thanks again for the additional help. I'll pick up some algae this weekend and hope for the best.

It's an organ pipe coral. Soft coral which requires high lighting, med-strong current and is often difficult to keep.

thanks everyone, just tried to move it again. trying to get it closer to the top with a powerhead protecting it. I'm really upset about this whole thing. The poor brain is defensless.

what type of algae?

My latest addition to my reef has been a flame angel. A gorgeous and wonderful addition to my reef. Until it started picking on my blue/green welsyphilia brain(my favorite coral). I knew it was a hit or miss with this fish but I didn't think it would pick at my brain. I've tried moving it...

Since you already have the filters use them for awhile. They help clear out the larger debris and waste. Eventually though it may lead to waste build-up and higher nitrates and ultimately with enough lr and ls you won't need them. After 4 months of buying a ton of lr and ls I emptied my eheim...

percula clownfish and/or a yellow stripe maroon clown. a royal gramma, flame hawk(great personality), mandarin fish, flame angel and a blue spotted jawfish. the flame angel or any other dwarf angel need to be added after 6 months of tank being established. the jawfish also would be better...

In a shaded area with medium current.

bumble bee snail. Good hitcher, they stay really small.

I had a bunch of scarlet hermits and when I saw their remains hanging around I thought they had molted. Recently I've searched around my tank and can't find any. It seems as if all my blue legs devoured my scarlets. If you have blue leg hermits this might be the case. Those guys are...

Sometimes inverts will display varying behaviors in different environments or as they mature. In the case of your crab it might start to become destructive but there's a chance it might not. It's wise always to keep an eye on all your critters to make sure they don't go ballistic. I have a...

I've ordered twice from here before and both times were great!!! First one at a year ago was all inverts and are still alive(red legs were killed by blue leg crabs). My second order for flame angel, crabs and shrimps was even better. I was nervous about ordering this fish but he's doing...

I have to disagree. I have about 4 hitcher crabs and 2 urchins that came on my lr six months ago. Instead of listening to others I didn't kill them and they have never caused me any problems. It's true that some crabs are predatory and others are destructive but many aren't. I'd keep an eye...

Beautiful start. Hard to believe it's a 20 gallon. I especially like the aquascaping(sp?).

Homey is my favorite clown. Homey don't play that! Very territorial and aggresive. Will not host an anemone. Needs a mininum of 500 gallons.:D

Either 3 or 4 would fit on a 36 long 29 gallon tank. I think you wouldn't have much space in the back for any filter or skimmer after adding 4 though. If you're running it with ice-cap you'd need a 660 ballast. I only have 2 on mine and run a 430 ice-cap ballast with it.

That's a great start. One or two days without smoking is an accomplishment. It shows you that you can live a normal life without a drag. Good luck with the employment issues. Hopefully the economy will sustain this small upward trend. I quit smoking for a year in 1999 when my father picked...

Sadly I'm the one that started this post and I haven't been able to quit. I did however buy some patches last week. I haven't worn them yet because I'm still not ready. Hours have been cut at my job, I was expecting a new position but because of the economy was denied and am now afraid my...

:D Here's my favorite!!!:D

Wait until 4-5 in the morning when it is completely dark and sneak up to the tank with a red flashlight. You'll find him creeping around the rocks. If you use a regular flashlight it will just scare them away. I have a peppermint and a camel back which I wouldn't see for over a month. They...
