Ummm... since when does the dotty get aggressive towards a royal? My royal is hiding in some rocks... trying to feed her but my purple dotty back is making sure she stays in the rocks...:frustrat: and every time she comes out a little my dotty back keeps chasing her back into the rocks... any...

and the Royal Gramma is in.... :x: Also, I found out today that my return sponge didn't come with my Bak Pak so I picked up a couple of those and wow how that made a difference in noise and bubbles... :shock: No q-tips available... :mrgreen:

Can I count the powerhead that's connected to my Bak Pak as "flow" in my tank?

I think it's algea on the inside of my tank. It looks to be on both sides but not on the back or front of the tank. My snails haven't been touching it. These two spots seem to have gotten bigger ever since I put my Bak Pak protein skimmer on. Could my this be some sort of new cycle my tank is...

Just got it and installed on my tank.... :^: I take it this skimmer can take place of my other filter? This thing really is kicking out the flow. And my water is crystal clear. :shock: What do you think about this for my 29 gallon tank? I seem to like it.:D

Well, the bio cube surface skimmer that's in my regular tank maybe in need of some help that comes in the nano cube tanks. Remember I don't have a nano cube tank, just a regular 29 gallon tank. That's all I have along with an Aqueon filter in my regular tank. The reason I say it may be in need...

Just put the required amount in last night to my tank and seems to be helping. Man, is that stuff expensive! :shock:

Well, what can I say.... I'm shocked.:shock: This coming early spring will mark the one year anniversary of starting my tank. In that time I have kept my fish alive with the exception of my six line. I replaced him with a purple dottyback and she seems to be doing just fine. My clowns are doing...

Well, I thought I was in danger of the red slime algae that can take over your tank when I saw some red growing on the front of my tank right where it meets the sand. I reached down to feel how it felt and all I got was a gritty feeling. I'm hoping this is a good thing?

I've had a peppermint shrimp for some time now and I'm wondering if he's going to kill any of my fish? He seems to pick on my purple dottyback when he gets the chance. Should I get rid of him?

a purple dottyback tonight. Acclimation is going well. Just started the process. Any tips on what I should look for? Thank god for the living reefs forum. What would I do with out my my reef freaks!?:mrgreen: Let me know, and btw no q-tips are no where to be found in my house. :D

picked up a 10 lb bag and I'm adding it slowly with a disposable drinking water bottle. Is this right to add the fine sand on top of the other live sand I've got in there?

I have one mushroom and was wondering if this guy will grow on me? He seems to be doing great!

on my live rock. What is it? They seem to be a bit smaller than a macoroni noodle. You guys have any idea what this could be?

I'm starting to see it on the spout of my Maxijet. There's also some brown on it also. I imagine this is a good thing because of it growing and it's all part of the seasoning process? I saw some purple dots too on the left hand side of the tank. Let me know.

I've noticed that when I do a water change and my salt gets mixed in, it will have these white particals in it. Bad or good? No it's not salt that's not dissolved. Using Instant Ocean.

I have to say thanks for all the help guys. As I learn from my mistakes as a rookie you guys really help me out. 2 months and counting for my clowns now! It seems to be whenever I have a question you guys really know your stuff not that I doubted you but I thought I'd pass along the confidence...

I just can't wait to put something else into my tank but I know I can't because of what happened with my sixline... I know I said I wouldn't be adding anything more to the tank but do think when the time is here maybe adding a royal gramma? In advance can you tell me if these guys swim up holes...

no it didn't happen. Just wondering what you do if yours crashes? Do you replace every single thing in there?

Just put one of these guys in the tank. What do I need to look for in these guys? He seems to hang at the bottom on the sand. Not sure if this is normal or not. My lfs told me to watch him and don't let him fool ya because they like to play dead on the bottom at first. Got him some mysis shrimp...
