someone should send me my first coral for free lol. you pick what it is. anyways lol. i now have my canopy. I need to install and cut for fans. but should I: put one on each end facing into canopy. one one each end, one in canopy, and one pulling air out I also thought of drilling...

Ok so I posted yesterday about my clowns acting weird. They are acting the same today, and I was told they are likely pairing or attempting to spawn. In any case, my blenny was fine. No visible signs of anything other than personality. I came back in today and he was dead. Still no signs of...

Ok so, since yesterday my fish have been acting strange... I have 2 clarkii clowns, and a combtooth blenny. The blenny is same as always. But my clowns are being odd. Like one of them keeps going to the front of the tank over some shells in one specific spot and kinda hovers for a few seconds...

Ok so I got some really extremely nice 7 year old reef sna dfinally from my older cousin in VA. I temp aclimated the stuff lol, and spread it over my sand in the middle. He has crushed coral, BUT, its really really small CC for some reason??? So I kinda like it, and it doesnt trap anything...

Ok So I always post with no pix... But I cant ever catch this sucker to get one... I bought what was named a scooter blenny... But I knew he wasnt, I thought he was a lawnmower, but I also was wrong. From what Ive seen of him so far, he looks like a combtooth blenny. Hes eating flake...

Well My tank has been doing well, has apparently started growing 3 colors of coraline. So I went yesterday to get a green chromis.. Of course their sold out lol. So I bought what was said to be a scooter blenny. I knew he wasnt, hes actually a lawnmower blenny. But they had him marked down...

Ive been starting to get some of my purple back lately. But ive also started getting more and more neon green spots and bigger sections. I also have spots with some yellow. Are these both forms or coraline???

Well I just got my cleaner shrimp!!! Im acclimating him as I type. Hopefully he'll like his new home since its about 40 mroe gallons and lots of rock to play on.

Just wondering if theres n anenome that stays in the sand for sure? And what anenomes do Clarkii's host?

Well Ive basically bought everything for my tank so far. Im now looking to step up a notch. Testing daily does get a lil old lol, ill admit it. So what about items such as pinpoints, where I can use a moniter to check my say calcium, alk, and ph together? Or seperate doesnt matter.

Ok so as ive posted all over today I got my clowns acclimated and in tank fine. I went to check the temp and check them out and saw the temp is sitting at 80 degrees now..... I acclimated them at 76.5, and now my smaller clown has some white specs on him...

Ok I saw them do this at the store every now and again, and ive seen alot of other fish do it also. But why do fish do that shaking thing? Like one of my clowns will get near the other, say within 1 centimeter lol, and one will do this body shake thing??? Why is that?

Im adding my clarkiis tomorrow. I know adding 2 baby clowns is enough of aa start bioload alredy, but would adding a peppermint shrimp be a bad idea since this is my start? Also if I have 2 peppermint shrimp, would it be to much to later have 1-2 scarlett skunk in my 55 or is that to many...

My Clarkii's NOW PIX Well it finally happened. I bought my first fish. No pix yet, they are still at the store in quarantine until Monday. 2 Baby Clarkii Clowns, They readily scarf down flake food and nori strips. They were in tank with 2 purple firefish. The reason for waiting is that I...

Ok finally.. I got my lights today from a local reefer!!! The guy was really cool, we talked at his house for like 4 hours lol. he gave me alot of first-hand knowledge hes picked up, and some donts that hes learned. I got a dual 175 MH with magnetic ballast and 2 vho 48 inch for $280 I...

Ok so I posted my last ests in another thread. I read the packets that came with my kit, and it says after convertng the nitrites my nitrates are actually at 0... I never got any diatom bloom, or any other algae outbreak. I turn my lights on for like an hour a day every 3 days or so just to...

Ok so bear with me... Youve all seen the commercial... "he has a lil captain in him".. well thats me lol.. Rum is my friend tonight. So my new test results that I thought to post are ammonia-.25-------was .5 before nitrite-.1-.2 (hard to tell between kinda)---was as high as the card...
