    Wet/Dry changeout/maintenance questions

    Hey all, I have been using a canister on my 29 gal fowlr tank for about 2 years now, but am really unhappy with the amount of flow through the filter, it seems to get crapped up far too quick. I am considering switching to a wet/dry setup, anyone have suggestions as to a decent quality setup for...

    Another anenome question.

    Thanks for the hope.....whether it is false or true :) Actually he looks kinda cool....all of the tentacles are about 3 inches except 1 which is 6-7

    Another anenome question.

    weekend before last my anenome let go of his rock and got sucked into the conical grate on the bottom of one of my powerheads. I thought he was a goner, but seems to be coming back. it looks almost like nearly all of his tentacles save for one got about a 2 inch trim. Do tentacles grow back...

    My anenome and my Tiger Pistol Shrimp

    So I come in this morning and my long tentacled anenome which just settled on a spot was stuffed into the entrance of my Pistol shrimp's burrow. I know that these shrimp can be very crafty with what they use to engineer their burrows, but has anyone here ever had one try to use an anenome as the...

    New tank??

    Heya Brittney, Welcome welcome welcome, I am relatively new myself, but it is a fascinating hobby. If you have an extra 27.00 to spend go to amazon.com and grab The Conscientious Marine Aquarist . It's a great book and should give you a nice start on what you need to know. -Steve

    New tank needs???

    Heya Ktoland! The first thing I would suggest buying is a book called the The Conscientious Marine Aquarist. You can have the best equipment in the world and kill tons of fish and end up completely frustrated and miserable in the hobby. The first and most important equipment you need to use is...

    Wacko Diamond Goby

    Stupid LFS, I never got a copy of the agreement. Actually I believe he is about my favorite fish. I had Piranha a couple of years before I set up this tank and they have zero personality compared to my saltwater fish. Have you guys ever seen a clownfish suckle on a RBTA's tentacles? I have an...

    Wacko Diamond Goby

    Ok, so I move this guy into my tank. First he digs under every piece of live rock i have to lower it to glass level, which I suppose is fine....I should have set my live rock on the bottom anyway so it was more stable. He won't let my Conch out from behind the live rock, every time he catches it...

    Shrimp feeding

    My cleaner and fire shrimp eat anything I offer them, flake.....frozen.....slversides(they try to steal them from my anenomes)....brine......even krill....does that make them cannibals? The brine and krill that is. They actually eat right out of my hand. The peppermint eats all the same stuff...

    Diamond Goby

    I picked up one of these guys 2 days ago and he is a wacko, He hasn't clouded up the tank too bad, but he does seem to think that every rock needs a burrow under it. either that or he thinks my rock structure should be sitting on the glass instead of on the sand. So far there is only one base...

    aqua c remora question

    I have the Remora with the MJ1200 pump and it needs about 3.5-4 inches of room behind the tank and it sticks up about 6.25 inches from the top. I don't think the hole in the back of your canopy would have to be that tall since most of the height is outside the tank. the top of the return is...

    possible ich

    Since he has only been in my tank for a few hours, is it more likely that he got it at the store, or can it be contracted that quick? all of my other guys look fine. I am getting a 5 gallon tub with a heater and power head set up as a temp sort of hospital tank. It doesn't look like any of my...

    What color is a bristle worm?

    I was just spacing out on my tank and this pink thing with white tufts poking out every so often along two sides comes out of a hole and starts wiggling around. I thought bristle worms were white, What color are they? :notsure:

    possible ich

    So I just added a blue hippo tang to my tank without QT since I don't have one yet, and I noticed that he has what looks like grains of sand on him, I don't know how to tell if it is ich, or if it actually is sand since there is still a giid bit of sand floating around in the tank since I just...

    good beginner anemone?

    You opened a can of worms with that one...or you may have. I have read many times that 4-5 watts per gallon is a rule of thumb.....not a rule, a rule of thumb. It depends on the depth of the tank and such. I currently have a Haitian Anenome and a Rose Bubble Tip Anenome in a 29 gallon under...
