If your ammonia and nitrites are back down to 0, I would go ahead and start skimming.

If you decide to part out, let me know. I'm interested in the lights.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I will go ahead and try it. All of my fish are small, so I think it should be fine. I think there will be enough in there for him to feed on for now, but when it's necessary, I will add algae sheets. My Royal Gramma is actually pretty active. When you...

Ok, in my 29 gallon I currently have: 2 Percs 1 yellow Clown Goby 1 Royal Gramma 2 Emerald crabs and an assortment of hermits and snails I've got plenty of filtration and water movement. Do you guys think I could get away with one more fish, such as a Lawnmower Blenny? I'd like to have one of...

Well for the first time tonight, I saw one of my perc clowns act aggressive toward the other. The larger one, approx 2" long grabbed the small one, approx 1" long, by the side fin and shook him all over the tank. I had to get the net after her to get her to turn loose. Any ideas what's going on...

Well, I only ended up getting 1 FD, but it's doing great! Thanks again guys.

Just throw a couple of Peppermint Shrimp in there, give them a couple days, and the Aiptasia will be gone. My tank was being overtaken by the stuff, so I bought 3 Peps, put them in, and now there's no sign of any Aiptasia anywhere. And the Shrimp are kinda cool to watch too.......

Good deal! Thanks guys, going to pick up a few feather dusters today then!

Hello everyone, Just a quick question. I'm wanting to add a couple of feather dusters in the near future. My only concern is my Peppermint Shrimp that I have. I think I've ready somewhere that they should be ok with feather dusters, just wanted to be sure though. I know the Peps sure were quick...

Peppermint shrimp will eat them all. I had Aiptasia all over my tank, dropped in some Peps (at the advice of the people on here) and within days all my Aiptasia was gone.

Yep, definitely get the peppermint shrimp. They are awesome. My tank was starting to get over run by that stuff, so I got 3 of the Peps. A couple days later I had no more Aiptasa.

Anyone have any idea?

For filtration, right now I just have a hang on filter that came with the aquarium kit. I have a protein skimmer on order though. It's a 29 gallon tank, 30-32lbs of LR, and 30lbs of sand for my substrate. All of my water parameters look good. The tank has been up and running for close to a year...

I've done a search on this and am getting mixed results. I just recently added a couple of peppermint shrimp and a Scooter Blenny to my tank. Just wondering when I can add another fish. I've read where some people say to give it a month for the bioload to adjust, and then I've seen where people...

Hello! Let me start by saying my tank had been up and running for several months and has been doing fine. I decided though that I didn't want the CC in the bottom of my tank any more, that I wanted sand. I was getting due for another water change, so I figured that was as good a time as any. I...

Are there different breeds of feather dusters? These don't look like the typical feather dusters I see at the LFS. Do I want to try to get rid of them?

I had a friend tell me that these things would spread quick, boy was he right. My question is what exactly is it? And do I really want a bunch of these things in my tank? Any insight you guys can give me on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking along the same lines, that I could just thoroughly rinse it and put it in, since there will be nothing to die off. Mine is a 29, and I currently have about 10-12lbs in mine. I'm not sure if it is enough biologically, but either way I want more. It's just...

Ok, a couple quick questions for you guys/gals. A friend of mine is offering me some rock for a very good price. It used to be LR that was in a 230 gallon. He since took it all down. He still has the rock, but it has all obviously dried. I'm thinking I'll buy some and throw in with my current...

My lfs is about a 30 minute drive. That was my only concern, die-off on the drive home. I didn't even think of taking a bucket with me, that sounds like a good idea. Might try that. I just hope they're not stingy with their water. :)
