    Yellowtail chromis?

    Is there such thing as a yellowtail chromis? They act more like damsels than chromis's. They are black or grey with a yellow tail. The one's I have have killed too many hermits and snails to count, a red cleaner shrimp, and my black ribbon eel (Eel was eating!) After this last death by...

    Everything looking terrible! Help!

    I cleaned the filter intake and outflow today, that could have done something, and I don't think there could have been some chemical, as the only things I put in the tank that were liquids was marine snow. As for water circulation, I have 2 pumps, not sure what the gallons per hour is but there...

    Montipora help

    I currently have a montipora (pretty sure, might be some other encrusting coral) that when I first got it, was knocked around by my yellowtail chromis's. I epoxyed it down, but since then, it's looked worse and worse. Now, it fell off the epoxy. I just got some coral glue with some fragging...

    Hm, to me (I'm probably wrong though) the first one looks like a cone shell more than a conch. Be careful

    Nudibranches

    I'm looking for as much info as I can on any species of nudi in aquariums. Any info is appreciated. I know that only lettuce nudis should be kept normally, but I'm looking for people's experiences on other ones. Thanks

    What do you wish you never added to your tank?

    my SOB yellowtail chromis's who attack anything in their territory, whether it's a snail, my hand, a chiton, or my shrimps. Or my serpent star who killed my sea cucumber and caused it to blow all its organs out :mad: . Or finally my sand-sifting star which is just needs so much more space.

    Chicago area LFS

    Don't remember where it was, but Deep Reef Aquatics is great if you want Clams, cukes or freshwater. Their saltwater fish isn't as good as the FW. Search it up, you'll find it. Also, if Addison is anywhere near Riverside or North Riverside, Scotts Pet Shop is a great place for FW and SW fish...

    anyone play runescape?

    I really hate runescape. Me and a ton of other people used to play it. We all quit pretty fast. But recently, I got bored, went on the site, made a guy (Can't say the name, there are children here) just to see how fast I could get banned.

    escape proofing a tank

    I have a SFE, and I need some way to escape proof my main tank. It is currently in my quarantine tank, which is fine in terms of escape-proofness. The only spots in my main tank where it could escape are where the protein skimmer hangs on and a little hole where some tubing comes out of. Any...
