Merged both threads together. Please do not double post in separate forums. The appropiate forum for your question was the nano reef forum.

ok how do i "merge em"

 

[melosu58]

They already are.

 

[panza]

ok thx wont happen again

 

[melosu58]

Dont worry about it. The site really gets untidy when we post the same thing in different forums. You know now so everything is OK.

kk btw i looked at your pics and i reall like your tank how is the torch is it easy to take care of i want one but someone told me they spread like crazy and will take over my whole entire tank.

 

[melosu58]

It`s pretty easy to me. I dont target feed it. It gets what it needs from the water column and lighting. I have a 6 ft tank so it wont overgrow it but I can see where it might in a nano tank.

 

[panza]

so do you think i could try it?

 

[melosu58]

Maybe a small piece if you plan to upgrade in the future. What you have to worry about is that they have sweeper tentacles that will sting other corals. The more I think about it the more I think maybe not in a nanno. The sweepers will come out 5-6 inches.

Panza, I think you need to slow down and take some time to read through these threads and search a bit around the forum. So many people have tried to help with your problems, but it seems as though its not getting through at times. Not trying to be mean, but please please research. Feather dusters are great, but need an established tank..( several months at least) it sounds as though yours is still getting stablized, especially with the amount of fish deaths you've had already. I would personally return the scooter ( they're all too common at LFS) as they work pretty much the same way as the beautiful mandarins.. I'd love one but even I wouldnt think of adding one to my 55 gallon ( I dont have a refugium). They're small, but need about 100x's their weight in live food to survive. Many LFS will try to tell you otherwise. You may want a shark for example, but obviously most people arn't capable of caring for one, no matter how bad they want one. my LFS recently had a long nosed orange spotted filefish for sale... cheap only $20, but dont let cheap prices fool you, it doesnt mean they're easy to care for.. ive read at least 90% of these beautiful fish die in tanks, even by professional ( aka zoo etc) aquarists. Some species just belong in the ocean, plain and simple. Thats why its important to research.

Just trying to offer friendly advice, dont take me wrong

Read the post a little more thorough I said you should return the scooter, they are about the same as mandarins, food demanding wise. Just looking out for your fish and helping you avoid any further losses and stress on your part, is all.

 

[panza]

well if people keep bugging you about something you talked about like 90times would u get a little mad hmmmmmm i thought so

I second that. Stay cool. Sometimes folks dont read every post esp. if its a long one. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

Hmm, if someone kept posting about the same issues and not listening, wouldn't you get annoyed!?!?!?

Very true.
