    loud noises bad for fish?

    We are thinking about putting our fishtank in the basement. We are also going to have a movie room in the basement, which will probably be fairly loud. And my husband and his friends like karaoke pretty loud... I was just wondering if this will negatively affect the fish? I mean, how much of it...

    Gorgonian???

    I had two a red and a yellow. Only one is living. They are difficult to keep. Corraline algae keeps building up on mine. I have to hand massage them to get the corraline off. They act like corals in that they have these white polyps that come out. Also, you are supposedly supposed to keep them...

    Are you supposed to change bio-balls?

    What if you just take like one out every couple of weeks? Will that be ok? I didn't realize they were "nitrate factories." I would never have kept them in the 'fuge this long if I had known

    engineer goby

    Everyone thinks my engineer goby is an eel. It's so friggin cool. He is awesome. He builds little underground tunnels everywhere. But that is the part you have to be careful with. You have to have your live rock incredibly stable, or he will knock em down. They get HUGE! They come to you at...

    feeding anemones

    Why, yes. Yes I did! My fish are all incredible pigs. I feed em once, even twice a day and they act like they haven't eaten in three weeks! My fish are all fighting to suck the food out of the turkey baster all of the time! It's quite comical, actually. But my bubble tip gets fed, and he's happy!

    feeding anemones

    Turkey baste that food directly into the anemone. That's what i do. I do some big pieces, some small pieces. The clown tries to steal some, but he can't steal it all before the anemone closes. :) Also distraction helps. I squirt some in the middle of the tank, and when he is busy, I go feed the...
