What about anemones? I guess i was expecting a small increase in ammonia after I added it. Quote: Originally Posted by Jstdv8 fish should be added slowly, a month apart would be super unless you were adding in pairs. As long as the fish aren't huge you cn adda couple at a time. the corals I...

I added goniopora and a zoo frag two weeks ago. One week ago I added a bubble-tip anemone. Is there any period of time I should wait before adding anything else? Below are my water peramteters from 5 minutes ago. I will be doing a 10% water change later today. Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 NItrate...

My heritage is Dutch...and my family crest is a swan with a crown around its neck.

Those who gun down innocent bystanders are law breakers. Law breakers by definition ... break the law. Therefore passing laws to stop law breakers is frankly dumb. However, law followers follow the law. The law says do not shoot anyone except in a situation in which your life is in danger...

The following are photographs I took on August 22 & 23. The last black and white shows Nicolai in his car seat at 1 day old :-) The last picture is a collage I put together about a year ago. It includes our other two children Dimitri (6) and Anastasia (3).

https://www.saltwaterfish.com/Mushroom-Coral-Blue-Single-Mushroom-_p_5201.html Do mushrooms multiply, or if I buy a single one like in the link above, will it always remain a single one?

I guess my best bet is to "seed" my lr with several frags to increase my odds of a quick expansion.

bummer. I guess "trial and err" it is.

I have read about zoos expanding 2 or 3 polyps per month (though it really depends on the size of the colony). What I would really like to visualize is how long does it take to cover a certain area. For instance, if my frag is 3" x 2" with about 2 dozen polyps, how long would it take for it to...

They need stable water parameters and should only be put into a mature tank (9+ months old). You need good calcium/alk levels as well. Ca should really never go below 400ppm (420ppm if you really want to be safe), alkalinity 8-10dKH. I always suggest getting the Salifert or Elos test kits for...

You should be ok with the MH lighting, they need intence lighting. I would not get one smaller than 3 inches. The small ones tend to die. Some people feed them Phyto. How long has your system been up and running for? I began my cycle on June 10, 2010...so I am approaching the 8 month mark. I...

Are they hardy? What would be the three most important things to know about them before making the decision to get one?

Well, my calcium is 420, not 450...are you saying that 420 is good enough? My anthelia seems to love my tank, but the other coals have less than 2 weeks tenure, so its hard to say what they like. My nitrate usually are 0...I think the fact I have changed filters might have elevated the number...

The last water test I conducted reflected the following: Temperature: 78.5 F pH: 8.4 Phosphate: 0 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 5-10 Gravity: 1.022 Calcium: 420 Alk: 7 Water Changes: 15% monthly using RO water from store Topping of Water: Tap water used to top off water (1 Gallon every two...

Most will say that 2 1/2 months is too soon for an anemone, and that you should wait at least 6 months. I am not patient either, but stopped adding anything from about months 3-6. Now that I am in Month 7, I am starting to introduce more into my tank. Be patient (I know its hard).

I have one Ocellaris Clown and one Bubbletip Anamone. So far, my clown has nipped at my goniopora, but has totally ignored the BTA. I know you are not supposed to mix clown species, but are Ocellaris and Perculas close enough? Do THEY know they are not the same? Is there anything I can do to...

My 1st coral was Anthelia, which appear to be harmless. I have since added Goniopora, a Zoanthid frag, and a Bubble-Tip Anemone to my tank. As I start to get into the area of corals that includes toxins, I thought it might be good to learn what I should watch out for. I would hate to need a...

I started with a 90W CF, but changed to the MH in the first month. So, have had the MH for about 6 months. Then I think I will raise the salinity a bit....it seems to be the consensus.

Well she wouldn't turn it back off, so basically it would spend 16 hours a day on (which will also burn it out faster, of course). I told her how much MH bulbs cost yesterday...she bought a real night light and plugged it in next to the tank lol.
