thanks for sharing with us today... we've already got the blue led's on the tank and they get an absolutely GLOWING report! thanks again... Barbara

why are you getting rid of them?

partobe... that's the reason I don't make the fish swim through the small hole... I just use the bottom inch of the bottle for bait (push that cut off top wayyyyyy down into the bottom) wait for the fish to swim into the big part of the bottle, then throw my big net over the top.... fish...

loved my tassle file fish, wasn't aware of it eating aiptasia tho it may have. I don't believe they are considered reef compatible though (maybe just because they love to eat the shrimp, and mine ate fanworms too)

you can use a 2 or 3 liter soda bottle as an inexpensive fish trap. the link shows you how http://www.reeftime.com/diy-reef-projects/diy-fish-traps/2-liter-bottle-fish-trap/3.htm this has worked for me a couple times. If you really want to not make a mess in the tank, use a magnafloat to hold...

I know firsthand that water from an ich infested tank added to an "ich-free" tank will contaminate the clean tank. So if you know your coral is coming from an infested tank, I'm hypothesizing that since the corals have water on and in them, it would be a really good idea to quarantine long...

my experience with Marine Max is that when I spot a fish with a spot of ich, I give the tank a dose and watch... if that's the end of it, I don't treat anymore. I do try to add it for the general health and well being of my fish when I do a water change (about once a month)... but even if it is...

I've been in the hobby for about 3 years now (not counting many years of freshwater aquariums before moving into saltwater). I've done the dance with ich many times, just about always equated with adding someone new to the tank and sometimes just from the stress of switching tanks. Anyhow, I've...

do you have a clownfish in the tank? if so, has it adopted the anemone yet? I've seen clowns feed their anemones in my tanks, it's a very kewl relationship. you can chop the silverside if you want, it depends on how big the anemone is and how big the silverside is... most important is that if...

hey... been a while since mine were in diapers but I was at someone's house doing a teardown the other day and they had a shipping box marked "diapers.com" might be worth a look, maybe save you some $$ over the grocery store prices... best of luck btw... if you ever have an accidental spill on...

notice I'm a newbie here... what I've observed in my tank with bristleworm is that when I've seen them in my sandbed (up against my glass) near my long tentacle anemone, they seem to irritate it. If I see one there and my anemone has been sad, I will remove the worm (carefully, so as not to hurt...

in addition to adjusting your flow, you may want to check your phosphate and nitrate levels.
