he may be a victim of an un caged heater if you have one in your tank. With that stock rate in that tank leave him be as long as he is on wall. Heaters that are not protected are a serious danger to resting, clinging & big biters. I finally got that thru my thick skull after watching a snail...

LOL that is what I am doing. I want a tank in the bedroom by the bed, a deep water with the Lys fire shrimp, black cap basslet, maybe a trio of anthias a yashio shrimp gobie, and a few other deep water species but I don't want all the crap, just tank so I want DH to make stand and put small...

ohh, what an interesting way to occupy someone who is OCD. MAke them find & count all the things that come out of LR :blink:

Premium I assume? Very HUGE BUMMER that Joy shut down Harbor :sad: THe folks at Premium have always been nice & helpful & I have bought dry goods live rock & livestock from them at very fair to very good prices. Picking the live rock - that really depends on what your set up is intended to...

most any old benthic or pelagic zooplanton is fine. You won't find them at the garden centre tho. DO NOT FEED WORMS FROM THE GARDEN CENTER!!!! tHE WORMS REFFERED TO ARE FROM A PET STORE. You must be UK, here we have blood or red worms and black worms sold in local pet shops (or Local Fish...

HI, I take it you are in the UK? I can't comment on brands there but can help with other suggestions. FIRST!!! What do you want to keep in the tank? I know you said fish only, I agree with Navarre (isn't that a strange name for a Brit?) add live rock. If my conversion factors are correct & N...

What an odd juxtaposition, the moniker AK 47 not wanting to kill a mollusc. Tho you don't sound like you are in the states unless you are older than I. There may be a sexy explanation; the snail maybe producing eggs. Or it may be traumatized. Is there a tear or odd looking spot anywhere on...

Hey Ostrow, r u CMAS mem? The Eclipse 2 (what fits a standard Eclipse 25 gallon) retro kit is available for $25.USD - $169.USD. I know as I have a 25 gal eclipse that I talked a friend out of as I was sick of hearing about all the fish she killed. Mostly tangs. Straight into an Eclipse with...

I second the joes juice. Sounds like you have an Eclipse type tank; if you do not have additional filtration & LOTS more flow than a standard eclipse hood provides you will never get rid of the aiptasia. Why do you wnat to get rid of it? You can't have corals in that tank with the trigger so...

Um, if ya need more LMK, I have buckets - 5 gallon- of it. It will grow abandonded in a less than 1 gallon water globe for 2 years. and counting. It will take harder & saltier water than most other plants. Don't blast with light and let it have used water. It is happy with little or no flow.

If i did the conversion correctly, that is ~50 or 55 gallon US? so 18 - 24" deep? Less than 6" substrate? You substrate will also affect which corals will be happy ih your system BTW. I can't comment on how to add lights, esp as your are a Brit, but check out www.AHSUPPLY.com he has great...

As much as will fit in. How much you may need or want depends on what you will be keeping in the aq & the "kind" of live rock, also if yu have a fuge. the general rule of thumb is 1 1/2 pounds per USA gallon. All live rock is not equal, 3/4 pounds of some kinds which are very porous, lacy etc...

How old is the aquarium? If less than a year, wait. With PC you can have anemones BUT you will have to choose wisely. Do you just want any anemone or is there a specific one you want? I would not try WC [wild caught] without HID/MH. What else is or do you want to have in the tank? That may...

ok you have a 55W CF on your 20 gallon? Was the live rock cured? did you buy it out of a dealers tank? What is your flow rate? You aren't bleaching the algae with your light, trust me. There are lots n lots of life forms in and on that live rock which are still dying and sloughing out/off...

First: please research what you want to keep. Condy are not compatable with clownfish - check specific gravity preferences, TEMP req, alk etc on each potential resident. 2 96W CFs - 36" or power quads? could maybe support an anemone from someone like Dr Mac who tank raises aneomones if the set...

With no info on what plant, temp, substrate, filtration, light duration & other sources of illumination an answer is impossible as to why some plant grows in your 5 gal but not your 40. So a few basic observations. Your 40 has a lot of plant eaters. Are you sure the plant isn't being...

Depends on what anemone. Aiptasia can live in the dark. Desirable anemones maybe. What are the tank parameters & other inhabitants? Short answer - yes, an anemone can live happily & healthily without MH. They can be happy in a 7 gal bow front with no protien skimmer and ~24 watts of CF and...
