Nice setup so far. I think seahorses are a bit tough in a reef for various reasons, such as differences in temp and flow requirements. Look forward...
ha ha, that's funny your clown is hosting in the duncan. BTAs aren't really a natural host for OCs, though sometimes OCs take to them. Mine still...
I know people do this, you can also try pointing a powerhead at it's foot. IMO, this may be less stressfull as long as the power of the powerhead...
You only want the top inch to tumble. There is really no benefit to excess tumbling you just want to make sure it dosn't collapse and form a solid...
As long as the coloration is healthy and it is open most of the time, gennerally looking healthy and not wandering it;s fine. from wetewebmedia:...
I just ask because I think I've read females have a better chance. Males from what I understand tend to be aggressive towards each other. Of course...
No way, that's awesome ;D I assume you already have a male, I'm not that familiar with Bengaii sexing, is there anyway to tell if it's a female?
I never liked the designer names, it makes the hobby seem like stamp collecting. I like the hobby for the science, biology and the beauty of...
Yeah, as shackman said, raising it allows some fluctuation without risk of it dropping low. There isn't really much benifit, if any to being over...
In my old 75g, there is still a dwarf red leged hermit that hitchhiked on a piece of macro algae when I started the tank 9 1/2 years ago. They are...
Yup. I had these two together for many years without issue, but that dosn't mean it will always work out. Firefish are timid and Yellows can be...
How about a small agressive tank? Could keep some fish like a Fu Manchu Lionfish, and/or an Angler, and/or leaf fish etc..
Congrats the painful part is over, time to get on with reefkeeping :beer:
That sounds like a great idea. We don't know, or at least I don't know anything about you, other than that you like starfish :) So, it's tough to...
I just noticed this. That is another very potential cause. Tap water can have all sorts of organic crud in it, as well as toxins and nutrients....
I think Inwall is correct, the low pH and ammonia reading suggest that the anemone may have spawned and now this material is decaying causing a...
It looks good to me. As others have mentioned, toadstools are supposed to do this from time to time. As long as it happens infrequently, monthly or...
Not all inverts require algae, so this is tough. Also systems will differ based on available nutrients. You can grow algae pretty effectively in a...
Wow, sorry to hear that. Sucks, you can do everything right and then loose everything do to a stupid piece of equipment :angry: Good luck with the...
Not necessarily, Some of my tanks have been like this. My last tank, for example though, I was actually good and scraped the coralline off the...
