    Picked up some vitamins/galics. How do you not cloud the water?

    Ok so I got some vitamins that has garlic in it too. The fish are going totally bonkers over it. I also picked up some flake food too.

    Just a question on the clown Trigger

    I am not doing this but was wondering for maybe far FAR down the road if a Clown Trigger could be put in a tank(say 100g) with a lion fish and an eel? I was just thinking if I could ever start a second tank that might be something I'd like to do. Pretty much just those three fish to give them...

    I'm looking into buying some live rock off of someone from online. Can the LR carry anything into my tank? From the pics there looks to be a lot of algea that I'll need to try to scrub off.

    Can I put these fish together

    Ok I know that you can't put different kinds of clowns together but read you can put the same kind of the black and white and orange to white together. I have an oscellaris, going to get another to replace the one that the chromis killed. The IFs has the black and white oscellaris in now too...

    Can't find peppermint shrimp

    Is there a chance that my peppermint shrimp are still alive? About two weeks ago I added 2 to my tank. I saw one hiding the first night and haven't seen them since. Not even a molt. Is it normal for them to hide this long?

    How DO YOU feed your fish?

    I'm really interested in this as there's so much difference in what people do. I'm trying to get a poll here not sure how. The mass here seem to feed once a day where another board the mass feeds 3xs a day. The 3x a day theary seems to be based on fish that are grazers ie:Tangs I'd expect those...

    So the clown died :( Should I worry about the rest? pic

    The clown made it 3 days in the QT. I came home yesterday to find him flipping himself around. I scoop him up in a BIG measuring cup put a little DT water in and hung the cup inside the display tank. Hubby thought maybe the lack of light was the problem but I pretty much knew he was toast...

    Can I feed my star this?

    My red starfish is *suppose* to be an algea eatter and I have seen it eatting algea off the rocks and glass. However one leg is getting shorter then the rest so I figure it's more like a veg and meat eatter. I've tried giving it the froozen brine but all I managed to do is knock it off the glass...

    Two mouths?

    Sorry forgot to ask in last post about this. It looks like the anemone is growing a second mouth, could be wrong but thats what it looks like. Could it be splitting? It moved at the begining of the week too.
