To answer your question, you can add as many as you want at one time with cleanup crew, corals, and sessile inverts. Fish are your largest bioload...
Simply named the "Giant Hermit Crab", that species will actually grow a bit larger, requiring a 1 foot shell (shells are measured by the size of the...
Nice setup, Sean. Looks like you're prepared to do some serious surgery. You have a nurse to help handle all that equipment during an operation?
Sorry to hear that, Curt. Emeralds usually are fairly peaceful, but like most anything else, you can find a rogue every now and then. So far, I've...
I used to love clowns and blue hippo tangs until that movie came out. I swear, if I hear one more adult customer call them "Nemo" and "Dori" at the...
ROFL! She just got a little meat with her buttered toast, that's all. I seriously doubt it will hurt anything... as long as you never tell her, that...
I've always used tap with no problems. If it's for a new tank, your system will dilute and digest any residual contaminants during the cycle. If you...
I know what you mean, that's why I started mine with all dry rock. Actually had enough coralline on the shells of my snails and hermits that my rocks...
Don't think brittle or serpent stars eat algae. They're better for cleaning up leftover meaty foods that create DOCs and cause algae. Why don't you...
Totally agreed. To add to that, even 0.25 is too high. Should be 0.03 or lower. Your tank should be smothered in GHA and/or cyano with your levels....

I have read that any ambient light may inhibit normal nighttime activity; I've also noticed a few here that claim they only run lunar lights for the...
If it fits in his mouth... Personally, I think the goby done you a favor as peppermint shrimp have been known to kill LPS corals and short-tentacle...
+1... Exactly. Personally, I would use it as a centerpiece for a flower garden rather than in an aquarium, especially if you don't even know what...
I just narrowly dodged the bullet. Had it in my cart when I placed an order about 3 weeks ago, then at the last minute during checkout, decided to...
+1 And yes, any type will work, as they all will deteriorate and create DOCs leading to ammonia to kick-start the cycle.
My SG is exactly 1.026. If you plan on corals, that's a good target level. !.023 - 1.025 will suffice, but you don't want to go lower than that. If...
It depends on the fixture. Some are 'designed' for use on covered tanks only.
Giving this thread a bump hoping everyone sees it. K+ for finding and posting this article.
LOL Yes, it takes two to tango. Their larvae have a free-swimming shrimp-like planktonic stage where they rarely last long enough in the aquarium...
