I bought my Blood Red Shrimp and corals on Sunday,(New Additions Forum) Anyways, Reddy (The Blood Red Cleaner Shrimp) Always was hiding behind the live rock. I did not mind, I would sit and watch the tank for an hour and he'd come out occasionally, on top of that he is scared he's been in the...

Hey everyone, What are your opinions on having a top or not with a YWG? Thanks, Nathan

pics to come...

I want to start adding fish in my new setup. My tank has been setup and cycling for about 3 months now. All my levels are pretty much where they should be, just tested them last night and looking good. My setup is 55g w/(4) 65watt pc lighting w/ 20g custom built refugium, 40lb live sand...

I have a few questions about shrimp compatibility but first here is the background. I currently have a Blood Red Fire Shrimp that has done well in my 24-gallon Aquapod for more than six months. I intend to upgrade from the Aquapod to a 60-gallon cube in the near future. I wanted to know the...

I have a leather coral I need to get rid of, i'm moving towards sps so out with the softies. I think it was sold to me as a devils hand. During the day it expands to at least 8 inches. It's polyps are usually out. I'm looking to trade this for frags of sps, or lps. If no frags to trade I...

(4) caught to date, but this last one required me cracking one of my rocks in half. I hope I'm doing the right thing by taking these out because there are others that say these rock mantis max out at 3" long and do not bother other inhabitants larger than them. None the less, I'm now left...

After being out of the game for more than 10 years, I have come back strong with a bulletproof setup. I've waited a long time, but if you want to do it right................it takes patience and a lot of good equipment. Oh yeah, money helps too. Tank spec as follows............ 125 gallon...

To all, I have a 125 gallon reef setup that has been running for about 3 months now. All sorts of creatures are starting to crawl out of the rocks now. The rock is Gulf of mexico aquacultured. I have already removed 3 urchins and separated them into a container within the tank. I will be...

:confused: I recently set up my 125 gallon with 235lbs. gulf cultured rock. The other night I noticed a bright green critter popping their head out of a hole in one rock. I used a 1" hose to siphon it out of it's hole and found it to be a mantis, about 1" lg. It really looks harmless and I know...

I've finally come to the conclusion, with all of your advice, that an an angel fish has no place in the building of my reef. I had my heart set on a yellow assessor, but cannot seem to find one. Other fish, I am looking at, are Black cap basslet and neon dottyback. They are both beautiful...

Hello all! How is everything doing so far? Anywho I have a couple of questions to fire off, but before I unload my barrel of questions let me inform you wonderful people of my tank specs. <o =""></o> 40g Acrylic Tank<o =""></o> One MH lighting with the blue light also(sorry I don’t...

Hi, My blood shrimp molted this past Thursday. He usually comes out the same day. I haven't seen him yet. The only fish I have is a pygmy angel, two clownfish and a sixline wrasse. Are sixline wrasses known to eat shrimp? I hope he shows up.

OK i have been asked by many what are the names of my fish.....Well i never named them. I took in a CD to work today with my fish pics and such on them. Well the one coworker saw my yellow watchman goby pairs and was like ohh those look like Fletsum and Jetsum from Little Mirmaid. Bigger...

Okay, sick of the conflicting information that I am finding on the web. Does anyone have this fish preferably full grown? I am currently attempting to ascertain actual final size in the home aquarium. I have seen posts (on other forums) of people who have had theirs its full captive lifespan but...

Added a zebra moray to the 125, had a low fish load, he is 14'' ate well at the store for me and 4 days later ate 2 silversides he has not gone after any stars / hermits / or the 4 shimp,two cleanes and two red ones that look like lobsters. Any input, does any one out there have one. Thanxs...

Bi-weekly Discussion of the week(s) Inverts--Crabs pt.1 Inverts make a great addition to our tanks.They are just one more thing to keep us mesmirized for hours ;) . What is an Invert? what are some of the common Inverts we have in our tanks?

I bought a beautiful frogspawn coral about two and a half weeks ago. I had my water tested--all good for the coral for the standard reef elements. The frogspawn did great for about a week and a half. It extended fully and looked fantastic. I was gone for a week and had a very responsible person...

I've known I had red bugs since November but decided to wait until I was done obtaining stock before treating. I did treat all my frags in another tank three months ago by removing them and treating them for one hour with a high dose of Intercetor. They all lived and are still bug free today...

my lfs told me they could order me hermits for $1 a piece if i ordered in bulk,by bulk i mean like 100+, just wondering if this is a good deal or if there is better around?
