I'm on the new iPad now. So far so good but I'm not exactly a techy.
+1. staying in one place and eating are definitely good signs. I feed my anemones once a week directly (i'm sure they also grab food when i feed the...
beautiful fish. congrats on the peaceful addition. i would be surprised if i could add another tang to my tank without a scuffle or two.
i found "The Constientious marine Aquarist" by Bob Fenner to be a good book when i set up in 2009. I think that was the second edition and am not...

i agree. i let the aiptasia grow in my fuge and it eventually made it up to my dt. i wouldn't risk it.
why do you need to get rid of your amphipods?
i just place an empty bucket on a chair and siphon 5 gal out of the DT using an inch and a quarter hose. Then i switch out that bucket with a bucket...
My powder blue is also extremely aggressive towards new fish. What i do is place a net in the corner of the tank (net side down :) ). my pbt won't go...
