I dont believe you are overstocked, not sure about adding more though.

tunicate ... can anyone point me to anything online with this information? It doesnt seem to match anything I have found online also, should i pull it out? I generally remove anything i am unsure of.

Originally Posted by spanko I'm in to find out what it is too. I'm thinking sponge or tunicate. I haven't had much experience with tunicates, but it seems rather large for those. a sponge was my first guess. I have another rock with tons of various sponges on it, the texture resembles none of...

Originally Posted by paintballer768 Honestly never seen anything like that before, tagging along for the ride lol. Does it seem to close when touched or what do you mean by "swaying"? yea i knew this was going to be an interesting one. i guess swaying may have been a little off. when...

Ok, this "thing" as you see below is rather large, but I always assumed it was simply the color of the rock on the back part of the larger rock it is on. until tonight, when I saw crabs crawling on it and noticed that it was cushiony, sort of like a sofa cushion. there are two holes on it, i...

well, i stayed up all night moving a 65 into a 90. so to celebrate, i'm getting something new. i havent' been into this scene very long, so help me pick a new fish of some sort. my current stock list in the 90 gallon is 1 yellow tang 1 lawnmower blennie 1 yellow watchman globie & pistol shrimp...

that is good news, thanks!

this tank is a 65 gallon, 36 X 18 X 24. i just got the current outer orbit unit. 2 X 250 hqi with 4 X 50?watt actinics, and of course the leds. question is, is there anything that may require more light in 24" of water on a 2" sandbed? first day i didnt run it all day because i didn't want to...

anyone know? i had this recently too

hard to say without pictures. perhaps pods? if so, they are great to have. part of the cleanup crew. if they gross you out, find a miraculous way to catch them and send them my way! kidding. you can buy fish and inverts to keep the population down if you are exploding. also, overfeeding makes...

This guy came in with a green chromis order, about 6 green chromis and this little guy. however, when he came in with them, he was the same size, in one month he has grown to twice the size of the other chromis. as you can see in the pics, he "schools" (flexible term) with the 12 chromis i have...

yes! and dang i could have a lot of fun with that. i have never seen a tank like this. anyhow, i would get it drilled, my local lfs will do it for $25, i am sure somewhere around you will do it as well. after that, its all uphill. the good news is that you wouldn't need the biggest and most...

also, just a note: i haven't really ever had much luck with marine fish purchased from that large chain store. i don't know what they go through, but goodness. the last 5 times i went, twice there were no fish due to massive death for unexplained reasons(really, they wouldn't tell me), the...

Do you plan on getting a reef ready tank? That would depend on the equipment that you'll need. I, personally, would go for the 75. The larger the tank, the easier it is to look after really. the water volume allows for a little more forgiveness. I considered a 55 as my first tank, but for what...
