when you first get an anenome they can take a few weeks to feel comfortable and find the right spot. BTAs dont really kill themselves like bahamian purple tip condy's and some others are known to do. dont go moving rocks around to help it, let it help itself, it should be fine. if the fit is...

jpc i agree with bang (as usual). when you first place an invert in your tank they will usually shed within the first 2 -6 days because of the change in water parameters from where they came. also, younger inverts are growing faster to get to adult size, so they will molt more often. that one...

beautiful eel. i love banana's some people keep banana's in reef tanks, fairly safe. i have seen one in a 180 SPS dominated bowfront, very sick indeed.

bronco are you gluing down small frags with superglue gel or using putty cement ?

man, reminds me of selling top -end porcelain flowers on the bayat my old job.... i saw the parrot for what it's worth wade

PD, IME - i kept a BTA for 2 years under VHO (not PC, VHO is admittently stronger) although the anenome moved occasionally it would usually be in place for long periods of time until i made a change to the tank that may have warranted it to move, but the last year it did not move at all. this...

nice fish, but you caught it in oahu? how did you get it home to colorado? how did you catch it? and why are you holding it in your hands?

how long has your tank been up and running? usually its safe to start putting corals in a tank that is stable and running for 6 months. what lights do you have? how much flow in turnover do you have? beginner corals i feel some of the easiest ones are the softies. corals like zoanthids and...

yeap, i totally misconstrued what you said! LOL post #2 is confusing , threw me for a loop. i do the same as you.

thanks philip!

the coral looks like it was a porites, or some other similar encrusting SPS. common on LR. ok, yea a picture is worth a 1000 words in this hobby, i got into the habbit of taking pics of everything and then asking questions with them to save time, becuase we will ask you for them 90% of the...

i never ever would use tap

pretty much inevitable, but it may take 3-4 weeks for them to show in a brand new system.

so your rio 1700 is not a powerhead (pump in the tank just for circulation) but a sump return pump? how far is the water travelling vertically? 5' ? is that the only source of water flow in the tank? here is what i found about the rio 1700 Flowrate Chart: Head Height______GPH...

can you blow it off with a turkey baster? what powerhead? what do you think your overall GPH turnover is? as for the eggs most likely time will not tell. most eggs only last a few days before being eaten. if the eggs are not eaten, then the hatchlings / fry make for great fresh fish / coral food.

i see the pics 1 and 2 looks like a type of cyano that is building up on the dead coral. this is just a nuissance algae, usually defeated with upping the tank flow and lowering nutrients and light time. what are your params, how much flow running? 3 i have no clue, some type of algae / sponge...

spanko, a general good rule of thumb for this hobby i have heard for years and adhere to myself is, "Never put something into your tank that you don't test for." this also includes things you obviously CANT test for. the supplements you are speaking of , Iodine, Strontium & Molybednium, are...

do you test for those supplements?
