what I ended up doing.... I bought the Duracell back up battery. It has the same capacity as the Xantrex, is lighter and cheaper, and, get this - it's manufactured by Xantrex. After a lot of price shopping, Amazon had the cheapest price. I used it for the scheduled power outage (all went...

Thanks, everyone! I will not resume the Iodide. My salt is Coralife. Is that considered a high quality salt? Thanks for all your useful replies! :D

Before I get started, want to say I read all posts and did research on Iodide, Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, and Emerald Crabs. My emerald crab died a few weeks ago. She was doing very well and eating constantly and all of a sudden just died, although she never molted. I have two Scarlet Skunk...

Hello, I did a search on this but came up short. My electrical utility has scheduled a 10 hour shut off. I'm trying to figure out my best option for a small 50 g tank. I know I could rent a generator, but would rather buy something so I have a back up in place should there ever be a...

Thanks to all who responded. The PJC has a very healthy appetite. I do regular water changes. She doesn't seemed perturbed by the other fish at all. Her color doesn't fade at night. She is eating mysis shrimp every night. Would switching to "people" shrimp really make a difference? It...

I have noticed that my Pajama's color are fading. The black band is now grey, and she looks less vibrant than pictures I've seen, and from earlier. She eats pellets in a.m. and mysis in p.m. Is this fading normal, or should I be supplemeting her diet with something else? Thanks very much!

Update 12-01-08 Right now, I have a docile tank and everybody is getting along just swimmingly :D I had some chromis (chromi) but had to return them to the LFS because the clown harassed them. I have 1 false percula, 1 bicolor blenny, 1 citron goby, 1 Pajama Cardinal, and 1 chalk bass. Looking...

Update as of 12-01-08 I had to return the chromis (chromi?) to the LFS. Brought home a chalk bass instead. Right now, everybody is getting along famously!

Looking for something "fish related". Closest I could come to was "Octopus' Garden". Any ideas? Thanks! m-c

Yes, the chromi are blue-green. Thanks for the insight. I like the horsehoe shape idea.

Thanks very much for all the advice, all you shrinks out there! Great video! I may look into adding more rock, reconfiguring my set up, or returning the chromi to the LFS. Everything was fine until they showed up. The Clown is cool with the Blenny, the Goby, and the Cardinal. :D

I have seen references to not running the Protein Skimmer 24-7 or else connecting it to a timer because of the noise issue. Has anyone tried this? Thoughts? I haven't bought my skimmer, but am very constrained in my choice because I have a Clear for Life Uniquarium, and the LFS warned me that...

Citron Goby ate zucchini! I've been putting nori on a ciip for my blenny, but today decided to try zucchini after reading about it on this site. Tonight, when all the lights were out, I caught Mercedes (Goby) furiously munching on the zucchini. Gobies are, after all, both herbivores and...

I tried putting some mysis in a shell in the area she hangs in - away from the current, but the food didn't stay in the shell and she didn't get any. I removed the shell after eating and decided to put it in the tank every feeding time so she'll associate it with food. But have to figure out...
