Thanks, I remember the name now. I have a question about the peppermint shrimp now. How harmful are they really to other corals. I've seen some threads but it doesn't seem to go into specifics. What are all of your experiences regarding this. thanks again.

Hi guys/gals....what is the name of those annoying anemone like thing that no one likes? And I thought I remembered reading on here a while back that there is something that eats them. I'd do a search if I remembered the name. Thanks :wink:

All that matters is if the tank looks the way YOU want it to, and that you can keep the fish and corals that you choose healthy. Don't be intimidated by people on this board (not meant as a slam in any way). There are some people who just get into it way more intensely. Bottom line: keep em...

mjag...don't take this the wrong way, but do a search on lights before you ask any questions. From my experience, everyone is very nice and helpful, but most questions have already been asked (especially about lights)...and you get instant gratification because you don't have to wait until...

Nice info and comments from everyone...but back to the original question. When it got REALLY hot and I was concerned about the temp in my tank, I used to have about 8 or 9 plastic soda bottles frozen w/ water ready to go in the freezer. I would just drop one in the tank (lid on, of course) and...

Depends on if it will be out of sight, but you know that "eggcrate" material you can put under a mattress?....if you wrap that around the pipe and every conceiveable place there is noise, it may cut back a lot. Kinda like a recording studio effect where the foamed walls "absorb" all the...

Stay away from Cinnamons. Mine attacked my hand also and was quite the little bastard. I like my false perc.

My Hippo and clown. 3 moves...2 years...still goin' strong. (Hope I didn't just jinx them)

I got my hippo when he was the size of a dime....he is still hanging around 2 years later. He is very shy, very hardy and has survived 3 moves so far.

You need coral viagra.

One is enough!!!, but I was speaking as one voice for all the other married men.

Spelling...."where", not "were"

Mine died after about a month...well, at least i hadn't seen it after it had been in the tank for 1 mos. Anyway....waste of money. But isn't that how we learn what works in this hobby?....is to waste our money?....it is what makes this hobby fun and our wives so chipper about were the money is...

Thanks. I wanted to avoid having to move the rocks and rearrange my aquascape if possible. We'll see how it goes. Any other opinions by anyone?

Hi guys/gals: As you may have figured out from my previous posts I am setting up a new reef tank. I have one currently running, but I set it up the conventional way...i.e. the damned damsel. Now that I have about 3 years under my belt and am setting up a new tank, I'm trying to incorporate...
