They're not hard at all. They will eat just about any algae in your tank including coralline algae.
If you want to get to SPS and LPS in the future I would stick with just LPS for now. Softies can take over your tank in the right conditions and make...
Sounds like it to me. Found some interesting info on limpets while looking too. The biology of rocky shores - Google Books Page: 86
I agree, they are great for movement in the tank.
Welcome to the hobby and to 3reef.
Glad to hear it pulled through for you. The initial round of ich is always the hardest. If it ever gets it again it will be much easier.
Sponges are a sign of tank health. They can start from spores within your live rock. They are a filter feeder, so all it will do is help filter your...
Can we get some more info? Tank size, params, lighting, how long have you had it?
Check this one out: Seahorses - Hippocampus erectus That is by every opinion I've heard the best source for horses. They guarantee them to be...
Yes, if you don't have a CUC to clean up the detritus, it will be just as bad of a nitrate factory as your bio-balls were.
It's worked great so far. All my SPS' are growing like weeds. http://www.3reef.com/forums/show-off-your-fish-tanks/mikejrice-30g-finished-73511.html
Welcome to 3reef.
You might be able to pull of a couple dwarfs in there, but definitely not with the wrasse in there. A few mangrove trees would make great hold fasts...
IMO diversity is key to all reef aquariums. They all perform slightly different tasks. If you do add both, make sure you have some extra shells for...
IMO there is a lot of common misconceptions floating around about seahorses. The biggest one I see is the low flow myth. They come from the ocean,...
Yeah, it should be fine. They will deflate to expel toxins and shed than re-inflate when they're done.
I'm running an Odyssea 250 over my 30 gallon. The Odyssea 20k bulbs are a much better bulb than what you get stock. They are not as blue as most...
They will shed just like a mushroom leather. It will come back bigger and looking better than before.
Those are about the size I see most people frag SPS. Looks good. IMO they are some of the easiest, because you just break them off and super glue...
They will be big before you know it. It seems to me that after you frag them they grow even faster:)
