I guess it would depend on the depth and color of the sky at that time to depend on which would be darker. In other words you both would be right. Correct?!? ******************************************************* The sea is blue for the same reason that the sky is blue: In the first place...

As long as you used live sand you will be fine. I purchased a scooter blenny, which has the same difficulty and eating habits and has been alive in my 35 gallon for about 8 months, then moved over to a brand new 90 gallon after only a 1 month worth of running and has been alive and kicking for...

Get a cleaner wrasse. It will eat the ick off of the fish. It is actually pretty amazing and it starts immediatly upon arrival of the fish. Your tangs will swim right up to it and stick out a fin to let them eat it off. They should only cost about 10 bucks at your LFS. My LFS has a 13 inch...

I bought a 1 inch Maroon Clownfish, about 6-9 months ago. At the time of me buying it the clown had white stripes. It is now about 1.5 inches and yellow stripes look to be appearing in place of the white stripes. Do the gold stripes clowns have white stripes in a juvenile stage? :bounce:

I would like to add my first Tang to my tank, but not one LFS in town has the Regal Blue. Do these fish come in and out of season depending on the season? Any thoughts? Any thoughts on any other types of Tangs that are good?

LFS that I purchased from basically said that the cucumbers skin is like a really rough leather and that anemone sting probably will not penetrate the skin, and if it does it will just get up and move away from it when irritated. I listened to him, and the cucumber is still alive and kicking...

Can a Rose Bubble Anemone sting a sea cucumber to death? I recently purchased a Anemone, and it moved last night and camped out right on top of my cucumber. I am concerned that it will sting it and kill it. Should I be?

Thank you. I will probably go to my my LFS tomorrow and snag a half dozen or more. I will have to take out and give up my good buddy coral banded shrimp. You are right thought they are a good addiditon, and I like the fact that I can have more than 1 shrimp creaping around the tank like a...

so in other words peppermint shrimp is the way to go. my tank is not established enough. I am only about to hit the 6 month mark, or else the Kalkwasser. Explain what that is. I am not familiar with it.

I would like to get a copperband butterfly, but what are the cautions when housing them in a reef tank?!? I know they feather dusters, but what else.

Thank you.

What is the quickest way to take these down? They have started popping up.

The Tuxedo urchin is awesome. I suggest getting one. They pick up all your leftover rock and snail/crab shells, and stick them to their backs and wander around. They are so freakin' funny to watch. The more crud they have on them the healthier they are.

This is kind of a stupid question, but can a tuxedo sea urchin and sea cucumber go together. The LFS said if it dies just dont poke it with any sharp objects so it does not let its guts out, and the only thing I could think about last night was when I bought the urchin when he poked holes...

Mine died from a smaller live rock falling on it and didnt catch remove it until the next day and hoped star was still alive.
