Thanks Steve!
Hi, its been a few years since I posted here. I gave up on my reef tank a few years back after I came home from a vacation and found that one of my...
How about a nice Royal Gramma or a six line wrasse. They are a little more expensive fish for a first fish, but if your tank is well cycled I dont...
My friend has a niger trigger in with inverts and he leaves them alone. Blue throat triggers can also be reef safe. The blue throats are docile for...
Ok, send me back to grammar school for spelling! LOL.
Nassarius snails are great. Get some of the small ones and jumbo super tongan nassarius snails. You will need to feed them however as they are not...
Very nice Coris wrasse! I love Zoo's as well and have been thinking about doing a Zoo only tank with clams. I especially love the multi-colored...
The reason it causes an algae bloom is because its anti parasitic as well as an antibiotic. So your nitrates will spike.

Here's what you can do with the sponge. Cut it in half so there is a top and bottom piece. The bottom piece will always have the most junk. When...

I wouldnt add any type of blue tang to that tank! Your ich is just under control and dormant. Adding a blue tang will just reactivate it. The only...

I think your LFS was just trying to protect you from possible Ich. Those tangs are ich magnets and can bring out ich harboring silently in your...
Run a boat load of carbon in case something polluted the tank. Double check the temp of the tank to make sure the thermometer is reading right. The...
Octopus!
Do you use tap water or R/O? If tap, it could be some pollutant. Nitrates are a little high but the clam should be ok with it that high.
I also kept both Mono's with my African tank years ago. They did well in the high pH of the african tank. The Sebae got huge and the other fish...
Too bad about Ultimate Reef's. When I was there last year, he had good prices and nice stuff for Tulsa.
