ok.. seriously... it's a cute little yellow tail, too small to hurt me or anything else in the tank, but it ATTACKED ME today! I had my hand in pulling out bits of algae (with my two buckets of freshwater sitting handily by of course). I had noticed yesterday while I was doing some other...

I'm trying to install a 5 stage RO/DI unit that I bought from EBAY....the instructions cover a basic kitchen install but don't touch on fish room applications. There are 3 lines out that I'm a bit confused as to where they go. One goes to the reservoir tank.... One is the RO line out... One is...

Hello all, I take care of a system for a local doctor. A 54 Corner. Fish only with some dead coral skeletons and some resin coral replicas on top of 1.5" of Aragonite gravel. The tank is Reef Ready, going to a sump with bioballs and drip tray pad. Return is Rio 1400. I've already convinced him...

My guess would be normal seasonal molting??? "Sprattoo" wrote in message ... I have 2 emerald crabs in two different tanks (water situation in each is pretty much Identical)

Hi, I need to do a water change in my 90 gallon tank and I don't have a sump. The problem is that my anemone has made its way from the bottom of the tank(under the halide) across the tank, wrapped itself around my large leather than back across the tank, up my mountain of star polyps where it sat...

A few weeks ago I moved an established FOWLR into a new 55g tank, and put down about 5" of Southdown sand. Before long I noticed bubbles under the surface of the sand, and now it's giving off bubbles like crazy. This activity has increased as I have increased my light. Now there are small...

I've noticed that these tangs are more or less cheap, in comparison with other tangs. Is it that they are farm bred or cultivated? Just curious. Richard -- "..A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava

Hiya guys Well the tank is doing allot better since i added a second Fluval 404 canister filter (chemical filtration, and Mechanical in the second), the algae is at last under control but it's proving to be hard work. In my bid to increase filtration i added some more live rock which had been...

ill leave the ro/di for someone else, with the only comment that i like the kent RO/DI's. I have a 37 gal fish, anemone, lots (45 lbs) of LR, DSB with 3 55W PC lights. In my sump(5 gal) I have a mag drive to pump water up to my tank, as well as a pump for my protein skimmer. I also have a...

I got my first shipment of Scarlet hermits and emerald crabs. I know they will occasionally molt and have been told they will look like a dead crab, so I have been keeping an eye out for this. I found one of my hermits on a rock without a shell.... the back end looked long and translucent-like. ...

I need some help. I have a new tank with lots of live rock that is sprouting all kinds of life. Is there a really good book or website with lots of pictures and descriptions of the things, including fish, that one would find in a sal****er fishtank ? p

I've just found an old post on that topic and would like to add my observations. Lysmata wurdemanni (Peppermint shrimps) do prey upon Stomatella snails. at night i used to have about 40 of these little algae grazers only on my front glass (wonder how many 'round the tank), after introducing the...

Does anybody know of any sites which sell Coral Frags in the UK, or will deliver to the UK? Have a look at http://www.inverts.demon.co.uk/midlandreefs/index.html http://www.the-other-world.co.uk/index.htm http://www.s-t-m.co.uk Rob

I have used it once it seemed to be quite effective and didn't harm any of my small variety of hardy inverts. I will use it again if I ever have need to. Personally I'd be a little worried about the clown, but the tang should easily pull through. Steve "ZaboAA" wrote: Has...

I am preparing to set mt my 46 gal bow front. I need to scrape the inside of the tank, looks like most of my equipment has survived 2+ years of storage. My 175w MH fired right up YAY! I'll go ahead and put a new bulb in anyway, it's probably 9 months old. My worst problem is going to be my Red Sea...

I'm willing to bet that any night time bugs are okay for your tank. It sounds like you are talking about mysis shrimp or maybe just some type of pods. Both are good things to have (great detritus eaters). Steve "Michael Lee" wrote in...

Yep :) James

I am researching what critters to put in a 7g nano and I am starting to wonder if there is any fish that is really appropriate to put in it. 7g is not that large and I don't want to put undue stress on any fish that I introduce. I am only going to put one fish in the tank, so a loner fish...
