Hello, I purchased a beautiful Copperband butterfly about two weeks ago. I have offered clam, marine flake, frozen brine, & mysis shrimp, frozen squid, frozen "marine cuisine", all to no avail. I've also tried soaking in garlic. She seems interested, but when she gets close, she turns away. I...

Happy Fathers Day! I was cleaning my tank glass today, and noticed some greenish/blue algae growing on the bottom edge of the glass and a little on the sand. This is good right? My red sea sailfin tang and blue hippo tang seemed to enjoy the floating bits. I have a flame angel on hold at my LFS...

in your opinion then, what would you do??????????????

Thanks seasalt 101. Anyone else???????????????????

What is the general rule for stocking a fish tank with fish. Is it 1 inch of fish for every 10 gallons of water? Less? More? John.

any idea where they come from???????????

I've discovered these star-like things on my glass and searched around a bit to find out that they are hydroid jellyfish. No one seems to have any information about them. How did they get there, and how do you get rid of them. Is anyone an authority that can make an intelligent comment about...

Hi, I bought a Red Sea Sailfin Tang at my LFS on Thursday. They told me he had just eaten so I shouldn't offer any food until Sunday. Well Sunday came and I fed him a bit of the thawed frozen greens that Tangs are supposed to love so much. He didn't touch it! Any thoughts as to why? He seems to...

What about using Birospira to help the cycle along?

Please clarify if you can. I've read so many posts and listened to so many people debate over the use of a raw shrimp to cycle a tank with, rather than getting damselfish or other hardy "starter fish". My 70 gallon RR has about a two inch layer of live sand. I'm getting ready for rock and...

Hi, I have a brand new 70 gal. tank in which I want to keep fish only. I also want it to look very natural. I have aquired two decent sized resin coral skeletons (I think that's what they're called), and I want to buy enough lava rock to simulate an artificial reef. Can anyone post some...

I've been to mutts and butts plenty of times. They have great stuff, only a little pricey on some stuff. You said earlier that I shouldn't add rock after fish. Any reason?? I was unsure as to what kind of rock to buy.

Hello all, I just registered, and I'm a brand new saltwater fish tank owner. I'm really psyched, but I don't want to rush things. The set-up I purchased is as follows......... 70 Gallon reef ready Oceanic tank Oceanic wet/dry sump filter 8 watt In-line UV sterilizer 36" Coralife Aqualight Pro...
