unfortunately I didnt get the maroon out in time. I thought I got him out with minimal damage but about 24 hours after putting him a 5gal by himself his tail completely disappeared (I have no idea what happened to the tail. When I moved him you could tell it had been nipped at but he still had...

thanks ogredawg. I have a small maroon clown currently in the 5gal and he seems to be happy but hes not been in it long. I was hoping to put him in the 20 with a couple of damsels maybe. I was told that the maroon was too aggressive to put other fish with him but he is the one that gets beat...

Yes I know that is a bit redundant but up until now by smallest tank has been a 20gl long. I have a 5 gal that is ready for fish and I have a cinnamon clown that is too aggressive for the 20g. (please dont yell at me I think I know the answer already but I need to ask anyway) Is he too big to...

Is it maybe a royal gramma or some type of blenny?? I dont know much about them so cant help with your 5 gal. but thought maybe I could help i.d the fish

I will definitely keep the wrasse in mind. Right now my cinnamon clown wont allow anyone else in the tank. Its a one fish tank until I get something larger than 20g so I guess the bristle worms can eat away. Thanks for all the help

I didnt restart my entire tank I just cleaned off the rock and did a small water change. All my levels are good and the fish seem to be happy as can be. The only reason I was worried about the worms is that they are multiplying so quickly they seem to be everywhere. I guess if they arent...

This is a bristle worm is it not??? Sorry its a bit blurry How do I get rid of them. When I did a partial water change today I took all the rocks out. (luckily I dont have many of them) I rinsed them well in fresh water and picked out all the worms I could find. I tried to clean all of them...

Here in Michigan its been extremely hot as well. My thermometer goes to 86 and its not even registering its so hot. I did a water change today and used cooler water to refill the tank. Thanks for the idea about freezing bottles of water Im going to try that. I have only 1 maroon clown in my...

thanks for the tips. I sure wish the LFS would hire more competent people. There is the owner and 1 employee that actually know what they are talking about when it comes to saltwater aquariums. I took a chance and listened to an employee ive never seen there before. Originally I had a yellow...

So what would be safe to put with a Maroon? I currently only have a 20gal long tank and the only fish in it is a maroon clown I got 2-3 weeks ago. I want to put more fish in there but am not sure what would be ok

I currently have a Magnum 350 Canister on my 20 gallon long tank. I know that may be overkill but it was all I had when my original filter system went out. I dont have much live rock, 10-20lbs max. The magnum I have is probably close to 10 years old and is a real hassle to clean and deal...

Now that would be something. We dont have nearly enough room for something that large but I could live with a smaller desk and we could put the filing cabinets in the hallway!:D

thats kind of what I was afraid of. I dont want to have to take it back and forth all the time. Im hear alot of holidays but not saturday and sundays. I guess maybe I will just have to find a neat tropical although I dont like them nearly as much as saltwater. I have to out do my co workers...

I want to set up a small tank in my office and was wondering if its possible to set up a saltwater tank in one of the small 2-5 gallon desktop aquariums. If I only put 1 small fish in it or an invert such as a sea fan or crab or something. Would it work or would it be too much work

Nevermind I answered my own question. And for any of you who might be curious in the future... Yes filefish may eat feather dusters as well as other sessile inverts. They are definitely not reef safe. Luckily I figured this out before he killed the duster and the lfs I purchased him from took...

I just added a Hawiian feather duster to my tank today. The lady at the lfs said none of my fish would bother it but my filefish has started picking at the soft end (opposite the feathers). Will this kill the duster or is it just dead skin sort of as he grows.

thanks for the info. I did put some food in. cant remember exactly what its called but its a green liquid you dump right into the tank. My boyfriend teases me because every morning and everynight when I get home from work I go straight to the tank and sit there watching to see if he looks ok...

Well so far my scooter is doing quite well although I havent even had him for a full week yet. He seems to be happy. I have seen him eat flake food that has fallen to the bottom as well as frozen shrimp and squid and my copepods seem to be reproducing quite well and of course I think that will...

Thanks reef fool. There are still no signs of life in him but I am leaving him alone and will see what happens. I think I still might buy a couple more cause there kind of cool

Katara Thanks for the info. The lfs I visit doesnt even have a mandarin in at the moment I just think they are cool looking fish. As for the lr I know I dont have near enough in my tank. I am just in the process of switch from FO to reef and with the price of lr i can only do a little at a time
