I guess I will put my cash on Guyerson as he has the stones to pull this message out of the blue...and the fact that I work with him - Wow, that one really got my attention Guy!!!

I had them together in the past with no problems. The only time I ever saw a conflict was if they were after the same piece of food and then the larger skunk cleaner would just sort of chase off the peppermint shrimp but never hurt it.

This is quite a list but I will try to answer them all since I am bored at the moment: 1. What is your first name? Brian 2. Where do you live? Pittsburgh, PA 3. How long have you been reef keeping? 6 Years 4. How much would you guess you've spent on reefkeeping since you began? Approx 3,000 5...

How big do the sleeper gobies get? I am at a pretty comfortable with the bio-load in my tank and I am thinking of adding one more small fish that stays close to the bottom of the tank and helps keep the substrate looking clean (which is why I am thinking sand-sifting gobies). I just do not want...

Thanks for all the information. I will do some research on the yellow watchman as that fish interests me as well. I have a 75 gallon reef tank which I figured would have had a plenty active pod population, but I then watched a Scooter Blenny waste away over the course of a year - I do not ever...

As long as you buy another false perc you should be fine. I would not recommend mixing types at all. Also, I would not say it is going to be a 100% success that they will get along, but there is a chance...I would just look for one larger than the one that is left in the tank. Depending on how...

I have been considering a sand sifting goby for a while as I not only find them interesting, but would enjoy the benefit of the the sand being cleaned. I am interested in one of the smaller sand sifters (i.e not the diamond goby that gets much larger). I have been thinking about the 2 spot goby...

Were the clowns you had a pair? If so you may want to get one that is larger or smaller than the one you still have as it will save a lot of agression between the two as they determine dominance (i.e. male/female determination).

There is a blue spot dwarf puffer, a neon goby, a pair of percula clowns, and a clown goby in the tank. The puffer I worried would bother it, but it just ignores the CB as it does all the other fish. So I think it is ok as far as not being harrassed. Thanks for all the help.

I added a coral beauty to my 75G FOWLR tank 3 days ago and ever since it has been added it has been acting odd (in my opinion). It spends all day long swimming back and forth as fast as it can from one end of the tank to the other. I owned a coral beauty many years ago that i gave away when...

I will be moving at the end of June and I have a reef tank that has been overcolonized by Red (and a few purple) mushroom corals. There are probably 8-10 good sized pieces of LR with the Mushrooms I would like to get rid of. I will be settign up a new 75G when I move and I was wanting to see if...

I had the exact same situation with a Green Clown Goby I got about 4 months ago. For the first 2 weeks it stayed hidden in the rockwork and I was getting really concerned. It now has probably become one of the most agressive eaters in the tank. As mentioned above it loves flake food above...

Thanks for the info!

I am really interested in going the using the 30 gal as a fuge route. I was originally considering a wet/dry, but this may work out better for me. Anyone have any suggestions on how to set this up. I am planning on getting a predrilled 75 w/overflows installed. Is it as simple as draining the...

Thanks. You know I did not even think of using it as a fuge. Anyone know if a 30 long tank fits well in a 75 gallon stand? I assume it would, but I would hate to get to the point of moving that heavy tank of sand and not having it fit...

I will be moving in about a month and I plan on upgrading my 30 gallon Reef to a 75 gal. My current reef tank is about 7 years old and has had a DSB for about the last 6 years. I am worried about transferring the sand from the current tank into the new one (with new sand added, of course to make...

I am not sure about the life expectancy, but I do have a pair of false percs that are 7 and a half years old and look like they have quite a bit of time left in them.

Yea, it is nice that they divide so quickly, but just watch out when they get close to other corals as they seem to be quite agressive in eliminating things in their path. From what I have learned the red ones I have seem more agressive than the purple/blue ones as they have even overtaken some...

About 2 years ago I was given one of the purple (like you have) and one red mushroom and now they have gotten out of hand in my tank and covered just about every inch of live rock in the tank (while killing the frilly mushrooms in the tank). Keep an eye on them if you do not want them spreading...

I currently have a Dwarf Blue Spotted Puffer in a 30 gal FOWLR set-up. It has lived in there by itself for the last 2 and a half years. I was wondering if I moved it to my 75 gal reef if there would be any issues with the other fish (currently only 2 Perc clownfish, Clown Goby, Scooter Dragonet...
