okay to just update ya'll the urchin is on my glass right where water level is,,,kinda funny. SO i'm taking it that thats good. This urchins not to pretty or anything, but i needed something to eat all this dang algae. My LFS didn't have any other ones except for a black long spined urchin which...

I bought a pencil urchin today from my lfs. When i went to put him in the lfs told me to place him directly on my lr which is covered by hair algae. Well, i did and he fell off behind the rock and the glass. He hasn't moved except for his spines kinda swaying if you watch closely. I know these...

I purchased a small percula and an anemone. My clownfish is doing great, but the same thing cannot be said of my anemone. It passed (boo-hoo). Right now my clarkii has been without an anemone for 3 days and seems okay. He swims around with my engineer goby and eats flake and makes himself home...

I just got done cycling my tank and I'm a newbie too! The first fish I added to my aquarium was a engineer gobie aka convict blenny. At first I didn't really want him because he wasn't a bright color (he's black and white) but he's awesome! This little guy just keeps shoveling under the sand and...

great thanks for the quick response!

Can I have an arrow crab and cleaner shrimp in my 55 gallon? Someone told me that the crab would eat the shrimp. Is this true?

My tank has been up for about 2-3 weeks. I have a snail & hermit in there that popped out of my LR. My Ammonia/nirtrite are 0. PH is normal Nitrate is 10. I have this brown looking stuff starting to grow on one of LR and some spots on my sand. Kinda ugly looking. Just wondering what this may be...

thanks to all that responded. Tank is crystal clear! I ran the filter all night and woke up to voila, beauty. I just added some base rock, which broke me, so whenever i get enough money to actually put some more stuff in there and when ever it gets done cycling i will definatley put pics up...

I set my tank up with sand and water 3 days ago. I used tap with dechlorinated drops. I knew the water was going to be cloudy because of the sand but I thought it would have cleared up by now. I turned my filter and powerhead off when I put the sand in and kept it off. The water turned really...

thanks so much. I'm definatley gonna buy a skimmer, taking the pellets out, and i never thought about rinising the sponge out so thanks for that!!!! Everyone has been such a great help! :cheer:

Does the skimmers make the water more clear and do i use it with my filter or alone?

I'm gonna buy a timer when my tank is finished cycling. The aragonite is sand. and I will take your advice on getting another powerhead. But you think the filter is okay as long as i take out the pellets right? The powerhead seems really strong on the bottom I am gonna take a sponge or somthing...

do i replace them after the cycling or just throw em away? Or should i just buy a different filter? IF so, what kind?

OK, i set up my 55 gal yesterday. So far, I only have saltwater and aragonite in it. The water is foggy but hopefully it will all settle in the next day or so, then I am going to add a layer of LS then some LR. This is my equipment so far please let me know if I am missing anything, or if I got...

i never heard of the TLC before but they told me to use it right after I get everything set up with the sand and lr and such. It says on the bottle "reduces fish stress and mortality" "stops ammonia and nitrite build up" "safe for all fish and invertebrates" It says to use when starting new...

I went to my lfs today and bought everything i possibly could need for my 55 gal aquarium. They gave me this stuff called TLC for saltwater aquariums and told me that it cuts down the cycling period. They also told me to go ahead and fill my tank with tap water along with my salt mix and add...

I just bought a satellite light for my 4 ft long 55 gallon and it cost me around $250. 2 actinic and 7,000 k lamps. So i say that's about around what you would pay unless you get second hand from [hr] site, i couldn't find any when i looked a couple weeks ago. Good luck

Very gorgeous and nicely layed out! What is the purple coral or sponge in the first pic kinda towards the middle left? And the bright bluish things in your nano? Very pretty
