Haha. yeah, but I think that it all depends on how you run things. I think sometimes that people go by the book a little too much. I mean, don't get me wrong, I know you need to take pre-cautions, etc. But, I just think that sometimes you have to take a chance, sometimes go ahead and get that...

Thanks for the advice. I will wait, It's been over a month since I added the new filter, new live rock and new live sand. I've tested my water twice since, no ammonia spike. Nitrates are at 15, they have been at that level for the longest time, not sure if I can ever get them down lol. My tanks...

oops, sorry (lol). I'm a bit tired, and yes, they are fluorescent and I was thinking that the ballasts may be the problem. Any idea on how much those usually cost to fix? A guy that I know at my LFS also said that I may need a new starter, he told me to bring it in so he can take a look at it...

Just pretty much standard lights, nothing special. I just need to know what might be the problem, or potential problems.

Okay, I'll admit that I let my tank go for a few months, It was empty, other than a few hermits. Anyways, last month, I decided to really fix it up and clean it up, I bought a new filter, added some new live rock and sand, new powerhead, so everything is running great. I have one more problem...

Hello, It's been a while since i've posted on here. Anyways, I am in need of a few suggestions on what to add to my tank. I currently have a Lunar Wrasse in the tank, I had him in with a Humu Humu Trigger but the Trigger died about a month and a half ago. Since then, I've done a few water...

Yay Area all the way baby!

I'm from Fairfield, anyone else from the area let me know it's always nice to chat with a local.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. It was pretty cute watching my coral beauty and yellow tang just hanging around the shrimp. He even pushed them away a little bit until he found a little area where he could hang out and then I saw him cleaning them. My coral beauty has a few little white spots on...

I bought one today along with a yellow tang and since I put them both in my Coral Beauty and Yellow Tang are both hanging around it trying to get cleaned. The fire shrimp tries to clean them but I don't know if he is or not? Can fire shrimp clean at all? also does this mean that they might have...

Thanks for your input. Yes I was thinking to drop the shrimp under the rock or behind a rock, my trigger is a really sweet fish but she does tend to bite things she doesn't recognize, like my water cleaning tube. So yeah she might go after the shrimp if she sees him just drop in but i'll be...

I have one right now, would it be risky to buy another one?

I want to buy a cleaner shrimp, or a pair of them, they work better in pairs right?? Anyways I have a blue throat trigger in the tank, 65 gallon tank by the way and I was wondering if the trigger would go after the shrimp? She's really cool and doesn't bother any of the smaller fish I have in...

I think they would be okay, but then again i've only kept engineer goby's and firefish goby's. What kind of goby is the one you already have?

Thanks I appreciate the help, Yeah I was thinking that she's going to get even bigger and eventually I will probably have to donate her to my lfs. Which will suck because I am already starting to get attatched to her, she's awesome. How fast will she grow you think? I don't overfeed her I do...

:help: I finally bought one of these last week, I've probably wanted one for at least 6 months but was afraid they might eat the smaller fish in my tank. The one I bought she was really timid and shy so I figured i'd give it a shot, she is a very sweet fish and doesn't bother anyone in my tank...

Since you guys are on the topic of salinity, i've noticed mine as gone up lately, i've made a few dumb mistakes I don't want to mention on here (lol). Anyways I need to lower it down but how quickly can I lower it down? would doing a 10 gallon change this week be too much? my tank is 65 gallons...

I haven't tried clam yet, I actually have never fed clam to any of my fish. Do they sell a specific type of clam for fish at the stores? or should I just give him regular uncooked clams? I tried mysis shrimp but not regular brine shrimp, I was told to stay away from that because it doesn't...

Been a while since I posted here and it's great to be back. Anyways last week I purchased a threadfin butterfly and I still haven't seen him eat, he does swim around alot and he also does his share of hiding, I bought him last Sunday to be exact. So far i've tried mysis shrimp, formula 2 frozen...

Hope you find him! I'm back baby! it's been a while I miss this site.
