Just do your research and make sure you're getting true peppermint shrimp. Some LFSes try to pass off camelbacks as peppermints; they won't touch...
+1 It's best to have all the rock in place during the cycle so that everything can cure at the same time. If one wanted to add live rock after the...
Using predators to remove pests comes with a price-- peppermint shrimp have been known to attack smaller anemones as well as some LPS corals. You...
True, but it's not high-noon the entire day. :)
One result was that by allowing temp swings, the corals became more "immune" to temp swings. IOW, the more constant you keep your temp, the greater...
I'd definitely get it approved first. You might even get store credit for them. :)
Absolutely stunning, John. Love the variety of corals you have in there. Congrats on the new Elegance, btw- very beautiful addition.
Wow! That's a very nice Toadstool, Vinny.
+1 Looks more like a yellow-tail (not really much difference), but hard to tell for certain. Damsels can change their color dramatically depending...
The problem with a tank that size is not that it can't be done, but that it can easily become an overwhelming chore. You'll need a large breeding...
As far as the bio-filter "rules" for stocking are concerned, that's a reference to help prevent stocking too much too fast. There's no such thing as...
We'll need the specs on that light fixture. Sounds like it might be a Marineland strip light. If it is, and it's their 'reef-capable' unit, softies...
Don't know about the anthia's personality, but when I first introduced my 3-stripe damsel, both the yellow tail and domino wanted a piece of him-...
The problem I have with these discussions is that "leave it in the ocean" is not a viable option. Once a fish has been captured, it's not going...
CupraSorb will remove copper; soak your rocks in a tub of SW treated with it. Change 100% of water weekly and retreat until copper is gone. A copper...
That's the problem-- you keep changing everything instead of allowing it to acclimate. Mine took over a month to open without being bothered once it...
Huh? Is it a reef-capable LED or isn't it? http://www.aquaillumination.com/nano/
AragAlive? That's some good stuff. :) Only used it once, and that was with my first reef... all kinds of critters started crawling out in just a...
+1 Looking great! Congrats on the improvement. :)
Did you start with or add live sand? That's when I got a massive "invasion". They can also come in on LR or frag plugs. FWIW, they're harmless...
