Ditto SR, I also recommend the Tiger Tail Cuck.

Sorry to be the one to say it but yellowing of this coral is an indication of Die off.:( Not neccessarly your fault Xenia some times does this. What is your SG, PH and Alk levels look like? These are all important factors with Xenia.

I am with nolofinwe on this. they store what they eat and discard the rest, I would say this would be a risk. JMO

I also Ride The Fence on this one. I have Run two skimmerless tanks and 3 skimmed tanks. My oldest tank is 2.5 years old and has been skimmerless from day one. I see no real diffrence in these tanks. one is healthy as the other. HTH

This is probably one of the hardiest corals to keep to date. the Mortality rate is above 98%. Most aquarist are unsuccessfull. Most starve in our tanks for lack of proper enviroment. these corals come from murky, nutrient rich waters. Over skimming has been suggested as a problem, meaning most...

Hi Deuce, long time no hear from, any way Most gobies are reef safe as stated but most are No DSB safe, most all will eat sand bed infuna till they are. The fire fish is one of the few exceptions, But are these really concidered a goby?? Not sue I really never did any research on them. But if...

Max, and corcea clams are found on the rock's in Nature, Squamosa and Dereasa, are found on the sand floor in nature. I also keep the Hipopus Hipopus clam and they also are found on the sand floor in nature. I do how ever have a few Max on the sand but I place a rock under them so they have...

#1 what is your lighting? and how far is the light traveling to the Macro's? I do not do this but if you add a little Iron supplement the Macro will go crazy. Also are you prunning the macro's on a regular basis? this is important not only for growth but nutrient export. Please explain used up...

The feather duster's and cbs should be fine. Go for it.

Originally posted by chrisareston Thanks for the help! You say super glue or use epoxy for coral and anemones, plants etc? Or just coral? Do I need to take out the rock that I will be gluing them to out then glue them and replace the rock in the aquarium? Should I put the coral in with rock and...

Originally posted by cyberfins Now that you mentioned it what alternate source for nutrient removal would you use if you don't use a skimmer? Also what is the best way to filter, a power filter, a canister, what? I've decided not to use the 30 gal., but to get a 50 gal. I think I will be much...

Originally posted by chrisareston I am thinking of setting up a 30 gal salt water aquarium. I found A set up that comes with the tank, hood, chemicals, heater, salt, book and H2O tester for cheap at my local pet store. I plan on putting live rock, and LS. I found some LS at ***** that is in a...

Originally posted by jayster I would also appreciate additional response to cyberfin's inquiry. I too an a brand new sw fan. I started with a 28 gal bowfront, 20lbs live rock. 15lbs of gravel and canister filter. 100watt heater and a protien skimmer on the way. Three yellowtail blue damsels and...

Yep it is a good sign that the DSB is processing the nitrates. Glad to here it is coming along.

Yep He molted. This is natural. You will see this happen around the new moon during lunar cycle. HTH

Think no less than 5 gals of tank for 1" of fish some will go as far as 10 gal vs 1" of fish depending on who you talk to. IMO The 30 gal is not suited for a tang. IMO a tang should be kept in a tank no less than 4' but most tang's I suggest 6' of tank, They need lots of swimming room. and a...

Well when getting into SW from FW. My advice is to not confuse the two. they run nothing a like. Cheap and SW don't mix. You will have to spend more time with your SW tank then you would 10 FW. I have done both many years. I too thought how hard can it be I've been doing FW 20 years and boy was...

Here is some thoughts on lighting. Maybe this will help. I have more links to this very debated subject. But I have been ask by the administrators here not to post links to other sites. So if you would like more info e-mail me at: robert@reefaquariumguide.com and I will give you some good links...

OK I have kept a SH ranch. and most exp. sh keepers will tell you the 65 is to big. as stated above SH's are poor swimmers they loose intrest if they have to chase food for ever. The 10 gal would be suited for the dwarf species. The important thing for a sh tank is not volume. it's height. SH...
