At first they were a little bit aggressive. One would stake out a bit of territory and chase the other if he/she came near. That lasted a couple of days. Now they appear to be friends... If that's possible. They follow each other around the tank constantly and I have even come down in the...

I thought it was. He/She is beautiful. All inhabitants seem to be doing well and full of energy. I am having my doubts about whether the Cowries have enough to eat. They have cleared through my substrate algae/diatoms and are a lot less mobile recently. They are always somewhere different...

Just thought Id share some pics of the early additions to my tank. (100g FOWLR with 15g fuge and 15g sump) I am a bit limited as to what I buy as my LFS doesnt speak English. CUC for example has proved to be a major pain. When I asked for crabs they stared blankly (none of them have any in...

Thanks for the help! It would appear the question is now moot as my black clown has made it's home in the vicinity of said object and has been pecking at it for the last few days. Unless it has retreated far, far back into its hole in the rock, it would appear to be deceased, dead, gone, an...

Hello All, I am Bill and have just signed up to this great forum after many months as a lurking reader... Sorry. I am English but moved to China (Shanghai) a few years ago and don't see myself leaving anytime soon. I inherited a 100g tank from a friend who was leaving China and this sparked...

oh yeah - one more thing. Does the output from the refrugium need to be filtered (DIY filter - Protein Skimmer) or should it go straight back into the display tank?

Hi All, First off an enormous thank you to the hundreds of posters/experts on here who have, over the past few months, guided this newbie from total ignorance to a very basic (and probably quite dangerous) level of understanding. Really is much appreciated. And now to test what, I think, I...
