Every snowflake moray I have ever has been extremely gentle, on the flipside, every snowflake moray I have ever had has escaped my tank and taken "the long walk" around my aquarium. Keep EVERY portion of your aquarium covered! I cannot stress that enough. Moray's are messy eaters, as you will...

tooth, It is my honest opinion that any type of shark is better suited to a species only. Meaning, you should NOT keep any other type of fish with them. At least not in captivity. Think about it, sharks are pretty much at the top of the food chain in the ocean... and EVERY shark I have seen has...

Perhaps I missed this... but I must ask you. Did you buy your clown and humahuma as juviniles, or did you add them at different stages of their life? If not, then that could be part of your problem. I'm converting my 75gl reef to a 2 specimen aggressive tank. I'm going for the clown trigger and...

I cant offer an explanation for the death of the leathers... but perhaps the reason for the shrooms failing to thrive is that maybe you had too many different types of shrooms in the tank. I have heard that certaint types of soft corals will exclude territorial chemicals... or something like...

I have a friend whose parents have a 300gl aggressive tank at their doctors office. They have a trigger, a lion, a puffer, 2 eels, and a tuskfish. I know that everytime I've been there the tuskfish has always been kinda the "sore thumb" of the bunch... I just dont think it looks like it should...

Sounds good to me... although, I would highly advise against any more fish than that. I know that I could house 2 aggressive fish in my 75gl... so you should be fine with the three in your 92. Do your homework on the fish...b/c the tuskfish and puffer may be a little too boisterious for the lion...

I've noticed the same as tetra. I have green coralline algae on my glass, as well... it doesent come off with my magnetic glass scraper.

I was staring at my reef this evening when I wondered if my green bubble coral would "spread" if I placed it up against a rock... Anyone have any ideas as to whether it would?

<---- High fives sammy.

I simply mix the kalk and the water as everyone has directed... yet I use a turkey baster *however it is spelled* and insert it in the middle of the jug and viola... You have a nice dose of kalkwasser. Then i just hang the baster over the sump, and physics does the rest. :)

I wouldent put the lawnmower blenny in there with the niger... triggerfish, though sometimes unaggressive, are often very active and boistrous. Lawnmower blennies prefer more peaceful companions... if your tank was huge, say 125+ it might work, but since I doubt yours is, I would stick to one or...

You learn something new every day :)

I picked up on it, rblehm. That is why I said he should only have one type of dragonette, and that is also why I said he should scrap the neon gobies. Although I never knew that they fed on copepods. To answer you though, copepods are the little white things you will see scurrying around the...

It is about that time. First you should check your specs... ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite. And since you're setting up a reef tank, it would not be a bad time to check phosphates. Also, you should now start a type of calcium supplement. I recommend Kalkwasser and any sort of concentrated liquid...

Mandarins are ideal for reef tanks. At least all that I've read has told me so. As long as your tank is well established and has an abundant population of copepods, they will normally do well. What I meant is to add the flame angelfish and the two clownfish one after the other... b/c the odds of...

That sounds like it 'should' work. The only problem I see is that you seem to want more than 1 of each kind of fish in your tank. What I would do, is scrap the 2 scooter blennies and go with 1. Also, the neon gobies, in my opinion are best suited for a smaller tank. In a fairly large reef tank...

The 40 crabs they are referring to are VERY small little buggers. I thought the same thing, until I saw them. Zack

There is this service station in town that has 3 saltwater tanks that have been established for years now... the guy who runs the place swears on his life that the flourescent bulbs he uses work like magic... of course he uses 6-8 like you are thinking...and he has only beginner corals. But...

I have a setup very similar to yours, except that mine doesent have as much live rock. I have appx. 75lbs in my 75gl. You seem to be in good shape, people say that you shouldent put 2 tangs in there... and for the most part they are right, you certainly could have 2... but there will be...

Mechanical filtration takes "garbage" out of your system. So in my opinion, can you have too much mechanical filtration? No... just be careful that the canister filter you're using doesent become a nitrate factory. To avoid that, just clean it about once a month. As far as the carbon goes... I...
