Well just because a fish is swimming and not covered in ick does not mean he is doing well. Tangs get large and more importantly love to swim. The guy at the LFS is simply doing what he has to, to make a sell. And I can't say for sure weather or not it will happen. But a pair of clowns can and...

I am pretty sure that any and all anemones split. If I am wrong someone is sure to quickly correct me.

Fellows for those who not know the ways of "yeung ling" I petty. It is by far a dark brew making a name for itself. I drink Guiness, Amberbock, Killians and anything else I can can get my hands on. Including a couple of local joints who have a national name for them themselves(McGuires Irish...

Scott I do appreciate the "Lighting for dummies" lesson. I can honestly say I have never had explained in words I could comprehend. Thanks again...

waterfaller I afree w/ you on the "out of norm tangs" I particularly like the achillies myself. I have yet to see many in tanks and had I not already had my tanks where I want them I would have one.

There is product out by kent marine that is called "dip" . It is a combo of iodine and something else and it greatly improves the progress of seteriating corals. Look into it. But DO NOT try and make your own.

I can not get very technical but I do know it has alot to do with types of corals you plan on keeping. And is there a particular type of lighting you are planning on using? I can try and help you best I can but soon enough there will be someone who has the technical experiance you are looking for.

You have to be careful with water collected from anywhere near human contact. Most of it contaimanted with alot of silicates that can wreck your tank. I live about 125ft of the water on the gulf coast and do alot of work with the sea lab here and I would not even imagin of using what we have...

The brown algea is normal. I recently set up a new 30 and it is going through the smae thing. AS far as your brittles are concerned...What did you do to acclimate them? Usually if acclimation is rushed this can happen.

And alot of it will depend on the fish itself. You might not have any luck at all with it hosting to your clown. And I agree with everyone on reading up and asking more questions. They take pretty intense light and well established system. They require direct feeding and by the time you notice...

What type of fish is "Gill" in ther movie finding nemo? Is it a heniouch butterfly???

You will run a risk with any angel nipping at corals. If you are tang crazy(like myself) look into a sailfin or maybe a even a purple. But if it is angel I would definately run with a coral beauty over the flame. The flames tend to be more aggresive towards other fish and corals.

Well I do appreciate the insight. I like the idea of royal gramma and will definately have to look into a goby of some sort...Thanks guys.

if you use somthing cheap, even a ole' kitchen spounge you could afford to replace it.

If you decide to go with play sand use caution. Most that stuff is full of silicates and will cause you huge problems. Southdown comes highly recommended but is not readily available in all areas. It would be better for you if you could not find silicate free play sand to just by dead sand from...

I recently set up a 30 long for my sons room. Granted he is only a month old, but it gave me a good excuse to add a new tank to my collection. We have decorated his room in fish decor and well anyway...I have already added a pair of clown fish and need some advice or insight on some tank mates...

Hello everyone. I wanted to just get aquainted with everyone. I was actually on this board awhile back under a diffrent name(Predator) and just wanted to say hello to everyone both old and new. Things have definately taken a turn for the better here. Site hs been updated and some forums added...

I am not real sure on you space limitations but I had a similar problem with a old tamk set-up. I bought a piece of foam and let the pump sit on it. Knocked the problem out. You could even use a rag of some sort. Anything to get that pump of a solid surface. Just be careful as to what is on the...

I would definately runa dsb over a ugf. 007 made a good point about it breaking down and releasing unwanted waste. A ugf might actually produce results you want over a short period of time . But will cause you more problems and time if you actually comtinue it's use. Eventually you will probably...

That really is a nice collection. Kinda cool they all run together. What size tank are they in?
