oh, if i got a cbs, it would be the only animal in the tank period. no snails, or other inverts. however, i just watched some vids of sexy shrimp on youtube, they look pretty funny and exciting. 3 of those would be fun too. im not going to have any pics until atleast thursday, i set the tank up...

didnt realize my question was reffering to batteries, haha. sexy shrimp tri sounds cool, but i was thinking just one coral branded shrimp, or just one fire shrimp. what do you all think of these options? i will be using the 18w coralife fixture, but i dont think ill be able to have too much...

well i did it. took 3 lbs of liverock from my established 55, aswell as sand and water. i have a 10 gallong hang on back filter, with a heater and thats all. its too small for a skimmer. what about a fuge? what are my options for a tank this small? i was thinking of another small filter, but...

i always thought all the tiny white dots floating through the water were just tiny bubbles from my filter stream. you telling me these are all pods? good god!

if you only want to keep fish, then you dont need anything special for lights. its good to have live rock and live sand, because it helps with your filtration. a lot of people run regular hang on the back filters on tanks around or under 75 gallons. a protein skimmer is good to have for good...

ok i think the gramma has settled down. the 3 of them hang out together on one side of the tank, especially during feeding time too. he is hardy! he eats anything that goes in. its cool, because the clowns eat more since they see him competing for food. he stays in his spot, and i notice the...

dang, 4 days with no replys and i give up. then theres 17 out of nowhere? crazy. id still like some, i have a small amount already in my 55. a few rocks covered in it, but those i bought. ive seen some light blue and green algae in small places here and there, but the tank has been established...

that sucks, they are such little punks. im thinking the more fish i add in, the more they will get the picture that the tank isnt JUST for them.

i bought a royal gramma today, he is about 2 inches long. as soon as i put him in he immediately darted into a cave in the rocks. i put him in during my night cycle, so he would acclimate and settle down better without other fish bothering him. now that the lights are on, my other two clowns...

soo....

anyone with a large amount of coralline on their glass mind scraping a bagfull off and mailing it to me? trying to get it started in my tank, but there really isnt anyone in my area. i read about people with HUGE amounts of coralline on here, always complaining about scraping it. :) anyways...

ok, well what about t5ho? im not too picky about corals i keep in the tank, and im sure there are some nice corals to e had with normal t5ho light yea?

okay not really cheap, but e*bay atleast. i have a 20 long im starting, and i just want to keep some simple corals, anenomes, and the like. im looking at a 65w power compact. have any of you seen all the lights they have? theyre fairly affordable. imo this should work wondrous, right?

tds?

what about those water machines you see outside of grocery stores? they are cheaper than the lfs, the one close to me is 1.50 for 5 gallons whereas the lfs is 1 dollar a gallon for ro/di. i was reading the front of the machine, it says it uses carbon filters aswell as a other filters, (micro...

is it safe to say the one that was attacking me is the female? the other was sitting back watching. and if one of them turned female, they still havent grown for beanz.

so i have two clowns in a 55, and they are paired. i had my hand in there earlier, moving some rock around. when i came cloes to the rock they have been hosting for the past few months, one of them started to attack my hand. the other just stayed close and watched, but only one was furious as...

you know what, im just going to get two sexy shrimp and corals, like you say. what do you mean by stability? ill have one of those small nano filters, and ill have a good amount of liverock too.

good news, the tank i thought was a 1.5, is actually a 2.5! i have a whole nother gallon to work with. so with this new info, is 1 brittle starfish doable? what about a sexy shrimp and a clown goby?
