    Safe To Add Valentini Puffer?

    He will eat your inverts which will cause more buildup of algae and uneaten food which could lead to nitrates. Just a thought. Unless you are willing to keep buying them, I wouldn't do it.

    Ouch!! Puffer Packs A Bite!

    Believe it of not, whenever I clean my aquarium glass or the rock (I have a little hair algae) my lawnmower blenny, Jose, bites me repeatedly......everytime it scares the crap out of me and makes me sooo angry. He is such a little (insert chosen expletive here). He has sharp little teeth...

    Mandarin Dragonet

    Looks gorgeous!!!!! i love them so much. it's my favorite fish... Excellent that he is taking the frozen foods. they will start to get curious when they figure out that you are putting it in there. they won't actually swim after it but they will chase it on the sandbed itself. make sure you get...

    Algae "I think"

    You need alot more CUC first. that is not enough for a 90 by any means. Pick up a fighting conch, some turbo snails, some nassarius snails, etc. Look on here for some ideas.......exactly what you want will be determined by what kind of livestock is in there already. If you have any puffers or...

    Mexican Dragon Eel

    From my reading, it sounds like that would be a great combo of fish but I have not personally kept any eels so let some others chime in here....

    First problem with my tank....ICH

    Hypo works by killing inverts. Inverts cannot survive in a low salt environment. That is also why someone recommended a fresh water dip. Ich is an invert that feeds off of fish as a parasite. That is why it works so well. It only kills the free floating ich, so as the eggs hatch they die. It...

    new purple tip hammer :)

    It kind of looks like a purple tipped frogspawn or torch.......if that is what you have, they are gorgeous!!! I don't believe hammers come with those color tips either. Take a look on this site and see if the ends of the tips look like the ones on here. They tips are normally shaped kind of like...

    What snails are bad?

    if you have ones that are in your tank that you are specifically asking about you should prolly take a pic and then someone can tell you what they are. Most snails we get here are good ones I believe. You could also look at some of the ones they have for sale here and see if you see a resemblance.

    little white swimmers

    More or less, they are the biggest food source and one of the basics of the food chain in the ocean. They also eat detritus and help to keep your tank healthy.....

    percula vs. oscalaris

    If they are tank raised then neither are more likely to host. In fact they prolly won't although it does happen occasionally. The wild caught ones are the ones that host anemones more readily and their favorite kinds are carpet anemones but those are a little too big for your tank honestly. They...

    Sally LightFoot, Emerlad Crab, what else?

    sally light foots can be aggresssive but so can coral banded shrimp so be careful what you put with them... my emerald is out and about all the time and he did try some of my duncans once but immediately spit it out and backed away so I suppose it is what kind of corals you have....

    What to do with 29G

    Thanks so much!!! I appreciate the compliment.... You could do that much flow but you may have issues with any LPS and getting blown around too hard. What exactly did you decide to do with the tank? If you want SPS, then that would be good. If you want LPS that may not be a good plan. I would...

    rock work

    Be very aware that if you put live rock in your tank that you could have die off resulting in the death of all of your corals. The best option for you to do would be to find someone tearing down their tank on craigs list or somewhere like that and put that directly in your tank. But make sure to...
