Well - I drove 90 minutes to pickup one on Saturday- He's a beauty, about 3.5 inches, super blue throat with striking yellow fins and tail. Cost= $79.99 with local 10% discount for being a member of the local reef club- so basically no tax, shipping. He is looking good so far- although no eating...

Ya- very nervous about it- but no real choice if I want this fish. Maybe waiting until it warms up would be prudent. NO locals have this fish ( found only a female)- maybe I will ask to special order a male and then see what they would charge. I would certainly pay more for it= $100 locally. But...

Yep - going to take the plunge- saltwater.com has one for $59.99. Hopefully, it will be healthy- the best I can doing locally is 89.99 and it is a female. Other websites either don't have one or are even more expensive with shipping.

I am thinking about getting one of these fish - thanks for posting SoccerPro as I was not aware Bluethroats were jumpers. I will have to make sure my back canopy screens are perfect before purchasing one of these. Any other comments/experiences about this fish would be great. I have a mixed 90...

mine just quit alternating- I have "fixed " that several times now by cleaning it= forcing reverse flow into it.I have heard of others that have taken them apart to clean.

Ok - Zooplex = organic nutrients= good for inverts,etc. but, without proper waste management ( skimming, water changes, filter feeders) those organics will definitely stimulate algae growth. So, Target feed those animals that you think require the Zooplex food and use the least amount possible...

Ok - not a newer tank or a "normal cycle". Doesn't sound like your overfeeding, but the Zooplex ( not familiar with it) - if a dead product ( frozen,powers,etc.) may produce algae. Hmm. I agree the water temp could be a factor. How old are you bulbs (old bulbs shift to the red which reportedly...

remember the phosphate test we have dose not "see" organic phosphates. So, you probably have a lot of organics in the tank feeding the type of breakout you have. Diatoms, or algae - doesn't matter. How old is you tank- might be a "normal " cycle and you have to pull it off by hand , make sure...

I have used the 3/4 inch SQWD for years with good success. They do fail after a year or so, BUT for the price it is a good way of creating alternative currents in a tank. I use mine on the return pump from the sump. IT definitely reduces flow- so use a more powerfull pump than you originally...

What type of corals are you going to keep - That will determine what type of lights you need. If just softies /mushrooms then PC's will work. If sps /lps/clams then you need better lights= T5 ho, Metals halides. VHO will work on most LPS and some low light SPS if put high in the tank = closer...

My Percula Clowns bite me when I clean the tank - I KNOW I cant add any new fish.

PIC's huh?? I do have them but posting them is another story- I am reasonably "challenged " in the computer/tech areas. I have begun a "Photoshop" area, but haven't spent the time to finish downloading my digital pic to it and to figure out what to do next. Being a small business owner (...

Hello- just taking the time to say "hello" . Have been on Reef central, and other sites for years, but expanding my horizons so I am new to this site. Have been into aquariums for most my life , but switched to salt about 15 years ago and a coral reef setup about 3 years ago. Current system(s)...
