i do honestly think, (and hope), that in the future all marine animals sold to aquarist will be tank reared. i don't see any reason why it wouldn't, other than this hobby being so new. it's gaining more popularity now, so more people are into it, and the demand will outweigh the supply one...

they are more than likely hiding from you. some, like the red scarlet hermits, only like to come out in the dark it seems. you would find at least a shell, or pieces of dead hermits if they were dieing off imo.

make sure to at least get it some strong lighting. and keep your water as nice as possible. feeding isn't that much of a prob. the clown will help it with that. don't get one unless you plan to make an effort to keep it as happy as possible. good luck, and do lots of research before you...

wow steamboat, that's pretty odd. i don't blame you for being a domino hater... i'd a flushed those ba$tards also =) all fish compatibility (sp?) comes down to the fish... more than just what types.. --- of the fish matters also, but who can tell that from damsels? i know i sure can't, and...

i had a false perc also, and bought an anemone, and it paid it no mind. mine never bothered anything. just played in the current all day. my roomate has a maroon clown, which is the one that tore up the plate coral. the maroon always had an anemone until it died off here recently. i think...

it should be okay without the fan, two of mine are set up on fans, the other two are not. if i leave the one set without fans on all day, it doesn't hurt anything. just feel the air that comes out the fans now, after it's been on a while. if it feels too hot for you not to run them, then...

beth is not totally wrong about politics and money over the environment. i live in louisiana, which is well known for corrupt politics, and here they are trying to make it illegal to change out or alter your car's computer, in search of better performance tuning. BUT, there are diesel engines...

is that an activated carbon of some sort? what makes you want to use it?

could be a mantis, or anything else for that matter... if you hear popping, it's quite possible. i've lost 2 healthy fish and a peppermint shrimp in 3 weeks to a suspected mantis in my tank. good luck. here's a good article on mantis..<a...

i was wondering how you were going to use 48" vhos on a 20g?

as long as they each have their own space, you may be okay. they will have run ins though more than likely. domino damsels are known to be anemonefish, and might have been trying to host inside your elegance coral as a substitute. could have been what happened to yours, steamboat..

i had 4 damsels in a 10 gallon at one time (not recommended, but possible =) they were all different varieties.. 4 stripe, blue devil, green chromis, and a yellow damsel. i've heard the larger damsels, such as the velvet, are not compatible very well with other damsels. green chromis make...

and what gets me are these evolutionary scientist, who say that quite possible ALL living creatures on earth could have originated from the ocean, yet we are quick to destroy it senselessly. <img src="graemlins//yell.gif" border="0" alt="[yell]" />

nice nano, naso =) why not a background? i think a solid background would do wonders for it. jmo though..

feed as little as possible. small amounts more often are better than one large feeding. enough live rock will provide lots of food.

it should work. use equal number of bulbs actinic with 10oooks. go with the most watts you can for the anemone, and keep excellent water quality. good luck.

water quality is more important than lighting imo, but the lighting is nice.. :)

right on ed, i agree.
