  1. What are acceptable phosphate levels?

    My tank would be the same... except the P04 is .3 or higher. Im thinking that Im not rinsing my Kent Carbon good enough. Ill use the P04 scrubber for 24-48 hours, test bring it down to .2 then again until its unreadable. Then throw in some carbon and start the cycle all over again. The...
  2. Wanted to show off my new hood!

    I guess the kind of Damel is the most important thing. When one says damels most people seem to cringe... Its funny how the same person who sold you the fish 2 months ago tells you that damsels are evil, and good luck removing them. I really like the colors of the damsels especially the...
  3. Wanted to show off my new hood!

    Anna, was just reading about ur hood... saw that u had damsels in your tank... Do you still have them?... I had 4 myself... Now Im down to 2... [got lucky and caught 2 of them...] So far the last 2 [1 velvet and 1 yellow tail] are not little demons... :twisted:
  4. Long Tip Anenome Question

    Well, the long tenticle is no longer. Friday evening it had enough. Had to resist replacing it with a large BTA... Ill probably only keep the one I have and add no more anytime soon. I know that beginners should stay away from aneonomes, but is there something that adds beauty like...
  5. Long Tip Anenome Question

    I had been feeding it 2 times a week, then cut back to once a week. Nothing but frozen squid. It has seemed unhappy the last week, with some tentacles turning grey. But it would bounce back after a few mins. The bubble is happily under a rock, feet away from the long tentacle. I just...
  6. Long Tip Anenome Question

    Help! Dont know what to make of it. I have had this and a bubble tip for about a month and the long tip seemed ok. Then 2 days ago the long tip shriveled up and I noticed that it had a funky looking growth on the base. It still has a pink base but the tenicles are grey colored. Very little...
  7. Maroon Clowns

    That is a good idea. She is bigger, by a small margin. Im gonna keep him in his fry net for now. Try the introduction again after a few days. He wants out, maybe Ill let him try again. Thanks
  8. Maroon Clowns

    Oh yea... They are still pretty small 2.5 inches. I ended up seperating them, he was floating on his side at the top of the tank. Feigning death no doubt because as soon as he was safe he righted up and ate... So now she can still see him, just not hurt him. Now why would my CBS be tugging...
  9. Maroon Clowns

    I thought that might be case on the gender. That was made up within the first few days of them being the only 2 clowns in the tank. Its just weird she took so long to get into the bubble tip [they leave the long tenacle alone]. So much about their personality has changed in 24hours. Now...
  10. Maroon Clowns

    These were bought from the LFS, same tank same time etc. I thought adding them would be a wise choice in combating the mean velvet damsel. Now both dominant fish [maroon and velvet] are best of buddies. No fighting nothing. But against their own species, they dominate. Arent fish cool...
