Thanks for the responses. This brings me to a side question, why do they ship some of the snails dried? I would think that they would die (obviously they won't or they wouldn't do it). But I just wonder how they can survive without being in water. I just got the order in and it looks like...

Hi All, This is the first time I've bought live stock from SaltWaterFish.com. I purchased the Janitor Reef Package. I recieved an email from swf.com stating that the snails and hermit crabs didn't need to go through the Acclimation process and only to float them in the tank for 15 minutes in...

Actually, the false perc is the largest and most aggressive out of the three. Perhaps it's better to stay on the safe side and not get a lion fish right now. I just wasn't sure how big a dwarf lion actually got and if it would be able to fit one of those smaller fishes in it's mouth.

Hi All. We are thinking about getting a Dwarf Lion for our 55g but are concerned if it will get big enough to eat it's tankmates. Tankmates are a False Perc, Bicolor Blenny, and Sunrise Dottyback. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible that a fish might have been irritating it? I would think that as long as the tenticals are not loosing color, then it should be ok. My frogspawn doesn't fully extend in certain areas sometimes and it's been doing good for a while now. However, someone else may have something to...

I have had my 20g reef tank up and running for a couple of years now. Here lately I am having a bad hair algae problem. A lot has to do with me slacking on my water changes. Another part might be because it's been about a year since I changed the bulbs. I am starting to get caught up on my...

It must be an Instant Ocean thing. My mom uses Instant Ocean and it's always cloudy when she does a water change. I always thought that it was the way she mixes it. She pours the salt into water jugs with lids and just shakes them up (doesn't use a powerhead). Anyway, the tank gets cloudy...

I only have a perc. clown in my tank right now. I think he can handle his own. My only problem is that the tank is only 20 gallons. Everybody says that they get to be 5" or more. I have also read that they don't need a whole lot of room though because they just kinda lounge around on the...

Tonight I came home and found my sixline wrasse lying on the floor. He jumped ship. It sucks because he was such a good looking fish. I'm thinking about getting a lawnmower blenny to replace him (have a bit of a hair algae problem). I've read that some blennies have been known to jump out of...

We've had a pair of clowns (false percs.) for a little under a year now. When we first got them they fought for about two weeks. The little clown got real bad but was able to bounce back when the larger clown stoped picking on him. That was almost a year ago. They've been getting along since...

The last few days some of my BTA's tenticles are shorter than the rest. It's like he has little nubby tenticles. This just started about the same time my clown fish started playing with him. I figure the BTA is just irritated by the clown but I'm not sure, what do you guy's think? Thanks

After one month, my bta finally hosted my percula. I'm so happy, I thought my chances were slim because the percula is tank raised but I lucked out. :happy:

Should I or can I add Reef Builder to boost up my alk in my water change water? It's sitting at about 6 dKH and calciums at > 500 ppm. I was thinking about bringing up the alk before the water change, but I think I remember reading on here that you should wait and add it to the tank after the...

Sorry about the picture, it does suck. Does anybody have any good pictures of a Mojano Anemone that I could compare it to? Thanks.

Any of you guys know what this is. Looks like pinkish tenticles with green tips growing out of a small hole in the rock.

Is mg/L equal to ppm. The bottle of calcium additive measures the calcium by mg/L and my test kit measures in ppm. So are they the same?

:happy: Thats pretty neat. I like that. On a side note though, it looks like your clown is bobbing up and down. I also have a true perc that does that. Just wondering if anybody knows why they do that. Good to know that mine isn't crazy or anything, but it looks like he would get sick after...

My sixline does the same thing. He picks on my cleaner shrimp and leaves my fire shrimp alone. He hasn't taken any limbs though. IMO, I would just let them be, maybe he will quite after a while. I wouldn't take out the sixline over a shrimp.

I would try turning off any powerheads you may have for a minute so that there is no flow in your tank to blow away the food. Then set a piece of food on his mouth and watch to see if he takes it. If you have a shrimp, keep him back so he doesn't steal the food.
