hey bubbu still looking i see so i didnt scare you off after all lol above prices all look right and i know you like most of us here are on a budget but honestly just want to make sure you understand a smaller tank can be done for cheaper than a large tank but they will require more attention...

dont know about that one. probably is easier to get to eat prepared foods. make sure to see it eating at the LFS to be sure. take a look in the fish section probably some posts about them there.

they will come and go not really a major concern with lighting i find mine grow better in caves and shaded spots. you will get better corraline growth once you upgrade lighting but for now fowlr reg florecent is ok just make sure bulbs are for saltwater and not freshwater. i believe that could...

im assuming you have a new tank so plese do not get the mandarin quite yet. they require lots of established live rock in a mature system you have the clowns coming they should help to hold down the pod population. nothing to worry about just means a good start to a hopefully to be healthy tank.

aerating it with an airstone will raise the ph of newly mixed salt water. by doing this for 24-36 hours it should be close to what you want in your tank.

Originally Posted by TurningTim Well, the first thing I see is that you have a ugf, CC and then covered with sand. The CC will migrate to the top leaving the sand behind, then more than likly the sand will clog the ugf making useless. This may lead to a huge anaerobic area and then a blow up of...

could have just been a death i lost one emerald same situation he just died the other has done well since the day i added them both. as long as your feeding the tank i would say its not starvation. ive read that sometimes they do molt and dont survive that

i would probably attempt to remove them with a tweezer under tank water in a bowl, i would worry about using any of the treatments like joes juice near a coral. or try the natural treatment of a peppermint shrip or i believe a copperband butterfly. i added one peppermint shrip months ago and...

lol no idea but sounds cool any articles say it was a bad thing?

read the cureing process for reccomended time lenght Im usually in in my LFS every week so i know when they get shipments and how long its been in the tank. after its been in there tank for a week or two if i like a piece ill have it pulled out and weighed and smell for die off if everythign is...

im sorry but keeping those fish seperate is probably a mute point. take the fish back, or give them to a LFS for credit hopefully. and re do the cycle get the tank set up correctly and then you can start to add fish. i dont know to much about anenomes but if they die which im pretty concerned...

check the twin cities classifieds out or the classified on this forum. there are deals out there.

live rock when it is shipped goes through a die off (many orginisms in the rock and on the rock out of water die). once put in LFS tank it starts to regain its live status. over the course of time the dieoff is gone and only live rock remains If the LFS just got rock in it may be dangerous to...

if buying cured from the LFS smell the rock as well if it has a strong smell than it is not fully cured and has dieoff (do not put that in) will need to be recured if no noticable smell other than regular tank smell that i would not worry about adding it without curing. (unless you leave it out...

she is right he will come out when he feels more comfortable. give it some time then put some food in there will probably draw him out to eat. they can get into some very tight spots and love little caves in the rock

i would think that it would have to be a pretty massive die off for them to effect levels. and if the whole batch did die then there my be other problems as well to cause that. I dont have any experience with live brine so im outta my league here maybe youll just get a bunch of fat fish outta...

Originally Posted by Deny I like the lawnmower blennies. But my tank has just finished cycling and there is no algae. I read that they will starve if there is not enough algae for them to eat. Should I wait a while before getting one? Also, aren't Angel fishes difficult (especially for a...
