I appreciate the response. I had previously read the QT post. It clearly says "minimum 3 weeks." Thats why I posted this Q. I guess then my question is specifically... will he starve in 3 weeks? Should I be watching him more closely to see if he's eating? Is the live rock from the main...

I bought a LMB last Sat. He has been in my 10g QT since then. How long should I keep him in there? I know 3 weeks is the recommended QT time but he eats algae and he doesn't seem to be eating the spirolina flakes I have added. I have placed a piece of live rock from my main in there with some...

I acclimated a LMB yesterday into my QT. Right now I have placed a piece of LR from my main in the QT. Any suggestions on feeding this blenny while he is in the QT? He is still quite shy. I have caught him moving around the tank a bit but he is quick to relocate when he sees me. I guess I am...

Thanxs xoxox. I've been to creavers creatures in rome. They sold me a nice clarii for a nice price. not a huge selection on cleanup crew, they have some nice corals though and they are reasonably priced. The place in oriskany is where I bought the bangaii cardinal I mentioned previously. I...

let me give the whole tank pic one more shot... sorry to waste so much space for a few pics... I was learning as I went along... I'm slow.

Ahhh thats better. added an avatar and everything!

Well that didn't work to well... how's this

first try at pics of my newbie 29g. I have a lot of work to do!

Well the new LMB is doing well. Breathing fine and moving around a bit. He is a bit shy right now but I expected that. I only have one rock in the QT, for filtration help, and some pvc. Not a lot of algae, if any. I have some spirulina algae flake. He didn't seem too interested just yet. I...

Great info. I am dripping a LMB for my QT right now. **excitement**

Did a quick once over on the yellow WG... Does he or she burrow in your tank? What about jump? I have a hood now but I am thinking that with the skimmer and light upgrade the eclipse is a gonner... I guess jumping is OK I can top off that... but the burrowing could be a pain.

Interesting. Sounds like I need a LMB. I need to do some research on the yellow WG. I was orriginally thinking royal gramma. Do you know if they are similar in behavior and/or compatability w/ the yellow WG? Anyway thanks for all the news!! What lights are you looking at? After the CPR of...

Thanks for the info sula. How is your clown with his tankmates? I am a little concerned that my clarkii will be a poor neighbor to new additions. With only a 29g space is limited, and he owns the tank right now. I am unsure if I want to keep him solo. Of course, like everyone, I suffer from...

thanx sula I'd be interested in hearing more about your 29. Hows the cpr work? Do you have any other filtration besides LR? How much live rock do you have? What fish?

Thank you snipe.

Hey. I'm back... and I need some expert advice. I made a bunch of newbie mistakes. But I learned a lot. I now have a QT running and I've sucessfully added my first healthy fish!! I have a 29 gallon, 40lbs of live rock, 3-4 inch sandbed, 2 300gph PH's, an eclipse 3 hood w/ 40 watts of lighting...

I have heard people talking about gluing things to their PH's or gluing frags etc... I thought someone said superglue!? Can you put something that has been superglued into your tank???!

That is an interesting fix. I'll give that a shot. Anyone have any other suggestions for my PH's? How do you prevent specimens from getting "sucked" to death on your powerheads? Thanks.

I have 2 Hagen Aquaclear 401 PH's. They have been eating fish and snails for long enough!! How do I stop this madness? I put a filter medium over the cap but it slows the flow dramatically. Any suggestions please. I am ready for new additions but I refuse to do it until I solve this mess. HELP!!

thanks speedracered. thanks for boosting my morale. For a while I thought my IQ was too low to figure out how to set up a PH. Its nice to know I am not the only idiot around here. just kidding. I probably am.
