I recently bought a pencil wrasse, after being told it was something else. This is my first wrasse and i read they are pretty hard to feed, so i was wondering if anyone knew what i should feed it. I am willing to buy live food if thats what it take, i really like this guy. Thanks

i have the same problem cant get it to zoom in and focus. i guess i should invest in a better camera, i just never save money long enough because i end up using it on my aquarium.

FTS (notice only half the tank is light (all corals are on this side) Rock work on lit half unknown wrasse, got it for 20 bucks, does anyone know what it is? green ricordia orange ric some zoas, much greener in real life more zoas Ok i hope that satisfies your picture crave. any...

A couple of months ago my octopus McLovin that i had in my 100 gallon tank died, so with that i decided to transfer my nano corals and start a new reef tank in McLovins old home. Here are the specs. -100 gallon custom tank with 1/2" glass -100 pounds of love rock -20 gallon sump -Iwaki return...

ok thanks, i think ill stick to your advice on the 250's though since i have my quite a few softies that im going to be transferring into here. Anyone have metal halides for cheap? haha

would it be too much to get a 400 watt light? i can get it for cheaper than a 250, so i was just wondering..

It is a g-2, which i think should be enough for my tank, also if i were to get the two 250 watt metal halides, would that allow me to have SPS corals such as acropora? Thanks

I have an aquarium that is a little over 100 gallons. It measures 48"L x18"W x 28"H. I had used it as an aquarium for my octopus McLovin, but unfortunately he recently passed so i have been thinking about converting it to reef. What i already have: -100 pounds of love rock -two Koralia 1's...

ok i will check that out, though i think im just going to order black acrylic. Hopefully this divider is good enough to keep the octos separated.

I am making dividers for a 110 gallon tank. I am using acrylic and i need to paint it black, since i will be keeping octopuses, and it would be best if they cant see each other, so they don't get stressed out. What would be a safe paint for this? I read epoxy was safe, but the only thing my...

ok they are opening again. thanks for all the help.

well i moved it and still nothing, this is really starting to bother me, i cant find any reason why they would randomly close up, any suggestions?

that might be it, i recently moved them higher up but for the first 4 or 5 days they opened up but now many are closed. I will try moving them lower, tomorrow morning.

well i moved them and still not opening...any suggestions?

about 3 weeks ago i bought some zoanthids, and since day one they always opened up completely, but lately they havent been opening up completely like they usually do. All my other corals seem better than ever, especially my mushrooms and my hammer coral. Nothing has changed, and i tested the...
