Wow those wrasses are beautiful. It will be hard to pick. Its funny when you hear that name, it sounds like an ugly fish I can catch in the back bay! Thanks

Thanks. Another question how much more CUC do I need when I do fully stock the tank? If anyone else has any stocking ideas I'd like to hear it. I guess I could have asked how would you stock a 100g?

Ive been set up for a year now and all I have are: 2 false percs 2 pepperment shrimp 1 skunk cleaner 2 emerald crabs 6 turbo snails 6 hermits 4 nassarius snails 1 serpent seastar I have 3" sandbed, 160 lbs live rock and nothing special for lights, hence FOWLR set up. I am going to add more...

I only have live rock, fish and clean up crew. The fish hide when the lights are off. I live on the gulf coast and I was just thinking about when the sun rises and sets here but thanks for the input. I still wonder why they swim diagnal when the lights are off though

I know that one should leave the lights on for about 8 hours a day, but I notice that when the lights are off they hide the whole time. As soon as the lights come on they seem happier and go exploring and swim everywhere. I also noticed that they swim sort of diagnal when the lights are off but...

I had a simialr problem. I started with 4 chromis then added 2 clowns in my 100g. The female is aggressive and picked on the chromis till none were left. I added a blue tang and they get along fine. The female clown will attack my hand when i put seaweed though. The tang is bigger than her so I...

I am in the same boat wanting to replace cc. Tank has been set up since feb. and I wish my lfs didnt push cc on me, I feel he was trying to get rid of it or something..anyway, I am not sure what kind of aragonite sand to use. I noticed there are different sizes? I know not to waste money on live...

I had a similar problem. I have a 100 gallon and I got four when my tank cycled. Two were more dominent and I felt they would not let the other two eat and they would not stay with the group died. Then when I added my two clowns the female clown would not let the last two chromis eat and the two...

I had white moldy looking stuff growing on mine too. I had LR and lace or base rock but it mainly grew on the lace rock when I first started my tank. I talked to my lfs and he said to try the pincushion urchin becuase he will clean the rocks. The white stuff is gone now but I dont know if...

Well now the urchin is sideways and looks like I can see little particles coming out with the smoke like substance out of the top center. I guess I just want to make sure it is not dying on me. could it be "pooping?"

I am new to this forum and cannot find any posts about this. First time setting up a saltwater aquarium and it finally went through its cycle. 100g with sump and 145lb LR 5 snails, 5 tiny hermits, 4 green chromis and a pepermint shrimp. I got a pincushion urchin 3 days ago and it has been very...
