    What could this be?

    Okay - so I did the FW dip for 5 minutes on the new clown, no noticealbe change, nothing fell off him. Then after stressing the other out by trying to catch him, I tried the FW dip on him, buy I didn't leave him in for the 5 minutes because he was acting like he was about to die. He curled all...

    What could this be?

    okay, if indeed it is black ick, and I go home tonight and do a FW dip, the black spots should fall off right? Will that be enough treatment for it? Should I also dip the fish that don't show any signs?

    to upgrade or not to upgrade?

    Hey everyone. I have been given an oppurtunity to upgrade from my current 29g semi-reef with Nova extreme T-5s(48x12x12) to a 55g (48x12x19?) anyway I won't be gaining any length or width, just depth. My current tank is tied in with a 29g tall and 10g sump/fuge so I'm running a 68g system. If...

    urchins

    back to the question... my pencil urchin was constantly knocking everything over. Even the big rocks. He would wedge himself between them till they gave. That's what came around to get him in the end! I don't know if other urchins are as strong or not. This was also in a 29g, and the size...

    Corallife or Nova Extreme ????

    I upgrated from coralife PC's to the Nova and I LOVE the Nova! It's so much brighter, and the moon lights are nice. I'm keeping shrooms, GSP, zoas, ricordia, along with two small patches of unidentified sps hitchhikers which are growing!

    elusive peppermint shrimp?

    Thanks, when I went home at lunch and feed the fish (regular feeding time) I looked again, still no sign. I have one large rock that is almost completly hollow, and I saw several go under it when I put them in. Hopefully they will soon come out. I was hoping they would start eating the few...

    Why are SPS popular?

    thanks! Right now I'm running a Nova extreme. Tank depth is only 12". I've got an oppurtunity to purchase several types of SPS frags from a local reefer and I just want to know the easiest to keep, so that I can get the hang of it before jumping in head first.

    Why are SPS popular?

    WOW! I too have been wondering the deal with SPS, but after those pics -wow- What's the time difference between the before and after shots? Also what would be a good beginner SPS with T-5 lighting?

    elusive peppermint shrimp?

    I do have alot of hiding places in the rock, several caves, etc, that I can't see into. I was just worried because I thought I saw an antenna in the royal gammas mouth after I put them in, but couldn't really tell. I watch intently when I feed, everything gets really active, but still haven't...

    elusive peppermint shrimp?

    Hi guys. Tuesday night I added seven (small) peppermint shrimp to my tank, and I haven't seen them since! Are these shrimp that secretive, or were they just a tasty snack for my fish? I've looked for what seems like hours now, even got out the flashlight last night and looked. I haven't seen...

    clown coloration

    I orignally purchased two clownfish (percs) from swf a few months ago. They were both the exact same color when I recieved them. Unfortunaltly one was very stressed and did not make it after a few days. I recently got another from here again, but the coloration is very different from the...

    Gobies

    I don't have a lot of expierence with gobies, but let me say this. I had a yellow watchman, green clown goby and lawnmower blenny together - no problems. After the yellow watchman and green clown gobies were MIA (they dissapeared) I put in a pink blue shrimpgoby, and the lawnmower blenny can't...
