If you would be so kind as to offer up the best tank size for the following stocking list. I have decided on these guys, and do not care to add any to this, as this is my ideal fish list for a Reef tank in the works. Thanks 1. Tank-raised Goldstripe Maroon Clownfish 2. Six line wrasse 3. Yellow...

Will having a CPR hang on refugium on a 55 gallon be harmful to a LMB's overall health? The reason I ask is that LMB often need a great supply of natural algae (if they will not supplement with spirulina or algae sheets) and a refugium's good macros outcompete bad algaes in the display? Would...

JLEM Through a search I saw that you once built what appeared to be excellent Stands and Canopies for 75/90 gallon AGA tanks? Do you still have time for this?

In having an aquarium on a third floor in an apartment complex that was recently built (less than 2 years old) and is on an outer load-bearing wall, is there any weight issues for a tank the size of 29 gallons ever? I figure the weight spread over 30 inches L is very manageable, if thinking...

Well, after starting a 10 gallon nano for softies under a 96W quad, I decided to remove the small sandbed after 2 months and go bare bottom! After a simple conversion process and no deaths, the new setup looked cleaner and was easy to siphon up detritus and algae. After things stabilized I...

Has anyone noticed if cliffrouse11bas has frequented the message boards lately? Just curious, wanted to converse with an NC hobbyist, had a few questions.

A friend of mine just got a large shipment of uncured LR, and in the bottom were small pieces of rubble with some green algae on it. This was not the bad hair algae, but looked like some form of macroalgae. Not having used a refug myself, but rather water changes and protein skimminig, I still...

In the LFS yesterday, and in one of the lower holding tanks running a combination of NO and PC lights, usually reserved for smaller coral frags that aren't in great shape, for reduced prices. There was a small brown (as opposed to the green) torch coral frag going for about 12 bucks. Its small...

I am providing a few pictures of a creature I came across on a piece of porous LR in my 10 gallon nano. While I have not put any new LR in the display for a month or so, this is the first time I have seen this little guy, or anything like him in the hobby up to this point. In the pic, it is the...

Thank you for taking time to look at this thread. Having read about mods for the seaclones, the one that makes the most sense (for the updated models with maxi pumps) is to only trim an inch or so off the COLLECTION CUP tube, because there is good foam production, but it never makes it up to the...

Greetings, I finally have a chance to setup a 10 gallon nano reef in my apartment. So without further a due, here is my setup as of yesterday. Specs: 10 gallon AGA 20" black aquarium black AGA stand black AGA glass versatop 20" 96 Watt coralife powerquad power compact light Hagen aquaclear...

While I know this forum is reserved for larger aggressive species, I do want to hear opinions about this hawkfish. I am not new to the hobby, and I have kept flame hawkfish before, but it was in a much larger system with many other fish. I want to have a small FO system to entertain me. I would...

Pictures of the Key West Aquarium taken went I went on vacation with my family to Key West. The aquarium was quite small, but very nice. I also included some pictures of the beach tidal pools. Enjoy.

MADE YA LOOK! Actually, I love the scooter blennies/dragonettes, but certainly do not want to make them starve slowly. If I had a 38 gallon, with AT LEAST 1 lb. / gallon AND a CPR aquafuge for pod growth, is that still not enough pod production, and it will just "prolonge" its starvation, or is...

New to the board, but certainly not new to the hobby. My next tank is in the planning stages, a small, peaceful reef setup. (29 gallon, 1.5 lbs. LR/ gallon, AquaCRemora, DSB, etc). I definitely want to have: (2) Solomon Islands Percula Clowns (1) Yellow Watchman Goby Now, I would like one more...

Ok. After saying that thread, no I don't have a nano, still in the planning stages, but am not new to the hobby :) The nanos here are absolutely beautiful, so feel free to comment on the details of your water changes, or do you mostly rely on "fuges"? 1.Do you still mix your change (regardless...

Hello to all. In the planning stages right now. Can anyone who has managed to keep firefish gobies long term succesfully humor these questions: 1. Did you have a pair, or a single? 2. Since they have small, upturned mouths, what foods work best? Small flakes and pellets, or finely chopped...
