Really? So doing a 33% (or more since the tank is not actually filled with 24 gallons) is okay? I had heard to do smaller changes so that I dont start up another cycle...

I like your aquascaping.....I can already tell that your tank will look great once you get it going!

Yeah, mine expelled some brown slime from its mouth (regurgitated, maybe?) By the way, your clown is really cute looking. I like the way he is peeking around the corner in the one pic!

Oh....And Welcome to the Boards! I hope you find lots of help and input here!

Sometimes the clowns get even moe territorial when an anemone is in the picture....I feel like if you were to add one, you might disrupt the balance that you have. I agree with itom37 that you should look to have only one species of the clowns in your tank. Perhaps choose a favorite type and...

I am hoping to get a clam that I can put on the bottom sandbed....Is that acceptable for a squamosa or does it prefer to be perched on a rock higher up...

Oh, And I am adding in boxed saltwater which I tested and it has zero nitrates

Hi I am trying to lower my Nitrates from about 50 to zero (hopefully). I have a 24 gallon tank and did a 10% water change yesterday, as well as changing the carbon in my phosban and adding some cheato to my tank. Today I did another 10% water change but when I tested my nitrates, they havent...

Thanks teen I didn't think about them growing out of my tank. I imagined that they grew slowly....

Okay... I will make sure to get my nitrates down to zero first! Thanks

My bulb is about 14 months old.... Would it be wise to put the new bulb in and shorten the amount of time that the light is running for the first few weeks? Or is there something else I should do...?

Hi I just ordered a new MH powerpaq bulb 70w 14000k for my aquapod. I figured it is probably time to put a new one on. Anyone know how often you should change these bulbs? Also, can I just put the new bulb in and run it as usual or do I need to shorten the length that I runt he new bulb so that...

I am hoping to get a clam or two once I get my nitrates down from 40....I was wondering if you feed them anything special?

Yes, I am currently trying to get the trates down.... I have been slightly lax on the water changes and I am motivated now to keep up with them and get the trates down. I also bought some cheato yesterday and I am hoping that will help with the trates. I forgot to mention the salinity is at...

I think it definatley has the potential to recover... I had a frogspawn once that did the exact same thing and it came around. It did die on one or two of the heads, but the other heads survived. Hopefully it will come around...

I am not sure here (and I know someone will correct me if I am wrong) but I believe that they are born sexless (termed "juvenilles") and that in the wild, when there are many of them in a single anemone, there is only one dominant (and much larger) female and one mating male, and that all the...

Hi guys I am just getting back into the game here after a traumatic tank crash last may. My current 24 gallon has been up since early July. I have metal halide lights (70w 14000k). My tank is home to one clownfish, a few snails and hermits, and I am currently trying to get ready to add some...

How did you acclimate the frog spawn and what kind of lights are you using?

My losing battle is trying to keep my nitrates down (they are around 40). I think I over feed my clown but everytime I walk by he looks so hopeful that I am going to put some flake in that sometimes I cant resist his little food dance!

Thanks rcoultas... I am only concerned because i have a black saddle back who has been living as the sole fish in his tank since May. I think he might be lonely and wanted to try and get him a mate, but I would feel terrible if I added in another fish and one killed the other so I thought if I...
