I think I need to dig through the CC and see if there are any more still alive. I think he was stuck/trapped under a decorative coral that hadn't been moved in a while. Amazing.

We started with 6 tiny little blue leg hermit crabs back in April or so. Over the months we watched them grow, transfer to new larger shells... then one day they started to dissapear. The last sighting was almost 1 1/2 - 2 months ago. Last night we were lounged in front of the tank watching our...

Yeah, I have yet to see a fat yellow tank at the LFS... they are usually scary thin.. Like Six-Line said, tangs are grazers... keep em' fed :)

Chromis are much more aggressive fish. If your clown IS eating then you don't have too much to worry about... as long as your feeding nutrient rich foods and not just brine shrimp or something like that. Consider offering a variety of different foods. Mix up the diet a bit.

Ours eats just about anything. He likes the Formula brand foods a lot. He even goes after the nori once in a while. When you say "come to the top to grab food"... what are you feeding? We have enough flow that the food is sent all over the tank at feeding time.

Our tang and flame angel get fresh nori (3 different types rotated) every morning. Our clown even takes a chuck out occaisionally. The tang is very fat and healthy.

We have bio balls every where... the overflow and PH's

We picked up a neon goby last week and with in hours he was cleaning our yellow tang. Way cool to watch :) What are the odds that our Flame Angel will offer himself up for a cleaning session? Not that he needs it... would just be cool... heh. It seems I remember reading some where that they...

We have CC in a FO tank w/o LR. It's not too bad once you get into the vac routine. We do it weekly along with a water change. Becareful not to over feed. We may switch to sand when we move in about 6-8 months but the CC is working just fine.

His starfish had 16 babies about 3-4 weeks ago if any one is looking LOL

My brother inlaw lives in Tampa and has a large 8' x 3' x 40" acrylic tank built into a wall. The tank is old and leaking. He has been patching it up for a while now but it's gotten to "that" point of needing to be replaced. He is considering a glass 10' x 3' x 30" (40 inches is a bit too...

I take a small chunk of formula 1,2,or angel and push it into a crevice of a rock. It dissoves more slowly and the angel always picks it all out

heh... we lined ours with bio balls just in case

This is the best I can do so far

It took us a few days to figure out were the little devil was hidding. Around 8-8:30 every night he would just flat out disappear *poof*. In the morning he would suddenly reappear a half hour or so after the lights would come on. One morning a sat staring at the tank... waiting. I looked a way...
