    DSB questions, including how quickly should you thicken a sandbed up to make it DSB?

    HairTrigger: Did you ever make the change to DSB? Did you utilize Bang's "mixing in some flake food" method? How long did you leave the mix in the bucket? How did it go? Hoe deep is your DSB now? Also: Did you take out all the CC or did you just put the CC on top of the DSB? I want to...

    Has your cleaner shrimp ever laid eggs?

    Mine had all these eggs underneath her and continued to move them and organize the every few minutes. But I did not see her lay eggs. What happened to the eggs? Got eaten by the rest of the fish? Also she does not have a mate. Don’t shrimps need a partner to produce eggs?

    antisocial shrimp

    fish type question

    I attest to the mean Domino Damsel fact. Mine killed a yellow tail damsel that I just added. I am afraid I will have to yank the little beast if I would like to keep anything else that is.

    fish type question

    My Poor attempt at understanding the question has resulted in this responce: I would start with a couple of damsels, a clown and a cleaner shrimp, few snails, and few crabs. Although your tank should look full, you should also make sure your fish are happy. And if you crowd them, they will not...

    what is a good coral for beginners?

    Wrasse: You’re right. The pink tip I was describing IS the Condy. How do you feed the corals? What about other additives hat they need? Would I have to monitor my water more carefully? And do more water changes? I heard some of them are really sensitive. Is that true? How fast do they grow...

    Starting first new saltwater tank -shaking

    doni: i agree with the other guys.. you gotta do a lot of research. your tank is about 130 gallons, and that is about 1200 lbs of water alone. you have to use thick strong glass.. also, you have to make sure that your wall can support that kind of weight..
