I really wanted one as well... I researched everywhere and got totally different opinions on every specie, but I talked to someone who had H. acuminatus, and it tore through every coral and polyp he had immideatly, so I passed... again, its a hit or miss with this one, but probably a miss...

yup thats 'em! thanks, Sammy :) so will these guys get out of control? or should I just let them all be? Drew :)

thanks for the compliments :D are you sure its a tubeworm? its tentacles seemed pretty 'meaty'... not like the usual feathers... and the spirals are conjoined into a disk... I didnt mention it, but it's not like a usual tubeworm "spiral"... hmmmmmmmm is there such a limpet? or maybe it IS a...

Today, I noticed along the sides of the tank glass, there seem to be small colonies of these little guys. They are spaced maybe a couple inches apart, and range from 1mm to minute sizes that I can barely tell are there. They are white in appearance, have a hard shell, and adhere to the glass...

I just came across something saying skimmers are a good weapon against nitrates... I never really thought of it before. I dont use a DSB, and am skimmerless, and my nitrates are up at a constant ~10-15... how would a skimmer affect the nitrates? thanks, Drew :)

new2gether, I think he can tell theres a lot of work involved in such a tank... can you? a 20 gallon could never house ANY trigger or grouper... let alone both. they are too big, aggressive, and messy!!! btw, a dsb is a deep sand bed. basically, its main objective is to create a suitable...

how long has your tank been up?

I really do like tomatoes... all Ive seen around here [without having to mailorder] are tank-raised false/true percs. I might go with the ocellaris, but... has anyone had any experience with tomatoes w/o an anemone?... Drew :)

I know clowns dont need anemones, but I know they do make them happy. is there a species of clown that does not associate with anemones in the wild? Its very difficult for me to get any sort of tank-raised species around here, and I wont mail order... I really wanted a pair of tomato clowns or...

yup, I have a lot of LR... about 140+lbs... and calm down lotr... Ive had it up for 3 months and it took me forever before I even considered adding a fish. and if I put the kole in, the angel wouldnt go in for at least another month... just to clarify so you dont pop a gasget or anything. I was...

I already have a royal gramma, a flame angel, and a lot of inverts. Its been up for just over 3 months, and my macro is everywhere. I just wanted to add a juvenile kole tang... I will be adding another Centropyge sp later... havent decided... I know koles are not very aggressive, and I will be...

Im not waiting for adding a tang last anymore... I want one in there now! ;) theres too much macro for me to be pulling out and my flame angel doesnt do much of a job... I have low lighting, and the razor caulp grows these long strands that wave around and get stuck on everything... they...

I know they will go after small fish/inverts, but has anyone had any experience with them in a reef? Drew :)

asides from tangs, what other fish have you had good experience with for keeping macro levels low? and that is reef-safe? also, which tangs do you think are the best MACRO GRAZERS? Ive heard Acanthurus spp, then Zebrasoma spp... then neither... I just want to know what youve had good...

In my 2.5 month old 90 gallon, I dont have a sump or refugium it is a reef in progress with a few small corals, and a LOT of macro growing everywhere... I wanted a pb tang to go in there eventually, but I know he would probably go last due to aggression reasons... I was thinking of a heniochus...

I just want to comment on YOUR idea of stocking tanks... you are being COMPLETELY selfish. cramming all those fish in such a small tank. think about how they could live in the wild? Yes I know every fish has billions of gallons to swim in, but being responsible pet owners, we give them as much...

okay, Im not french, dont have many french friends, but I have been speaking it for over 10 years now. this person obviously understands english, and french is probably their second language... its pretty obvious because of the language mistakes they are making... Im gonna go out on a limb here...

I know many many many people who use PURE NH3 to cycle FRESHWATER tanks... I dont know if it would be the same for sw... its not a crazy idea, a lot of people do it, but Ive never known someone to use it for sw... you can be the first ;) but, if it is pure, I dont see why not... all I can...

yes. cons are supposed to spawn in good conditions. but they would probably be the "kings" of your wayyyyy-overstocked 29 gallon. trust me, convicts would spawn in a mud puddle in the middle of a thunder storm in freezing weather if given half a chance. they are NOT hard to spawn and all it...

thats exactly why I wanted to know :) my lfs will "quarantine" but its in a copper tank... so, it still counts, right? :| I just dont have a qt tank and Id rather have the lfs do it for me... Drew :)
