What is the biggest royal gramma you guys have seen? I picked one up a few weeks ago that is 4" or so and I am beginning to think he is a terror. Since adding him I have found 2 chromis and a peppermint shrimp on the carpet....and I assuming the only reason they would end up there is because...

My buddy has been worrying me to death about helping him setup an aggressive tank. Well he called last night and told me he bought a 65G Tall setup with all the goodies. Now he's asking me for advice on a stocklist and while I have pretty good idea what works and what doesn't I still want some...

I have learned so much in this hobby over the last 4 months and I have finally come to the conclusion that something is always going to happen. I admittedly came on here after buying way too many fish at the beginning (and was bashed for it) but corrected my wrong doing the best I could and went...

Does anyone have 2 Hawkfish in one tank? If so how big and have you had any problems?

I know lots of us on here use RO/DI units but after getting a TDS meter yesterday I have a few questions. I know everyones TDS values will differ from region to region but what are you guys seeing before you run your water through your RO/DI systems? What would you consider low TDS? Is there a...

Leave a fish in QT that is eating very well and displaying no signs of stress/sickness? I know 4-6 weeks is ideal but here's why I ask. I ordered a fish at 2-3 inch size and he came at 6". Right now he is in a smaller QT doing well and I want to move him to my DT as soon as possible just to give...

Has anyone here kept a school of chromis long term? I just read a discussion on another site and lots of the older members were saying after awhile an alpha male will slowly start taking out the group and you will end up with only 1 chromis. Who has experience with this happening or not...

I was going to get the BH-2000 but since they were on backorder I ended up getting the HB-800S with the Sicce pump. Now here are my questions...Stanlalee and others please chime in because I remmeber some of you guys talking about this specific skimmer ahile back but I couldn't find it. After I...

Has anyone else had this problem? I have been feeding a few of my fish in a 20G QT tank some ocean nutrition pellets (because it is the only thing I can get them to eat) and it is the only tank I have that is cloudy. I have done nothing different in this tank than I have in my other 2 smaller QT...

Well I've come to the conclusion I have a small pistol shrimp in my tank. With the amount of live rock I have it would have been pretty easy for him to welcome himself to the tank. Well over a month ago when I was pulling out and moving the rock around to catch all my fish to do a hypo treatment...

Ok guys I want some input on a CUC for my 72G tank. It's a FOWLR tank and I do not want ANY crabs. I have already come to the conclusion they are headaches. So what would an ideal CUC be for a 72G tank with a high bioload? Right now I have 15 large Mexican turbos and I just ordered 30 small...

When I intitially bought this guy over 2 months ago he was listed at the LFS as a sifter like the diamond goby. Of course I was disappointed when I got him home and he didn't do any sifting...Well he has slowly started sifting over the past few weeks and now when he is out of his burrow he sifts...

Are PC's considered VHO lights? Are T5's? Are they a special light of their own? I can't seem to find a clear answer on this...

Does anybody have any reviews/own/use one of these? I am getting ready to setup another tank (90G) and am looking to buy a HOB Skimmer for it. I have searched all over the place and the few reviews I found concerning this skimmer seem to be good. Most threads I find are referring to the smaller...

The reason I ask is I had one for awhile and even when I bought it the anemone was a faded dull white and it remained like that for the time I had it. I saw a few in a LFS's tank the other day that were BRIGHT white with purple tips on the tentacles. They were about half the size of the one I...

Well after having my tank setup for months and never really seeing any hitchhikers (I was actually kinda bummed about it) I went home this morning to do tank maintenance I found a completely different tank...I was beyond excited. I had a bunch (probably 20 visible or so) of these large earthworm...

Has anybody kept 2 basslets without any problems? It says on here to only keep one basslet per tank but I would love to have a royal gramma and a blackcap basslet if possible. Is this feasible? Someone with some experience please chime in. Bear in mind I have 150+ lbs of LR in my 72G so there...

So today I go check on my tank and my water is 83.0 AGAIN and the heater is on and running wide open...This is the 2nd time this has happened in about 2 months... My water stays at about 76 with no heater and a little warmer when the lights are on. Both heaters have been 300 watt models. The 1st...

Ok so here we go... So after selling/trading/giving away some stock, having a bad ick outbreak in my tank, buying some bad stock and not using RO water which caused a few deaths I am going to restock here soon. I am MUCH wiser now and feel pretty confident I have learned pretty much what I need...

How long is it before you usually see all the ick cysts go away? While I am VERY happy that I have recued my BH Tang (and feel quite accomplished ) she still has a few ick spots on her after 6 days in hypo. Is this normal?
