How's the feeding going? Quote: I see, I have many hungry fish in the tank and am just worried that no coral will get them lol. I laughed when I saw this because my fish don't bother when I'm feeding the coral, but the Scarlett cleaner shrimp does. I only feed my candy cane, I use a syringe...

I completely agree with you Mr. Limpid. Besides being in-humane it just doesn't make sense from a business perspective either. Most of those SW fish are pricey and you can't sell them if they're dead. Poor water quality in a tank with dozens of guppies or 15 cent gold fish is one thing....it's a...

I have a BioCube as well, and after seeing yours I'm really inspired! Do you have the HQI lighting or the one with the two 36 w. bulbs? If you don't mind me asking, what made you almost give up on it?

I'll test again tonight after I turn the lights in the aquarium out. The lights are always on from 4:30 - 9:30. I usually test during the middle of the day (when there's plenty of bright natural light outside) so that I can go next to a window and compare the color in the test tube to the color...

Sorry for hijacking your thread Seth, but after much research and waiting and then more research and more waiting.... I've finally decided on a Midas Blenny! Woo hoo!! Oh sorry, I mean Ecsenius midas After I get the Midas and he's served his 4 - 6 weeks in QT then I'll purchase Orchid...

I bought a simple sponge filter a while ago expecting to use it for my QT. I kept it in the sump of my DT to build up some good bacteria. Unfortunately, after I attached the air pump I realized that it is the NOISIEST filter I have ever heard! It makes a REALLY loud 'air bubble popping' sound...

Wonderland, I love your taste in fish! Like Snake, I've been searching for something to add to my 29 gallon. You've given me some ideas... Do you think a Midas Blenny or Fridmani Pseudo would get along with a pair of territorial Ocellaris clowns?

Gosh, what a beautiful tank! Is that a BioCube?? I really like how you placed the rocks. Did you place them up against the back or leave space between the back wall and the rocks? The only reason I ask, is because I sometimes wonder if I should have placed my rocks close up against the back...

I admire your fortitude, stay strong and positive Sending you and your loved ones a big huge {{Hug}}

Thank so much! Quote: you should check pH just before lights out I'll check it out tonight, as soon as the lights go off and see if it's different. Quote: algae truf scrubber What's that? So adding some macro algae will help? I can buy some at my LFS, does it need to be put in a QT? I've...

Did you put this tank in the "Take of the Month Contest", is that still going on???

Quote: Tough call, nothing worse than watching a fish get picked on. If it were me, I'd return the firefish to the lfs, just to be safe. Two clowns in a small tank are going to be VERY territorial. You could wait and see what happens but you run the risk of waking up and finding the little guy...

Quote: Places like that should be reported to the anti curtly organization, they probably wouldn't do anything about it because fish are considered food not pets. Know if they treated there dogs that way, that would be a whole different story. I honestly couldn't believe how horrible it was...

aaaahhhh!! That makes more sense! lol Can two fish be put into the QT at one time, or is it better to do one at a time?

I think my Fire Fish is being picked on by my two False Perc. clowns. The Fire Fish and 2 clowns are the only fish in the 29 gallon tank. I've been noticing the Fire Fish is hiding in her little cave more and more over the past few weeks. I've also witnessed the clowns (I'm not positive if it's...

Please let me know where you got the portal thing when you find out! My hubby still owes me a valentines day present

Quote: cooral snf What's 'snf'? Quote: depends on the person and condition of your fish. Typically four to six weeks. Thanks! It'll be a little while (4 - 6 weeks) until I'm ready for some more coral. I only have one QT and I'm ready for a new fish. So after the fish has had his/her time in the...

On a side note.... my LFS never carries any magazines, and I really wanted a copy of "2012 Coral & Reef USA". I went to one of those huge nationwide chain pet supply places (I won't mention the name, but there's basically only 2 out there and this was one of them) . Sure enough they had a copy...

Quote: In most cases, I dip my corals in lugos iodine How do you do this exactly? How much iodine & water? Do you still use the lugos iodine as well as a coral dip (like Coral Rx) and dip in Flatworm Exit? Should I use all 3 (or any combo) before it goes into the QT? Quote: FYI Prime on hand...

Quote: What is that portal thing? I want one immediately. Me too!!
