Hey Nix, I thnk thats a good list. Good move on the 5 chromis (odd number). What else to do you have in the tank? Any corals? Also, do you have the cleaner crew to support it? Here's what i had at one point in my 75g: Hippo Tang Yellow Tang Ocellaris Clown Royal Gramma Lawnmower Blenny Coral...

thats exactly what happened to me. i put it in one day and then never saw it again. i assumed i lost it. then, about 2 weeks later i saw it! it was out all the time. then, one day it had a big whole in it and i realized it was attacked. guess what i think it was?? My coral banded shrimp...

troyrb - its def true that they can be very toxic if they die. basically, if they are injured, stressed, attacked, they can self destruct and turn their insides out. this causes toxic waste to be released into your tank. what dburr is saying is that the more colorful ones are said to maybe be...

I hear that brittles can be nasty - like eat fish and small ornamental crustaceans. and that serpent stars are more easy to keep and wont attack like the brittles. this has never been proven or documented, but pretty clear in all the research i did.

nitrates at 20 - seems high? should be zero?

I'm going back to that method for sure. Thanks

Here's what I've done so far in my two QT attempts: Attempt #1 - mail order livestock. Will NEVER ever do this again since the one was in pretty bad shape when it arrived. Shipping overnight from LA to East Coast can't be good. 1 Solar Wrasse - in bad shape, died within a day. never recovered 1...

Ok, I'm still trying to troubleshoot my new livestock acclimation process which befuddles me. I know this is long, but please read the below b/c I'd like to isolate one particular problem, explain my idiotic actions, share my experience and hopefully get everyone's thoughts on something I've...

Hi, I had one. I'm pretty sure they're not the really poisonous ones. Mine was great but died about a month into it. My tank was fairly new - got him with my original cleaner crew. He was coming out more and more and seemed to be growing even. Then one day, it looked like he had a hole in...

I agree. I had the same problem. Heard it will eventually leach back into your system. It'll even kill snails!

thanks kip. yea, i think someone in this very thread mentioned they kept the forgspawn well under VO. i guess the same point you and other made in reefnuts MH vs PC thread. i know my lightings low. only want a FOWLR for the time being while I keep learning the the budget where it is. but...

reefnut - i think you're saying one coral is under PC and another under MH?

thanks, too, for the super bump kip. i have yet to buy my first coral but this was on my wish list. just read your COTW on Zoos. are these considered beginners in the same arena as the zoos? i also see people say they thrived under NO. I have 110W of PC and 70W of NO.
