i have lots of the little feather dusters that grow on the rocks themselves and they seem to do ok. but the big ones dont get enough food. same with the sponges. the ones that grow on their own do fine. ones i have bought. no. i dont know. something is not right in my tank for them. the food...

i figured with that big i could to. nope. i tried several times and they just slowly faded away. i like my stock to thrive so i stopped trying. i think maybe if my tank was dirtyer maybe they would do better but then other things suffer, so i dont get them anymore

good for you, i have done the same thing. when you know you cant take care of something and you buy it anyways just to watch it die is wrong. wrong and stupid. i know thats how we figure out how to look after some of creatures but killing something just to learn is not humane. i want my...

whats this hitchhickers guide you are talking about? an if its a book where do i get one? thanks

i cant seem to grow algae on any thing but the glass. my tangs never stop cleaning the rocks. and believe me they are not starving. i've even tried to add rocks with several different kinds growing on it. no go. gobble gobble.

there is a nice article on fang blennies on the advanced aquarist site. take a look

that little guy is really cute. hope he doesnt turn out to be bad

you need to age your tank for a while before you get sponges. they are filter feeders and require a huge amount of the right size food to do well. also they absolutely can not be exposed to air at any time. they have to be bagged under water and taken out of the bag and placed in your tank under...

i think you are going to lose everything you put in there. why dont you start a small species tank just for him

makes a big difference how you put them in there. if you just drop them in there is going to be a lot of fighting. if you use an acclimation container of some kind and let the other fish get used to him first it makes a big difference. i have a yellow, a hippo, a foxface, a desjardinii, and a...

bell bottoms extra long

i clean my glass every 3-4 days, gets a light film of green-brown slime. this is normal, if you have enough light for corals then you have enough light for algae. feeding your fish isn't the problem unless you are feeding way to much. its the waste coming from the fish that is more the issue...

i agree, your fish put waste in the water, not everything shows up in the tests. changing the water is like giving them fresh air. if you changing the water regularly. ie. every wk- every two wks, then you might find your eel is eating a lot better. you should be changing at least 10 % a time...

my light is set up oposite to the tank. tank lights start to dim at 10pm, out at 11pm, fuge comes on at midnite, til about 6 am, tank starts to come on again around 10am. i only lite the fuge for about 5-6 hrs a nite but i have good natual lite in the room. my fuges main purpose is for podes...

thats what i have. pump puts water into the refuge and it runs through the material and drains back into the tank. i also have about 250 lbs live rock in the tank. my fuge is 24" long and there is tons of copodes in there. i have 2 dragonettes a secrative possume wrasse and a starry dragonette...

fuge is a great food supply. cranks out tons of copodes for your main tank. if you want to keep dragonettes or secretive possum wrasses it can literally make the difference between life and death

thats in a good way, right

thats a hell of a pix you got for your identity card, greenman. she is definatly a keeper. beautiful little girl

try offering him small pieces of scallop. and a bigger tank. my son had one and he loved the stuff. if he feels stressed from overcrowding or has to much compatition for food then he isnt going to come out and feed. also snowflakes get to be 3 ft. as he gets bigger everything in there except...

i bought it. 24 in. covers one whole end of my tank. filter and skimmer at other end. i have some sand with a bit of miracle mud in there plus rubble and bunch of cheato. i have 3 dragonettes plus a possum wrasse and it is a copode factory for them. plus i think it helps with phosphate. sorry...
