I have a 160 on the way. Will the two do ok together in the 160?

in the 55 for now

Are they compatible when in the same tank?

Jeez! All I wanted was to ask a question about fish... OK, here it is: Whatever the reason is for being in Iraq, no matter how right or wrong, we can't win it. It's an insurgency! An organized military force can't win against an insurgency. It's been proven a thousand times throughout history...

Thanks Guys... They say, "Patience is a Virtue...!" He wate a bunch of seaweed sheet this am, and topped it off with a mouthfull of shrimp, so I guess we're on our way!! Thanks again for your help, Tom K

Thanks! I'll just work with "him" with the seaweed and shrimp. I thought that those two should work. My yellow tang eats the stuff by the bale and I figured the blue would also. I'll be patient.. Thanks again, Tom K

What's the best food for a blue hippo? He doesn't seem to want the flake or green seaweed that I have. Thanks, TK

Thanks guys! It never occurred to me that the critter may be a sponge, but it would make sense. I'll watch and see what happens. ***) Thanks again, Tom K

Lately I've found web type stuff growing on a LR in two different tanks. :notsure: It's gray, circular, fairly flat and about the size of a 50 cent piece. It has some tiny tubes growing out of it, making me think it's a kind of filter feeder. Is it good or bad, or it it just another harmless...

Thank for the reply, I have a BTA that I've had for quite awhile. It was the host for the recent percs that I had, they took turns hosting. I just added a Florida Condi and a PT Haitian that I was intending to put into the 30 gal when I'm SURE it's not going to cyle due to the new LR. I'm...

Yes, only SWF.com in three different groups. Any ideas?

Never mind, everyone, I'll figure it out... tk

Thanks for the quick reply! I normally check levels every three or four days, with a 15-20% RO/DI water change, at the minimum each week. If the levels are up, I make a record so I can track them until they return to normal. If not I don't record them. DT is a 6 month old 55 with 30# LS and 30#...

Over the past six months I've had a few different clowns: Most recently 2 Clarkiis and a Perc. In every case they slowly die off with the rest of the population in the tank remaing fine. They slowly become lethergic, and as they are laying around doing nothing their eyes slowly cloud over and...

I have a Remora C with a Rio 800 pump. I would like to put about 24" of clear flex between the pump and skimmer. I have the perfect sized flex tubing that has had only tap water through it once. Problem is that the tubing seems to have a kind of mild chemical type odor when I sniff the end. I...

Sorry for busting in on your thread, but what the heck is "chaeto?" Thanks, TK

I'm relatively new also. What I've learned from this forum, is that the algea, either green or brown, is not going to hurt anything other than it looks bad, but it does indicate a problem. I've read that it indicates a high phosphate level usually caused by something decomposing. Over-feeding...
