the only thing i didn't like about them is that if you have a shy eater, the chromis may force them to starve. I had 2 and they eat like pigs.

recently fought cyno, and am on the verge of winning. Has almost completely vanished! do you have any fish/inverts yet? What i did: Day 1 1. Completely clean tank get every last piece of the cyno bacteria out. Only use lights for about 4-5 hours a day untill completely cleared up 2.Go and buy...

may have been a slight salinity swing? depending on what your salinity was before hand?

that is a great looking purple! the colors look great under your lights, what are you using for lights? also, the helfrichi is my dream fish! They are beautiful, but my girlfriend would kill me if i got one be for her RING

Hey my question is about help to recover a brain coral and a gonapora. A guy is giving them to me for free, i saw them last week, and didn't look to bad, I am getting a 250W MH in the next week or so and as of right now i have 4 VHO's 110w making due over my 20g reef tank. So far i have 2...

anymore pics?

that picture doesn't look anything like the ones int the store, also, these ones are about the size of a quarter. She has them 4-5 in a 20 gallon tank. But since they are so expensive, they are hardly ever bought. They seem to be doing very well in her 20 gallon tanks for months at a time...

hey randy 13 email me at bortell@carsoncomm.com

i bought a new rock the other day, and today i noticed some hitchhikers. They look like a feather duster, but only have 5 or 6 blades at the top. At first i thought they may be aiptisa anemones, but got to looking at them and they look alot more like star polyps. there are 5 that i can see so...

i have had two for quite awhile prolly about 6-7 months. I bought the pair just cuz they were cheap and looked cool. They school or i guess swim with each other everywhere, but this is prolly cuz they are the only things in the tank besides my Volitan, which they stay away of. Most people say...

Hey, I have a 20 gallon tank, that is going to eventually be transfered to my 55. I want to only put in small gobies with lots of the dartfish family. So far i have a firefish, sissortail, and a blue Gudgeon dartfish. Need some ideas for more dartfish and gobies that will get along with the ones...

do you know what they look like or any websites that may have a picture of them. The only thing i can think of to ship them is to find a small styrofoam box container and pack it with peanuts and a heat pack. How many could ya get me? The box shouldn't weigh but maybe a lb or two, so the...

also was going to tell ya i have picked up about 7 lbs of that same live rock from my LFS it is encrusted with that green colors. it looks really cool and has tons of holes in it. :jumping:

The tank looks great so far!! I think i might have waited just a week more to add the other live rock and live sand tho. New critters may not make it through the rest of the cycle. I used water from my 55 to start my 20 gallon, and a week later added 2 gobies and 2 crabs. 2 weeks later, still...

chances are if you have LR that you bought from your LFS you already have them. I don't think i have ever bought LIVE ROCK without bristle worms. most of the time they only come out at night, with the occational appearance at feeding time. Unless you started with rock that had been dried and...

how big of a tank do they need? have a small 20 gallon reef tank going, only been set up for a month, but want to get one for it. Would it work in this tank?

my lfs has some tiny red starfish like about 1 inch big. Very small. She has them listed as red starfish. but the problem is they are selling for about 25 bucks. Never had one before and don't want to potentionally waste that kinda money on just one small star fish. If anyone has some small...

i would pick between the two, i had a clarkii and he picked on everything. I moved the rocks around and everything, but unless you have large tank(longer) i don't think it will stop, and your firefish may get stressed and die, had it happen to my purplefirefish and firefish. Clownfish need to...

Ok my 55 LIVE STOCK: Black volitan 2 reef chromis sally lightfoot misc. hermits and snails PROBLEM: Fighting red slime for months (probably half a year) TRIED: Chemi-clean, turning lights on for only about 4 hours a day, feeding once a week basically just feeder guppies to my lion, fed only once...
