hey make sure you go with a pretty deep sand bed if your going to get jawfish the deeper the better for these guys i'd say four inches would be a good minimum.. if you serious about jawfish go deep..and good luck with the tank..p.s. i'd use a skimmer.. Brian

hey kyle.. to answer your first question you should still wait awhile.. i understand the anxiety to get so much stuff so quik but understand that that's why a lot of people who start saltwater tanks quit because they can't seem to keep anything alive.. be careful corals and marine fish are very...

whoa that post wasn't supposed to go there.. what happened?

custom sea life makes smart light fixtures that can be mounted in just about any original light fixture.. i've put several into little mini bow 7's you just gut out the fixture install the new ballast and light and your good to go and they're not real expensive perhaps 50 dollars or so tops.. Brian

i'll see what i can do .. i have no pics right now.. so i will try to get some on within the nest couple of day's...

i visit my lfs very frequently ..i thinks it's because i work there and they may get upset with me if i never came in.. more play than work most of the time, but that's why i work there.. Brian

i have an algal turf scrubber on my 125 it does an awesome job unfortunately you can't buy those..anymore anyway.. when i bought it it cost me 500 bucks but for what it does it was worth it.. my water stays crysal clear all the time. and my nutrients stay down the system also decreases water...

tomatoes do fine without an anemone..get a good pair and you'll have no worries at my lfs we have a lot of clowns 90% of which are not in with anemones for breeding purposes.. among them tomatoes.. if you like tomatoes get tomatoes.. it's your choice..i agree though and am also partial to...

i think fallen and lore had a couple of good ideas.. perhaps ask a little more about that fish trap and if your into lions that might not be a bad idea.. they are alright will coral.. and many fishes.. tangs, hawks, triggers, and a lot more.. as long as the size difference isn't to great..my...

my hepatus tang wedges himself in the same spot between the back glass of the aquarium and a rock every night. sometimes i'll catch him just laying on his side in the bottom of the tank like he just got home from a long day at work and wants to kick back for a few moment..he's silly <img...

yes indeed any clowns can do fine without an anemone.. and pairing up any mature pair of clowns isn't a very easy job. G.S. maroons are a very beautiful fish and are fairly hardy ..they also do quite well without an anemone.. a nice easy way to go if you can't find a pair anywhere is find an lfs...

Your PC's should do the trick with light .they also like a fairly good current..it's neat to watch them as they spread (all over everything) .. if you put them near the back of your tank they will eventually hit your glass and cover it.. i have seen several tanks just covered in these...

globe urchins are reef safe... i also put a post on this same quiestion in the fish discussion forum... when trying to breed clowns a good way to do it is to have two tanks set up.. one for the parent clowns and one for your future babies.. put only an optional sand bed and a clay flower pot in...

for some things 24 hours just isn't long enough.. star polyps do normally take a while to fully open up after being introduced ito a tank.. even in perfect conditions.. you'll just have to give it time.. stars are very hardy.. and if the specimen that you bought was a good healthy looking one...

good q?.. they are supposed to be in there. they clean your sand bed to a great degree and reproduce like you would not believe.. they're a good thing.. just don't touch it with you hand..OUCHY.. it hurts. trust me every time i have to rearrange live rock i at least get stung by one.. anyway...

jealous of that black tang you got chadillac.. my lfs has one for $300 i want him so bad he's georgeous..

buying a lot of fish small with the intention of waiting till they get older and then moving them is a little troublesome.. fish don't like to be moved.. especially fish who have lived in the same environment for a long period of time.. it's stressful and dangerous to them.. if a tank is going...

a red light does make it a lot easier to view nocturnal creatures like mysis and copepods... just put some kind of red film over your flashlight.. now the little guys aren't just gonna sit there the whole time and not get a little freaked.. but it keeps them from zipping into their little holes...

it's possible..if they are pure white then it's pretty likely.. the way a fish feels can often have an effect on it's susceptability to ich.. if it get's stressed it can get it easier. if it's diet is changed it could get it easier.. if the temperature in you tank changes dramatically they could...

jw's right..there really isn't much of a chance that your lfs will buy back the fish that you may reproduce but it's always fun to try breeding fish just to say you've done it and you never know!! a lfs may buy a brood of clowns or something if they are good and healthy..and the bangaii's and...
