No! The "Poor Mans Idol" will eat almost anything in a reef tank.

Hmmm... with out actually seeing them this is totally a wild guess but I'm gonna say barnacles.

You can get a diatom filter for about $70, way less than an RO. Just use it on the water your gonna put in. Thats the only thing its good for, but if thats your only problem...

IMO, that no 2 angels thing is really per genus, and in a 210, sure if you want. The CB needs to be in long enough to think its boss of the world. He also needs things to hide in throughout the tank, not just at one end. Make sure the Blue is pretty young, juvi preferably. The Blue will most...

Umm, define stuff Is it like it has a stain on the surface, like the sand itself is turning brown? Usually when people say that, in similar situations like new tank with no animals, its brown algae starting do to the lake of animal waste for fertilizer. Or as teen said diatoms which may have...

COOL, thanx

Pencils will scavange meat. If theres no dead meat he might kill. Pretty easy to outrun though. Give him a piece of krill once in a while. My Longspine used to keep my glass spotless. He'd go back and forth in rows like somebody mowing their lawn.

Some power heads have an airline tube that sticks out of the water connected to the jet to make bubbles.

IMHO, The Lemon is the only one I would suggest to try to keep in a 55 (always mention the tank size) As far as all 3 :scared:

'The most expensive fish I ever bought was a beta in a little cup. It probably has cost me about 15K+ since then."

Stranger things have happened. Since they're unfirtilized she will just mouth them and eat the dead ones until they're gone. They don't change back. Almost always if you put a single one in a tank it will go girl.

Hasn't killed anything yet is what Jeffrey Dahmers' mom used to say when he was little too. A friend of mine had to have steel rods put in his arm from where his "nipped" him. The guy lived so I guess you could say his hasn't killed anything yet either.

Usually when a fish appears to yawn it means that the salinity is a little high for him. Dragonets do this a little anyway. If he also doesn't appear to sit on the bottom very well, like he looses his grip and floats up a little, then thats a sign of the same thing. 1.025 would be better for...

Instead of just carbon, use Boyd's Chemi-Pure.

IMHO, get some anemones. Your corals may be closing because they are eating those and are simply not hungry.

Dont worry, the trigger was fine

They like groups, but 1 is ok. I would get 3 or 5 little ones (stick too odd numbers) Then I'd get an anemone and 2 clowns (not maroons) then I would get a Flame or Coral Beauty angel. It doesn't sound like a lot of fish but my philosophy is, the closer they can get to their natural max size the...

Thats only a 60? It looks 6' long, is it? Hard to tell, nothing to compare it to. It looks real nice. The rock looks very natural.

Only 2 days in shipping and that wet it should be fine. You got some little shrooms on it too, that cool. I hate it when live rock has algae and thats it. I get it for the stuff that doesn't get collected seperately, and for the "OMG what the heck is that thing" that pops up a year later

How 'bout some links. Atleast the search terms you used, or is there like a special "books on Google" thing?
