disolve it I have a maroon clown that will grab any big chunk of food and take it straight into his RBTA (which just split!!!!). this means if i dont break it up nobody but the clown and her home gets fed. so, i disolve a cube or two in some tank water along with DTs and then squirt the...

I have a monster infamous green brittle star.. started out about 5" when i got it 18 months ago .. now it's easily 12"-14". Its a hoot to watch it come out from under the rock at full speed at feeding time. It eats anything i put in there including pulling food out my BTAs tentacles. Touch...

Thanks Hey Curtswearing - Actually I did NOT lose my fish. I was able to save it by opening up the mushroom and letting the fish escape. I fed the mushroom some krill in its place :D. Thanks for the good information. For some reason my dusky wrasse is the only fish interested in this...

Hi All - Something amazing happened last night in my reef. While I was the other room working on something my girlfriend says from the living room.. "Hey whats wrong with the elephant ear.. its beating... that just the current? And by the way where's your wrasse?" I came out to look and...

bump -- anyone?

Hey everyone - I just got my shipment of 8 15"-24" mangroves from http://www.nova.edu/ocean/aqua/mangroves/. They came packaged a long fedex box, wrapped in garbage bags and wet paper towell. Each plant has about 10-15 leaves and well developped roots. I followed the basic directions...

HAHA.. already have a "Nemo" tho... You read my mind about the fairy wrasse. I was thinking something exactly along those lines. I have a dusky wrasse right now that I really love. Some amazing colors that change under different lights and a lot of fun watch. Thanks everyone;

resolution I ended up taking all the fish back. Cathing the 3 fish was surprisingly easy.. thank God I didn't have take down the reef. The owner was very apologetic and couldn't beleive one of his employees would do that. I now have a nice little credit at the store. I figured what...

I dont mind restocking hermits and snails. I just don't want anyone eat my cleaner shrimp. Typically I've read this can be ok as long as the shrimp is there first (which is the case). I definately will not tolerate anyone muching my corals. Agreed about friends giving gift certifcates...

Hi All - Tomorrow is my birthday and last night my best friends surprised me with some new fish for my 60 gal reef tank. 5 of them!! 1. 4" Dragon Wrasse 2. 3" Singapore Dwarf Angel 3. 1" Blue Dot puffer (I think I've ID'd it correctly) 4. 3" Niger Trigger 5. 5" HumuHumu Trigger...

i wonder how much light kelp really would require.. remember it thrives in the "murky" waters of california. it attaches itself at pretty respectable depths where not much light penetrates (relative to the coral reefs). i don't know for sure but I'm guessing kelp doesn't need nearly as much...

cool. how big is it? does he have kelp in it? the long beach aquarium out here has a HUGE tank with black sea bass and giant running from floor to cieling and it is amazing... obviously not thinking something that but you get the idea.

Anyone ever see or think of doing a coldwater reef like what we have out in california? I was thinking it would be cool and unique to try a tank with kelp, some indiginous crabs, small kelp bass, catalina gobies, anemonies, etc..?? How cold would you need to keep it? The water around here is...

thanks for all the help. i have been looking at the watts/gph ratio and heres what i found my sedra1200 = 120 watts/1200GPH... which hurts.. thats very large heater in my sump. quietone 3000 = 40 watts/780GPH@0' & ~580@4' (ratio ~ 1/20!) mag 7 = 70 watts/700GPH@0' & ~480GPH@4' (ratio =...

external I wish I could go external.. but I can't because I just dont have the room. Also when they are external they are so loud. What about the QuietOne?

so my pump died (again) last night at 3am. I was able to get it working again but not without some serious tinkering. i don't trust it anymore though -- so its time for a new one, or two. the pump is Sen1200 with 3/4" output being split to 2 3/4" returns. i have two complaints aside from...

thanks guys its extremely frustrating that trying to better my tank caused such havoc among some of my favorite pieces. i think in the long run the move will pay off big time. ill post another thread later this week with some pics of the new aquascaping. im relieved to hear that your...

Some of you remember a while back I had some problems with my Anemone moving to the back of the tank.. well last weeked I decided I would use this as an excuse to redo all the aquascaping my tank (I wanted to do it anyways). I created a great spot with similar conditions for my Anemone and its...

angel i see a BIG angel fish in there on the right.. how is he keeping that with the corals??

great thread thanks thanks rob, this is great information. will this same method work on mushrooms? i have tried to peel them off with my fingers and only succeeded in destroying the poor thing.. i have since given up on fraggin these things. I have seen tanks where shrooms/zos cover the...
