Will all 3 of the species i mentioned try? I ve heard that starting em young can help...i just want a larger colorful fish as a centerpiece...ideas?

Id like to put a larger sized angel in my reef as a youngun' and hope that it wont eat my zoos, but something else is already (i think its a blue leg hermit, a coral beuaty, or a royal urchin, the blue leg is always all over em, but i hvent seen the other 2 messing...just suspects) anyway it...

I have been fighting hair algae for about 4 months now and its going away now. there is a small foot hgold that i plan on manually removing within the next week. I havent noticed any new growth only minor thickening of what minor algae is left. One thing that i tried is a hang on fuge, but i...

with those corals i wouldnt go lights out completely, id run maybe 6 hours a day until its gone. how large of a fish load do u have? how good is your pod scene? if u have good pod eaters/hunters and a good pod population id only feed maybe twice a week. my tank gets fed twice a week and is...

Do harlequin tusks eat snails? i thought that they were completely and utterly not reef safe, but i read on another website that they are fine in larger systems so long as u dont have a lot fo crabs or shrimps for them to gorge on. true or false?

Iam unsure if nitrite would be the main cause but i know it will certainly help. As far as testing goes, a lot of times problem organisms such as your cyanobacteria or algae use the problematic nutrients at a rate equal to that of it entering your system. the result is the problem testing at 0...

Heres what i did-- Aggressive pulling of hair 2-3 times a week for about 5-10 minutes a shot (pretty much until i got bored) I had tried P sponges in the past to no avail....but changing my carbon on a weekly basis started the decline in algae after about 3 weeks. Its not gone now, but is...

I know that linkia stars are not usually recommended, but id like to try a non brittle/serpent star in my 125 reef. I like the looks of blue linkia, orange linkia and fromia type stars. Are any of these any less sensative than any others? I know that food is often a problem, but i have a lot...

i have a tank and i have a small hair problem, but i think the skimmer is helping to remove the problem rather than cause it. I dont see how skimmer could possibly add to an algae problem. the notion just seems rediculus to me. as simple as it sounds once i started chaning my carbon weekly my...

what do u mean by "special packaging" i got a few as hitchhikers...i think they just showed up one day

i have 2 questions: 1. Someone told me that cannister filters create nitrate and nitrite out the wazoo. Is this true? Both test 0 for me but i have a healthy patch of algae. Would i be better off with just a large magdrive or similar? 2. Some people in my local reef club are buying...

what is saturation feeding?

I think bang posted once about cod liver oil encouraging clowns/cardinals to spawn if it is mixed into their food. I ask because i cant get my clowns to spawn. I've had em (true percs) for about a year and a hlf now and I really want them to. My water is great, pretty coinstant light cycle and...

I cant find a good resource so wherever you go your info would give me great spring break reading material. :) Are the larvae free floating or are the "land motile" (i made that phrase up obviously)? If they arent floating, why wouldnt some migrate to "enclosed areas." I understand it wouldnt...

Thats what the dmall mworlds would be for. the grating on the top is very small....id THINK small enough for baby shrimp to fit through but not adults. why else are they tough to raise? the pan was to just put a little food in the container every night and remove uneaten with a water change...

why?

I am planning on setting up a 29 (in a very bare/"sterile" way) for proping skunk cleaners. Iknow that they are hermaphrodidic and such and having 2 that are well fed/secure often leads to egg carrying and such. I plan on having 1 piece of live rock or lace just for security purposes. To...

I ordered 3 CBs that were supposed to be jevenile/small and got 3 monsters. My goal was to form a harem. They came in ginormous and one was DOA. The other 2 fought the 1st day but now are sharing caves, not chasing each other eating and everything else that would be normal. They are about 3...

they should be fine :) they might move to get more light tho...thats what mine do

IMO leave it alone. It moved itself there, so it must like it for some reason. It may take a while for it to open again, but id just let it do its thing
