keep an eye on that thing. depending on the type, those things shed branchlets to spread and you could end up with little started colonys all over your tank.

could be some kind of sponge too.

w ith a footprint that small i dont think it will matter. the whole tank is their territory. and the water will push the container around a bit. when the clowns stop bothering it and you think you are safe then give it another day. and move the container around. lots of times they will stop...

go buy yourself one nice piece if live rock. it will steed your cycling up imensilly. also if you can geta cup or 2 of sand from the bottom of am established tank that will help too. probably cut your cycling by half as well as introducing lots of benificial little critters

the coralife skimmers are cheap and they dont work very well. your skimmer is one of the most important pieces of equipment you will buy. get the best you can afford. the coralife turbotwist sterilizers work good though

your tank is very small for 2 clowns each with their own anemone. specially when you have one of the more aggressive bigger clowns which you do. you will have a very hard time getting any other fish in there. also if they dont pair up expect them to start fighting and possibly you will lose...

my personal opinion-dying. crabs usually try to stay hidden when they moult because they are very vulnerable to predators when they are all soft and squishy. and from my own experience with emeralds, they dont like to be out in the open that much specially in the light. but you never know, he...

looks like some kind of polyp. could also be a type of macro algae. does it put out tenticles. if it isn't hurting anything just let it grow and see what happens

go to thr grocery store and buy a basket of tomatoes or fruit or something in one of those plastic mesh baskets. get the one of the bigger ones. makes a great fish cage thats really cheap and gets lots of water circulation. secure it to something sticking out of the water with a zip tie so it...

i feed my tank 3 or 4 times a day when ever i think of it, every fourth day none,[at work for 36 hrs] and once or twice a wk at nite with coral food. fish are fat and sassy and the corals are growing

wow, those are nice

i wouldnt think you could over skim with a hang on. either way a little too much is better then not enough

so after selling my house, and moving my 265 gal tank,major crash of my tank and the case of the ick attack from hell, i am back on track. just did my last fish and coral shop. kept my sterilizer running and i am not seeing any ick any more the new fish and corals are doing well. i am going to...

its good that you can find a place a for live food all the time. you might also want to think about putting a refugium on your tank. this will help immensely with keeping your mandarin well fed. you stock it with some rubble and some cheato and it will help with your water quality too. just put...

that is a nice looking tank, but i dont think its big enough for a mandarin to find enough food. what are you feeding him.

should not be a problem. the sand sifters do not bond with the shrimps. i put 2 shrimps in my tank. one at each end. one with a blackfin{cryptocentrus pavoninoides} and the other with a yellow watchman{cryptocentrus cinctus}. well the shrimps paired and now the 2 gobys live together with the...

if its 90 lbs dry weight you can add 25 lbs water weight. funny- i have never heard my pistols clicking and i see them all the time. once you find out, if it turns out to be a pistol shrimp try putting a shrimp goby in there. if it bonds to the guy in the rocks then you will have an...

strange looking spot. i dont think you can do anything about it. if he is eatting i am thinking you will just have to take a watch and wait aproach. is possible he has some kind of internal parasite but i would think you would see it on both sides of fish. those guys arnt exactly thick bodied.

a kole tang[bristletooth with yellow circle around the eye] is great for that. of all the tangs i have had the bristletooths are the best for keeping the rocks clean. they never stop scraping them. as for your clicking- if its a pistol shrimp buy him a shrimp goby. very interesting relationship...

i nlike your rock structure. as far as your snails and crabs go. i killed a few inverts and more then a few snails before i learned to take my time- as in hrs. when you get them measure the salinity in the water they came in. the more off from yours the slower you go. they just cant adjust to...
