    brissle worms

    I would suggest a Bristle Worm trap. If you would, keep all of the ones you catch in some type of container like a breeder to keep them alive, and then send them to me. If you do this, I'll pay for your trouble, S+H, plus the cost of the Bristle Worm trap. So you get rid of you problem, and I...

    Bad Fishy!

    You're lucky, the Caudal Peduncles can give very nasty cuts.

    First Coral Purchase

    IMO, go with any type of Mushroom first, except maybe a Metallic Green, I've never dealt with them personally, so wouldn't know how they would react in a newer tank.

    Why would you want a mantis?

    Hey Bang Guy, Stomper isn't yours is he/she? I know I've seen that exact picture more than once on more than one board, most of which are just educational, and no BB at all. So, did you just IMG that, or is he/she yours?

    Fish Fat Farm!

    There's nothing better looking than a Fat, Yellow Tang, or in your case, a Percula.

    New Purchase

    That depends on whether or not you know the Drip Method. If not, then I'd love to share, if so, then I have none. GL with them.

    No Pods

    There is an excellent article on Pods in the Reef Tank in an old AFM, and if you have access to it I would check it out. The time it takes for pods to reproduce is 6 weeks minimum, so in a couple of weeks, your pod population should pick up. IMO, you should have a very mature tank, stocked with...

    Indo-Pacific

    I have a 20H that I'm working on, and recently asked about a CleanUp Crew, but ended up just about as confused as what to do. So, I'm thinking about the 9 for 99 deal at IPSF.com. Here's what I plan to get:6 SandBed Clams 6 Baby Bristle Worms 6 Nerite Grazers 6 Strombus Grazers 6 MicroHermits 6...

    Anemones and clowns

    Well, I have a few suggestions, and also a must-read book that tells you everything you'll need in this area. Clownfish and Sea Anemones by John H. Tullock. This book is great for what you're looking into. Perculas can be hosted by Stichodactyla gigantea(Giant Carpet Anemone), Heteractis...

    Nano CleanUp Crew

    Sorry if it's too much to ask, but can anyone suggest an exact list of critters for my 20H SPS and Clam Tank? I need good DSB stirrers, and detritus eaters. I already have an Engineer Goby planned. Thanks in advance

    Arrow crabs?

    Don't do it! I got a $3 Arrow Crab, that I witnessed kill a $12 Engineer Goby, and a $40 Volitan Lionfish. Man, that was an expensive meal. It happened one day after another. It killed the Engineer, and I had it setup with the LFS to take it in the next day, and as I came up to get it out, I saw...

    ^

    I have a 20H that I have been focusing my efforts on recently, and as it's in my bedroom, I want it to turn out perfectly. The tank has 40-60 lbs LS, 40 lbs LR, Weir Overflow that leads to a custom sump up to 300G, SeaClone 100, and a MagDrive7 as a return pump. The GPH after 3ft HP is 500, so...

    little white guys?

    Originally posted by daisy Also, my husband pointed out to me that they are not two centimeters long, I had meant to write that they are more like two millimeters long. That statement made all the difference. If they were 2cm they were most likely Aiptasia, but you changed that to 2mm, and...

    little white guys?

    Originally posted by daisy They are about two centimeters long, tube-shaped, attached at one end, widening in the middle, and have what look like bristles or feathers or tentacles or something on the end that sticks out. Can anyone ID these for me? Nobody in my tank seems to be eating them...

    What should I get if ...

    If an Angel were to be added, it would have to be a Dwarf Angel, as a 90 is too small for any of the Large Angels once they reach adulthood. I would take in the Domino, and add one or two more fish, like a Kole Tang, and maybe a Wrasse.

    tank

    Yeah, but those people are spread out, evenly across the whole floor, unless you plan on stacking them on top of each other in an area the size of the tank.

    Would you use Sump A or Sump B?

    That all depends on whether or not you light it, and if you do, what wattage, Kelvin, and photoperiod the lighting will entail.

    WTB: Mantis Shrimp

    Sounds like the 75 will look good with the lighting you mentioned in a different post. Here's a link that has everything you need to know about Mantis Shrimp. There are even links to different snapshots of Mantis Species, and even a link to different Mantis Sites. HTH
