I never had to dose to get coraline. It will come eventually on its own.

Ghost feeding is when you put fish food in the tank. You feed it daily to start the cycle. OR you can just put in a raw shrimp for a week or so that will kick start it. I do not think your bacteria starter will do the trick. IDK for sure but to be on the safe side I would add that shrimp to...

I have heard that you should not put shrimp in until your tank is stablized for at least 3 months. Are you ghost feeding the tank or did u add a shrimp to get the cycle started?

Just curious as my upgrade 100 will not have a filter. It will be all LS and LR. I will have a 45 gallon sump/refug set up and I will have a skimmer and a phosban reactor. In the reactor I plan to run phosban and activated carbon. I will have a closed loop for water flow along w/ the return...

you know I never considered this. I may do this also. What kind of snails are you gonna get? Will snails eat left over food on the sand like the crabs do? If there is another alternative to hermits let me know.

I have 2x175 w MH and I have 14K and 2x110 VHO actinics on my 100. I am still putting everything to gether but I like the way they look. I haven't got the tank completely set up in the house yet it is in the garage right now. Here's a picture

I was coming to correct my post. I was wrong they are like a clown goby, but they are calledl panda clown goby. Sorry Paragobius lacunicolus per the Drs site. Just curious if anyone has any personal experiance w/ this little fish :happyfish

Panda Gobies are very small. You could try one of those.

HI Actually a Panda Goby and a Clown goby do not look alike. A clown goby is all yellow. Below is a picture of a Panda Goby. If anyone can give input or experiances w/ this fish please pass on.

I am no pro by any means. However my experiance with my BTA's is that if they find their "happy spot" they don't move. JM experiance though. I have mushrooms and there are no problems.

I am closer! I live in Houston. I was actually in New Braunsfels a couple weekends ago. I love the RiverWalk.

OK I will be ready to upgrade my 29 to a 100 gallon w/ 45 gallon sump/refug in a couple of weeks. I know I eventually want a hippo tang and a yellow tang. They will be the last two fish that I add when the time comes. HOWEVER I am so scared of them. I have heard so many tang horror stories...

I also use Odyssea lighting. I have 130 watts of PC. It has worked GREAT for the money. Alot of people have very harsh opinions on Odyssea lights, but I know several people who use PC and MH and love them. My only complaint about my lights, as mine are an older version as to what they sell now...

I have a reef. Everyones opinions on this and other things will be different. I use phosban for my phosphates and I also use SeaChem carbon. Like I said I run my carbon 24/7 and I do weekly water changes. As long as u change ur media as needed you should be good. JMO

IMO I don't see any disadvantages of running carbon. I run carbon 24/7 and change it at least once a month

Acutally that is a good question Kuniva. I also have 1 red as the other red died. What is the best way to introduce another red one. When I upgrade my tank should I put another red and 2 purples in at the same time so they are all introduced together and there is NO territory set for anyone?

easiest thing is visit Marsh. There is a list of local stores on there. I personally like Village Tropical I have never seen a dead or sick fish there. I do like T&T but the one time I went there they had several fish that just didn't look very good. Not saying they were sick they just didn't...

Cool - that is what I want to do 2 red and 2 purple in a 100. thanks

Hell I have been in LFS that sell it for like $5 a piece

This is the day they jumped in The last one is when they get ready for bed And yes these are mine :hilarious
