what kind of puffer is it?

WEll i understand that.. i can't wait till i have to move my 125 from where i'm at when i get a place of my own..(sarcasm) Brian

i buy caulerpa for my purple tang all the time.. he loves it.. a good hand full will normally only last him a couple of days.. (he's Fat)..he's a pretty hardy fish and very beautiful.. all the tangs that have been listed so far are all perfect choices..just thought i'd give you my insight. Brian

sounds like you damsels got marine ich. there a lot of differnt ways to take care of it one is hyposalinity.. some marine fish can actually be dipped in freshwater for a minute or so and the ich just pops off of them.. you may not want to try that if you're just starting out.. quarantine him and...

though i don't have one YET>. Zebrasoma Rostratem.. BLack Tang.. so cool.. Brian

i have a light neon green sponge that entered into my tank via live rock.. it's a really cool sponge and has gotten a lot bigger it grows really well and looks cool.. just to let ya know.. Brian

YOur set up is fine.. in a 7 gal. .. if you are to get any more fish make it a small one like a goby or a blenny just small.. since you already have two clowns.. i wouldn't go for a damsel.. they're a bit territorial..actually they are really territorial..and may bother teh clowns.. other than...

One of the beauties of owning a reef tank is that you can buy very small inexpensive things like coral frags and small starts of soft corals and they will eventually grow.. one of the biggest problems that people have is that they want the awesome tank that they saw in their LFS and they want it...

not as far as i'm concerned.. Brian

one can be just as easily kept as three or four ..the fish is normally happier when it has others like itself to school with but one or two will live fine in a tank. Brian

yes it's ok to have a male and a female bangai..if you're lucky they may breed in you tank.

With the picture you have..to me it still looks like aptasia..they grow in many different sizea and even colorations. if they are spreading so fast it'd be my bet that that's what it is.. if so there are a lot of ways to eliminate the problem..the most well known are peppermint shrimp and...

a cleaner wrasse or cleaner shrimp are also a good source of help these guys will eat the ich right off the fish ..adds new livestock to your aquarium as well so can't be too bad of a choice. Brian

He probably has or did have ich. my hippo tang occasionally does the same thing when something is bothering him.. hippo tangs are very suseptable to ich and can normally aquire it in even verely well established tanks..a very good way to take caare of the problem is get yourself a cleaner wrasse...

Another well known way to get rid of them is a green mandarin while they won't completely eliminate the problem they'll keep it under control,they eat many small living creatures,so they won't completely devote their diet toward the flat worms. i have a pair of mandarins and they do a great job...

not to mention they'll destroy and eat coral <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" />

just be careful not to overdose calcium

cucumbers sift sand and eat mainly detritus.. it wouldn't be a bad idea to wait a little while longer..just to be safe.. brian
