I'm also looking for good Color Variation in my tank and things that are also "cool" to watch... In the LONG term, I'm hoping to have (2) Clownfish, (1) Goby/Blenny type fish, (1) Royal Gramma Basslet and (1) Flame OR Coral Beauty Angelfish... Thats why I was thinking the Yellow Watchman, but...

I'm looking down the road at my next fish addition to my 46 Gal Bowfront tank (2+ months setup) and would like some input. 75 lbs Live Rock 50 lbs Live Sand (5) Small Blue/Green Chromis (Will be moving 2 to another SW Tank I'm setting up) (1) O.Clownfish (a 2nd is on the way to replace one that...

OK, this may sound dumb, but the PVC elbow fittings I bought all "FLOAT" when I dropped them into the tank... they wer 2" and 3" openings, but apparantly none of the 4-5 that I bought were heavy enought to stay on the bottom of the QT tank... Am I missing something? SW2

I'm no Expert but here is my Bucket/Drip.... SW2

About a week ago I added 2 O.Clown's from the LFS and I think they were in extreme shock from a new arrival at the LFS and then into my tank on the same day or 2... it's a newly cycled tank (6-7 weeks), and I've had 5 B/G Chromis for a little while which have been doing excellent... Anyhow to...

Ok, reading the FAQ and other posts, I am getting mixed messages about Live Rock in the Quarantine tank.... I have a decent ammount of what I would call "Live Rock Rubble" (about the size of an adult Finger or so, but about 5+ lbs worth)... It's no longer "live" becuase it was just dumped into a...

Originally Posted by usinkit Yes you can do that. What I mean about bio media is the stuff that is in your filter on the 25. Bio media is like little pebbles and cyclinders. What kind of filter do you have for the 25? In my main tank, the 46, I am running an Emporer 280 Bio-Wheel as my only...

Originally Posted by usinkit Cycle it with a cocktail shrimp. If your 46 is cycled you could put some bio media from your 25 in there to get the bacteria to frow on that for a couple of weeks then just pull it out put in the 25 filter and should be good to go. 46 is cycled, but I'm not sure...

I bought a used 25 Gal (used to be freshwater) Aquarium from a Co-Worker and thought I might set it up as my quarantine tank for my 46Gal Main Tank. I am thinking that I would prefer to keep it running all the time if possible as I don't really have the time to bring up and down every few...

While I hate to get in the middle of a nutritional debate, my 2nd clown is for some reason still alive...I tried some Mysis shrimp again tonight (with Garlic Guard), and I acutually saw him/her eat maybe 1 or 2 bites... I think I'm still on the death watch... I just did a 17% (8 Gal / 46 Gal...

Well, so far my 2nd clown isn't yet eating that I have seen, but it at least still alive (for now). I thought he was "gone" this morning when I saw him literally sitting on the sand in the corner, leaning on the glass... He has sinced moved, but won't come out of a little Live Rock Cave. I've...

Originally Posted by Mikeyjer I wouldn't worry about the chromis! When feeding the bar, all you have to do is swival the bar in the tank for a few seconds and you'll see lots of small particals floating everywhere, no way your clown will miss it. Then just put the bar back into the package and...

Originally Posted by Mikeyjer Get the frozen bar of cyclop-eeze, it works for me!!! :happyfish I hope my LFS stocks this... I know they have a freezer full of stuff, but not sure what all they stock. I think I need to take the Chromis out too, at least temporarily... they are vivacious...

Cain420, did your other Clown Pull through, and now eating good? I picked up 2 just the other day, and I "think" the smaller of the 2 might already be gone. As of last night, I hadn't seen either of them eat, and the little guy, which had seperated itself from the bigger one was missing this...

Here are some pics...

I know the little guys are still geting used to thier new home, but I'm pretty sure that I'm going to have to try pellets or something else... I put a small pinch of flake this AM and the 5 Blue/Green Chromis that have been in the tank for a short while came up and munched everything up and I...

Hi All... I added my 1st "Real" fish to my 46 Gal this evening...I picked up 2 Clownfish today at my Local Fish Store, Drip Acclimated for 2+ Hours (30Mins Temp in Bag, and a little over 2hrs Drip in Bucket). I'm not sure if they are Ocellaris or True Percula, but I would have to guess...

Originally Posted by wax32 You are ready, though your SG could be a little higher (1.026). In the long run inverts and corals will be better off with full strength sea water. Yah, I had been keeping my SG closer to 1.024-1.025, but when I drip acclimated my Cleaning Crew Last Week I didn't have...
