    new tank stocking wish list

    hey, I have a 47 gallong, 30" high tank that I want to make a home for an eel, a lionfish and maybe a panther grouper. Lionfish would most likely be volitan. The eel would be Zebra, Banana/goldentail or snowflake Would that be too many fish in the tank? thanks

    Is this a sponge or a sessile invertebrate?

    Q-tip sponges: As the name implies, these are sponges that are about the same size and shape as the end of a q-tip swap. They have a small opening at the top, and can also look a bit like a pineapple. Like spirorbid worms, they are often found in young tanks. They are harmless filter feeders...

    Is this a sponge or a sessile invertebrate?

    Perplexing dilema

    no corals...at least 1 polyp on the live rock though I noticed the odd dark area soon after getting the fish....you have to be real close to see..but it is easy to see once you look for it. It has been a steady but slow addition of dark scales for about 2 months now. At first it was only on 1...

    Perplexing dilema

    ok...there have been zero signs of ick since the long before the last post. so either it was not ick or the fish may have a slight immunity to it. What I am confused over is the dominant fish...my tomato clown shortly after we got him in October we noticed what looked to be darker squiggly...

    Perplexing dilema

    So the Live Brine Shrimp, snails and Damsel were purchased on 11/15 and over the next 8-10 days I view what looks like ick...off and on. That first weekend I gave the clownfish a freshwater dip and let him in a low salinity tank for about 4 hours....seemed the white spots fell off soon after. I...
