That site has some good info as does that guys article in one of the fish magazines I have read. Unfortunately he refuses to list what he feeds them. This is a subject I am interested in too on a hobby scale so have been doing research on it. The food has to be smaller than rotifers. I think...

I got a response on a different board from a guy in Ft Lauderdale who says it washes up all the time on the beach there so it cant be that hard to get hold of. Do I hear the words "Road Trip"?

I have been interested in this type of tank since I read about them in Reef Fishes. Has anyone ever tried one or know anyone who has? Does anyone know where I could get hold of sargassam grass itself? Thanks

Not familiar with your technical stuff, but in my experience, refugiums are always worth it, just for the higher water volume if anythign else. Plus it gives you a place to put things if they misbehave without reacclimating them until you figure out what to do with them. Great place for...

I have had a problem like this for months now. I cant have any snail larger than a small turbo. Anything bigger just dies. This includes conches as well. Little ones do ok, same as my smaller snails do great, once they get big or if I add big snails, they stop moving and a couple days later they...

I agree with the guy above, a dottyback would do nicely and dare the damsel to attack it. Try a Neon or Fridmani dottyback, bright colorful and active, and wont take $%^$ from anyone. I wouldnt go with a six line, while they have semi-aggressive tendencies sometimes they arent an aggressive...

Well if you could get the Fu to eat to begin with you might have issues, errr probably will have issues with the other fish and them becoming lunch. Lions have really big mouths even the smaller ones. Conversly if you are trying to get your Fu Man Choo to eat having snacksized fish like yours in...

Does anyone know of any sites that sell tanks at a decent price?

I love my antennata lion. It is always out in the open, especially if it sees someone in the room. He eats right from my hand and reminds me of a puppy dog the way it swims up to the glass wagging its tail. Coloration is beautiful, much better than I have seen on volitans but it might just be...

That is a huge mandarin or am I seeing things?

I was only going with my own experience with eels. Generally mine keep to themselves and not bother anything if I feed them when they start roaming. I do agree that all fish are not the same. Shrimp are dead meat with any lion species but I didnt see those on his list, maybe I missed it. I...

As for the aiptasia eater if money is no issue try a Burgess Butterfly, much hardier than a copperband and cooler looking in my opinion, a little more costly however but it is said to be one of the better butterflies and loves munching aiptasia(much better record of it than copperbands too). The...

OK, yeah mine looks very healthy, but like yours pretty much just sways. If something does pulse its the smaller new polyps near the base. Mine is in medium to low current, I had them in higher current but it seemed to be blowing around madly and not given the chance to pulse. As long as it...

Ok I am not a new person i just have been ansent from this board for awhile. Disregard the 1st post thing heheh. I notice there are alot less people than there used to be, what happened? Anywho onto my real question, I picked up some nice pieces of Xenia elonogata(sp). Is this normally a pulsing...

I ordered 70 pounds of Kailini LR from PalmettoReefs.com. Very good customer service also included a garretee that if I didnt like it he would take it back. We had several phone calls about it. My rock came in primary in several large chunks which fit well and only a couple small fragments. I...
