that's what I was hoping, maybe when I bought him he was already a few years old.

What kinds of things could have done this? I suppose it is possible some hitchhikers are hiding in my tank..

I've had a pencil urchin for almost as long as I have had my tank. ( almost a year). Yesterday I noticed that a few of his spines were bent in really awkward, unnatural positions, but I wasn't really sure if he was just moving them around or if he was growing new ones. This morning I found him...

most of it is chasing and i guess nibbling so I suppose they are fighting for dominance. So the bright orange one must be becoming the female, it looks like its getting bigger than the darker one. Thanks

I've had my clowns for at least two months, but only for like the past few days I've noticed that they are fighting. They are the same kind (at least i'm pretty sure) Ocellaris Clowns. Well, a few weeks ago one started turning darker (he's still orangey but hes just turning like a darker shade...

so should I move it to the back chamber where the pump and heater is?

I believe its Grape Caulerpa, I looked for more pictures and it looks a lot like it. Apparently when it starts to produce it losses color, dies off, and then comes back.... "great macroalgae. sops up excess nutrients,nice to look at, and a good food for herbivores. but beware!! if you discover...

One of my pieces of LR came with a small green plant of about 3-4 strands, it has little bubble-like things at the end of its branches, the best way for me to describe them would be like headphones/earbuds or flat circles, like suction cups or something. Anyway, parts of it are clear//or...

12 gallons, with 10 pounds of LR. its JBJ delux. The LFS is really nice and he actually let me pick a few of the live rock that was in some of his tanks, since they had a lot of coralline (sp?) on them...so some of my pieces are really purple. (the one with the zoos also has the little dusters...

I don't really know much about my lights/ lighting...but what came with it says they are pl-24w *some marking* +10000k two of them are white, and two of them are blue (they are combined 1 white 1 blue, then the next one is the same.) Does that anemone he has stay small? (he only has one) Or...

do you turn your lights completely off at night? or do you leave on the moon lights. thanks

thanks--its working, i took it outand felt the bottom and it's now warm. --- Also, i have a hitchhiker from a piece of LR from my lfs... i think its a box/pom pom crab. Im worried though that it wont survive since I just set my tank up. Right now its in the bag of water the small piece of LR...

I just set up my tank, and honestly I dont think the heater is working. How do you tell? Does it just take a while to make a difference? Does it vibrate a bit or anything? (I didnt see an on switch, so I assumed it just turned on when you plugged it in.) thanks.

--nvm--

Oh, ok.. cool. That would help a lot. Can I pm you for the names? (or do they have to be emailed like the previous..)

Basically the Rocky Mount area...about 45 mins from Raleigh/Durham.

Yes I know about the cycling of a tank, and also I am aware of the Mandarin's need for copepods (I provided a link to an article that stated it is possible for them to survive in a nano tank, though it requires a lot of extra care...) I know about the spikes and allowing your tank to recover...

I think this Saturday I am going to go to get a Nano tank, most likely either the 12 or 29 Gal. (JBJ, I think is what they have). That with the stand will be about $209 (12g) - $309(29g) (is that a good deal? So far I haven't seen anything better...) Anyway, i have a few questions about the...

6 feet long? How many gallons would that be//where would I find one that big? (and..I'm guessing it would be fairly expensive..)

In the next few months I would like to start a Saltwater aquarium up. I may be getting a 90 Gal, if not one definitely between 40-100. Honestly I don't think I will want anything too complicated, I have just fallen for the little clown fishes. (I have wanted one for a while) Basically, I would...
