Oops!!! lets try that again www.geocities.com/scraphappy4life/PlaytimesReefTank/html

Well, I took some new tank pics. My mom's camera isn't that great so the pics aren't either but I hope you get some idea. Let me know what you think Playtime www.geocities.com/scraphappy4life/playtimesreeftank/html

I had a clownfish in with mine when I had my 20gal and they did fine together. I am sure you can add gobby's or firefish or blenny's. You might be able to add 2 bangii cardinals. I wouldn't add more than 1 or 2 fish depending on the size. And, without a doubt, keep a close eye on your water...

I have an UGF and so far no problems. That said, It should be fine to remove it then add your stuff back. What I did was syphen out the cc first to remove most of the yuk then removed everything including the filter. You shouldn't have to take out all the cc just remove enough of it to get to...

Mr. Salty: I know this is going to sound odd but can you pleas explain how to set up a refugium? I have a 3 gal eclips aquarium that I bought about 6 months ago and it is empty, can I use this? Can you please go into detail about refugiums, how they work, how to set them up, everything. I am...

I have a mandarine and he is very healthy, fat, and gorgeous. They are NOT easy to keep. He is the 5th one but he is doing great. As you have heard, a well established tank is a must, that is the reason for the loss of the other 4. I do feed brine shrimp and one extra thing I do is feed then...

I use crushed coral in both tanks. Are you sure that I wont get a bucket of yuk and no copepods? I wouldn't want to put in lionfish poop instead of copepods. :eek: Playtime

My lionfish tank has many, many, many copepods. In case I didn't make that clear, many!!! My reef tank however doesn't have many since my mandarine and others eat them. does anyone know how I might be able to harvest them from the lionfish tank and transfer them to the reef? Hate to see a...

(1) the red crab could be a color variance of the emeralds. Mine have been brown and even white during a molt. I would have to say that most crabs are harmless. I can tell you that without a picture, I am not much help. do any of the other crabs have shells or no? If they do, what color are...

Welcome to the hobby. To get this out of the way, you need to know that 20 gal tanks are a little harder to keep good readings. I had a tank that size for almost a year with very few problems but I had good filtration. I agree that I wouldn't get into corals until you were more familar with...

Sounds really interesting. Can you get a picture? Playtime

I think the fish you are thinking sound fine with the exception of the Tang. Tangs need more swimming room. I am not quite sure what fish you mean with regards to half yellow half orange? Which type of clownfish are you thinking of? Playtime

I was hoping that getting stung isn't what happened but I think I was in denial. I am not angry with the lionfish (Metro) I know he wasn't being mean. He really has a great temperment. I am sorry to see Hootey go. He will be missed. I think I will keep Metro all by himself so that no one...

So, just say he did get stung, maybe it isn't a good idea to add another fish to that tank. I know that there is plenty of room for both but I can't bare see it happen again. Pufferlover: :( once stung, how long can it take to show signs? does it start right away or does it progress over...

As you can tell by my quick reply, I really want to get to the bottom of this. I was feeding about 1/2 to 3/4 cube of frozen either mysis or squid every other day. I know that cant be too much. I feed them by hand so I know about how much each one is getting. I did a small water change and...

Well, I have had him for a few weeks but the lfs kept him for me for about two weeks before I purchased him. He was about 3-4 inches long. I was feeding him mysis and squid. If I had poor water quality or he hadn't been eating and acting strange, I wouldn't be so shocked. He was perfect...

My lionfish does the same thing. That is hilarious. Playtime

I hope someone has an answer for me. Friday night, after feeding time, I noticed that Hootey my porcupine puffer was breathing hard but thought it was due to the excitement of feeding. Saturday morning He looked worse, breathing harder and not swimming well at all. Did a quick water test and...

I agree but need more info. Any other disappearances? What makes you think he is in the underground filter. Can you see his body? Check the Ph again to make sure he isn't stuck in there. That has been known to happen. Playtime
