Thanks for the help guys.

I just added a yellow tang to my reef tank. First tank after my fight with ick (the ick won :( ). Anyway, I let my tank sit for about a month to let the ick cycle out of my tank. Now back to the tang. Is it unusaul for a fish to hid behind the rocks at first? Will he tend to come out more...

I have had to move all of my fish to a QT due to ich. My only problem is that there is no algee in the QT for my blenny to eat. What can I feed him? Will he eat Nori like my yellow tang? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have heard people say that bristle worms are bad for a reef tank. Why is that? And, if they are bad for the tank, then how can I get rid of them. Thanks

I just got my first eel, and I love it. It is about 8" long, and about as round as my little finger. Here is my question. How often should I feed him. I have heard everyday, every other day, and 2 times a week. I am giving him squid right now, but I plan on trying him on other stuff also...

I have a 75 gal tank with LR/DSB, cleaner crew, SFE, tang, clown, goby, starfish, mushrooms, and xenia. My question is how long is to long for my lights to stay on. I have them set on a timer so that my actenic comes on about 930, my MH about 1000, and then the MH goes off at 2200, and the...

I am planning on buying a clown fish and some anenomes from SWF in an order I am placing. But here is my question - will a clown fish "hang with" an Atlantic/Hatian/Florida anenome? Or, do I need to buy a different kind of anenome?

I have a 75gal reef tank with the following fish in it - clown fish, yellow tang, and a mandarin. I also have several anenomies, and some soft corals. I have several inverts - crabs, shrimp, feather dusters, cucumbers, starfish, etc. My question is can I add a SFE to the setup. I really like...

I know that mandrins eat stuff off of live rock, but will they also eat frozen foods? My lfs said they have food for a mandrin. My wife really wants one (she says it looks cool) and she thinks my young sons will like it. (And as any good man knows you have to keep the wife happy :cool: )...

I have recently aquired quite a lot of Southdown Sand, and my wife wants it out of our garage. If you can help, please email me at txrunning@yahoo.com Thanks

I just added southdown sand, tonight, and I need to know if I leave my powerheads off for a couple of days if it will hurt my tank. All I have in there are a few starfish, some crabs, and a small piece of xenia. I read that if I leave the power heads off the sand will settle faster, but how...

As far as where you can get a cheap tank, look in the classifieds, or on ----. I just got my tank last week off of ---- for real cheap. It is a 75g - nice stand, with 85lbs lr, the water, filtration system, MH lighting canopy and light, some inverts, and lots of extras. I only paid $400. So...

dbur said that he has made cement rocks for his tank. Has anybody else done this. I would like more info on this.

dbur can you explain how you made the rock from portland cement. I saw a website on how to do it, but is it really that easy? Do you have any pics of the stuff you made?

I am confused about live rock. I understand that LR is good for your tank, and that it is live because it has lots of bacteria and stuff on it. But, if I put in plain rocks (I understand it can't be any old rock) will they eventually become LR? If so, how long does it take, and what, if...

I am still working on my new setup, but I am having to go very slow because of $$. I was wondering if anyone has ever built a skimmer that will work in a sump? If so, I would be very interested in knowing how it was done. Or, would it be less money if I just go out and buy one?

I am setting up a new tank (my first salt water tank). And I am wondering about what type of lighting is the best. I have read about flourescent, and metal halide, but I cann't determine which is the best for me. My tank will be a 50 gallon tank, with live rock, inverts, a few fish, and maybe...

Thanks Jimmi If I don't go with a hex tank, what about the tall tank?

I am brand new at the hobby and I have enjoyed reading all the messages. However, I have not found out the answer to my concern. Can I use a tall tank, as oppoesed to a long tank to set up a LR? What about a hexigon tank? I am considering a tank around 50 gal. Thanks for your help.
