    Hello from Miami

    No there fine just another part of a clean up crew .. But and it's a big but they can be quite aggressive to some of the shy species of fish .. I have added a few emerald crabs and a file fish .. It's quiet funny to watch the crabs grabbing them and trying to remove them from there holes and the...

    Coralline algae and Jar reef

    Why are we feeding coral people ?? I spent weeks feeding my plate coral and wondering why it never came out ... Because I was feeding him . If you turn all your pumps and power heads off when feeding they will pick up enough food to survive and thrive .. Made all these little mistakes and...

    You do things so differently in the states .. But most people only give you there personal experience .. It's like all forums it's nice to be able to read it but only take a base of knowledge and add your own flavour ... Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    I always find placing your rock in the right place takes a few months just get it in start your cycle and once you start stocking it will come to you ... It's sometimes a bit of art work ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Dwarf golden tail eel

    It's illegal to use live fish etc in uk .. Can use river shrimp but I'd rather he would take dead variety of foods ... Is this just another little battle I'll have to carry on doing until he does eat .. To be fair he's only been in a week .. But this was a once in a lifetime find for me and I...

    Can I cut the bottom of a Xenia stalk ?

    Yes you can cut it like grass .. If you want to grow it on glass use some super glue gel to stick it to the glass .. It's like a weed scalpal the bit off the rock and glue it . As for the enenome mine goes round his rock every couple of days they are good fun and I would keep it Sent from my...

    Shark tank?

    Sharks why sharks they need a lot of space ... I would not have sharks in anything less than 4/5 thousand litres and that's pushing it .. Turn it towards the large reef size ... Have two different reefs and a space in the tank between them Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Bubble Algae CUC

    True very true wrong advice .. If you have a target feeder you could use that to suck off the alge without spreading it Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Bubble Algae CUC

    Do a 3 day light turn off that pretty much gets rid of any alge .. Doesn't harm fish or corals .. Works well with red slime alge .. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    If you can keep a watch as much as possible .. Seems funny that the rams would do such a thing but it's nature and that's something we have no answer for .. If you are at all unsure remove remaining rams just leave the pair Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    I think I have over stocked

    No I would say your ok plenty of good live rock but the mandarins don't like to compete for there food so would agree to either fish them out or at very least keep a close eye out for them .. Otherwise just keep doing ammonia tests and keep dosing with some bacteria you should be ok .. But as...

    Overstocked?

    Overstocking is a big word in new tanks .... Rule of thumb shouldn't need to do weekly water changes on tropical tank , if you have good flow rate should be ok .. If you want to keep on with the weekly changes go to local fish shop and get some bactalife or any live bacteria so you can replace...
