As soon as you've started your first tank, a 55 deciding you need to upgrade to a bigger tank.......and then after starting a 2.5 nano deciding you need to upgrad to a 10. Working for months to get your tank looking and running smoothly, then deciding you want to change out the substrate.

Cerratulid's - yep good. I grow them in my 20 gal along with other wierd good stuff like bristles, pods etc.

He may be just adjusting to your tank. How long has the tank been set up? What/who are the tank mates? I'd be careful and resist overfeeding right now. If your tank has been up for several months and there is a good supply of algae then it's likely the angel is grazing on that. Good luck and let...

Yes, they can but, I've the 2 together added fairly close together. My sixline is my favorite fish, named myself after it. Sixlines love to pick at the rocks and mines favorite food is bristle worms. I also have lyretail anthias, a male and 2 females. I don't think a 55 would be adequate for...

I don't think a 37 gallon can support the algae necessary for a lawnmower blenny. Some days I don't think my 135 can the way he attacks nori. They are known to very slowly die of starvation in a tank that can't provide for their aggressive grazing of algae. IMO you already have a fully stocked...

In a five gallon maybe a clown goby or a neon goby or if you keep the temp down in high 70's a catalina goby might work. I put a couple mushrooms, couple button polyps, snail and hermit crab (from the big tank) and a very small scarlet cleaner in mine. There's plenty of action in there so maybe...

I love mine and her name is blondie. I have a coral beauty also. That is another fish that you want to wait a few months for. They graze the algae all day and need stable conditions. I've had my cb for almost 2 years. :joy:

I believe that a yellow tang in a 55 gal 4 ft long tank can be happy and healthy. Tangs like to take off fast and zip across the tank. Mine was there for over a year. It's even happier in the 135 now. Your yt will have that white stripe, it's normal. It will also fade color at night getting...

You can delete your other thread. Just click on edit, then at the top check the delete box and delete now. As to the fish. Any tang needs to be in a well established tank with plenty of algae for grazing. I'm thinking you will have to cut your losses on this one and just try to make sure that it...

I agree with most everything above. You do have to have a well established system and research these fish. They are hardy when in the right environment and their special needs are met in the way of algae and grazing material etc. I have a wonderful blonde naso. I'm sorry you lost your fish and...

Lawnmower blennies eat algae all day long. Graze, graze, graze. Mine also eats nori and flakes etc. but they have to have plenty of algae. What size is your tank? How long has it been established?

Sometimes it just takes a while for the right people to see the thread and answer it. ( not that I'm the right people)pc and vho put out different light to different depths. Yes it would both be 110 watts but, that's only 2 watts per gallon on a 55. Not enough if you want to do any corals. A lot...

Great, I've got to go to Houston on Monday. I have 5 business calls to make. I've never been there, but I've heard if they add any more loops they're going to rename it Saturn.:eek:

ceriths stay mainly in the rock and sometimes the sandbed or lower glass. They are great for those hard to reach places that the larger snails can't get too. The turbos will clean the glass and rocks. For sand beds my favorite are nassarius snails. They bury in the top layer of the sand and do...

Beth, your tank looks great. I love when you post pics. LOL at bigmac. I sure hope no gsp hitch-hikes into his new tank

welsophylia will filter feed invert food, microplankton and they do host symbiotic zoxanthellae. It's probably adjusting. I have 1 green open brain (trachphyllia) and 1 welsophylia that I rescued from another person's tank. It had tissue recession and bleaching. I've had it 3 months and it is...

I meant in a new tank...they are hard to keep alive in an established tank and it was one of those newbie mistakes before I found this board and researched very much. Luckily mine is doing great, split twice and is now so big I wish it would split again. :joy:

Originally posted by RyeBread Yet another instance where I really miss that winking smiley. I know, it was my most used smiley.

Ok looking forward to the pic. Don't give up on it though even if you think it's a goner. Mine did come back and I wasn't feeding it anything, thought I'd just have a skeleton in there. I would move it though, in case that's it's problem. Good luck!

Denver gave it up so I don't really care who plays but, I'll watch anyway. If we are out of mourning around here yet.
