. My hubby would have a fit if I feed the fish salmon eggs, with that price tag

My Diamond Goby only hide for two days. He only hides now at night, any light in the room and he's out shifting the sand. Hows your rock put in your tank? Any shifted? I hope it didn't dig under and get trapped. Mines right on the bottom and the sand in front. Very little behind since I can't...

Thankyou. I sure hope it makes it and gets bigger I really like it.

It finally got off the glass to a good area for a shot. Can you tell me what it is? The IFS just had it down as "red Starfish". I've had it about 6 weeks I think

From reading, reading, reading and the little personaly experence I have now gathered I'd say you need a good mix to do different jobs. Snails ceirth/nass are good for sand, astro/turbo for algea(I love my mexican turbos but their large becareful with corals because the can bump stuff off)...

Thanks, I looked last night with a flash light and still didn't spot them Their about half an inch long I'm guessing

Are you using tap water? There's lots to read here about the DI/RO system(did I get that right?) I can't get my nitrates below.10 usually sits at .20 and I'm blaming it on the tap water now. I have filter materal to take it out but I still get a reading even after a water change. Scroll around...

How long do shrimp normal live for?

Is there a chance that my peppermint shrimp are still alive? About two weeks ago I added 2 to my tank. I saw one hiding the first night and haven't seen them since. Not even a molt. Is it normal for them to hide this long?

Wow more people feed more then once a day then I orignally thought.

The chromis chomped him in the DT, I saw this a few times seeing the wound it caused. I got the QT set-up a few days after it happened and the clown was in there 3 days. I'd say it looked infefected it was white though until I put him in QT then it turnned brown. The spots still on the tang but...

Originally Posted by tonynader how exactly do you get them out? The big ones where in a big rut in the rock so I just used a knife to bump them out and got them with a turkey baster. The small ones are in tiny holes that I can't get at and the baster isn't strog enough to suck them out.
