When it comes to macro algae, there are a lot old wive's tails and whatnot, esp. the "OMG it'll go sexual and nuke your tank". The only consistent,...
FWIW, the first thing you'll want to do is add more LR or BR to the tank. What you have now is OK for a pair of tiny clowns, but if you plan on...
Probably not much of one, if any. Depending on how much mature LR you add.
I dunno about THAT, but we do keep lots of venomous fish. ;) Thanks for the kind words. SushiGirl, Gotcha, and that's what I suspected. The OP...
I suspect that it was either your aquascaping or tankmates that resulted in your lionfish "not being happy". A std 55 is a really nice size for a...
The trouble with "cleaner" shrimp is that they tend to "insist' on cleaning their tankmates, and often won't take "NO" for an answer. As a result,...
A dwarf fuzzy (Dendrochirus brachypterus), D. zebra, D. barberi(Hawaiian/green lion), or D. biocellatus (Fu Manchu) lionfish would do fine in a 38...
FWIW, mojanos have bulb-tipped tentacles...the OP has appies. Mojano: [IMG]
If you use enuff LR, your tank won't likely cycle much at all, if it does cycle. One thing to consider is used tankwater doesn't contain the...
Dr. Tim, Get ahold of my wife, Incognito...she has lots of critter pix. Here's a little sample of the stuff she has: Lionfish Lair Hitchhiker ID...
To be honest, I've always used LR in my SH setups...never had any trouble with it. Then again, I don't mind BW's and the like in my tanx. Sure, an...
I beg to differ regarding WC SH...they not only require weaning, but most keepers treat them for endoparasites as a minimum. By the time you spend...
Our tankmaker is John over at Advance Acrylics in Anaheim, CA. He's done a fair bit of work for us, including building our latest 84" x 24" x 24"...
Here's a shot of our 1.5" juvie Aussie HTF...it's a cute little fish: [IMG] It will eventually find its way into our 210 gal "Things With Stings"...
"Mr. Incognito" here... I dunno how much she's getting around on the forums, and since I was lurking this AM, I'll answer. She's getting a bit...
True seagrasses require LOTS of light (similar to a reef) and at least 4" of substrate, preferably a bit more. They're a bit tuff to grow, actually....
A little late, but I use the plain old white "for acrylic" pads. I hang one finger below the pad when I'm cleaning near the substrate so my finger...
Sure looks like Bryopsis to me...
I use soft tubing and threaded fittings pretty much exclusively. Another plus, besides those mentioned, is that it's very easy to change the system...
It's most likely a bacterial film growing inside the plumbing. No worries...it happens.
