As Corailline stated, it's a learned behavior. Anything can become opportunistic if it gets hungry enough, and your star probably won't last very...
Agreed. Clownfish are little more than damsels in fancy pajamas, and if you don't match them properly in an appropriately sized tank, you're going...
+4 Regular tap is fine as long as it's not live sand. :)
1- After, and introduce them together. 2- As far as I'm concerned, the jury is still out on that one. I've never QTed, and in over 38 years, I've...
Beautiful polyps, Cheryl. Seeing them in your tank makes me want some. :)
Hmmm, an upside-down tank... that's different. ;) I have the same background on mine. I just taped around the edges to secure it. In time, the...
+1 I disagree whole-heartedly with the "x number per gallon" rule that seems to be the norm for far too many vendors. ReefCleaners, OTOH, will build...
1) Regular Instant Ocean along with routine water changes is all you need unless you have several SPS corals; that's all I use for my reef tank. 2)...
Today, I finished a DIY HOB skimmer and got it running. Since I just changed my GAC last weekend and performed maintenance yesterday (including WC),...
+1 Also, how much rock do you have? How much flow and what type of lighting? FWIW, it's not uncommon for a nem to hide under a rock for a few days...
While most anything can become opportunistic if it gets hungry enough, serpents are more likely than brittles to do so. To be on the safe side, you...
Congratulations on the home improvement, Ryan. FWIW, I became a single father when my daughter was 12 (she's 23, now). If I can do it, anyone can....
If it's in the tank in your sig (w/ 4 T5HO), there's not much to do other than feeding your fish. Xenia filters some dissolved organics from the...
Yep, Ocellaris aka False Percula aka Fake Clowns are the smallest and least aggressive of clownfish. Definitely your best option with the Chromis,...
Agreed. If the chromis and blue devil are established in the 55g, your best bet is to leave them there. Oh, and steer clear of dottybacks. Even with...
Yep, it most certainly can happen. My only reaction came from a Condylactus Anemone sting; felt a mild tingle and got a little rash that was numb for...
Personally, I don't use gloves (long-timer, before we knew about palytoxins, etc), but if you're not certain whether or not you're allergic or...
Just my opinion, but if it doesn't come with specific instructions on how to use it with a SW aquarium, I wouldn't even consider it. I'd hate to...
+1 Just a couple of additional notes: 1) Since your overflow keeps the tank level constant, the float switch will need to be in the sump where the...
Kinda hard to see it from that angle, but as already stated, it's most likely an acro crab. FWIW, most quality vendors try to ensure that each frag...
