    Powerhead Placement

    I have 55 gallon and i have one on the left side blowing from the back left to the front right and one on the back right blowing all across the back. I also have one blowing behind all of my rock and I think that is the most important one because it keeps detritus from collecting behind the...

    How do I figure Bio Load

    I have 5 small fish in my tank and I already have several corals, so I was wondering exactly what animals count towards your bio load. Do just fish count or do corals and shrimp and other inverts impact you bio load. I have lots of scavenger animals so I am not worried about over feeding being...

    safest crab?

    If you have algea on your rocks I would get a Lawnmower blenny, the one I had will literally suck the algea off of the rocks and he does a GREAT job. I think they are really great cleaners, but if you get one try and get a small one because they grow decently big and you may want to save room...

    how did you get your mandarin to feed on somthing other than pods

    If you can get one to feed on brine or something else then come by Oklahoma some time and I will buy you a 12-pack because every mandarin I have ever had will not touch anything but pods, and the last one I had I only saw him when I put him in the tank and after that he disapeared neve to be...

    Pistol Shrimp

    I think deveats means a mantis shrimp, not a pistol shrimp. I have been trying to get a pistol shrimp for about the last month so he can pair up with my watchman goby. From what I have heard they are fine to put in a tank, they are capable of making a loud sound with their claw but I have...

    anemone's $70 dinner

    My blue spotted jawfish died last night and before I could get him out he was drifting around dead and the clowfish pushed him in my anemone which proceded to eat him whole. It was stupid to buy him since he was kinda sickly looking, but he was just sooooo cool. I just thought you guys might...

    is this best deal?

    I would go with the deal from your LFS, It cost me a HELLUVA lot more than that to get 50lbs of rock in my tank, and I have heard good things about aquaculture rock. The tonga rock is neat looking and I have heard it is great to top off your tank. I have heard that if you order rock y0ou will...
