No. Fish are active animals. They can eat a lot and produce a lot of waste. The aforementioned testing and dosing of cal, mag, and alk, along with...
That one is really nice. Love it! :)
We see who likes to pose for the camera. lol. Beautiful, healthy-looking clowns you got there. :)
FTR, contrary to popular belief, not all nems appreciate strong flow and lighting. The one that done best for me and never once moved in seven years...
A mild solution of muriatic acid and water will dissolve the outer layer where the nutrients are bound to the rock. You do not want to use hot water;...
Definitely had fun trying. Maybe next time... :D Congratulations to the top ten contestants, and good luck!
It depends on the rock and what you want to do-- If you're cleaning relatively healthy rock for storage or sale, the aforementioned method will work...
Hahaha... Back to the fish, there are actually several species, some of which are quite pretty and stay relatively small. The difficult part would...
A little clearer pic might help, but from what I see, it appears it may have been attacked. Exactly what types of fish, shrimp, and crabs do you have?
Not just you at all. I find it a bit peculiar... and convenient... that suddenly the GBR is in real danger so soon after it was "bombed". Being a...

Same here, except I use the blue side, of course. :D

lmao! Same here. :D I too prefer a blue background, but once the glass is covered with coralline, you won't see it either way.
+1 Pumps do become clogged and require cleaning periodically.
Glad to hear. :) Unfortunately, they're so common in the trade and so irresistibly unique that nearly everybody has to try at least one with their...
I'm only trying to be helpful. FTR, I draw the line between what can and what cannot receive proper care in captivity. From the vast numbers of sea...
Unfortunately, 1 year is far from a success story. If a star is receiving a fraction of it's dietary requirements, it can take 2 years or longer to...
To my knowledge, no. Only watchmans pair with shrimp, hence the name. FWIW, sand-sifting gobies can be difficult to feed and usually require a very...
IMHO, sea stars belong in the sea, as we know far too little about their specialized diets. The LFS will gladly sell you most any species as an algae...
