Wow, she is one tough fish. You can't reduce the strength of the formalin, just to give her time to heal her tail a bit more? It'd stink to have her come this far only to die of a secondary infection. Yes, I'm gunning for the crazy b**** now. I'm a softie! L

I see you!!! I have a bear of a time with reflections as well. Usually, I end up with giving an endorsement to Apple products. L

If you are lucky to find a mated pair, that's the one exception to them being kept singly. Mated pairs are hard to come by, though. I loved my gramma. A perfect fish and a great personality. If you get an outgoing one, you won't regret the choice. Just be really careful with lids. I can't...

Bear in mind that crazyforcorydoras is past the stocking limit for a tank that size. Especially with regard to fish choice. In this hobby, one thing I've learned... What works for one may not work for the other.

Yes, having an angelfish go nuts & munch on Xenia isn't so bad. Having an angel munch on your $40 a polyp God of War or your super rare Acan Lords is not so good.

If this the 10g you are referring to in another section, then my answer is no. Three fish pushes the stocking already.

Hey, stop tempting Simon away from the Salty side, unless... the two of us gang up and make him have discus and SW? Hahaha, then you two gang up on me and I get a discus tank... Then Si and I gang up on you and you do a SW... It's all good. :good: In any order of course. The wrigglers look...

More videos... Because it's awesome. YWG attacking a snail, or trying too. He doesn't really get it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKCit6vWbl4 Spotted Mandarin, well... being all dragonetty... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiUqayulP0w Thanks for looking. l

Ok, needed to see it on my laptop. You do have gsp. It just looked different from my iPhone. :good:

Awwwww, poor you. :friends: How's the b**** doing? She any better, or did she kick the bucket and go off to the happy ocean in the sky?

The advice you read is consistent with what I told you. If the ammonia is too high, then yes, you do the water changes to bring the level down, but I don't consider your level all that high yet and you already have nitrite, so the cycling process has begun. Continue to monitor your levels...

You may have gotten lucky. It's hit or miss with them. With the amount of corals I have, I'd rather not take that chance. LOLOL L

I will remember. :nod: L

Do you have an ammonia test kit? you'll also need nitrite & nitrate test kits. You typically do the water change when you have nitrates, unless the curing is particularly nasty, then I'd do water changes to keep ammonia in check. You don't need much ammonia to get a good cycle going. What is...

That's actually not a bad id. :good: Do you have a shrimp for it?

How big is it? Hard to say, I've looked at a few places and can't find it. I'll keep plugging away though. L

I was considering the cherub for my 36g, but ultimately shot it down as I'm not confident that it won't eat my corals. How long has the tank been setup? Some of your fish choices are controversial for such a small tank. That being said, I make some controversial choices too and if you are...

I'll be doing my water changes. :( No trips planned anymore cause no moneys. I may take some day trips or do tourist stuff in Miami. I don't think we're painting, just cleaning and making some repairs. L

That's not a bad start up size and the dimensions are actually really good. Yes, I've got a few tanks that I've converted from FW to SW by just piecing together the right equipment. L

Anything between 10-30g is considered nano. Sorry, I'm from the US & it's 6am, so my brain isn't up for converting yet. The bigger the tank, the more stable it is. I like 20g longs personally. Great shape, shallow for good light. Nice & wide for scaping & fitting extra equipment, and it's a...

It's always rough to lose a fish. I kinda feel this way about the gramma. I'm not sure I want to replace him. The green ones are lovely. I thought about it, but I was very picky about them eating pellets. Sure! Welcome aboard! As long as you are willing to be slave to its demanding needs, sure.

What kind of Mandarins did you own? Yeah, it's a great goby. I like it. In many ways, the coolest of the gobies I've had. Today, I have to empty the refugiums for this tank & the 5.5g. I'm just going to dump it in the quarantine tank for now. I just can't toss it & the light in the...

Those are some great shots. Look at it this way, free food. I don't feel bad when my Banded shrimp releases eggs. She feeds the tank. Those discus are stunning. :drool: L

I don't think you have gsp. I'll check later when I'm on my laptop. Glad the 6 line is working for you so far. L

Shrimp/goby pairs are awesome. :) L

The goby is getting used to things, though not as quickly as my jawfish and firefish have. Those two are bosom buddies and eat like pigs. The Mandarin is actually a bit of a surprise. He's quite extroverted, though in an understated Mandarin sort of way. Yes, we'll continue to work on...

Is it not a wonderful place to be? Either she's a female and they grey as they mature, or there is actually a grey morph of the species. I did a bit of research and have seen pictures of yellow mated pairs and grey mated pairs, so my inclination is that she's a color morph. Not sure why...

And the General deserves a worthy present.

It's my mission to make ALL of you salties. :devil: And you will, you will... Only a matter of time. :whistle: Muhuahuahua! L

What's one eeency, weency little SW tank gonna do? It so wittle, you barely see it. Mrs won't even notice it... Just tuck it away somewhere... You know you wanna... It's harmless... Swear... :devil: L

Where does my lighting fit in? Just asking. Sounds like a cool, cool setup Shovel. L

Do a pico, Zod. You're advanced enough in the hobby that you can start with a SW nano or pico. It really cuts down on initial cost. L

I finally got some good pictures of my grey ywg. Yep definitely not yellow. But first Mr. Mandarin settling in. He loves mysis, pellets, and yes, pods. The ywg with the tiger pistol, look at the size difference, you can see she's much, much larger than my previous ywg. Look at that...

If she pulls through... Wow, just wow... She's one tough b**** L

The LEDs make the color REALLY pop. I love it under the blues. The LEDs also make some of the corals grow like crazy. My duncan will have to be moved when I do the upgrade for the old 8g over the summer, as it started with 4 heads and now has 12. That's stupid fast growth. I'll have to start...

Wow, the nem looks so much better! Huge improvement. A testament to daily feedings. How is the clown faring? L

Oh super pretty gramma. Oooooooo, now don't let anybody drink near your tank! No parties! Your tank looks awesome. L
