Rayjay, Would a seabae anemone be too large for my 29gal tank? Also, did you grow all of those corals under Non-Hallide lights?

Well I have noticed that since I put the extra strip of T5s on things in my tank have started to liven up alot. I had a few polyps on a piece of live rock that I bought open up after not being open for a month or so, my mushroom carpet (I think that's what it is) went from 4" in diameter to...

It would seem pretty difficult to me...most rummy-nose tetras in your LFS are false rummy noses...

I thought I was told that the wattage of T5 lighting works differently than regular compacts...besides, I have had an atlantic anemone and another type for months with only one set of the above lights and they have done great so far. Now I have two and the other things in the tank are loving it...

Hey All! I have confusion about lighting. Here's what I have... I have a 29 Gallon saltwater set-up and for lighting I have two (2) sets of T5 lights. Each 30" light strip conatins: 1- 18 watt 10,000K Daylight T5 Flourescent Lamp 1- 18watt True Actinic 03 Blue T5 Flourescent Lamp So I have...

Yeah, I was told since he was so small that he would do alright, but I guess not. The wrasse isn't showing any signs of ich and the pink skunk is living in an anemone and I think it stung off what was there...I could be wrong, but everyone is looking fine now...weird...I'm going to keep feeding...

Yeah...I already lost the Tang...I only had it 2 days...*tear*...what a beautiful fish. I feel so guilty!!!

Hey guys... I have ich in my SW tank and it's time for the QT treatment. I have a 10gal which I can use (I hope it'll hold all the fish) for 4-6 weeks. They are: 1- ocelarris clown (1.5") 1- Pink Skunk Clown (1.5") 1- Bi colored blenny (2") 1- 6 Line Wrasse (1") 1- Brown Tang (2")...

"cute" as a button ;)

It's always a possibility. Or it could die from stress. I don't know for sure, but in my expereience if you take the guppy back to your LFS alive and tell them the situation, then ask for a trade for a fish of equal of lesser value they usually will do that. I have yet to not have a fish store...

I've only been doing SW for about 2 months and I have a quick question: Do I need to "vacuum" my sand? I know in my FW tanks that you need to gravel vac fairly regularly, but I wasn't sure if I nee dto in SW. I have lots of crabs and snails and I was thinking about getting a Diamond Goby too...

Well, sounds like you have to make a choice here...guppy or platy? One thing you might want to consier is this: do you plan on getting other fish for the tank? If so, you want to think about if the guppy is a jerk now, what's to keep him from picking on other fish? I have two platies in my 10...

Yeah, I know I am pretty packed in both. The 55 gal has been stable w/o death for a couple months, so I am scared to add anything new anyway...haha... The stock in the 10 gal is actually the old stock from a 29 gal and it has been slowly narrowing down the population. I have a 30 gal filter on...

Hey All! I have a couple of freshwater tanks (see my sig) and have been doing this for years, but I have yet to purchase a cory. Almost every other post suggests them and raves about them, so I am curious if I should get one (or more than one) because they seem to be loved. If you think I...

I would get: 1 - Dwarf Gourami or/an 1 - Male Betta also 6 - Neon Tetras 1 - Cory This combo will provide LOTS of color for your tank... Keep in mind the more fish you have the more PWC you'll need to make and the better filtration you should have.

I currently have 3 khuli loaches (5 in my overall time of tanking). I LOVE THEM! They aren't visible all the time, but that makes them all the more fun when they come out. They have always had great personalities (if you ever want stories...I've got stories...LOL...) They do not eat algae, but I...

They should be fine. Do they have long fins or short? Zebras are pretty quick, I wouldn't worry about it unless they have really long fins.

Yes, the shark should be fine. I saw one at my LFS in with a bunch of asst. africans and he was chasing the cichlids around. Just test him in the tank and see what happens.

I don't know why it put all those "amp"s in the poll...weird... My wife stopped me at three tanks, I was amazed I even got that far...lol...

Just Curious... I have 3... 1- 55 gal fresh large community/semi agressive (angels, gouramis) 1- 10 gal fresh community 1- 29 gal salt community Tell us what you have...

13 tanks??? how's your water bill???

I tried to keep 6 large (3"-5") african cichlids in a 29 gal once and it was a NIGHTMARE!! (I was new to the world of cichlids) I would have one cichlid that would beat up the others and be the "main" agressor. So I would remove that one and then withing an hour another would assume that role...

what eats these? I have a 29 gal with an ocellaris clown a skunk clown and a bicolored blenny...what should I get? A six-line wrasse maybe? Also...what is this? Is this a type of polyp or soft coral? It is dull in this picture, but really the top is shiny pink/purple/blue...

Just out of curiosity...I have like six of them on my live rock (just noticed yesterday) this is the longest (about 2" long)...what are they? Also, I had my first big algae bloom recently and my live rock is constantly popping up with new little creatures...I'm assuming all this is healthy...

i did...why?
