    Snowflake eel???

    We only have pink algae and everything reads perfectly fine on our tests. We never even had spikes of anything when our tank cycled. It's been up and running for at least six months, maybe longer...to be honest it practically runs itself. We still monitor it closely, but we barely have to do...

    Snowflake eel???

    Thank you. This is probably the most helpful that I've read! We're looking for longer tongs or some type of anything that will help us feed him (I'll probably try the sewing needle idea, my boyfriend won't do it though). We're looking at getting squid too. He seems to eat the mysis, just the...

    Snowflake eel???

    For our filter we use a three story storage tote in a 10 gallon tank; the top layer has 6 filter pads in it and the second layer has 448ct of 1" bio balls with a 920gph at zero head pump and only pumps up 4ft. We hardly ever have to do water changes. Note we do not have any lights or coral yet...

    Snowflake eel???

    All of our fish interact fine. And we've worried about over crowding and stress, but there have never been any problems. This is our first tank so we do watch everything closely as well as ask plenty of questions before buying a fish. We are aware that our tangs and the eel will outgrow the...

    Snowflake eel???

    Recently bought a baby snowflake eel and the store I bought him from said he eats mysis. He doesn't appear to be eating much at all. Tonight I fed him before bed and he appeared to eat more, but still not much. Any advice? And since he's a baby will he not eat much, or should he be eating more...

    Pink/red algae?

    Just that it's a pain to get rid of if you don't like it. Does it do any good for the fish or change anything in the tank like ph levels or anything like that? (sorry for 20 questions, still just pretty new to the whole thing).

    Pink/red algae?

    It is. Feels more like rock than algae. Is that a good thing? I've read it can be good and bad.

    Just an update for anyone curious or reading this, the red lip blenny killed our diamond goby today.

    Pink/red algae?

    Still fairly new to the saltwater tank community and have had some problems recently...at first we noticed several fish acting strange and thought they were off color; there were several theories as to why this happened, but in the end we found our Red Lip Blenny had killed our Diamond Goby...

    Red lip blenny and diamond goby???

    This happened to us too. We were lying down for bed when we heard a loud thud from the tank. We flipped the lights on and he was swimming near the surface. Scared my boyfriend, he loves our goby lol.

    Red lip blenny and diamond goby???

    Thanks! We do have quite a few places to choose from, although we favor The Coral Reef. People are always helpful and prices are cheaper than other places. My only worry was the blenny is bigger than the goby and he might actually hurt him...but we do have several rock fixtures and our blenny...

    Red lip blenny and diamond goby???

    My boyfriend and I have a 55 gal tank and we're still fairly new to everything...we just recently got a red lip blenny and a few other fish. While everything else seems to be getting along fine the blenny doesn't seem to like our diamond goby...he was swiping at his cave opening earlier today...
