I'm thinking that without any more posts maybe the triggers ate the owner when he tried to feed them... ***)

Also it shouldsay that on the container of salt (1/2 cup per gallon of water)

How big was the clam? Is his stomach shaped like a clam now? :notsure:

I use our Quisinart to prepare food enough for 2 to 3 months. I usually make a few batches so one batch is shrimp, scallops, nori, vitachem and the next batch is clam, squid, (sometimes octopus), garlic, Selcon. I spread it onto a wax paper covered pan and partially freeze so I can cut it into...

If your DT has no fish yet then just put it in there. There is no need to QT the first fish since it is alone either way so the the Dt can act as a QT. When you get more fish then QT them.

I've never really had a problem with them so I can't really help you. It doesn't help this companies reputation if they don't answer their calls and email though.

Actually that is a really low price. Also the Titan triggerfish requires a 700-1000 gallon tank when full grown.

I have 2 brittle stars, assorted snails, assorted hermit crabs, a few emerald crabs and the emerald crabs don't mess with the snails at all. I had some smaller snails and the blue legged hermit took over but then I put some shells in and the crabs get what they need. My hawaiian trigger also...

When a clam dies the shell opens all the way so that all the little crabs can come in and eat it.

I have both of the Seachem testkits. The Marine and the Reef kits. They work fine for me. Some of the tests I backup with the sailfert tests. I also monitor some of my water parameters with probes for pH, Orp, Temp, Salinity, Calcium. I plan on getting one that tests nitrates once I know that...

Usually the pH will be really high also. Precipitation will morely occur when the pH is on the high side.

IMO Ophuira and all of the mods should be applauded for all of the help they have given so many people. I have also benefited greatly from their posts and answers to my many many questions. :cheer: :cheer: thanks guys and gals!!

You should not need to feed them. Even if you use a DeNitrator there will be enough nitrates for them. They feed from the sand and not the water column so you can't really measure what they are getting.

I too think that if you are experienced and understand the issues with this creature then keep one if you want. The problem I have is this. When you go into a store to buy this does anyone have you fill out a questionarie to determine if you are qualified or knowledgable enough to keep one? If...

Hey Triggcity, I have some questions for you. Have you noticed if the triggers raise their triggers alot during feeding or other times? If so, observe what they are doing at the time they raise their trigger. Also, if one raises its trigger does another one do the same nearby? If so that may be...

Originally Posted by Bang Guy If you get 2 small Maroons there's a chance they will pair up. Maroons are the most difficult Clownfish to pair in my experience. Your tank is large enough to support 2 or 3 pairs of Clownfish IMO but I would expect the Maroon to immediately evict the Ocellaris out...

It's important to keep the thermometer in a part of the water before it gets to the heater. That can be in the MT or the sump. In other words the temp probe should be upstream from the heater.

Oh, can we see some pics of your tank?

I have a Hawaiian Trigger(5") with a Kole Tang (4"), Coral Beauty (3"), Maroon clown (1.5"), and a Diamond goby (2.5"). The one I need to keep an eye on is the clown and he is only 1.5 inches and totally is the boss. IMO if you keep them well fed they will be okay......until one goes postal

Funny thing is that your heading says "They said it couldn't be done" I don't think anyone said that. It's like you can put a tang in a 20 gallon tank, it can be done but shouldn't be done. I would have said to you before you put those fish together "not to do it" not that it can't be done. I...
