    putting GSP in my tank

    I love my GSP they are so pretty in color and add that nice movement to the tank. What I did is have them on a piece of rock of their own, when they get to full on that rock and want to spread off I take it out and hack away at to to the size I want it to be, for me it quickly grows back on the...

    help me decide!

    I started out 5 yrs ago in this hobby with a 10 gal. I am now running a 3 gal pico and just love it. Back to your tank, skip the anemone, I had one in my 10 gal with PC lights, it did well, split and all. The clowns would not go near it though, it seems these percs don't really know what to do...

    pods help

    My tank is not an 8 gal its a 3 gal. Mandarins are very beautiful but I did not get one and would not put one in a 3 gal. I did get 2 very tiny clown gobies, just in case one does not make it due to their size I will have one left I hope. So far so good they are getting along really well, they...

    pods help

    I am getting a yellow clown goby tomorrow for this tank. Will they eat pods?? These pods are more the size of amphipods, if the clown goby will eat these then I would be elated. It was suggested I get a scooter blenny for this job and then rehouse it when done. If the Yellow Clown Goby will eat...

    I dont understand

    You want to see that red stuff curl up on contact?? When I started in this hobby 5 years ago I had this stuff too, I have to thank my LFS for telling me about Erythromiacin, now when you use this stuff you use it very sparingly, remove the carbon from the filter and leave it in the tank for...

    Ricordea

    The rics that are pictured here are Floridas my absolute favorite. I just got rid of my Yumas I do not care for them. But as for the Floridas what I have found is that they like to be in a med lit tank with low flow so they are not blowing around. I have a purple one and an orange one, they are...

    first attempt at a nano

    Nice tank, I have the same light and struggle to get enough light with it on my 3 gal pico. Its an okay light, very flimsy and I already have a crack in the plastic of it, this is one major complaint about this fixture. I have also had issues with the bulbs and its not even a year old yet. I...

    I Am Livid!!!

    I hear ya loud and clear, its not a cheap hobby and canbe very frusterating at times too. I guess that is one reason I have downsized to a 3 gal with just a few of my favorite corals and a cleaner shrimp. I have spent more money in the 5 years in this hobby than I have on my freshwater. Trying...

    My Purple and Blue Hornets

    May I ask, in your opinion do you think zoas in general need a really strong light to colorup well and grow well?? I have a 3 gal pico with 18 watts of pc lighting over it. My few zoas are doing well but I am worried about the blues I just bought, they are no where near as nice as yours. They...

    Lighting for a 5 gal

    I have the coralife 18 watt pc over my 3 gal. Its not a hex though and its okay. In the 5 gal hex my only concern is the depth of the tank but for mushrooms it would be just fine, not sure about zoas though. I am finding through my own experience they seem to like brighter lights... maybe others...
