The larger Mags also run pretty warm, so if you have any issues with temp control, it will add to your worries. The Eheims have always gotten great...
As for the bluehead wrasse, or any other Thalassoma sp., your tank is too small, and they get too aggressive. If you'd like a wrasse, look into the...
Pretty fish...it really has nice markings. As for determining its sex...what Renee said.
There were some issues with the stealth heaters...they were burning up. I've heard it has been fixed, but it's hearsay, I can't say for sure....
Oddly enuff, something similar happened at our place, however, the fish eventually cycled the tank on its own and recovered, which is what prompted...
Hence the "FOLLOW THRU" comment...which I purposely highlighted in my original post. ;) Again, the OP didn't say HOW SMALL the fish in question...
Just to add some thoughts: The OP did say "juvie" fish. I honestly don't think putting a small juvie (OP didn't say HOW small) into temporary...
My dad was one of the "early aquarists" back in the days of iron-framed tank frames that were sealed with black putty, piston-type air pumps, and a...
Worms can usually be driven out via hypersalinity dips, but I'm guessing your tank is stocked, and the worms are in the substrate. You can also kill...
Each species of algae contains different things. For instance, reds, and to a lesser extent, the purples have higher concentrations of carotenoids,...
Agreed...you need to vent the cap. Start with one 3/16" hole...it may be fine, and you can stop there. You can also add a small piece of rigid...
FWIW, we kept a dozen SW setups alive and well for 72 hours with battery-op airpumps. That particular outage prompted us to get the generator, which...
Definitely Collonista sp. They're great little snails, and will propagate nicely assuming they have sufficient food. Their population will wax and...

The trouble with common names...the scorp world is REALLY bad in that respect. Obviously, what works for a gorg isn't relevant here.
We pretty much do what AZ does...we have several battery-op air pumps that we use, but for extended runs, we have a generator...i think it's the same...
Remember, water runs downhill, so you want your tallest baffle on the inflow side (from DT), and your first BT (bubble trap) baffle should be at...
One typically doesn't want to bury the base of a gorg in the substrate, as the buried tissue becomes necrotic and can travel up the stalk. This may...
If the shrimp do start grooming your fish, they may be a bit overzealous for certain species, so keep an eye out for that. Basically, they want to...
Tell the LFS not to feed the fish until Friday when you get there. It won't hurt the fish at all, and THEN if it doesn't go for a small ghostie, I'd...
Separate names with a comma.
