Last week I bought a rock with some xenia on it. They were open the first two days but have not opened since. My book says they need direct light and strong current. I have them placed about 6 inches from the top of the tank and in a moderate current and they still haven't opened. pH 8.2 ammonia...

Azonic No I did not get into this hobby because I thought it was cheap. When I bought my cleaner shrimp about 2 yrs ago it was $12. I had gotten it at ***** and they are usually expensive. My shrimp recently died and I went to price out a new one and was shocked. Peppermint shrimp though were...

I went to the lfs today and the prices of shrimp were terrible. For scarlet cleaner shrimp was $23.:eek: For a blood shrimp was $34.:eek: :eek: What is going on. Coral is so cheep compared to it. I bought a fist size rock with some xenia on it and another rock with two sponges, two leather...

It won't do what I want it to do. Everything I click on brings me to the wrong place. If I am on the home page and click on dry goods it takes me to the BB or the build it yourself packages. If I click on the other link it brings me here. At the top of the website where it says...

Not sure If I can ask this question but... Delete it if you want. Where can I get the best deal on a metal halide hood or retrofit kit? I am looking for something two VHO actinics and one or two mh bulbs. I need something that is 36" in length and 9 or 10 inches wide. It is a 46 gallon bow...

I have read that xenia will stop pulsing in an aquarium. One of the reasons is the flow of water around them. Not sure but I think the reason they pulse was to keep the water around it moving so it doesn't become stale. Adam

As far as I know there are two species of blue mushroom corals. One is of the Actinodiscus species and is called the blue giant mushroom and has a smooth surface. The other species is Actinodiscus coeruleus, the blue mushroom coral. I am guessing it is smaller although in the book they look...

I have the prizm skimmer and it $ucks. It was a waste of money. Ever since I got it. I usually just use it as a glorified powerhead. Once a month I use it for what it was made for and it will take out skum for a few days and after that pure water. Is it possible that there is not enough junk...

I think they are the most amazing fish. What would I need to keep one? and what precautions should I know about? I know they are crustacean and small fish eaters and are hard to feed frozen food to. The lionfish I would get would either be a fu man chu or the shortfin lionfish (dendrochirus...

Size does not really matter. Except that a smaller tank is more work and a LARGER tank is more work. 45 to maybe 75 I think is a better size to mantain. I have one tank that is 5.5 gallons. It is more work to keep it stable than my 46 gallon. As for live rock, you can never have too much...

I just baught a fire clown and it is very vicious. None of the fish I have ever had bite but this one does. The whole time I was cleaning the tank he kept trying to attack me. Finally when I reached behind the rocks he got me good. For a little fish it hurt. After that I couldn't put my hand...

Maybe that is what it is. It can't be the lights because he/she is out all the time. I have noticed that just after the day lights go off and it is the the actinic bulb He swims around the tank alot. Never noticed what it is doing but tomarrow I feed jsut after lights out. Adam

Can't be hiding. The two always were out in the front and then one day there was only one. I fed them to see if it would appear and nothing. I used to have a clean up crew but the hermits seemed to have killed each other off. I think either my anemone got it or it jumped. If it jumped I...

Yes but that wasn't it. They have caps and there wasn't a fish in it. Adam

I had two firefish and one is missing. No one has seen it since monday when I clid a big cleaning in the tank. I can't figure it out. One day its there the next it isn't. I can think of only three things. It is dead and can't find it. The anemone got it. Small bubble tip or The worst of all It...

Thanks Adam

Glazer your tank looks great. What kind of light system is that, how much, and where did you get it? Thanks Adam

I think all I would want is mushroom corals feather dusters and maybe a fish. Something small like a goby or clownfish or damsel. I would definetly go with more live rock, as much as I can take without making my large tank look bare. I was looking at lights and it is 169$$ for a 2 by 36 watt...
