...just after i turn the lights on i see a strange little guy. he's on my LR, about the same diameter as a 25cents or 10p piece. its got about 10 "arms" all with little feather type ends and just after i turn the light on i see him eating?? each arm comes from being "out"...goes into its "mouth"...

had her about 2 weeks. all params are fine, i checked while she was hiding in the back, one the day she died and have been doing daily since just in case. my other little guy seems to be doing fine. the day b4 she went she started lookin like she was breathing really fast and almost looked...

hey, ive had my clowns now for two weeks. they both seem happy with eachother and have taken to a shaded area between the rocks on the sand bed. the bigger (female) has been quite happily just staying upright on the sand bed for the past couple of days. the male visits her every now and then and...

lol...yeah, i know there is no guarantee...there is hope tho huh :) im just wondering if they DO pair and hoast what signs am i looking out for?? Andrea

how will i know when they have paired...and then when they have hoasted?? they are swimming around happily together sometimes and apart sometimes. more so together i s'pose. ive not seen any bullying from the bigger to confirm her place as female but she is almost double the size of the little...

Hey, I agree with everyone about the plug and play. Like i was saying at the start of this thread you'll probably, like me, want to replace a lot of the things you get in this deal because the quality is not going to house the things you want. It is much easier and everything fits together...

there is a toadstool in there too so maybe that will appeal to them...to be honest tho it actually looks like they are favouring the HEATER so far!!! which, typically, is right at the back and hidden by everything else. so we'll see. are there any other corals you would suggest to get to imitate...

i jst added two clowns to my tank, which has a frogspawn (for them)...crossing everything that they pair up and hoast it andrea

Firstly, welcome. Secondly...listen to these guys on here, they know their stuff!! Read, read, read and research everything before you buy it or take any steps. Make sure you understand how to cycle your tank. Plan ahead for your ultimate goal...what would you like in your tank? If your LFS...

thanks guys, its kinda fun to watch...when u walk over to tank it shoots bak in lol..its like a game to get close enough lol

hey guys, had my frogspawn in for just over a week now and ive noticed three small round furry guys who suck back in when spooked. lookin on the hitchhiker guide it looks like a type of feather duster and tells me this is a beneficial filter feeder. im fine with them being there however they...

hey guys, im havin trouble gettin my layout right. my rocks are really hard shapes and sizes to work with and with them all being different types it doesnt look very natural. im jst posting a pic to see what u all think, feel free to please give advice on moving rocks/corals around to improve...

what kinda gloves??

it looks even more impressive today...its really come out...still not as much as in the shop but its a good looking little thing. i was wondering about moving it, to somewhere with a little less flow, i was just about to stick my hand in the tank and didn't even think if it can sting or if i...

alrighty, ill have a play around when i get in tonight, i was thinking myself that it was getting a bit too much so im glad you confirmed that. im going to try somewhere more central, seen as its so pretty. its also not opened as much as it was in the store, but understandable i s'pose seen as...

DSCF8721.jpg here ya go, its not been in long and does open out much more than this. thanks, andrea

hey, does anyone have any experience with a coloured honey coral?? andrea

lol...i love the description, it made me laugh out loud! he looks even better tonight. it was like a major tantrum. at night he used to jst close up and shrink a bit but the past week was just a total flop...like u said "losing air". i wish LFS would warn us of the moods of these crazy things...

when i got home today he is starting to look slightly bigger, not as flopped over and one of two polyps are starting to come out...phew!

hey, yeah i read about this. so do they shed AND slough??? shed is the top layer coming off and slough is just being moody and flopping for a while?? he's been flopped (sloughed) for about a week now, is that normal?? im wanting to slowly add a few more corals, i think my next will be a...

hey guys, ive posted a few times about this moody little guy. here's the update. amonia - 0 nitrite - 0 nitrate - 0 ph - 8.2 in a 64litre, which i think calculates to 17G. with two 24" T5 lights. they are on for about 9 hours a day. temp is 73f. erm.....more info....ive got 6KG of LR. one...

i have two random little guys like this, they are growing very very very slowly and sometimes open a little tiny bit, maybe one day they will get bigger...hmmm??

i got two T5 bulbs from my LFS, with a transformer....the LFS showed me how to fashion it to fit inside my current hood so it looks awesome. two T5s IMO is plenty for the tank ive got and will pretty much do me forever. the only down side to T5s is that u have to replace the bulb each year. you...

oh right, thanks....and phew!! there is another little toadstool, with the head the size of a penny, that was also attached to the LR i bought the big one on. ive moved him to another part of the tank to try and balance it out a bit and he seems to be doing fine...so hopefully the bigger one...
