Will Run Get My Book-there Are Several Different Ones In There-from Different Locations And Different Colors, Both Tentacles And Stem

Wow-or Ow! Are You Trying To Inspire Or Humiliate The Rest Of Us, Thomas? Incredible Photos-obviously Incredible Tank/tanks/lagoon

My reef reference book 'The Marine Aquaria" states that some species of BTA are more prone to 'bubble' than others, but when searching for food, will elongate their tentacles-or if in too much current will be unlikely to bubble. How much is too much??? HMMM? My BTA stays bubbled MOST of the...

Do you have a good book with fish parasites and diseases in it? I have one that is pretty gory, it is so graphic, but it sounds like a fluke or something similar. If it is, you can remove it manually with tweezers-if you can catchyour fish and keep him still long enough. He must have had it in...

If your LFS will let you 'borrow' or rent a butterfly-then great! I have 7 or 8 peppermints in my tank and they decimate any aiptasia that come in within 2 or three days. The live rock I purchase always seems to have some on it-as do any coral rock I buy-but these guys practically jump on the...

yOU CAN TRY!! Generally, they are so attached that you canno pry them loose and it doesnt sound like you have enough room to break the rock off and give them each a space. so, that leaves chopping off part of the mushroom, which probably wont hurt it anyway since that is how folks have been...

The flame is a shrimp eater-There are several posts on here about them, but I have not heard of them picking on other fish. I had one which was quite large for years in a 90 gal with a maroon clown, fairy wrasse, flame angel , marine beta and mandarin and he never bothered anyone.

AND?? Are you asking for opinions or want to know if someone has one for sale?

I have never had them respond to any of my e-mails either except when I had an order pending and they were out of the fish I ordered-after I had been billed so we did some negotiating for a different fish. They originited that e-mail, but the other inquiries I have sent were not confirmed nor...

Keep in mind that the most common cause of ich (other than introducing an already affected fish to the tank) is stress caused by temperature changes. SWF just cannot take rapid temp changes. Did you acclimate your fish slowly when introduced? Do you have a top quality heater with a programmable...

The pods purchase is a good idea-mine eats Live black worms, also purchased at the local fish store. put a few right in front of Kermits nose and he will skoff them up. They live for quite a while in the refrig. Also buy some more live rock. See if your dealer will sell you some from one of...

The bubble mystery has plagued most of us at one time or another. Put on your detectives hat, start at the top and work your way down (or vice-versa) (oh, and please use HECK or something instead of the other H word) Why do you have air in your return line? If your return pump and overflow are...

Lots of ways-A denitrex box packed with Nitrex, a functioning deep sand bed, a refugium or all of the above!! plus the old, feed lightly, siphon off detritus, harvest plant growth-work full time on the tank and never do anything else in life (this is what I do-work and work on my tanks)

A skimmer is a great addition to any saltwater tank-BUT-it is NOT a necessity in a lightly stocked fish only tank. You can run these pretty simply with a good filter. A canister to pack with biomedia is great as well as your bio-wheel which is for a 'home' for your good bacteria. There are so...

Got to go to church so this is my last post of the day. It could very well be a live remnant of a brain coral-cant tell anything really without pictures. Check some of the coral posts with pics and see ifyou can find something that looks like it. Plates also put our similar tentacles to feed...

Gotta sign off-Revival at church tongiht!! But, Unleashed want to thank you for your indepth response. My fish love this food (and so do my shrimp as noted earlier) and it is reassuring to know that it is harmless, yea, beneficial to them. Have a great rest of the weekend!!

tabs-tabulations-monitor your levels of ammonia and nitrite closely. info tells us that anything but 0 ammo and 0 nitrites are deadly, but I have found that not to be true-minute quantities of either are tolerated by many tough corals and fish as well-we dont want to encourage placing anything...

I think its pretty cool that you got rock with corals and live stuff already open and on them-at live rock prices! Now, I am kind of an optimist and there is a possibility you may salvage these. polyps are tough, the tiny guys are feather duster worms. the others might just be ' fishing worms'...

Yeah-you'd think they would know better! I am interested in seeing if you get a response from beth. Will not feed any more of that food till kow for sure! The pellets are just the right size for the shrimp though.

The recommendation for replacement is 6 months, which could vary depending on how many hours a day you use them. The Actinicis usually need replacing first.Does your pc give you options for bubl replacement? Mine has a standard replacement package-would have to look up the actual light values.
