My Bloodfire seems to like to hang on the rocks, but I've never seen him do it upside down.

Yep, I'm aware of this. I'm just letting you know that so far, early into the treatment, it is working. Thanks for the info though. Stackman

One of my clowns came down with a mild case of ich, so I went to my LFS and bought Ich Attack made by Kordon. Its reef safe and it seems to be working. I'll keep you updated on whether or not its worth looking into. Stackman

I have a blood fire shrimp, a coral banded shrimp, and a peppermint shrimp, and they get along just fine. The blood fire is a little agressive when it comes to getting the food in the sand. If the peppermint and the blood fire are both going for the same piece of food, the blood fire will get...

I have a 10,000k bulb and an actinic.

I put in a Sebae anemonae in my tank today, and my percula clownfish began lightly brushing it every ten minutes or so. From what I understand, that is normal. Before long though, it appeared that he began to nip the tentacles of the anemonae. The anemonae seems to be less than a fan of the...

Alright, I'll just stick to the snail per 5 gallons for right now, because I have plenty of algea. If I need more, I'll add as I need. Thanks.

Looks great! Thanks!

Sounds delicious

Wow. That's a nice tank! Wish I could afford one that large.

What is an appropiate amount of blue legged hermit crabs and turbo snails to keep a 29 Gal reef relatively clean? I've heard 1 snail to every 5 gals?

There's a reef safe treatment called No-Ich available. A friend of mine had a horrible ich outbreak in his tank, the worst I had ever seen. He used No-ich for two weeks, and everything was fine. No corals or other inverts died. I highly recommend it.

I run actinics for 12 hours (10:00-10:00) and a 10,000K for 10 hours (11:00-9:00)

Sorry to be specific, but is it Nitrates that are high, or the Nitrites? The two are different. Nitrates will tend to build up slowly and are usually taken care of through water changes. The nitrites may be from overloading your tank, or waste accumulating in the bottom of the tank. Do you have...

I have a coral banded and a peppermint that get along without any trouble.

Anyone got any pictures of their 29 Gals? I have one myself and I am looking for some inspiration. I would post a pick of mine, but I lack a digital camera right now.

Ah yes, the ole' damsel cycling approach. It's a good method. Its a hardy fish, and gives you something to look at while your tank cycles. Give it some time, and you'll have an excellent mini-reef.

Hey SLOFish, I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the medicine, but there is actual reef safe ich treatment that my friend was using just this past week. I can't remember the name of it, but I remember he got it from New Hampshire. I'll try and get the name of it for you. (I know it sounds...

Yes, welcome to the hobby. Its good to see another person with a small tank. I recommend sticking with small species of non aggressive fish. Your two clowns, some chromis, maybe a small wrasse. You can also get some shrimp. Those are always fun. Stackman
