Great aquascape, it will look great with corals

Congrats on the baby! Thanks for the update, I am looking forward to more pictures. It all looks great so far.

Looks incredible, the coloring is awesome!

In my HOB I took my filter pad and carbon out and added purigen and an extra bag of ceramic rings. I have a filter pad on my intake to keep the big particles as well as baby shrimp out. U

I haven't had to clean out a tank that bad but I think most people say plain vinegar and elbow grease work best. Good Luck! Let us see how it all turns out.

Dr. Fosters and Smith is one that sells new tanks

I use prime in my shrimp tank. They are healthy and still reproduce regularly.

Has the pistol and YWG paired up yet? Many will say you don't need a clean up crew and that they are just for looks. Others prefer them so it is really up to you. Don't get too large a cuc because many will starve. I don't know much about lighting but you should look up rapidled.com. They make...

I like the arches and openings in the rock

I just went to dr fosters smith website. I've wanted a bio cube for awhile and wanted to do a reef with it. $389.99 seems like a good price for the JBJ 28 intermediate. I've seen several cubes on craigslist for around $200-$300 but they are usually dirty, don't have LEDs and I don't know what...

I'm sorry about your dwarf puffer! I used to have one, they are great. Unfortunately I don't know what is wrong with yours. There is a dwarf puffer information website but I can't remember the name and another forum called thepufferforum that might be able to help. Sorry I don't know more!

Reefs2go.com has a buy one get one free deal on pods right now.

Red cherry shrimp are easy to care for and reproduce quickly. As long as you have enough hiding spots the shrimp will still reproduce. Guppies will eat baby shrimp but if you have enough cover the colony will still grow.

Most the places I have seen are really expensive. Old town aquarium has red cherries for $7 or $8 a piece! I bought mine from eBay and aquabid for less than a dollar each. Schaumburg has a place called Aquarium Adventure which is large and has many nice tanks both fresh and salt. It's worth it...

Are there fish in the tank? Most will eat the tiny shrimp but if you have lots of hiding places and plants some will survive. In an established tank with plants the baby shrimp don't need any special care. They will find food on the plants, substrate and glass. I would also put a sponge or...

I didn't have time to go this season and I'm in Florida for Christmas this year so I'll have to wait until next year unfortunately. Did you go see the tree in the walnut room at Macys (it will always be Marshall Fields for some)?

I have had Endlers and chili rasboras. I think the Endlers ate more shrimp then the rasboras did.

They have some really impressive ornaments there! I'd love to have some of those stein glasses as well.

I thought I followed directions perfectly but clearly I was wrong and must have used too much bleach when recharging purigen. I soaked it in prime and water for over a day and rinsed it out for what seemed like a very long time because I wanted to be extra safe. Then I used more prime but even...

Looks great, lots of color! What kind of clown is that?

I agree, looks great!

Your tank looks wonderful!

Hi Mike! Welcome! I plan on setting up a saltwater tank soon myself. There are a ton of knowledgable people who belong to this forum that have lots of advice and experience to offer. Read as much as possible on here for a little while and decide what direction you want to take it then create a...

Awesome job, your tank looks great.

I think if you have enough hiding spots and plants the little shrimps will be just fine. I have Endlers with my shrimp and occasionally the larger females will go after a baby shrimp but they just dart right out of the way. The cories should leave the shrimp alone and you'll end up with tons of...
