parrotchute, i do agree with you, and would not have placed a second tang in the tank. as stated in a previous post, it was not me, but my father who bought that fish without me knowing. while i am new to reef keeping, i've had a lot of experience in keeping fish, and understand the care that...

i gotta slow it down. no more additions for a month! i'm telling you guys so if i post i've added something else after today, scold me!!! this isnt only the size of the tank, but also the emptiness of my wallet... so both the accela pump for the cpr and chaeto for the aquaclear are coming in...

thanks for the responses you guys!! toolman - you could thro the hawkfish in the fuge while the shrimp eat the aipasia, then when theyre done, take them out and give them to me. :mrgreen: aipasia x has been workign really well for me, to let you know. so thats an option too

so i have a bit of a aiptasia problem which aiptasia x is workign on, but every time i look at the tank, i find more i missed. was thinking about adding a peppermint shrimp. i've heard they are hit-or-miss, plus some turn on your corals when they run out of food. also i want a blood red...

thanks biff. cleaned the majanos out and enjoyed every second of it. yote, if i had a FO tank, i dont think i'd mind some majanos on the rocks. or maybe he thought they were zoas like i did when i first got my rock!

hey jake, good luck with the tank. about the clowns, i have black and white ocellaris with a normal ocellaris and they are fine together. BL1 is right. the clown you add should be smaller than the one already established to avoid a fight for dominance.

Biff: thanks. i know they are majanos but havent had the heart to kill it. i plucked/scrapped off all the smaller ones when i got the rock, but left the large ones since they were something to look at. now my mom likes it. would aiptasia x work? i'd just liek to say, i killed off almost...

damn, i played with the idea of getting them for my tank, mainly because i thought they looked nice and the fact they arent a normal run-of-the-mill fish. funny, because every fish distributor i checked online labeled them as very peaceful, pretty much a rare version of the standard green...

as for livestock, here are some pictures. sea cucumber tomini tang frogspawn now i know thw tang police will flame me for the tang, but i made every precaution i could to facilitate the fish. theres minimal rock work in my tank, high flow (2x 750gph koralias), and the tomini tang is...

so it's been a while since i've updated and theres been a couple of additions to the tank. added a cpr bakpak with a rio 600 pump (ebay buy) but the pump casing is cracked and micro bubbles leak into the tank. new accela pump is in the mail. next, i finally got around to converting the...

good luck, and welcome to the hobby. i'm just starting off too and the hobby keeps you on your toes. my main advice is resist impulse buying! almost all my equipment i bought i've found for cheaper some else after a little more shopping. also, do research on everything before you buy. all...

nice stuff. what helped my fish find the algae clip was a couple of drops of garlic extreme. it helped my fish realize it was food. you better not be paying for the seaweed from the petstore. theres dried nori at the hong kong supermarket

what's the best pump for this protein skimmer?

the blue jaw is crazy cheap. but it didnt affect me so much as i saw one at petco for $25 yesterday. had to be priced wrong, some kid probably thinks all triggers are pretty much the same. made me think about picking it up...

damn thats cheap. it sucks the cheapest LFS around my house is petco, if you can call it an LFS. the nearest one that takes care of their fish is a rip off. fire shrimp are $49.99!!! ship me some of those $18 ones they selling
