Ah, we're coming clean with Tang restriction -- I have a similar story. We 'adopted' a purple tang with HLLE to try and cure him (which we did, he's doing great) but the only place for him was one of our large FOWLR with an established yellow. The yellow went nuts, and since we needed the purple...

I run nothing but Ecosystems on our 5 tanks. I understand where you're coming from, and have seen the numbers that support the same theory of NOT doing changes. However -- for some reason, and I admit I don't have a good scientific one for it -- I still do 10% changes every two weeks. I guess I...

Interesting development with the unknown mystery white crab... tonight I gave the tank it's weekly silverside treat (I feed the shrimps and the rhodactis by stick) and a piece fell onto the xenia where this crab lives. He grabbed it and sucked it down like theres no tomorrow...so he's at least a...

Golfish - thats the stuff I'm looking for. Why not in your reef again?

Ok, coupla things. FIRST of all, if you're using Ecosystem filtration, you do NOT want a 3" sand bed, you'll have a nitrate factory. With Ecosystems, keep the sand bed LESS than 1", decorative only. You need about 1.5 lbs. of rock per gallon, so you're looking at between 250 and 300 lbs. of...

Ok, first things first. What kind of tank does he want? Corals? Lots of fish with lots of rock? How often can you get over there to maintain?

I know we've been here before, but I'd appreciate fresh input. I'm discussing this with someone who's tank we're setting up, and we're at odds about the Sally Lightfoot. Reef safe? Opinions? Exeriences? Thanks, Dave

Give it time, they'll come around. Keep in mind that fish that don't come from areas that the scarlet skunk shrimp is native to will take a lot longer to "use" the shrimp's services, if they do so at all. For example, if you put a Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse with Yellow Tangs, they'll immediately...

Sure, here's the link to the fish Canthigaster pygmae http://ichtyonb1.mnhn.fr/Summary/Spe...esname=pygmaea

Its normal for them to swim on their backs. One thing real important with these guys...is make sure the sand bed is small grained, they will spend days at a time buried in it. They come out for a swim every few days, and will usually remain out walking around for a few hours when they do. Be...

That looks an awful lot like a Fiji Blue Spotted Puffer. Easy to find online, and relatively inexpensive. We have one going on 3 years, we love him. You sure thats not it?

Anyone have a 92 gallon corner tank they no longer want? Looking to buy one in September. Thanks! Email me dave@jfktower.com

Great pics! By the way, I noticed your photos come up really quick and load really well. Thats a nice website you got there. Fast!

Write me.... dave@jfktower.com

You also might consider a small school of chromises. Very peaceful, colorful, and small, make a great reef addition.

Puffer's are only poisonous to the eater, not the eatee.

If you light up the tank that much, they won't be happy, they prefer shadows and dull lighting. If they have caves and dark areas in the tank you could be successfull with it, just don't subject them to the light all the time without shelter. The best food for seahorses is mysis shrimp...much...

The best method we have found is to order a large amount of live brine and just keep them in a well aerated 2 gallon hex tank. We do this for our seahorse, and a 2 gallon supply of brine shrimp stay alive for a good month this way. We feed artemia to the brine shrimp, and use just a simple air...

I don't know if you would call it a trick...but our porcupine puffer spits water onto the dining room table whenever we sit down to eat dinner. If we forget to close the glass lids you get a nice salty flavor to your food. Its his way of saying, "Hey, what about me??" Our zebra flounder is...
