Sorry the text is so long. When I tried to upload it as an attachment it wouldn't do it. The nutrition in todays flakes is great. I figure it helps make up for what the fish don't get with the live brine. So I rotate between the two. SM: Marked For Archiving? If you want I can upload the...

FEED HIM !! Mine eat constantly!! The one I had in my 10 gal tank (Candy) has gone to sleep many times with food in his mouth!!!!! Once in a while I feed him a worm before I go out fishing. He love them. It's also fun to watch him kill it before he eats it. I rinse the worm real well and...

Cool,thanks!! I want to put a few of the LRocks into my other tanks to help get the eco going again. I'm waiting to see what comes out of a couple of the rocks - 2 of the rocks have a small pile of waste outside of them. The waste used to be a cream color, now it's more of a light brown...

I have 2 Candycane coral bandeds. They are a lot of fun to watch. To overcome the territorial factor I removed them from seperate tanks and put them in a tank that was "New to both" and no territory had been established,now it seems that they are "Sharing" the tank. They sleep side by side.

Raising brine shrimp can be a pain unless you have the knack for it. I have a text on it that I found while wandering the web, I hope it helps. Pay good atention to the part about aeration. I keep mine in a 2gal hex with the salt density at 1.5 When I run low I just go get some more. I also...

This normal. Its taking a poop.

Water changes - I grew up with a family business,a fish store. We had quite a lot of salt water tanks. Once a tank was established we never did any water changes, only top offs. I currently have 4 saltwater tanks and I don't change the water in any of them. Two years with no water change. What I...

Chris has suggested the way that I do it. It works great. Just be sure to keep an eye on it and use something that takes high heat well. You don't want to burn up your lighting fixture OR what you are using to filter the light. I used Duct tape. I put a couple of strips on the glass top of the...

Yes they are feather dusters. Don't remove them unless you have to. I have a 10 gal tank and they are all over the place. The tank has about 10lbs of live rock,Long hair algae and all sorts of other critters in it. I haven't done a water change in over a year and the water is neither pumped nor...

I found that if you drop the temp in the Qt tank to about 67deg it will induce a parasite infestation if any are present. Found this out when the temp dropped in my apt. and the heater was off. It only took two days and the parasites were noticable. Treated the tank and all was ok. My yellow...

I have two of those shrimps in one of my tanks. When first introduced I took them out of separate tanks. They did a little face off and soon setteled down. Now they sleep together. While in separate tanks, I found them to be territorial. And one of them attacked a seahorse that I put in the...

I receintly added a cluster of young feather dusters to my 10 gal tank. A few days later I found a small - 1" - white brittle star in the tank. I guess it hitched a ride with the cluster although I didn't notice it when I put it in the tank. So far it seems peacefull enough but I don't know what...

I had a 55 gal that I left the light on 24 hrs a day. The only algae growth I had was a light covering on the back glass and on the open areas of my coral. A lot did grow on the glass top right under the light though. The color was a very dark green. When it go thick enough to diminish the light...
