Maybe you could feed it a little more. I've kept anemoneas for many years, and find that they do better if you feed them more rather than less. I feed my anemoneas shrimp a couple of times a week. However, those anemoneas are from a Texas jetty, and not LTAs. Thomas712s suggestion regarding...

I took it in my backpack on a ski mountaineering trip a couple of weeks ago. I should probably decide on just one hobby.

Sorry if this got posted twice. You mentioned that your Clarks were normal colored and darkened after you introduced a carpet anemone... Joyce Wilkerson (Clownfishes, A Guide to Thier Captive Care, Breeding and Natural History) writes "a number of clownfish species take on a melanistic or black...

Thanks jacobpoly! I am interested in the LTA because I hope it will bury itself in the tank's deep sand bed and not move. I hate when anemoneas put their butt (foot) in your face on the front glass.

I have ocellaris and would like to get a LTA. Has anyone had any luck getting ocellaris or percula to accept a LTA? The books (and list above) say that LTAs don't host them.

How many clownfish of the same species can be housed in a 55 gallon tank? I plan to add a bubble tipped anemone and two or more clowns, either perculas or clark's. These will be small, aquacultured fish. Would it be best to only add two, or do they get along in small groups? Also, I am using...

Thanks for the advice...You have saved the little shrimp from "prison tank". By the way, what do you feed your shrimp?

I hope you can see this picture. This old skimmer was originally about 3 ft tall, and sat beside a 29 gallon reef tank. I cut it down and repaired it recently to fit inside of this cabinet (it had developed a leak at the base after several household moves). I use a wooden airstone in this...

Where can I purchase a mangrove?

For CO2, I am planning to use a 24 oz paint ball cylinder. I am not sure if this is big enough for you, but I like the paint ball cylinder's small size (it fits in my cabinet) and small cost (less than $30). I have a regulator, but your paint ball supplier might be able to fix you up with some...

Very nice. I am starting to biuld a reactor as well, and was wondering why your reactor has two chambers? Would you mind explaining the process flow in your unit? I would appreciate it greatly. Also, I have found that paint ball CO2 tanks are an inexpensive source of carbon dioxide (provided...

US Plastics (Lima Ohio) sells acrylic tube and glues, if you decide on clear material. I highly recommend them. I have built skimmers using acrylic tube, and the one I use now is a couple of decades old (simple tube with cup on top powered by a wooden airstone). They are not hard to fabricate...

Does anyone know for sure if pistol shrimp are dangerous in a reef tank? I have 3 pistols, which came into my tank on live rock that I collected from the Texas Gulf (seeded near Port Aransas). I have noticed my small hermit crabs have been disappering and don't know if the pistol shrimp are...
