Shameless bump . . . really need to sell!!

If that's what it looks like when it's completely expanded, could it be a carpet anemone? Certainly doesn't look like most BTA's that I've seen.

It looks like you need to battle this problem from a couple different angles. First: Your RO/DI water should register 0 for phosphate. You might want to look into replacing your DI membrane. That should solve that problem. If that's not the source, your salt mix may have phosphates. I would...

Although I do agree with some of macman's advice, I STRONGLY encourage you to NEVER treat your main tank with copper. If you were to dose copper, the chances of ever being able to have an invert in the tank are very low. Copper absorbs into the LR, seams, etc and can leach out over time. It...

Nope, sounds like you're really hitting the spike. The bacteria will reproduce and consume that ammonia and nitrite, you just have to be patient. Looks like you have 2-3 weeks to go until you're cycled! Good luck! tripper

I don't believe you will have enough LR to sustain a mandarin. Unless you can find one that is eating frozen food (very rare), I believe he would die a slow death. A general rule is 1 mandarin per 100 lbs of LR . . . and that only counts if you don't have other fish that feed off of pods as well.

I am selling my 72G bowfront. I have really enjoyed the tank but do not have the time to maintain it. The livestock is very healthy and the tank has been set up since June 2004. Everything is in great shape, the only issue I have is a hair algae outbreak. I have been doing a number of PWCs...

I see you're in PA . . . where exactly and what LFS were you in? I've had a similar situation at a LFS neary me in Philly. tripper

The fish can go up to 2 weeks without eating. It's not suggested, but it can survive. If it's starting to scratch on the rocks, you might be looking at the onset of ich. However, if you have not seen any signs, you could potentially be looking at velvet. Is the fish in QT right now? The...

From what I have read, no two dwarf angels can be housed together unless you have a very large tank. You might be able to get away with a dwarf angel and a normal angel, but you tank probably isn't large enough for that. Just a little advice. Your fish list, even before these additions, is...

Hmmmmm, from the sounds of it, all tank specs seem in order. It might just be the fish adjusting to the tank. You said it was in QT for 2 weeks. How long ago was it added to the main tank? If very recently, it might just be adjusting. Did you do the same acclimation when going from the QT...

Can you give us some info about your tank? Specifically: Tank size LR? How much? Water Parameters: Ammonia Nitrite Nitrate pH Salinity Temp How did you acclimate the fish? Was he eating in the LFS when you bought it? If you can help us out with those questions we should be able to help you...

I would be really concerned having 3 tangs in a tank that size. I think you are pushing your bioload with that many fish, and you also may have some aggression issues. Also, you shouldn't have 2 dwarf angels in the same tank. They will be aggresive towards each other. I would suggest...

Looks like a tunicate. Pretty common hitchhiker.

All the fish you have listed are reef safe. That light should give you plenty of light to do just about anything you want, except high light SPS and probably Clams. Both of those typically require MH lighting. tripper

I have 2 in my 72G and want to get more! I think they are a blast to have in the tank. The best part is when I have my hand in the tank to do any maintenance, the shrimp jump onto my hand and start cleaning me!!! tripper

Snail grow their own shell, so you will not need any extra shells in your tank. The only time you would need extra shells is for hermit crabs as they grow. They steal the shells from other hermits and snails when they need a bigger home. I do not know anything about the growth rate and...

I feed every other day . . . and sometimes once every third day. All my fish seem very happy with this schedule.

Jason, I see you are from King of Prussia . . . I live in Conshohocken. There is a GREAT fish store about 45 minutes away from us that has all kinds of very healthy corals, and a frag section that has tons of small frags that range from $5 - $20. Check out this website www.toofishy.com. I...

I believe flame scallops have a very poor survival rate in the home aquarium because we can not recreate their feeding requirements. They are indeed interesting animals and are completely reef safe, but I'm not sure how long it would live in a tank. tripper

I've never seen a chocolate chip star with that coloration. Typically CC stars are brown with darker bumps on the body. I have a feeling it is something different. You might want to try posting in the Identification forum and see what people think. tripper

The only other tang that I have heard is acceptable in a tank that size is the Kole Tang. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think that and the Yellow are the only ones that can go in a 55G tank, but of course, a 75G would be better. tripper
