Hey, I was sortof a scientist in a previous life also - Med Tech in a Medical Laboratory, you? I'm encouraged that your corals are doing well, I was just today drooling over a toadstool that I'm thinking would make a great "host" for my clowns. I have 2 false percs in a 10g - that tank has no...

Revision: you didn't say crap, you said a silly waste of money - my mistake. But also, your tank really DOES look nice :yes:

Hmmm, another thing to consider is whether the creatures in those tanks are there long term - probably not, or else he wouldn't be in business for 20 years. Not to be confrontational or anything, but I DO feel compelled to point out that your anemone "isn't doing well" hmmm maybe not a bunch of...

The general feedback on this board is that for an anemone to do well, it needs a mature tank of at least 6 months. It sounds like ou had a really fast cycle. How are your corals doing? Iwant to start adding some easy ones to mine :)

No, it really was $400.00 - my response was "well, maybe just the goby this time"....LOL

Well, there are probably 2 ways of looking at this: do you really want the LFS to sell anyone who walks in that cute little yellow tang even tho all they've got is a 2 day old 10 gallon tank? One the other hand, there is a way to ask questions and be informative without being rude, and it sounds...

Want to bump this up to hear whether other people do this extra filter thing? Also, what about air fresheners? I'm thinking anything which is an aerosol is a bad idea? The problem is, I've also got 3 dogs, so getting a "nice" smell in my house can be a real challenge!!!

How many powerheads do you have?

When a cloud of brown algae forms around them, they're probably dead then too.

You can buy a mated pair, but many people do it themselves - if you look in the "clownfish and anemones" area you'll find many many threads describing pairing up clowns. As near as I can tell, the only really tricky type is the Maroon Clown, but people have had success with those as well. Hey...

You have an RBTA in a 15 gallon? How long have you had it and how is it doing (except for the damsel :D )

What kind of food will a hawkfish eat once your crustaceans are gone?:notsure: You're telling me that I can't successfully keep a cleaner shrimp with a hawkfish, and Ill have to fear for the life of my favorite emerald crab? What if I wait until my crab gets bigger? Is there a size limit to the...

Very, very sorry for your loss - I love clownfish also. My understanding is that the remaining clown will eventually become female if left alone in the tank for a few weeks. You should be able to form a new pair with a smaller clownfish than the one you have. See, now THIS clown gets to be the...

What kind of shrimp will a hawkfish bother?

I feed twice day: Flake (spirulina) in the morning and something meaty in the evening.

Do you have any way of knowing how much weight that ledge can hold?

The edge of a credit card can sometimes work also :)

Interesting....So I'm putting this whole extra filter on top of my air intake for my skimmer, is that what you're saying?

I've been doing a long overdue job of cleaning today and also am due for a water change in my tank. I'm sitting here thinking "Gee, traces of PineSol on my hands is probably not a good thing" I've also seen references to Windex being dangerous to your tank inhabitants. Can someone tell me how...

VERY helpful - thank you !
