Flake food is really bad for your tank and not very good for your fish at all. Pellets are only marginally better. Cutting up a frozen table shrimp is fine. That's very nutritious. If you want to maximize nutrition, though, you should look into some other types of food. Variety is important...

What are your calcium and alk levels? It's certainly odd that you're losing things and can't maintain normal levels. This could actually be a sign that something else is wrong. In any case, dosing could solve the problem for awhile but without knowing what's depleting your levels it's...

My next tank is going to be shallow. Somewhere around 60 gallons. Not sure on the measurements quite yet but at least 4 ft. long probably 5ft. and no more than 14" deep (12" of water). I think they are far more aesthetically pleasing, easier to maintain and work on and allow you to keep a more...

Mine doesn't sift the sand at all. He's a yellow watchman with the blue spots. He basically just sits about two inches in front of his cave during the day. He's almost always visible but never really leaves the same general area. VERY territorial....and while he isn't actually capable of...

I just have to add my $.02. You're honestly wasting your time and money. None of what you're keeping requires dosing of any kind. That stuff doesn't even REALLY require any feeding (although some may benefit). I would save your money. Dosing saltwater reefs is mostly done because of SPS...

To speed the process up you could hook up an old HOB or canister filter with just carbon for a few days. It helps clear my tank up quicker.

I have a Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse (male initial) and a Sixline together. They do just fine. The 6-line, if anything, is the weakest fish in the tank and most skiddish. My yellow watchman goby is the boss of the tank for sure. If either of the other fish approach the bottom of the tank he opens...

Could just be a bad fish. Happens sometimes. I would keep an eye on it and do exactly what you're doing. Have you noticed any aggression between them at all? Did you get two difference sizes? Is the smaller one the one that's "sick"?

So far all I've seen anywhere is positive feedback....but that doesn't say anything because they're still super new and people only began ordering them a couple months ago. Time will tell.

Like BL1 said brine shrimp are way too big (and also of relatively low nutritional value....probably shouldn't be feeding them to your fish either!) If you're looking for something to feed them, try one of the coral foods available. Coral Frenzy, Reef Chili, Marine Snow, etc. I'm not sure if...

GSP is fine....it does tend to grow like weeds but you can easily manage it and where it is allowed to grow. If you think of it as a pretty weed you'll be fine...it just needs to be pruned a little more regularly than a lot of other things. There are many zoas/palys like this as well. I...

hahahaha Wow ok good to know. I won't be getting it because my tank is much too small....but I've seen some people on other sites say the WP-10 is on its way.....which would be an amazing addition to the hobby in general imo and would save me a LOT of money.

Idk about the BC because it's cube but in my 29g standard I have signficantly more flow and consistently feel like I should have MORE. I have a hydor 750, a maxijet 1200 return on my skimmer, a 250gph cheap powerhead blowing behind the rocks and a 500gph jbj oceanstream and I still want to...

Yeah they have a smaller footprint that hydors. I have a hydor 750 in my 29g right now and I hate its guts. It's so gigantic for no reason and they need to be cleaned so often (and even when they're clean...they still don't always work right). How is the controller that comes with it? What's...

Chinese knockoff products have had pretty good run in recent years. A lot of people have had a lot of success using Reefbreeders LEDs. Most of the products we use are made in China regardless. The quality isn't going to be equal to an mp40....but for the price, it seems good. People who are...

Everyone's been talking about these things. They're chinese knock offs of tunze/vortech. Jebo WP-40 13000L Wave Maker They push a LOT of water apparently. One guy I saw posted a vid of him using one on his 120 with some serious flow. It's apparently equivalent to an mp40. Comes with...

Do you have a reef tank or a FOWLR?

Get new sand! Looking good, though. :-)

How was the feeding reaction when you fed it? It LOOKS alright to me. If I were you I would leave it alone. Let it find its way and figure things out. As someone else mentioned...it's one of the more difficult anemones to keep and your tank is very new for something like this. It's going to be...

For the tank size question, I recommend you go with the largest aquarium you're able to have and afford. For people just starting out in this hobby it is significantly easier to keep a system with a larger amount of water. The more volume, the more room for error. I feel like a 40 breeder or...
