  1. Yellow Gorgonian help

    I have had a yellow gorgonian for several months now and I have never seen it open more than 10 or 15 polyps at a time. I see pictures of them online and they have all of their polyps out. I put food in the tank daily, and it is in moderate flow. Is it unhappy or is this normal? I know that it...
  2. RED SLIME HELP

It is a stock 24 gal jbj nano cube. all corals, fish, and inverts are thriving. is there something...
  3. HELP!!! peppermint shrimp

    I have had 3 cleaner peppermint for a few months and have noticed them spawn, however the fish have eaten the young. I recently moved them(because they were eating my feather worm) to their own 5 gallon tank. They just spawned and now I have between 100 and 200 babies and have no idea what to...
  4. shrimp and anemone?

    I have a small flower anemone and 3 peppermint shrimp in my nano cube. Ever since I put the flower anemone in the shrimp have not left it alone. I noticed the anemone started to decline so I removed him and placed him in a seperate tank. Anyone know why the shrimp were harassing my anemone? All...
  5. overflow help?

    I am getting ready to do a 10 gallon tank project with a 10 gallon sump. I am not drilling the tank. Any suggestions on an overflow and return pump? Also ideas on how to make the in-sump fuge would be helpful. Thanks

  7. Rick's 5.5 gal Reef

    Thanks man, the damsels are doing well, they chase each other a little, but no torn fins or anything. I love this little tank more than my 24 gal at home!

  12. Clown Host

    Are tube anemones a good clown host? The reason I asked about the condy and the tube anemones is because I really like those two types, more so than a bubble tip or a carpet anemone. And I would like the first thing to be a clown with an anemone. I am pretty new to reefkeeping, and I have kept...
  13. Clown Host

    This is very interesting. I did not even think that the clownfish might be bothering the coral. So what are the odds that if I buy a condylactus anemone and a clown that they will form a symbiotic relationship? There is nothing in the tank right now other than some hermits and peppermint shrimp.

  15. Clown Host

    I have seen clownfish host in certain corals as opposed to anemones. I have seen this in a torch coral and a frogspawn. Anyone know of any other coral that will host a clown?
