I've seen the color I have, sort of yellow I guess, and one that was kind of reddish purple. No need to send the tang police, Thejdshow. Mine looks bigger than he/she actually is, plus I'm hoping that my wife will fall in love with him/her. That would mean having to upgrade to a larger tank...

Originally posted by WHO DEY i strongly suggest adding calcium if you wanna keep your coraline growing healthy Dosing will probably help, but to steal an old addage often used here, don't add supplements for things you aren't testing.

Originally posted by exile415 why do you want to paint the back of your tank ? Some people like the look of a solid color as opposed to using the tape-on style of backgrounds. Did you use the "search" function to read though old posts? I think I remember reading one in which someone...

Originally posted by drew2005 Any opinions? :thinking: It looks fine to me, but since you did ask I'd like to offer a suggestion. I like my rock stacked higher so it doesn't look like its all in the bottom half of the tank. I read another posting on here, and used the idea, for safely...

That sounds fine. I'd run mine basically full if I could, but I have some older non-submersible heaters (that I need to upgrade). I have my 10 gallon nano filled so that the waterline just touched the plastic strip. That helps me to maintain the same water level for my top-offs too.

Are you using a swing-arm hydrometer to measure your salinity? A few quarts wouldn't cause that big of a change in a 90 gallon tank. Can you rephrase your drip question? Are you talking about drip acclimating a species overnight??

My 2 ocellaris were my first 2 fish. I added the ritteri on Tuesday. picture 1:

I saw this thread and couldn't resist the temptation to post my pictures. I just got my ritteri on Tuesday night. It started hosting my 2 ocellaris (sp?) some time last night. It was about the size of a softball when I was transporting it from the LFS, but now it has opened up to about 12"...

Originally posted by chingchong Iare the blue bulbs really the true actinic 03 ? I've never seen the fixture myself, but from several other postings I've read they are NOT true actinic bulbs.

Unless you want to trade him to an LFS, yes.

Originally posted by TangMaster Notice the ocean has no under water power heads. I wasn't suggesting using the powerhead to create an underwater current, but rather to direct its flow towards the water surface to creates waves on the surface. The ocean does this thanks to the gravitational...

No, some stars can't be spot fed. They won't take the food.

Mine will eat krill, but LOVES cockle. I get it in frozen sheets from my LFS.

Thanks, bcollie! Here is a bigger shot of my 2 "boys". Jake (on the left) is almost 4 now. Chase (on the right) is a little over 7. This picture is a year old, but they look about the same. :D

Yes, I have a HOB filter and small powerhead in my 10 gallon nano.

I forgot to mention in the previous post that when I do find mine, I try to flip them over myself. A few times I found them in time and they lived. If not, they are a nice snack for my hermits and crab. :D

I would definitely spot feed him 2-3 times/week. They can't survive on algae alone. When you say "grazing", do you ever see him eating any of your inverts? Those would suffice instead of spot feeding. I usually wait until mine is near the surface. If you catch your leaning one or two arms...

Yes, I only seem to have the problem with Turbos and I don't plan to buy any more.
