Awesome fish,congrats . Mine really prefers to come out after my halides go off and just the actinics are on. Hes a burrower and has a super personality .

Sea robins can get as big as 18 inches and 3 pounds. I would suggest you stay away from them as they are voracious eaters and will basically destroy your tank. I catch them regularly while bottom fishing around NYC . Thet are interesting looking but in the end you will regret having it. They...

One more thing. Froogle that product and you will find an upgraded version and even cheaper. I have it on my reef with just the heater and a tunze turbelle electronic powerhead connected to it for just the kind of thing yourre going through.

Try one of these and an automotive battery. Stealthy and your fish will at least have powerheads going for 24 hrs. The link is for a product totally non competitive with SWF http://www.jehmco.com/PRODUCTS_/HARD...up_system.html Good Luck

I wish him well. Im surprised with all your experience here that you dont have some sort of auxiliary power.

I have one , hes great doesnt bother my fish at all.

Thanks everyone for the great answers. I feel a lot better now. My guy is with me just a few days now and his body is about 4 inches without tail.Hes great when out and about and Im very interested in them now. Are there any good websites that you can recommend that cover them in more detail ? Peter

*PUFF*

Tell me what typical puffer bahavior should be. My striped dogface is sometimes very lethargic. At times he will be swimming all over the tank but more often than not he will rest on the sand or some rock.His breathing seems OK but may be on the heavy side . He eats great will race up for food...

Is one a new arrival? Try rearranging the rockwork if so .

Lets hope . I also had a peppermint shrimp stuck back ther for about a week before I opened it up for routine maintenance so there is some hope. Heres is another picture from another time in the tanks life.

Here was mine before I started to empty it into my new 50.

Hey Dory, check the filter area for the missing fish. I had my perc go back there one day. Got it back up with a big spoon.

I have 3 CC stars and a cranberry star in my tank with a picasso , purple tang and majestic angel. I would love to add a puffer but I think it would be tough. Anyone else have puffer and starfish experiences ??

Bristle worms are like cockroaches and mice, if you see one you have lots more than that. I have tons of them and they dont bother my corals. Maybe you should try feeding them. That would keep them away from your livestock. Good luck Peter

I have Pinpoint as well , including the thermometer which moniters 4 tanks. Both are great and highly recommended.

Im surprised that your Purple Tang hasnt taken them all out already !

Cincyreefer how do you feed live sponge ?Where and how do you get it ? I would like to try this for my majestic. Thanks

Maybe try using a magnet to locate the pin, hopefully the eel wont stick to the magnet and you can get the pin out of the sand before it causes some more problems.

Last week I took delivery of three pepperment shrimp among other things including emerald crabs and a serpent star. Well it wasnt more than a hour after acclimation that the CBS had one of the peppermints ,by the next morning I didnt see any left. I havent seen much of the serpent star since...
