Where you able to get your hands on neothauma shells? I had to settle for escargot shells!

Awesome thanks for the insight everyone, decided to skip the calvus. I hope to order these guys the end of next week so I can be home for delivery! I will make sure to post pics once they agave arrived

Thanks, always love avoiding headaches! I was debating putting a calvus in there, I saw many setups that did that but think I am going to go species only. Any thoughts? Also I see Davesfish.com has them for 8.00 ea, does that sound about right? I am thinking of getting 8? Or should I start with...

Wow I have heard they are prolific breeders! I am beyond excited to watch their behavior, placed the tank right by the couch! Thanks! I have high hopes for the tank now I just need the little guys in there!

Thanks guys! Did quite a bit of research on these fascinating guys! I am hoping the middle rock allows for almost two colonies to take place. I have roughly ~48 shells in there, may get more down the line. 8-10 to start with? What is considered the limit of a tank this size for them, once...

Just setup my 20 long for home to a colony of multis! What do you guys think of the setup? also, how many do you suggest I buy from davesfish to start a colony? Appreciate any feedback!

So I decided I want multis in this tank! Any suggestions how many I should order or a good place to order them from?

Look forward to seeing them! How many would you suggest I get? Any other tank mate or clean up crew with them? And Erik tank looks sharp!

I only hear great things about these fish. Pics would be great to see a setup example for them! Do they breed often? If so, do you just leave them in the main tank?

I was reading an old thread about 'Maltis" and those little buggers seemed cool. Maybe I should not count out shell dwellers, I like that I could fit a good handful of them in this tank.

That does sound like quite the active tank with most columns filled. Has anyone had any experience with the mini lake tang species? I was looking at some of the cookie cutters here : http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/cookie_cutter_20g.php What do you think?

Apistos look great! If I went that route how many would you recommend? Starting with a brand new setup. What other dwarf cichlids could be an option for this setup? I appreciate any of the info, brand new to these guys.

That's what I was thinking. What stock do you think would work best for me? I did a peacock tank before, so I am new to the dwarf side of things

I was there today and noticed that! My issue is I already have the stand that I used to have planted 20 long on, figured I would use the stand. http://www.petco.com/product/119923/Petco-Brooklyn-Metal-Tank-Stand.aspx Pretty sure a 40 cannot work on this, maybe a 37? But I mean, that is just...

Hey AA, I have decided I want to have a cichlid tank again. I used to have a mixed 55 African tank but being in a one bed room apartment space is tight. I have room for a 30" tank and stand. Whether its 20 long or a 29 I am undecided if the 29 is worth it or will the upper column just always be...

I think I may go with the color vega. Is it worth the price? I just feel my metal halides are burning my corals being on for 8 hours.

I would love to see your setup, sounds like the way I need to go!

Shoot really? My girlfriend is a little opposed to me hanging a light from our ceiling in the living room. Why I was looking for a way to use the current housing. Any other options? Kessil an arm mount?

Has anyone done this? Any reccomendations how to go about doing so? I want to keep it in the housing for the current bulb but gut it and place a powerful enough led system for sps. Or any other ways of going about this. Thanks!

I would love to treat the entire tank but it is a reef tank with inverts and I do not want the meds to harm either. Or is this technique just increased temp and increased PWC? Thanks I am sensing hope to fixing this!! :)

So I can put the fish in the same day I fill the QT? Seems scary. I read I need to leave the DT empty for six weeks, will a coral beauty, 2 clowns, a six line, and a yasha be okay in a 20? What is a freshwater dip? Or will ich still be in my tank then?

So.. Ich has now become very present in my bio cube 29. All of my inhabitants show signs of it minus my yasha goby. I have a 20 gallon tall that I can use for a hospital tank, but how do I go about doing this? I figured I'll run my AC hob with just filter floss and a extra heater I have, but how...

Here is a shot of the culprit. I at first dismissed it as diatoms, but read more into it. Oh the woes of being new to reef keeping

So I had a red slime breakout in my biocube reef tank this morning. What is the best solution to this? I heard cerith snails may even eat it? I plan to set up my fuge once I can finally get my hands on chaeto hope that will help it from occurring again.

This is great to hear, do you run it 8 hours also? I run mine 6 and had very little growth and my frogspawn is lacking color. My water parameters are ideal.
