Thanks for the replies guys. I'm going to look for those today at the LFS, or something similiar. Hopefully I'll end up finding something that he likes. Mainly I feed mysis but I have also been using this other stuff that comes in a little bottle and you squirt a pump of it in the tank a...

You might be right. It had crossed my mind but I still get dissappointed every time I see him swim by food. I'm going to try the lettuce. You know, I'd seen a very large aquarium at the mall once where they had put pieces of brocoli in the tank and the fish were definitely nippin' at it. I'd...

Hello, I've got a 100 gallon saltwater tank with 150 lbs or rock. The tank has been up and running since 12/06. Water parameters are perfect. For the last 4 months, the tanks inhabitants have been 1 blue tang, 1 bi color psuedo, 1 true perc, and 1 scooter blenny along with a cleaner shrimp...

Thanks guys, I think I'm going to go ahead and add some more live rock. I'm probably going to go with around 20-25 lbs in there. Sounds like this will work. I also really like the busy look.

I just set up a 12 gallon aquapod. Instead of the bioballs and other media I used live rock fragments. I'm still using the bag of carbon that came with it per the stores instructions. Right now there is 6 lbs of live sand in there and a 5 or 6 lbs piece of live rock. I'm planning on adding...

Well, the Yellow Tang that died was $35, the Flame Angels were about $50 each, the Anthias were A LOT as there were 4 of the, so about $85 for those. The Copperband was on sale for $22. Aww, why'd you make me thinkg of how much money I've lost!!! Its looking like one of the main conclusions...

I'm glad to hear the Devil's Hand is doing its normal thing. I was worried there for a bit. It looks completely different when its sloughing. I'm pretty sure they are not flatworms; the picture might make it look that way. The spots are rust colored and they look like little stains. They...

It does not drop significantly, the heaters kick right in. I actually do hang dry seaweed strips, just forgot to mention that one. Actually, as a side question, do you guys now how long a package of those last? Mine came in a plastic, clamshell container and I've had it for a few months...

Thanks for the replies guys. Well I just tested my water a couple of days ago and the results were pretty much confirmed by a local LFS Ammonia - 0 PH - 8.1 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - 0 (It really is 0 or near 0, I didn't think this was that possible but adding a fuge dropped this figure to 0)...

I pretty much just float the bag. I tried drip acclimating once but with the way my tank is setup it was a mess. I'm not sure if acclimation is the issue because the fish survive for at least 2 weeks before dying. If it were, wouldn't they show signs of stress much earlier? This is...
