Thanks for the input!!!! Water changes are not a problem for us. I usually have up to 20 gallons of filtered R/O/D/I h2o on hand....I will look into some otos and a snail or 2.

My daughter started a 10 gallon tank about 2 months ago. It is cycled and ready to go for more livestock. Currently it has 5 small tetras and 1 small frog. I don't think she can add too much more to the tank, but wants some sort of algae eater. What do you reccomend? I am a reef tank...

I have been advised that this snail is a turban snail. The scoop is they do better in cooler tanks and are non invasive snails. That would explain why they only come out when the lights are off. I ahve been told that some folks have failed to keep them alive due to the temperature situation...

Is it harmful, if so what does it eat? This is the first time I have been able to get a good picture of it. I know I have 2 of them and they only come out at night. I just installed moon lights, so now I can see them clearly.

Kevin, You always have the answers. Thanks a ton! I am about to do a water change and will give it a try as I am removing water. BTW, all the advice that you have given me in the past or I have read that you have given others has always worked. Now if you can let me know where to get...

I only have 3 bubbles of the stuff, but they have grown pretty big. They are about the size of a small marble. When they were smaller, I purchased 2 emerald crabs, they didn't eat the algae, so I added 2 more. The bubble algae is still there. I tried to pull them off the rock, but it seems...

:P

:twisted: A couple days ago I shut down my pumps to apply some Joes Juice and was not concentrating on the water level of my sump. Then I heard the sound of water pouring out of somewhere. Low and behold, my sump was overflowing. I never thought that this would happen due to the placement...

He didn't kill them, but has them hiding under the rocks to the point they don't want to come out. He actually bit off part of the antenas. I will let you know what happens next. BTW, I do keep seaweed in the tank most of the day for the Tang.

:?: Has anyone ever had theirs do the same thing? I thought that Yellow Tangs were herbavores. Well, if that is the case, mine is not typical. I guess I can keep some seaweed around all the time as a diversion. Other than being concerned about feeding the Tang a very expensive Shrimp...

thanks things are looking up :D My Gornipora is now extending it's polyps and so is the Xenia. I also noticed that the green haze algea has a much slower rate of buildup now. Thanks for the advice everyone... Now time to rebuild the coral inventory.

What is Joe's Juice? What is Joe's Juice? Or should I be afraid to ask? Remember this is a family forum. :P

I have an 80 gallon salt water tank with 2x250w Mh lights plus 2x75w VHO lights. I discovered today that my surface temperature is about 5 degrees warmer than my sump temp.. I have put a couple fans in my canopy today to see if that controls the temp better. My question is: should I leave the...

Looking Good James!!! :D It is a bit big. But it will look great when you get your 250 gallon tank. LOL

I guess I will have to enjoy while it lasts. My tank is relatively new, so I can easily plan on putting something else where the FlowerPot is. Thanks, SDF :D

Most people say it will die. I have had mine for 2 and half month and going strong. don't ask me why.

The polyps were open more when the VHO Atentics were on, then when the MH lights started up it shrank down more. I have before pictures, but can not post them because they are to high of s resolution. I can e-mail them it anyone wants to see. Thanks, Steve O.K. I relocated it deeper. It...

How much light is too much light for Frog Spawn coral. Mine is about 10 inches deep in the tank and the 250w MH are 8 inches above the surface of the water. I do keep the lids on the top of the tank. The Frog Spawn I have has two branches. The top branch which receives more light is turning...

Garlic? James, do you have my work number? Give me a ring if you do, if not I will e-mail it to you. We don't have IM here.

Is there anything else I should consider giving him than Nori? He seems to enjoy the Nori, but I am not sure if he needs anything in addition to that. I appreciate your quick responses. I think the tang probably does too.

I thought that he looked a bit too slender too. I have already been to the lfs and picked up a clip for the nori and other vegis. We make our own nori rolls so we had that on hand. The lfs mentoined borccoli and banana as good things to feed him too. Thanks for the quick reply!!!!

Here is a quick photo Let me know if you can view it. Thanks, Steve

Has anyone seen this before? I think they could be raw from gnawing at the LR, or maybe he got stung a little. He is swimming around as usual, his gills are puffing at normal rates, his color is as vibrant as normal, basically he is a acting just fine. I think he is fine, but it doesn't hurt...

I think the Xenia is going to make it. It is developing little bumps that will probably become new polyps. There are some of the little polyps left that the damsels never ate, so they are going to grow too. Thanks James.

I caught him with a trap. I stuck the Xenia in the trap and he went for it. Thanks for all the suggestions.
