Well Mr. CraigJ, it hasn't been quite a month yet, but just wanted to update you on the status of my fish. Somehow, they are all still alive! I know you have sentenced them to death, but with the help of this board and some dumb luck of my own I guess, everything is thriving. The cowfish is...

I say go for it, having a clown in an anenome is awesome! I have two percs, and they live in my bubble anenome. Tank raised usually will not go near an anenome though. I had one perc that was tank raised, and then I bought another perc with the bubble anenome the same day. The new perc went...

Sammy, You bring up a good point, from an angle I haven't thought of yet. I have two powerheads in the tank, just for circulation. However, with all of the rock, I am probably not getting it circulated enough. I have noticed that I don't have algae right where the powerheads are blowing. Should...

Chris, That is sounding dang cool! I am about ready to start building mine, I just need to find a glass store that will cut the plexi for me. What is the weldon #16? Can it be found pretty much anywhere? Is there anything in that that will harm the refugium, or is it safe? I will check for your...

Chris, That is awesome! I like how you have set that up. You and I have pretty much identical set ups, down to the sea clone, lighting and powerheads. I too have had great luck with the sea clone, no problems at all, and it is skimming great! I am wondering how you are planning to use the sea...

Thanks Chris, I will check it out today! I would really like to do it myself, sounds like a cool project. Your site is temp unavailable, so I will check it out later.... Jonathan

So can anyone tell me how to build a refugium? I need some details, as this is something that I am not familiar with. Please either help me out or give me some links that would assist me. Thanks!!! Jonathan :eek:

Hi everyone, thanks for your help so far. Andy, I am interested in the refugium idea. How exactly would I set that up? I am not very familiar with it. Tell me what DSB is, and what types of macro algaes you would fill it with. Also, I am not sure what a reverse photo period is. Sorry to sound...

Hey guys, I am having some newer problems in my tank, and wonder what your thoughts are. I know that they are related, but that is about it. First, my nitrates are at about 20 ppm, and I cannot get them below this. The tank is 37 gallon, ls/lr, 5 fish, 2 percs, 1 yellow tang, 1 royal gramma and...

Hey CraigJ, amazingly, I did read the boards about the cow fish. What I learned is that I need to keep him healthy, and not stressed. I also learned they grow big, but not as big in captivity. My fish is very small, less than an inch. I could cover him with a quarter. I really doubt he will grow...

I am not a fish expert, but have been a hobbyist with fresh and salt for the past 3 plus years. In reading your post, my opinion is that your tank has not "cycled" sufficiently yet. I wouldn't add anything else to your tank for sure, and make sure you quickly take out anything that dies. When...

Thanks!! You guys are great! Here is my update: I ended up getting a couple of really small fish. I got a black boxfish, or cowfish, that is just dang cool. He has a ton of personality. I also added a couple of pajama cardinals, that are really young. I feel that it should be a good spread for...

A cow fish, that sounds really cool! I believe that I have seen one before, isn't it similar to a puffer? I am trying to look it up online, but I cannot fine it. Do you know what class of fish this is? I would like to read up on them.... Thanks again...

Howdy, This is my first time to this board, but I should have joined long ago. I have an easy question. I have a 30 gallon reef tank, and I am setting up a smaller 10 gallon salt water tank in my master bedroom. My question is, what kind of fish should I put in here? It is fish only, and I would...
