Is your tank by any direct sunlight? That will make the brown algae grow fast too.

My personal opinion: Whether it is 10% a week or 20-30% every three weeks the point is CONSISTENCY AND REGULARITY The fish will have constancy in there lives which is what they get in there natural habitat.

Thank you all. Although I have seen no evidence of his "shell"....hmmm it's kinda strange cuz he was just staying in the same spot for a couple of dayz, wouldn't hardly eat.. (before he was very active, moving all over the place) and so I was wondering if he was molting or what. Anyway he is...

Originally posted by clayton: Yes the y do. They should also be provided with a mix of empty shells they can use. Is it characterized by them sitting in the same spot for a long period of time. Mine has been sitting in the same spot for about a day and a half now. How long does it take them to...

I have a red legged Hermit Crab and I am wondering if they molt like shrimp do? Or do they have their own "thing" they do?

Okay i'm gonna try this again I have a F/O 80gal. Not fish only as there are 2 shrimp, a Hermit crab in it also, ANYWHO, I want to add a Protein Skimmer. I'm running a Fluval 404. Now what I would like to know is: Which one do you experts recommend? Also, I'm going to convert to a wet/dry in...

I'll give you my two favs in my tank Dogface Puffer (Puffy) Redlegged Hermit Crab (Daffy) (iknowhe'snotafish )

I have a fairly descent size red leg hermit crab and he's always "sucking" on the crushed coral substrate. Also two (don't remember which ones) snails and they have visited the bottom from time to time. [This message has been edited by MGochay (edited 04-23-2000).]

From what I've heard on this board you should be alright putting the Yellow tang in after your blue tang. I'm about to do the opposite (have a Yellow and Naso and going to put a Blue/Hippo Tang in a couple of days) anyways IMO you should be okay. Matter of fact I had my Yellow in first and then...

My suggestion: Be a bit more patient. I had mine for that amount of time before he started eating but shortly afterwards he did. Also if yours has little white blotches on his body (not ick, a discoloration on his body in the form of spots) like mine did after I put him in my tank don't worry...

Originally posted by Jess: I have tried it and it works great. I never use copper anymore. I just add Garlic to there food. This makes the fish release something in there slim coating that bothers the parasites and they fall off. Its great for fish in Reef tanks. Go to this site, near the bottom...

Wow I live in California and I can buy RO for $1.00 for 5 gal.

I don't know how much your planning on spending, but I just bought a Marine Technical Concepts HSA 1000. Let me tell you, this thing rocks. Within 8hrs of start-up, I had about one quart of this chewing tobacco looking stuff. Marine Tech. defintely has my seal of approval. [/B] I'm looking...

What do you all think of the Berlin XL Protein Skimmer? This is the one I'm thinking of getting. Any good? Any better ones? Thanx

Originally posted by Kris: The best diet is a varied one--flakes, the dried seaweed (your tang especially must have lots of veggies) frozen meat/green varieties and whatever else you might think looks good at the fishy grocery store. (I must say I am particularly fond of the frozen dinners-and...
