Hello SWF! (sorry in advance for the Long post, lack of proper grammar and spelling with the misuse of parenthesis. If you're anything like me you will read this and move to another thread) Please answer my questions at the bottom of the post!! Have had good luck on the boards with you people in...

Corals and fish? Nano would be limited to certain gobies/blennies and clowns. Angler fish usually require a little bit larger tank, but I've seen them sitting in small 3 gallons at fish stores. I would go with a deeper/mixed sand bed. Get a yellow-head Jawfish and a green clown Goby. As far as...

Nice pics! I'll try to get a couple in here. Mine has dug about 4 spots now. It decided spot #1 is the best.

After hitting the 4 fish stores on Monday, I finally found what I was looking for. Tiger Jawfish - Opistognathus sp. He is about 3 inches long. Immediately began digging his burrow. Within a few hours it was complete. After 24 hours, he decided to change spots. Now he is in a stupid location...

Added a few more goodies. Picked up a small two tube t-5 fixture. Running 2 actinic bulbs. 5 nerite snails. 4 blue leg hermits Pics 1 & 2 = Alveopora coral, AKA flowerpot. GLow's awesome under my t-5's. Thinking about buying another for 40$. Doing very well since acclimation. Please help ID the...

You can always re-scape! You will have to eventually. My favorite rock formation in a simple sketch. It really depends on what type of rock you have, but this is the basic idea. 1. Base of formation 2. Second level 3. Top Creates a big cave with 4 large entrances, and many small. Close 2-3...

Nothing is wrong with feeding your fish twice a day. I would encourage it. Some fish act much differently if you feed them 2-3 times daily. They will swim around more, looking for food, because they expect it. Just make sure you do not overfeed. Good luck with the breeding!

Love the mangroves. Wish I had a built in refugium like your tank

I agree with Mr. DC, you should cut back on lighting or change your bulbs if they are old. Cyano is a versatile algae that will use photosynthesis, and feed off of nitrates, phosphates etc. to grow. Cut back on feeding and liquid organic additives. Some critters eat Cyano. I have a Halloween...

Is that pulsating Xenia? I've had Xenia in my tank for about a week. I'm going to shove a rock into it and see if I can get the same results.

I would agree with srfish that only one dwarf angel should be in the tank. Also, I would only put one clown in. Mix up your stocklist. Maybe add a wrasse, goby or blenny.

Pods are naturally on your rocks. When your tank cycles, it usually kills most of them off. After awhile the population increases. My MH light has a fan built in. My tank is also open top, so the air doesn't get trapped near the surface of the water.

I used to hand feed my eel frozen (unthawed) silversides. Nice conch shell home for that snowflake.

You poor saltwater enthusiasts. Better make sure I take good care of mine so it doesn't end up eating carpet. This fish is awesome to watch! Here are a few shots of my Zoa's and Xenia Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Here are some Mccosker's flasher wrasse pics. Juv/female. Sorta looks like a filament wrasse. I believe it is turning male. I notice the Dorsal fin has a small flare that is a bit longer than normal. It also seems to have yellow on its sides and underbelly. It was in my LFS tank for over a month...

Another Update- Added my first corals and another fish. 1. Pink zoa frag with 65+ polyps. Doing well. 2. Pulsating Xenia, roughly 30 stalks. Current stocklist---- Fish: Saddle-back clown McCosker's Flasher Wrasse Inverts: Fire shrimp 8 Nass. snails 3 Mexican turbos 2 Halloween hermits Hitchhiker...

I loved my snowflake eel! need to have another moray someday. Awesome critter

My concern was not bio-load it was territory. This is my 2nd fish. Doing very well. Sleeps in the same barnacle every night. Next to my fire shrimp. Eats well. For some reason I'm having troubles uploading a picture. I'll try again later.

I have a 30g next to a south facing window. The curtain is mostly closed. I make sure just enough light gets in at sunrise/sunset to ease the fish in and out of my metal halides. My zoas begin opening before I turn my lights on. When I cycled my tank, I let the sun hit the entire tank directly...
