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...

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 finally see what you mean when you say my porc. will beg for food. Little bugger. Those sad little eyes make you feel sorry for them. Little con artist, he knows exactly what he is doing. What a personality. I love him. Oh, and he is teaching my lionfish those bad habits too. Shame on...

Pufferlover and everyone else, you guys were right. I got the porcupine puffer I had discussed and he is great. He is doing well and getting along with the fuzzy dwarf lionfish that is his tank mate. He is eating well and active mostly in the evening. I have named him Hootey (Hootey and the...

I have a friend who recently started a saltwater tank. Its a 55 gal with 35 lbs of live rock and about 40lbs crushed coral. She has been adding fish to the tank quite regularly. damsels, yellow tang, watchman goby, lawnmower blenny, mandarine, 2 brittle stars, emerald crabs, scarlet and blue...

Now that we have established that The fish I am wanting is a porcupine fish and a cutie I might add, I read somewhere on the net that they are poisonous. Now, I know that some are poisonous to eat but are they to touch. In other words, am I going to be cleaning out the tank and accidently get...

Well, here's the problem. I just added more lighting. I went from 15wt. smartlight to a 65 wt smartlight for my 32gal reef. Now, there is algea everywhere. I cleaned the glass and within 4 days, its covered with brown algea YUK!!! I bought a lawnmower blenny and a bicolor blenny but they...

My tank has been set up for almost a year now and I was thinking about getting an open brain coral. I have a 65wt power compact light and he will go in the 32gal reef. I do have a protien skimmer and so far, the other corals had done great. recap... button polyps, toadstool, devils hand...

I haven't directly feed mine, I feed frozen foods to the tank as a whole. Should I be directly feeding my corals? They include: 7 mushrooms 1 toadstool 1 devils hand leather button polyps 1 large cluster and severl small ones. I add coralvite and calcium daily, and iron weekly. I also have...

I just got an algae blenny last night because my reef was getting overrun with brown algea due to the mini cycle from changing the tanks. anyway, the one that I got was rather large and in really good condition. after the aclimation period, he started munching away. I had never seen them eat...

My friend just set up his first saltwater tank, a 37gal eclipse. He is one of those who likes to go all out. I tried to tell him that he can't add corals because of the poor lighting and no place to fit a skimmer without cutting the hood. He is looking into wave makers and started asking me...

I switched my reef tank to my plex tank and the protein skimmer won't fit. how can I cut the plex without the dust falling in the tank. This is so frustrating. I am using an emperor 28 filtration and 2 75 powerheads and, 65wt smartlite. I have 2 mushroom rocks, devils hand, button polyps...

Last night while at my lfs, I saw the cutest little eel. They called it a garden eel. I know, I know, shouldn't buy things until Ive done my homework but, it was too cute to pass up. My question is this.....Does anyone know anything about them. Did a search last night and couldn't find a...

I just bought a 40gal eclipse. I got a really great deal from my lfs. I decided to transfer my dwarl lionfish into there from the 30gal. first, I had to break down my reef because I needed to put the new tank in its place. That done, i proceded to set up the new tank and I used the water...

:( I am so sad today. I have been noticing lately that my goni hadn't been opening up like he had in the past but always made excuses. Well, This morning out of about 30+ stems only about 6 were out and they were very small. I decided that it was better for my other inhabitants to remove him...

My pink skunk clownfish that I have had since my cycle which is about 8 months is so cute. He has the cutest personality and does the cutest thing, I thought I would share. I first added this beautiful seabae anenome for him to love and he did. They were so cute together for about 3 months...
