    Advice on Percs and Carpet Anenome

    "Mine went from about 4-6 inches to 20+ in just a year. That was just feeding it twice a week!" OMG - seriously?? My husband has seen some statistics on-line that indicate 90% of all anemones bought for home tanks die inside of 6 months. Can that be true?

    Know a good LFS in Central/Northern NJ??

    We're pretty new to the hobby and are looking for the best places in Central/Northern NJ to go. We will be ordering some things from this site (the feedback is so good), but some of the things we really want to see in person first. Most places have a freshwater focus and just a little bit of...

    Advice on Percs and Carpet Anenome

    We would like to get a mated pair of perculas and a green carpet anenome for our new 92 gallon tank. We have no livestock yet, just ready for them now. Still a bit early for the anenome, though I want to get it yesterday! Having trouble finding mated pairs of perculas at all though. One place...

    What Type Of Clownfish?

    I've been reading up alot on the Clowns lately and it looks to me like you have one True and one False Percula. Trues have more black and are generally more tempermental.

    few more pics of the new 180 and new fish!

    That really looks nice. The anthias are beautiful! Haven't seen those before, I'll have to keep them in mind for when our tank is ready for livestock. I like schooling fish, but the Chromis are too pale for my liking and they're the usual schooling stock I see. BTW - if you ever want to...

    Curing Live Rock

    We're using lots of Nutriwater Sea Water with the distilled water, so we're hoping this will speed up the cycle. The heater is definitely on and the rock looks more interesting each day. So we'll keep the windows cracked and the candles lit. But I gotta tell you, Yankee Candles and Rot are...

    Curing Live Rock

    Um...ew? Ok, obviously I'm pretty new at this, so my first reaction to sperm in my tank isn't to jump for joy. Especially with my husband out of town! LOL Not to be dense, but spounge? Propogating? Do we actually want this to happen? I know, I know...duh. Don't get me wrong, we were...

    Curing Live Rock

    Ok, we finally got our 92 gallon corner tank. In order to save some money, we ordered 100 lbs. of LR from Haiti ($4/lb + free shipping). The rock is really nice looking, lots of places for fish to hide and layer corals later on. Of course the deal is that the rock was not cured yet. We...

    Clean Up In Aisle 4 - Hair Algea?

    Thank you all for the advice! I'll echo one of the questions on here - what exactly is a seahare? Lawnmower Blenny, huh? Would a Midas Blenny do the same? That's on my list of fish I want when we get the 92 gallon corner. (Which we're ordering today!!) The threads on the Algone sound great...

    Clean Up In Aisle 4 - Hair Algea?

    What's the best way to keep Hair Algea under control? We've got some growing, but it's not out of control yet. Actually I like the way it waves in the water. But I know from reading on different boards that it can get out of control and be a huge PITA to contain - yes? What's the best way to...

    Shrooms and zoos

    Love the mushrooms! We almost got a smaller piece like that one this past weekend, but went with button polys and blue striped shrooms instead. The LFS wanted $80 for probably about 7 large sized mushrooms. Is that a good price? I have no idea...we're learning.

    can some one id these W/pics

    The black things looks very similar to something on the back of one of our hermits. That seems to be some kind of a worm, very similar to the ones in the rock. Sort of a long translucent feeler that pulls food into the base. And I'm pretty sure the reddish/purple stuff is coraline algea. Not...
