sold my clowns to a knowledgeable caring keeper. Have seen pic's and they look very comtent and healthy. Mary

Hadn't heard about Xenias crashing. Have to do some research. Just what I need, something else releasing nitrates. It is still quite small so will have time to prepare before that should occur. Thanks.

Love my new power compacts! Got two Duals, by Current. A bit more light due to the excellent reflectors, so just had to move some leathers that were getting a bit much light. Good luck on your choice. All VHO's and actinics.

The nitrates are lowering in my tank and the latest addition is a Xenia. It is growing very fast as many new branches have developed in a short period of time. Could not figure out why finally the nitrates are lowering. In that you know about Xenias, is it ok to allow it to get very large? I...

Please check out Google and click onto "MandDisFaqs". That is a factual sight to visit and has all the info on Mandarins in a bit more than a nutshell! Your two Mandarins must have a ton of live rock and a very mature tank to survive. They are starving. You absolutely can not feed them...

Well, Seems they are a sub-order unto themselves. Click onto Google and then onto "MandDisFAQS." Seems I have been calling my green spotted one a" psychedelic", and I am wrong. It is the blue one that is considered that one. Makes sense since the blue one looks Psychedelic. Very interesting...

Actually, they are all unique from one another in appearance and often diet. Love them all. I am curious, point me in the direcction of where I am mislead? I know the difference. I am going to Google!

We get confused because they are under Gobies in all the indexes I have seen. I did know they are Dragonettes. Have to search the comments I have made because I never though I had referred to tham as gobies or blennies. I have both ib my tank, But the Dragonettes are very different from the...

:D That is so good to hear ! Contrary to what so many articles I have read. Makes perfect sense! Used to sell babies from my cardinals but this is so unheard of! Gives hobbiests something to strive for if they love Mandarins as I do. Too late for me, my second female was put into the...

They make up for lack of brilliant coloration with their personalities. Love them! I think they are of the same families. Blennadai and Gobidae? Someone should correct me so you are set straight. Actually I love their colors and uniquiness.:)

Loopy, Yikes, I do not want to mislead your daughter. The Royal Gramma is a territorial fish and definately needs its own space and hiding place , and it displayed assertiveness when other tank "buddies" entered the its domain. However, it never struck out at them, just postured. Upon adding...

Ebo also. Lights are often the problem. Heater is off when temp rises. In my case it is just the lighting situation. Ebo's are great!

This is not the forum for this discussions. I am not argueing with any of you because you are not reading the NOAH reports or the scientific data that is there to read, not radical, not extremest. Have you checked out Google and seen all the various reports that are very sound in the research...

Loopy, Well, I don't report or write. That is a wonderful talent. I painted in acrylic and oil and pastels, and drew for years, now am sculpting stone. Went from very realistic because that is familiar to me to very abstract because for me that is a real challenge in getting out what is...

Skimmer, not skinner! How do I miss those stupid mispelled words! I re-read every thing I wrIte!

I sure hope you are correct about up to 84 being safe. I will also raise my thermometer for the same reason. I have fluctuation of 5-6 degrees from morning to evening. I like to keep it at 75 but it is a losing battle. Have a large fan running all winter in front of the tank when all lights are...

Think that is a big mistake. Clarkii Clowns are finicky but if they have their anemone or have adopted a soft coral as mine have, they do do a lot of chasing others but they have never harmed a fish. Just when they spawn they really {especially the male} gets very protective of the female and...

The more I think about all the water changing I have done it seems that every time I have ever done a water chsnge the tank always develops a bloom. Always. It still does even after changing to RO water rather than the well water. High phosphates still rule no matter all the steps I am...
