all great replies, thanks a bunch!! I can't wait to get started, I didn't want to put something in the tank that would harm the fish later.

I'll check it out. thanks

When I started my tank it came with a skmmer and the instructions said not to run it until the tank had cycled.

I know my hammer is most unhappy!! Looks like I will try and get a BTA. Thanks.

I got a used tank for free, needed alot of cleaning, but as I remove the gunk from the inside I have a lot of fine scratches and swirl marks, I have put in a lot of work cleaning this thing up and now I'm not wanting to use it due to all the scratches. any advise?

before and after pics.

my nano is a 28 G, the clowns are in love with the hammer they wiggle through it, have dug a hole in the sand below one of the branches and sleep in it's branches at night. But my hammer is not in love with them, it has gone to about 30% of what it was in about 3 mo. my blenny has a rock with...

My clown fish are killing my hammer coral. I didn't want an anemone because I have a nano tank, and they can move, I also have other fish I don't want it to eat. SWF says a BTA is "reef safe" does this mean it will not eat my blenny or sixline? any thoughts suggestions welcome.

I tried to inject and they just shrank up in the rock, I even tried putting putty over the hole it came out of and it still found a way out. so I got a pep. shrimp and two days later gone

I know you didn't say they were a prob. there was just another comment about them getting to have large numbers. I would rather not remove anything from my tank unless it has to be done to save another life. if it's not a prob I just figure it's part of the miracle of the whole underwater life...

interesting, good to know. thank you. will anything eat them? or do they just become a problem?

same here for *****/smart! went to get something for my dog wound up looking at the swf and was horrified at the condition of the fish. The sad part is they had really nice fish, foxface, clowns, puffer,coral beauty...but everyone had some kind of disease at least one in every tank. you could...
