good luck. it will be my turn in about 3 months. i am getting a plumbed 400 gal that i am setting up as a walk around. using it for a room divider. am going to put discus in my 265 gal. i am really looking forward to the new tank, just not the teardown of the old.

no, you have to worry about that beauty too. he probably wont bother anything else but he will sure bother the new angel. he will probably kill it if you dont use a cage first.

no but i had to tear my tank down to catch a striated bristle tooth that went rogue. had to take every thing out. ROTTEN BASTARD. took me 3 days. do the cage thing for your flame to get him in there. and give it a day or two longer than you think is safe just to be safe. move your cage...

also watch how narrow your tall thin fishs are - ie. tang cause they could swim right through your overflow slots, you might want to cover them with mesh for a bit. good luck. i am moving into a bigger house this month and getting a bigger tank with overflows so i will be doing the same thing...

you want to get that out if its a real fire worm. they are preditory. ps, if you grab a regular bristle worm it hurts

a clear plastic beverage jug works great. just put some mesh on the top for a lid and put your fish in there. everyone can see him, but he cant get hurt, and its easy to move around the tank. best part- its cheap. one i have had a 4 inch cap with a flip top. was about 15$. i just took the...

i have a flame, a coral beauty, and an eibl's angel and they dont bother each other. been about a year now. i would take you gang of 3 out, separate them if you can,wait a week or two, add the new fish, give them a day or two the put the 3some back in. if you are concerned then use an...

i have 2 in a 265 gal with probably 250-300 lbs rock and a 24 inch hang on refugium just for pods. they never stop looking for pods. even at nite sometimes. and they are fat. the female was eating fish food in the store but i have never seen her eat it in my tank. once she started getting...

believe it or not the bigger tanks are easier to look after. they are much more stable as far as water conditions are concerned. your livestock is a lot less stressed when they have room to swim and get away from each other. watch for second hand stuff. lots of time you can get really good...

sweetheart, she gets to watch you do that and she gets to clean up the mess so yah she would find it funny. most women that have a man would.

where is nh. is that new hampshire

yup, thats spawn alright. wait until your whole tank does that. looks like you dumped a gallon of milk in there. i have hade a dozen or so mass bristleworm spawns and i dont worry about it. the corals and the filter and the skimmer clean it up, plus any of your fish that eat little critters...

i agree, i have a couple sand sifter gobies and they dont take any crap from the hermits.

take the cup out of the water and suspend it upside down over the tank just high enough that the nem is out of the water. he will stretch down to get back in and let go. just let the tips of the tenticles touch the water. worked for me. might take an hour or two though. got this tip from a...

speaking from experience as i have had 2 tank crashes, lessons learned means each time this happens [hopefully never again] your tank will be better and more functional

once you get your system running the way you want it with a good compatable mix of stock then you are not going to want to take a chance on placing stuff in there thats questionable, also once you have some coin invested you are not going to want to take chances with that either. easiest way...

i use a 29 gal with a few pieces pvc, bare bottom and an aquaclear for filtration. i leave it running all the time. if its empty of livestock then i turn off the lights and heat. if i quarantine a fish [minimum 4 wks] that developes ick then i do hypo salinity and run a uv sterilizer on it...

spawn, buddy, spawn. wait until you have bristle worms do that. its like someone poured a gallon of milk in your tank.

my tank frame is just decoration. custom order and they asked me if i wanted framing on it.

they do eat some of the microscopic life in your tank but the stuff they eat is specialized. if they dont rely on the sun for food then they clean the water constantly for food which does a lot for the water quality. i would leave them in if they are not showing signs of stress. you will...
