how about svobb. (don't ask how to pronounce it, I am under the impression all algae common names are impossible to pronounce) (it is short for...
I didn't think aiptasia looked bad either. I was excited to find it in my tank. The problem with it is that it has poisons stingers and will sting...
two should be fine. I wouldn't go with the blue hippo or sailfin. Both of them get to be very big. I have a juv sailfin in my 98 gal. It makes me...
No I don't plan to irritate it. I just don't want to come home to a flooded carpet and a suffocated stomatopod. I figured I might as well do it...

I love inverts. I think crabs and shrimp are some of the coolest things we can keep in an aquarium. I have been looking for a really cool invert...
My light bulbs were wayyyy over due for a changing. I had really bad algae blooms in the water. I changed out all of my bulbs, and the algae...
I would just add a drop or two to the food. I use garlic power though, instead of kents. My directions say to add only enough to saturate the food...
Awesome thread. Those are really cool looking fish. I would like to have one in my tank, but I will wait until I get more algae. I love the way...
