most dottybacks eat shrimp! My splendid dotty ate a cleaner twice its size. good luck

it's almost impossible to remove by hand. It's soft, and extremely slippery. Any pressure and they just pop...which probably results in it spreading. It's very frustrating :evil:

any guesses on how to controll it? it is beginning to take over my tank.

anyone...anyone?

This stuff is slowly appearing on every piece of live rock I have...please advise! It has also found a home on my birdsnest coral...I try to pull it off the rocks, but most of it just "pops" and is difficult to remove.

My dottyback rubs against the rocks all day long...and he A-ok.

I'd like to know myself...I think I have the same thing. It is grownig very quickly!

is there a general rule of how large a sump should be? What would be an ideal size sump for a 125 gal? Muchas!

hmmm...seems that the forams are perhaps a little small. The piece of "stuff" in the picture is about 2 inches wide and 1 to .5 inches tall. They are growing extremely fast. That you see is maybe 1 month of growth. There is actually a small piece growing on my bird's nest coral. It feels...

they're both the same stuff, but the light makes them look a little different. The pics are fuzzy, but i'll take a few more and hopefully it'll help. thanks

anyone Id this? good or eeeevil? Gracias!

if the acronym is underlined, you can place your mouse pointer over it for a second and it will use english :) so If you put your mouse pointer over lfs a box will pop up and say "local fish store." I hope this helps.

My star polyps took about 2 days to come out, but even then they were just barely peeking out. It took about a week for them to fully open up.

another thing...scrap the cleaner shrimp! My dottyback proceeded to obliterate my 2 cleaners. One was small, and became a bite-sized morsel, the other was bigger than my dotty, and he killed it last weekend while I was in Vegas. Guess he missed me. Hope he enjoyed his two $20 meals! grrrr...

I have a splendid dottyback and a maroon clown that do well together. The dottyback was the only fish in the tank for about a month, and the maroon had just enough attitude to pull it off when I added him. They are fine now. I am also trying to find a new fish that is mean enough to be added...

What is a good web site for buying corals... that won't sell me snake oil. I'm a little weary of what i'll recieve, but it seems to be a popular way to aquire nice corals. Thanks!

can't use a glass cutter for something that small. If you happen to have a belt sander, that is the easiest way to trim down glass...just sand the edges down...It'll eat through the belts quickly, so have extra.

Born, raised, and living in Austin!

I've seen them 'bond' with flower pot corals, colt corals, plate corals, and hairy mushrooms. the shrooms are probably the easiest to care for and cheapest to buy :)

still...let's just use 200. If you divide that by 4.4 it's still over 40ppm. In some people's opinions, that's a LOT of nitrate. However, there are many fish, and inverts in these tanks I mentioned...not just coral.

best way to lower nitrates is water change.

just givin' you a hard time biotox :wink: I knew you were joking. is having Nitrate 0 a bad thing? Does a reef need it?
