anyone? any thoughts?

I removed a small one yesterday then found two huge ones and two small ones today. I was able to get the tw big ones out but not the little ones as there deep in holes

I'm really interested in this as there's so much difference in what people do. I'm trying to get a poll here not sure how. The mass here seem to feed once a day where another board the mass feeds 3xs a day. The 3x a day theary seems to be based on fish that are grazers ie:Tangs I'd expect those...

The clown made it 3 days in the QT. I came home yesterday to find him flipping himself around. I scoop him up in a BIG measuring cup put a little DT water in and hung the cup inside the display tank. Hubby thought maybe the lack of light was the problem but I pretty much knew he was toast...

Thankyou for taking the time to write this. I hope I haven't angered anyone here, I tend to ramble I try to give back to other what I've learned too.

Go for the chromis if you want. I was just stating from my experience. Maybe with 2 they'll just stick to them selfs. 3 would be more like a school though, if your tank can handle it.

I'd still cut the lights down. I think that max you need is 8hrs a day but I'd cut it to 6hrs for a while. More snails and keep on top of the water changes. Oh I'd also get another goby and cover your tank. I had one jump too. I have it partly covered reducing the risk of a jump but not causing...

I agree with skipping the chromis I have one that came with the tank and the dang thing just picks on the clown fish. Its going to the IFs, there's nothing special looking about it by it self either. If you go to "reef packages" on the side on this site it will give you a little look at what...

I just went through the diatom algea out break. I have a little green and hair algea on the glass and a tiny little itty bitty spot of red on two rocks. I unfortantly lost my anemome while I was away for a couple days. This aloud me to cut the lights back to 5hrs(2pm to 7pm) I got the cierth...

I just know the bigger the tank the more forgiving. I'll have to set it up tomorrow. I thought hubby put it in the garage with the rest of the stuff but it must still be in the car truck which he took today.

Well it didn't like the seaweed or shrimp I tried pellets beforee too and it wouldn't eat it

Unfortantly I lost my seaba when I went away for two days but a couple days after adding a few hermits the anemome ate one of the hermits and spit out its shell

My red starfish is *suppose* to be an algea eatter and I have seen it eatting algea off the rocks and glass. However one leg is getting shorter then the rest so I figure it's more like a veg and meat eatter. I've tried giving it the froozen brine but all I managed to do is knock it off the glass...

I had left some tanks at my parents basement from when I had fresh water fish and breed bettas. All that was left was a 2.5g, 5g and the 25g. One 10g apparently broke and the other 10g my mom gave away to her friend. I sold my 30g when we moved the time before last and other then my 170g DT I...

Originally Posted by PEZenfuego Sorry to disappoint you. Oh well, you can't have two cleaner shrimps anyway... I just got two peppermints but its a 170g so should be fine.(don't worry I didn't get any more fish) Can you keep two different kind of shrimp? I really want a blood shrimp, almost...

ceirth and nass snails are good for clean-up crew. Oh and hermits like the blue-legged hermits. I personalty love my mexican turbos, they do a good job on the rocks and glass.

I *think* mines pretty much done now, 99% better anyway. It's been about a month.
