I have a 30" tall 50 gallon with two pipe fish, gorgonian corals and four black Brazilian seahorses (H. Reidi), two female and two male. I got a surprise when I checked the tank last Thursday morning; a tank full of seahorse fry. I got all of them into a 5 gallon and they were looking great...

Oh, and if the trigger won't work out, what do suggest to go with a semi aggressive maroon clown?? :wink: Thanks Again Dan

Maybe we are talking about a different trigger. This is the one I'm looking at: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=255 As far as tank size they say 70 gallon, I assume that is for an adult fish, at the lengh of a foot??? My plan was to get one 2" or so. If it out...

I've had a rose bulb anemone and a maroon clown in my community tank for a couple of years now. Everyone got along fine untill the recent addition of a lemon peel angel. My clown got very aggressive and nearly killed his new tank mate... :evil: I moved the clown and his anemone to a new 30...

Thanks Steve! Kinda cool getting 'free stuff' from time to time... :)

Found this guy on some base rock today. Pretty sure it's a starfish??? about 1/2" across. Any idea where he came from? I have a sand shifting star, can they multiply/give birth/lay eggs???

I'm by no means an expert, but I would not move him. May do more damage than good. I have a bta as well, and mine did the same thing. Turned out he was hungry. Try feeding him some silversides or even frozen brine shrimp. I did, and he came back out and is healthy as ever. I had thought all...

My lfs has one that I have a hold on. He's about 2 to 2 1/2 inches. I know these guys eat inverts in the wild and I am wondering if it's a good idea to put him in my tank with my cleaner shrimp. The cleaner is actually the same size or bigger than the lion. I'm thinking of getting a few ghost...

I have two shrimp in my 51 gallon corner tank as well as 3 tangs and damsels. I also have a purple gregorian coral and everyone is healthy and doing well. The cleaner shrimp and camel shrimp shed their skin on a regular basis about once every 3 weeks. I have been chasing the skins around every...

Thanks for all the help guys! And thanks for Karen's site as well. I did a 20% water change and that seemed to perk him up a bit. After reading up on Karen's site, I decided to try feeding him. I had some enriched frozen brine shrimp in the freezer, and managed to get it past the fish :roll...

Thanks for the help. Is that his foot in the picture? I'm just concerned as he is about 3" across now, and when he was fully in the light he was at least 6"-7" I sure hope he's ok. I moved the rock he was on as he was completly in the shade, now he's getting light. Good idea, or bad...

Here's a pic of him, sorry for the poor quality. See how small he is? And he's kind of "hanging" by his foot???

I have had a rose bulb anenome in the tank for about a month now. He's been healthy, curls up at night and comes out with nice full bulbs when the high output floresents are on. Yesterday, he went on the move and moved about 10" to another rock. When I got home from work today, at first I...

You can, but you'll still probably have to adjust it a bit. They're just not a set it and forget it piece of equipment. Still have to check on them from time to time to insure they are getting the right amount of gunk in the cup...

Exactaly... :wink: Wait a few days to empty the cup. Don't clean the riser part completly, just a quick rinse, or you have to start the break in all over... And smell what you dump; it be Nasty!!! :oops:

PERFECT! :D That's what you're looking for. Just watch it and to be sure it keeps it up. It does take some fiddeling to get the most out of it... :)

the "I" is just a plug. It allows no air to get in the tube, and therefore, water only. The "II" is open to the cup. It basically just acts a muffler to keep it a bit quieter. IMO, perfect is clear water at the O ring and bubbles above in the neck of the cup. You won't get anything for a...

One other thing: It makes kind of a chattering sound when your on I. Switch to II when the water is flowing well, and you'll get a bunch of really fine bubbles in the chamber...

I just double checked mine, and yes, the II nipple for sure. I is for priming, to get the water started up the intake. After it's flowing, switch to II so you get air in the impeller. It makes a big difference in the flow and amount of air that gets sucked in. If I have white/clear foam, I...

I'm running the same skimmer and I found it takes a bit of adjusting to get it to skim "dry foam". Just keep playing with it until you start getting nasty gunk in the cup. If you're getting clear water, really fast, it's too far open. Nothing in the cup, too little flow. I does take a few days...

Two Blue Devil Damsels, one Domino Damsel and one false Percula Clown. They all get along for the most part. The only action is when the damsels chase each other around at times. I also have a Coral Beauty Angel, a Yellow Tang and a Blue Tang. All fish were added separately, and each became...

OK, I put a nice false percula clown in my tank about a month ago. He was doing well, but seemed a bit stressed. He just swam up and down one corner of the tank. I figure he misses his anemone, so I go to the LFS and find a nice rose bulb anemone. Put him in the tank on a nice piece of base...

OK, I know it's my fault for putting these two guys together, but does anyone have any suggestions how I could keep my Coral Beauty Angel from nipping at my newly added Purple Brush Ggorgonian? I gave him some live brine shrimp, and that seemed to slow him down. Thanks Dan

Cool! It just seemed like it went fast, and the ammonia never really spiked. I guess the sand and rock did it's job :D So far everyone is getting along pretty well. The bigger of the two Blue Devil Damsels has been picking on my Domino damsel :evil: from day one. He took a run at the Clown a...
