Can anyone help me? Im reading about epoxy that I can use. Is that a possibility and if so, where can I get it?

Pretty sure it is a Bristle Worm. They start out really really small but can get very large. No need to worry. Just a part of the CUC. Very effective at cleaning up dead fish and uneaten fish food.

Hmmm. Should I try and find some aquatic paint and paint over the spray paint? And for the silcone, should I go buy some aquarium safe silicone and do it over?

What should I do?

At the moment, I am working on setting up a mantis tank. I bought a 40g breeder tank with a 20g sump. It was used for saltwater before I bought it. I needed to reseal the overflow intake tube at the bottom because I thought it was allowing air to get in causing microbubbles. I used a silicone...

Bump. Need to know if I will have problems with a Mantis getting into my overflow and if it is even possible.

Update! I got my aquarium today. Its 10x better than what I originally had planned on getting which was the 36g bowfront. Nice sleek setup but not ideal for a mantis. Instead I got a 40g aquarium (breeder style) with a built in overflow, 20g sump, stand, canopy, 24" 2x65 with 1 Actenic and 1 10...

Try not to think of BristleWorms as a bad thing. They will help clean up dead fish which I have seen in my tank, eat alot of uneaten food, and general stay out of site. The reason they are coming out during feeding time is because you feed your fish and coral less probably than more which is a...

Enough nutrient or no?

What about FW fiddler crabs or FW crayfish?

I was wondering if you knew what would be best to feed a Peacock Mantis Shrimp. My diet plan is: 2-3 times per week feedings. Every other week, throw in a snail or Emerald Crab. When I am doing the feedings, I am going to get some snail shells and stuff them full of: Marine Cuisen, Emerald...

Ok. I may just go with a 36, due to the fact that Iw ould like to get nice equipment and I already have a 55g aquarium in my room. Thats 1000lbs on oine side and another 600-700lbs wouldnt be a nice thought at night. Thank you for all your help, Cranberry. I sincerly appreciate it. Im not sure...

Ok. I will have to see what I can get. If I get the 36g bow front, how long do you think I would have before he is in danger of outgrowing the aquarium? Estimate is fine

Im not sure. Its going to be from Petsmart or *****. I dont have it yet.

Which aquarium would you recommend? A 46g bowfront? A 36g bowfront? The Peacock Mantis I am going to be getting will probably be around 6-7'' long.

Well Ive been battling Cyano in my 55 Reef tank and dont want to worry about that in my new tank. I can afford both and I was just thinking that with all the bristle worms and other CUC critters, they wont let any horded food go to waste.

Ok. I will post in about 10 days. Thats my birthday! So that's hopefully *cross fingers* when I will be getting all my main equipment to start the tank. Ive been comtemplating getting live rock that is seeded with all sorts of good stuff like peanut worms, bristle worms, starfish, spaghetti...

Hmmm. Any fish you would recommend then? I dont want the 46g aquarium to only house my Peacock Mantis but I dont want to downgrade and risk having him outgrow it.

Ok Ill put the Maroons in another tank. But it would be ok to add like 6 or 7 blue chromis to the mantis tank? And was it before or after the mantis is introduced?

Cranberry. Ive read from multiple sources that you can and cannot keep fish with a mantis. More so, a spearer. Smashers are still a hazard. I plan on getting a 46 gallon bowfront so there will be ample room for a few fish. Ive always wanted to keep one or possibly a pair of Maroon Clownfish. Do...
