I have heard that coraline algae is a good thing. It has covered the back wall of our 29 gal biocube which I am fine with. However, it is starting to grow in the curved glass front corners of the tank. It is difficult to scrub off. Any suggestions on how to keep it in check would be appreciated...

I have been traveling quite a bit over the last month or so. I have been doing water changes but have not been as diligent with the water testing as I usually am. I did a water change last weekend before leaving on a trip. I returned yesterday and the tank looked OK. This evening when I got home...

Anyone have experience with these. I have one reserved at the lfs. Will pick him up this afternoon. I have read that they are not really hawkfish but Anthias and that they act and look more like hawks hence the name. Also read that they are good in smaller tanks. I have a 29 gal biocube. Sounds...

I was in the LFS the other day buying a Pygmy Angel. The store had a tiny Cortez Angel. Really cool looking fish. I had never heard of them. I almost got him instead but figured he would get too big for my 29 gal. Anyone have experience with a Cortez? What size tank do they need?

Still haven't decided on a name for this one.

We have a little false perc in our tank that was the first fish in. He went through a rough time with a six line wrasse until I returned the wrasse. I added another false perc and they get along fine. I didn't realize how torn up the little guy was until there was another one in the tank to...

I have a Yellow clown goby that has been in the tank for about three weeks. It seems like he goes through several color changes in a day. Nice and yellow one minute and then seems to go pale and then the color returns. Is this normal? Anyone ever experience this before?

We have had an emerald crab for 3 - 4 months now and have yet to see any evidence of molting. We had a Sally Lightfoot for a short time and it molted twice. Even the cleaner shrimp has molted twice since we got him about two months ago.

...and whoever produces his show should be running the military. Ever notice that when sombody famous dies, Anna Nicole being the latest, that within hours they have a complete show with panels and guests all over the place. If we could mobilize the Military that fast we could take out anybody...

I'm probably going to start something here but what is your success rate at keeping fish in your tank. How many fish are alive in your tank today? Divide that number by the total number of fish you have put in your tank since you started. I have three fish today. Since we started we have put a...

I've been waiting on my LFS to get me a fighting conch for three weeks now. Are these things seasonal?

LFS has a couple nice looking frags of orange sun polyps. Guy there said they didn't need much light. Anybody have any experience with them. I'm trying to add some different colors to my 29 gal bio cube and I am limited by lighting.

Anybody have any luck/experience with replacing the stock PC's with something stronger? I want to keep the original hood if possible. Thanks

Well "Freddy ( our six line wrasse ) Kruger" got himself caught in my trap yesterday and made the return trip to the LFS. He started out fine for about three months then went psycho and killed our cherub angel. He is also getting credit for the demise of a fridmandi (sp?) dottyback and possibly...

I added a sebae anemone yesterday and so far the thing is doing a mean impression of a tumble weed. Can these things right themselves if they land upside down or do I need to turn it over. It doesn't close up at all it just hasn't planted it's foot yet.

Much to my dismay our six line wrasse killed our cherub angel this evening. They had co existed in the tank for better than three months. Now I believe what I thought was a string of "bad luck" with adding new fish was actually the wrasse. We are down to the wrasse and a false perc and I fear...

What experiences do you all have with Cleaner Shrimp. We have one in our 29n gal biocube. Been in there for over a month. He wants to set up a cleaning program but the fish aren't co-operating. Six Line Wrasse, Cherub Angel and False Perc. Does it take a while for the fish to figure it out or is...

We have an assortment of Hermit crabs, an Emerald crab, Astera turbo, Mexican turbo and Cerith snails and a cleaner shrimp in our 29 gal biocube. The fish are a six line wrasse, cherub angel and false perc. What would be a good addition to keep the LS clean. Current crew doesn't seem to be...

Will a Sebae typically host a false perc. Our little clown lost it's partner not too long ago and i was thinking about addinga Sebae anemone. Any experieces?

We added a yellow watchman goby to our 29gal bio cube yesterday. I dripped for an hour then put him in. He ate fine when I fed them last night. I found him dead in the drip tray this morning. Any thoughts? The other fish in the tank are a six line wrasse, a cherub angel and a false perc, along...
