    skimmer and phytoplankton

    Hiya, Rob, thanks! That's what I figured, but wanted to make sure. The noise of the skimmer is bothering my husband, so I'll probably run it opposite of my lighting schedule. That way, he won't have to listen to it while he's watching TV. Meadbhb

    skimmer and phytoplankton

    Hiya, I set my skimmer up about three days ago and it looks like it's broken in. I fed the tank some DT the other night and this morning I noticed a small amount of water in my collection cup that was green tinted. Could my skimmer have taken the DT out of the water? Do you guys turn you...

    Scooter blenny doing weird things

    HIya, My scooter changed colors from when I brought him home until he was in the tank a few days. When some fish are stressed out they loose color, so he's probably showing his true color. As for the digging, puffing, and sifting, yeap, all normal behavior. The sifting is his way of finding...

    The smallest king

    Hiya, I thought they used the anenomies for defense and food gathering, but I have no idea if the sting is strong enough to act as a deturant to the other fish. It seems to be since they swim away when he waves them at them. Meadbhb

    Hiya, Start out with a little and build up until you're supplying enough for them to eat in 5 minutes. Also, a variety of foods are better. How would you like to eat the same thing for every meal? ::not a flame:: Meadbhb
