    Mandarin fish help!!!!!

    I was worried about the pod population for my new manderin, but I found what I think is the answer. My LFS sells what they call "Oister eggs". It comes in a jar and you put a small amount in the tank 2-3 times a week. It feeds the existing pods and allows them to reproduce extremely fast. I have...

    My jellyfish tank diary.

    Got another question. I read earlier in the thread that a chiller is needed to keep the water colder than normal to keep the jellies, but why is that so. I live in FL and have seen jellies off the coast during the summer when the water temp is in the high 70's to mid 80's. Is that just due to...

    My jellyfish tank diary.

    May sound like a stupid question, but why would you need a skimmer. I dont have one on my reef and everything seems to be fine, and its a 30g.

    My jellyfish tank diary.

    All I can say is amazing!!!! Few questions: 1) Where can you buy jelly fish? 2) what kind of filtration could you use on a 10g jelly tank? 3) What temp do they need to be kept at?

    Clowns killed him!

    well about 2-3 months ago I went from 2x daily feeding to once daily feeding, but that was months ago, this problem only started a week ago. Now that the chromie is dead they seem just fine.

    Clowns killed him!

    I understand that, but what doesn't make sense to me is the timeline. They were fine together for over 6-6 months, then one day they go nuts.

    Clowns killed him!

    Ok about a week ago I posted that for some reason my two clowns had become very aggressive toward the blue/green chromie that I also had in the tank. This struck me strange, as they had been in the same tank together for over 5 months with no problems. It was also strange that while they were...

    wHAT THE HELL?

    Ok I posted a post the other day asking about my clowns. I have 2 clowns and a chromie in a 7 month old tank. They have been in there together for at least 5 months with no problems. But over the last two days the clowns have torn the cromie almost to pieces. My wife made me set up a hospital...

    Lid Vs No Lid On Tank

    My buddy used the egg crate, then put a fine mesh like material over. It allowed the heat and gasses to escape, but it impossible for the fish to get out.

    Is Superglue Reef safe???

    There is regular liquid superglue and gel superglue. The gel is fine to use in the tank. I use it to glue frags to the rockwork in my tank.

    QT Question

    Ok right now I have a 30g and no QT. I plan within the next 2-3 years to upgrade to a 200+ gallon. Once I finish chiropractic school and get a house. Ok here is my question. Many fish have "minimum tank size requirements" of 50, 60, 75g. If I get a new fish, lets say a tang with a 55+g...

    Frogspawn

    Ok i bought a frogspawn today, and have a question. I asked the guy at the LFS what these things eat, because i wasn't sure, but the guy said they filter feed. I thought they needed to be fed. Question is do they and if so what do they like? How often do you recommend feeding?
