Too Funny Pufferlover. My husband and I do not smoke. We do not let anyone smoke in the house. :eek: Who ever smokes is more then welcome to step out front or back to light up. I guess my fishy's are non-smokers. :D Shel

3-prong timers from Home Depot. No problems at all.

Hi everyone! A friend of mine who helps me on my 125G is thinking of starting a little reef tank. He orginally bought the tank for his cichlids, they are out growing his current tank. He bought the hood, light, underground filteration etc. We were talking last night and he going to take back...

Take it slow, I know it is hard. You will thankful later. I'm glad you bought a gold stripe maroon clown :D . In my opinion they are the best clown fish. I bought one like 5 weeks ago to put with my female maroon clown. Good luck! Shel :rolleyes:

I have a dragon wrass with hermit crabs, feather dusters, sally light foot crab and a emerald crab. He has claimed one feater duster as his own. He does not hurt it, he keeps it on his pile of shells where he sleeps. I would not try it with the shrimp, I really think he would eat it. I feed...

I have 2 tangs. One naso, one Ocean. I was giving them the seaweed daily. I thought it was to much. I had a lot of waste, you know how bad that is. I give it to them once a week as a treat. Mine will not touch the hair algae either. I pull it off by hand. I feed them a pinch of flake in the...

Hey NMReef, That is a nice story. I have 2 reasons to like you now. First you saved the clowns, second you were raised Arizona. :D Shel

I perform water changes daily on the sicky tank. Mine is a 10 gal, so I do about a 1 gal, maybe 2. Shel

I have a 10g sicky tank. I don't even leave it set up. I set it up when I need it. I take water from my 125g, treat it with what I am using. A couple clay pots for them to hide in. I do a water change daily. I have a filter on the back and one power head in the tank. When the fish is...

Sorry to hear about your tang. :( You should find the body and remove it. Watch where the hermit crabs are, they show you where the dead tang is. I lost a lawnnmower blemmie, all I did was look for the biggest hermit crab in the tank, sure enough their he was eating the lawnmower. He is...

Have to agree with Grouperhead on this. 38 gallon is to small for tangs. They like to swim for distance and speed. How about a pair of clowns ( I say Maroon Gold Stripe) you could also have a flame hawk. Shel :D

Otto, I did not know you could have more then one Manderine goby in the same tank, I always thought they would fight. Hmmm.... I would love to them do there little routine, that would too cool to watch. Shel

I agree with fixit. If you don't feed them enough then need to get their food from somewhere. I have a flame hawk fish in my 125 with an assortment of crabs. (Hermit, big and small. Sally light foots, emerald crabs) They are all still alive. If I put ghost shrimp in, he is the first to...

Maroon clowns are the best, I love my two. I could not imagine not having them. :D Shel

First I wanted to say that I enjoyed everyones stories. I like Misty and sublim said I have my lights on timers they click off at diffrent times along with the fans for the MH. All the fish have their own area, when the first lights go off, the chomis go to bed. Everyone else waits for the big...

I have a 4inch Maroon clown. I added a 1 1/2 inch Maroon gold stripe. It has been 3 weeks and they are doing fine. No agresion towards each other, no fin nipping or anything. The little one swam right up to the big girl. (He looked like "Hey Babe!") She checked him out. That same night the...

I know in clown fish, the female is the bigger of the 2. :p Maybe the bright pretty ones are the males? Just a guess! Good question, looking forward to finding out the truth

Well everybody, I am back from Rocky Point. My fish look wonderful, no problems everybody is accounted for. :) I had a good time, but I am glad to be home. I almost stepped on a sting ray, But I did'nt, so we are both fine. That is what I get for beinng where I should not have been. :(...

Thanks everybody, Shel

Take the clown and trigger back to the lfs. They are your favorite fish, you would fell bad if you lost them do to rushing, take you time and let it cycle. Good luck! Shel
