How long do you leave your lights on? Also, getting some more cleaners would help manage it. Mike

Very nice. I love those cleaner shrimp. :D

Indeed, more pwc's in a 30g. I've used skimmers in every system I owned, and it does cut down on maintenance for sure.

Subd :popcorn:

Perfect!

Just keep in mind that triggers do like to nibble on live rock and can make a mess..I had a mellow trigger that never bothered anything else in my tank. I would say no if you have inverts in there as they can be unpredictable.. Mike

What size tank do you have?

I would defnitely consider at least a small bakpak type skimmer..what kind of lighting do you have for the anemone? Mike

One thing to keep in mind is that a 29g will have quick temperature swings and less room for error if something goes wrong. I kept a couple of tangs in a 120g tank, but was taller than usual. The tang would defintely be happier in a 6ft tank. Mike

Absolutely! This is a very slow moving hobby if you want to be successful. Glad to see you moved over to the dark side..muhahahaha. You'll love it.

One important thing I can suggest is to make sure the rock you put in there will be glued down. Sharks have a tendency to knock these down and can injure themselves. Lastly, I know a cat shark requires a minimum of 180g, but if you plan on keeping it through adult life, I would shoot for more of...

Thanks Fort. The site looks great as always. I'm looking forward to getting back into the hobby, or addiction as some would call it..:brows: I kinda had a mixed bag last time with fowler and some reef..taking my time with this one. Mike

I have had a lot going on over the years, and had to leave the hobby for a while. I'm going to be setting up a new tank in the near future, probably somewhere around 240-300g size..haven't decided yet. I look forward to chatting with you all. Regards, Mike :cool:

Thanks all. The eel was safely moved in a 16 gallon tupperware tub last night. Sorry for the delay..I have been moving all week and saved the best for last. These moves are never easy! Happy Holiday's! Regards, Mike

Hello all - It's been a while since I've posted here, but I know I can always count on you guys to help. I am in the process of moving locally and need to break down my 120g tank. I have moved several times, but this will be the first eel I have ever moved and I want to make sure I remove him...

No worries. I have seen the way he takes the silversides off the stick. I would never stick my finger in there. :eek: Regards, Mike

I'll take one this weekend. He's still a little shy, but he is awesome. Poor thing is so blind..he's tried taking the stick to his den with him a couple of times..lol Regards, Mike

I agree. The brown rust colored stuff is typically diatom blooms. One thing that I have learned over the years is don't stir it up, and let it die on its own. I agree that water changes will help reduce diatoms as well. Make sure water flow is as strong as it needs to be (75x10=750gph). HTH...

One more thing. I think having a show or videos would also help educate enthusists around the world. Mike

I second that. I think that would be awesome to have that online. I would watch them all the time. You have my vote! Regards, Mike
