Ok - so here is my other tank! For reference - here is the link to my 14g... http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112039 I don't think I need to repeat EVERYTHING from my other thread - but I actually got this tank on 1/11. It was a total whim - I must admit. I walked into my...

You saw how the fish were captured and sent to you? I'm having second thoughts after seeing what I saw on a recent dive in Jamaica. Right next to these awesome reefs were traps setup for tangs and other popular fish in our hobby. How do I know it was for them? Well, thats what the cages...

I'm trying to get as many of my fish tank bred as possible and am having trouble findings sources for some. Does anyone know if you can get the following tank bred? Any dwarf angels, foxface, purple tang. Any tank bred sources for other fish appreciated also. In the research phase of...

Bit of a dilemma here. I will be getting my first fish ( 2 clowns). Now I can purchase them wild caught from a supplier that I have been dealing with for live rock etc., good prices and quality or buy them captive raised from my LFS. I am leaning towards the captive raised, thinking it would...

Lighting will be 4 or 5 110w vho. Clowns will be 4 of something. The wife loves the false perc. the catch is that she wants them to host. Would a maroon/gold be a better hosting choice than a false perc ?? I know the maroons can be grumpy, the clowns will be added in say 2 weeks. I want my wife...

Fish. We all have them, they range from very small to pretty Big. what are some of the things we need to do to have them in a reef tank? Are there pro's and cons to having them?

Purchased two banded pipefish and was skeptical about buying them with all the reading I have done regarding how difficult they are to keep in a reef tank. It has been about 24 hours and they have no interest in any food I have given them. I have tried live brine shrimp, frozen blood worms...

Does anyone have any Mated or Spawning pairs of clownfish for sale or at any of the LFS down in the cities thanks whit

Had to share this with you guys since I thought you might understand. After a year of dealing with a few wild caught Banggais (who are no longer around), a pair from an infamous online reseller that turned out to be a male/male pair, another replacement pair that FedEx decided to leave outside...

Twenty Six Days Old - 1/21/02 They don't look much different than the picture last week. However, they are actually twice the size. They now hang out together in a big ball in a corner. They recongnize me when I come to feed them. If there is a sudden noise (or I close the lid too loudly)...

I have found all kinds of captive bread clownfish (and some gobies). I would like to find other species (grammas, etc). How do I get in touch with people that breed saltwater fish for sale? Anyone know? Is there a web page of hobbyist breeders that sell their fry? Thanks, Joel

Hi folks- Remember those really cool looking new web pages we were supposed to have by now? Well, they are being worked on as we speak! I need a few articles to be written that will be part of a FAQ. If you are interested in writing about any of the following topics, please let me know...

I have a 45 gallon carcass sitting in my living room that is wanting to grow up and be a reef tank. I've been researching this hobby for about six months now, and am still a bit "nervous" about jumping in. Reefs are so much more involved than fresh, but this is something I've been wanting to...
