    Buddies!!

    My yellow watchman and jawfish do the same thing. The watchman did what he was suppposed to, watched the jawfish dig and then just went into the burrow when it was done.

    New 50 gal tank advice

    thanks, I was just worried I would see my tang in the grips of my CB shrimp one morning. As he gets older he seems to be getting a little more aggressive towards fish.

    New 50 gal tank advice

    Sorry about the duplicate title. I think my yellow tang thinks that the CBS is a cleaner. He is always backing up to it a then sitting still and letting the shrimp pick at him. He has some fin missing in two spots, will this grow back? Any advice...

    New 50 gal tank advice

    I just ordered a 50 gallon tank to replace my current 20 gallon. I was wondering if I could keep a yellow watchman goby and a jawfish together in this tank without a problem. Currently I have a Coral Banded shrimp, a clown, and hermits and snails. I have a deep sand bed now and will have one...

    Emerald crab ?

    I have an emrald and it is very peaceful. Your cleaner is probably to fast for it anyway. Mine is in with a coral banded and peppermint shrimp. It stays in the hole of one of my rocks and really only comes out at night. It also depends on the idividual, but I would say you would be ok. The...

    Buying a new aquarium!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the responses! The problem I am having is pricing a tank. I want to make sure that I am not getting ripped off. I can check prices for all of the other stuff, but it is hard to find prices of tanks that are not custom online. I am thinking that for a nice 75 gallon tank or...

    can some one help me out with my water

    That tank is to small for the triggers, they may be what is killing your coral. Triggers also put out alot of waste, and you have a small tank. You can keep the clown but wait until your water stabilizes before you buy anymore fish, probably about a month minimum.

    Copepods hopefully?

    i ordered a featherduster and a bunch of those things were with it. A few of them got into my tank and I noticed them floating at the top of my tank on top of the water. I have noticed there are several clear featherdusters on my live rock now. Dont know if these were baby featherdusters or...

    Cleaning Sand In Nano

    i dont clean my sand bed. I have a clean-up crew that usually stirs it up a little, but you dont want it stirred up that much because it can release toxins into your water. You could just try and clean the surface just make sure you do not stir it up to much. The algea will die off eventually...

    Coral Banded Shrimp=killer

    yeah, i am sure they are not molts. My water parameters are good, corals are doing fine too. I am beginning to think it is the peppermint shrimp because he is very nosey. I think he ate one of my corals in the past. I had a queen conch and I think it has been eaten by the shrimp as well...

    I have a coral banded shrimp and a peppermint shrimp in my reef tank. I just got a new cleaner pack with some blue hermits and some zebra hermits. In the last couple of days about 4 of my zebras have been killed. I find both shrimp eating them, just trying to figure out which one is more...

    12 Gallon Set up Brand new HELP!!!

    Did you get the DX or the regular NANO? The bioballs are the little plastic balls that go in one of the three compartments in the back. Live Rock rubble is just small pieces of live rock that would fit in the back, when you do this though I think you need a light back there, so you may want to...

    12 Gallon Set up Brand new HELP!!!

    yeah, you should probably wait to get some subtrate before you put any water in your tank. As for the live rock it will act as a natural filter for your tank and help it to cycle in the beginning. You will probably want about 10lbs of live rock. A lot of people also take out there bioballs...
