10 gal tank is too sensitive to water changes for sea horses. they'll die!

you don't need the holgens - get PC's instead - they are pretty cheap for a 10 gal tank ($80)

coiuld be anuthing at this point. Wait and see - probably tiny tube worms - my tank in now full of them. If they start to populate everything get a Sally Lgithfoot crab. It'll eat 'em all!

you made the same mistake I made - throw it out. Go to your local grocery store and buy (reverse osmosis water) drinking water. Since you are just buying the purifier you probalby have a new setup.. Some mushrooms needs a stable tank to survive. It may be you just jumped the gun on the...

I HAVE THREE - TWO Love to be hand fed - I touch thier tenticle and then give them food and they take it to their mouth. the third hides under a rock and waits until the lights are out to eat.

probably not.

First - in order to have a reef aquarium - You don't even need filtration if you set it up right. the Modified Berlin Method uses Live Rock, a Deep Sand bed, and a protien skimmer, a couple of power heads to move the water around and weelky water changes and have 25 snails/hermits and a few...

You usually can tell by the black dividing the white and orange. On a true perc it's much more profound whereas on the ocellaris it's much thinner. I personally like the ocellaris - they are silly swimmers, eat out of my hand, are less expensive and less aggressive than true percs.

where did you get the purple?

30 Gal - couple of clowns, some damsels and maybe one pigmy angel. try alot of interts - star fish, crabs, feather dusters, mushroom polyps and keep the fish to a minimum. that way it's like a reef echo system vice a fish tank! You could even think about some urchins - they are neat - fire...

very nice LR setup. I wouldn't change a thing!!! That's one of the best LR setup I've seen!!! Any more LR and it would take away from the whoel design. Great Job!!

Simple Answer is YES _ I sauggest you buy small piece of LR anyway - it helps keep the inverts busy. Heck you know you can throw in clean coral pieces into the tank you get from ***** and after a while it'll be at least something to climb on.

Seeding takes alot of work. Buy a few pieces of small LR and some established live Sand (like 1 lb) and stuff will slowly grow. I now have half inch starfish all over the tank and through my sand (I did nothing but add aragonite sand and throw in Live rock. I bought a piece of LR that was...

They're Tube worms - they will make your tank look very cycled. I suggest you leave them on the back of the tank and remove them everywhere else. That way they don't disrupt your view but show the tank's progress.

I LOST ALL OF MY MARGARITA SNAILS TOO. Stick with Astrea - they do the job and are nearly indistructible. Of course they are very boring to look at - but they are a good addition to a cleaning crew.

Your PH is low - should be between 8.2-8.4 (mine is 8.0) but 7.8 is too low. I doubt that this is your only problem. I would suggest that if you aren't already to go to Reverse Osmosis water (can get it at Safeway) if you're not using it already. I would also suggest you try 10% water changes...

I'm a bit less agressive - I think a tank with willing participants who are entertaining: Racoons, Angles, Clowns, maybe a safe tang or so. I have three tangs, two clowns, a flame angel and couple of damsels. I would suggest that you make sure you put your LR so the fish can swim over but not...

compatibility chart says "caution" - I would watch closely and be prepared to move the starfish if needed.

I am not sure whether you made your decision yet but here's my two cents ( as usual I will go against the grain) Go to the LPS and get yourself a couple of ocellaris clowns. Leave these guys in the tank for about another three weeks and then make the rest of your purchase on line. the two fish...

Kev's right - I really fget upset at the local saltwater distributor because he barely feeds the fish. They don't feed the tangs in the coral/LR curing tank at all - they assume they'll eat enough algae to survive. these fish look so skinny it't awful. My fish are fed twice daily and they're...
