    Atlantic Blue Tang?

    IME, atlantic blues are bad news. i had one once(notice i said once). he ate the fins off all my fish, and stressed out almost every coral in the tank. to make a long story short, it too two weeks to catch, but it was a good day after i got rid of it. i will NEVER get one again(even if you paid...

    NO lights and macro algae

    you should be just fine with n.o. bulbs. get some that are made for plants and run them 24/7.

    Too many tangs?

    what about when people put dogs in a kennel when they go on vacation? or when they are in a pet carrier on an airplane?? why can't people just get over themselves and realize that fish will be kept in tanks and shipped in bags? thats the price ya gotta pay to have fish. and unless people start...

    Too many tangs?

    very well said york, but i just wanted to add a little. it dosen't mater if the fish is in a 5,000 gallon tank. it's still not the ocean, you know. i say, if it is healthy and doing well, more power to ya. i just don't like to see people who abuse animals wether they be dogs cats birds and even...

    damm powerheads help

    another good thing to do depending on what kind of powerhead you use is to get a peice of pvc pipe about 1 foot long with a cap at one end. now, take the pipe and cut slits in it about a half inch apart from one another. give about 4 inches from the top before starting the slits. do the cuts on...

    damm powerheads help

    in most cases, the fish don't get stuck to a powerhead while alive(in my experience anyway). they get sucked up after they die. all the fisk i ever had(including freshwater) know to stay away from the powerhead. the sponge thing will work for you though, i personally don't do that. i figure...

    WTH? Gargonia Hitchhikder - identify plz

    any gorgonia with white polyps are deep water gorgonia. those are mainly the yellow, red, and orange ones(there's more but i'm just doing basics here).there isn't really any lighting requirments for them since there is no symbolic algea to keep them alive. they need multiple feedings to stay...

    WTH? Gargonia Hitchhikder - identify plz

    i can't really help you too much without a picture, but i can say, if it bothers you so much, cut the tip of the gorgonian off that has this creature in it. cut about a half inch. it won't hurt the coral. after that, just chuck the tip in the garbage.
