My Copperband Butterfly fish has been good to me. Ive had him for 6 months now and he ate up all my aptasia. Ive heard these fish are tough to keep. I got a lucky one

Hey guys. I have recently bought Joes Juice to kill off my aiptasia's. I applied the mixture onto the mouth and was amazed to see it disappear. Little did I know. The things were right back in there. The same aiptasias back in action. Am I doing something wrong or is Joes Juice supposed to be a...

I have a raccoon butterfly in my 55g. Wouldve loved to put him in my 20L to mow down the aptasia's but my BTA's would probably get eaten also. hahaha

Whats weird is that I live all the way out here in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and none of my LFS ever carried peppermint shrimps. That sucks! None of them heard of Joes Juice either. Ive researched it and found their website. Looks good. I'll try that. But for sure it wont harm my BTA's...

Hey guys. Its been a while since ive been on. Here's the situation. I have a 20L with live rocks and 3BTA along with 2 Clowns. I have a sudden bloom of aptasia growing crazy all over my LR. How do I rid the pests without harming the BTA's? Ur help is greatly appreciated. TIA

Well. I have 2 RBTA's and 1 green BTA. The other is a purple condy? HTH.

Hey everyone. Just wondering if anyone knows how to split a anemone to get clones? This might be a stupid question but I've had my 3 BTA's for about 6 months and they are doing very well. Just want more of them. Any suggestions? TIA

I did a partial water change before putting it in the tank and had it acclimating for about 1 hour. It's been 4 days. At first he was moving around the tank away from the light way in the back, then noticed it coming towards the front yesterday. I plan to do another water change tomorrow. About...

Is my anemone splitting? If so, do I still feed it or should I wait till they are ready?

A 15 gallon Eclipse System 12. I think its 15 maybe 20. It comes with PC lights installed. I think the lighting is just right. The anemones are at the middle of the tank. When I put them in, they were at the top, but after adjusting themselves they moved to the middle, midway to the top.

Is it a bad idea to have those fish in the same tank? :?: What is a regal? All the fish are juveniles and when they get big they will eventually go into my 180g. My anemones are in a small tank with 1 maroon clown. I'm still new to this. What should I watch out for? TIA

Check out this site. I hope it helps. Shows a diagram of how to install it and a short mpeg of it running. AMAZING!! http://www.melevsreef.com/closedloop.html

Hey guys. Picked up 2 more RBTA's for my small tank. Was wondering if they need moderate to strong water flow? I put a small powerhead in the corner of the tank facing the front having the current disperse throughout the tank. Is this okay? Oh and another thing, not quite clear on a question I...

Doe's it look like this pic here? The rock on the far left?

Hey guys. Can anyone tell me what kind of clownfish would host my condy? I've been trying to find some links to lookup on but couldn't find one specifically on condy's and clownfish. So far my Maroon clown is hosting my BTA. I have the 2 anemones in the same tank but eventually will take the...

Hey guys. I have a problem. I've been using a thermometer type of hydrometer and just bought a Instant Ocean hydrometer by marinelabs. The readings are totally off on both. Which one is more reliable? This thing driving me nuts. TIA

Thanks lando. I'm using PC for my lighting. It came standard with the tank setup I have. So far it's looking good but as for the color it's supposed to be, I'm not sure. It looks as if it's supposed to be off white or maybe white for that matter. Thanks for clearing up the matter that...

Welcome to AA :) I've been finding very helpful information on this forum with the best people you can possibly imagine. Have you tried looking it up on google images? Most of the time if I can't get a picture of what i'm looking for, I'll try google. Hope that helps.

I bought it from a guy that lives up the road from me on Saturday. He told me that it was bleaching and told me to feed it some raw pieces of thawed shrimp every other day till the colors come back. Will that be okay? This might be another idiotic question but is a silverside the skin of fish or...

Here's a pic I thought I should share.

I almost had a panic attack. I went to my LFS today and asked if I should use trace elements for my anemone and they recommended Seachem Reef Complete. They said it will help with the calcium, magnesium, and strontium to keep my anemone healthy. I did a partial water change and added a cap full...

Hey guys. I'm very happy that I have my first BTA.This might be a stupid question but does the anemone close up when the lights turn off? I know that they need strong lights but what what about down time? TIA

Would the CBS take a pick out of my bulb anemone? Just wondering.

It's a dead bleached coral. There's green algae growing on it but the purple looking thing looks like a slime of some sort. I'm charging my camera battery to take a pic and post it. My LFS said it could be because I might have traces of metals in my water. Just wanna make sure thru you folks...

I noticed a small section of what looks like a purplish looking algae or slime on one of rocks corals. I know its not coraline. Do you guys know what that could be? Is it harmful? Where did it come from? TIA
