I recently purchased a pair of tomato clowns and a sebae anemone (of which one of the tomatos was already playing in at the store). When i got home, i acclimated and placed all in the tank. Everyone is doing well, however, the tomatos seem to just ignore the sebae. The male tomato seems to be...

Seabiscuit - one thing you should be ready to undertake is the $$$$. Salt-Water aquariums are not maintained very well without putting money into them. Im 22 and I know that there is no way I could have maintained the 90 Gallon Reef tank that I have set up now at the age of 13, let alone its...

Whenever Im placing a new coral in my tank or moving something, my coral banded comes running out to see if i have food. Ive never tried feeding him but I guess I could...as long as he keeps his little claws off my skin. Anybody else w/ a CB?

Are they aggressive towards anything? do i have to worry about it stinging anything? Fish or Inverts? Thanks.

I have what I believe is a plate coral. Its doing unbelievable and is growing great. I placed it in a big open area in my tank on the sand as the LFS told me that it needed a lot of room so its tentacles could open up. So I did as I was told, and its been there for a solid week. I was looking at...

I also have another quick "newbie" question, related to something else. Since youve been so helpful i figured id ask you. All the microscopic little white creatures that are all over the glass inside the tank. They look like little crustaceans of some sort. Whats the deal with them? Good/Bad...

Couldn't tell you. It came with the System. Its about 2 feet long. Mabye a foot and a half. Somebody just told me that if i let it run allways, it kills virtually all that passes through it which is good, however, some good bacteria passes through it which you dont want to kill. What do you...

Friday morning Update: I fed my tank again last night and all the fish were eating very well. I checked out the Regal last night and the number of spots on him has definitely diminished, by I would say about half. Prolly only a few black spots on him now. (YAY!!!!) I have heard that I should...

Some discussions showed that ICH can just pop up from higher stress levels. So does that mean that it is just lying dormant in the fish? Is there ever a 100% sure way to not get ICH? The only thing I can think about is that I did a water change the night before I noticed the Ich. Kinda ironic...

Is there ever a 100% ICH Free tank? Or is there always a chance of ich? Is it like a cold? Can come and go or what?

no it was not. Just Live Rock. I feed them every night. Pellets and Frozen Brine. The Regal gets excited and will eat everything he can. Should I feed him Garlic? Thank you for your help. If anybody else has suggestions please keep giving them. MY EARS ARE OPEN!!! :?:

Probably a max of 10 spots on each side. Not bad, i just monitor my fish carefully and I noticed them right away. My roomate looked at the fish after I yelled at him to get his ass over to it to check it out, and was like what spots. So that probably means that the infection isnt too bad. There...

Thank you for your advice. 1. I would have no problem getting the two false perculas out, however, they look perfect, are swimming around and eating, and I have nowhere to put them right now, as my 10 gal qt has the flame. 2. I would have to take apart the reef to get the Tang out as he hides...

Thank you to all who read this and help: So the other day, my roomate decided to surprise me with a Regal Tang, he acclimated the fish to the water for 45 min., and dumped it in. When I came home, the fish was already in the tank. I was in shock and tried to play it off as friendly as I could...
