frozen brine shrimp

I have had my first Copperband Butterfly fish for 6 days. He is now eating frozen brine with a good appetite. He will occasionally nip at frozen mysis but then usually spits it out. He does pick at the live rock and sand all day and appears to be getting things to eat from that. He has...

A short introduction of myself; my name is Chad Vossen; I’m 20 years old and live in MN. I have successfully raised 3 peppermint shrimp, with more to settle soon. I could have had more success, but I had two massive die offs that were human error. My larval shrimp tank is very basic; it’s a...

My Damsel Fish Looks sick and i'm not sure what happened. The only thing i'm doing differently is feeding the Mysis Shrimp that i purchased from Bio Reef. I started feeding all of my fish the shrimp yesterday and today after feeding them some of the shrimp my damsel fish (Spike) Looked like this...

I am currently running a CSS 220 on my 29 gallon SPS dominant reef tank. I have done the fishing line mod, and have added an air valve to the tube coming off the eductor to better control the bubble size. Really, it has never pulled a lot of skimate. The most it has ever pulled in a week is...

Hello, this 'stuff' has been growing on my one single rock for a little over 2 weeks now. When the light is off it appears to go away, but after a few hours of the light being on it's back to being very 'there' again. I also have what appears to be Green Hair Algea, very hard to see in pic. I'm...

Hi, I have a 10 gal. saltwater tank with two live rocks (4lbs and 3lbs), live sand and a clown fish. The tank has been set up for almost a month with the 4lb. rock and sand in it. I did tests everyday and they came out great, so two days ago, I bought a little clown fish and the 3lb. live...

LFS has a very small Copperband Butterfly for sale that is about 2 inches from snout to tail. They have had it for about 1.5 weeks and it is very active and eating. Should I be concerned with one this small? My gut tells me take a chance. My bio load is minimal and my 55 is an established...

OK, I'm not sure why he does this but is it some thing to worry about? it has been going on for the last month but it doesn't appear to bas for him because soon after he looks like the picture taken in the actinic lichts. all water par. are alright.

I’m having a problem ensuring that my watchman goby gets enough to eat. He’s shy and doesn’t like to come out of the rocks, so my six-line wrasse and cleaner shrimp beat him to the food before it has a chance to get to the bottom of the tank, where he’ll go after it. He’s started picking off...

Okay I am back again but this time its about my new false percula clownfish. Now the trouble is that it wont really move from a certain spot and it eats a tiny bit (maybe one mouth full ). Do you think I should get another clownfish? I just got it a 3 days ago so would it be safe to add another...

Good morning, I haven't been on in a while but I am having serious issues with red "slimy" algae in my 10g nano. I have had my water specs checked (including phosphate) and have stopped feeding mysis shrimp to my clown. I am also adding a small dose of liquid calcium per day. This has been...

I was just wondering what everone out there that has a Royal Gramma feeds it. I am on my second one who seems to be doing fine. The last one I had hid in the rock the whole time and wouldn't come out to eat so he starved to death. This new guy seems to tear it up though. Anyway what does...

Hello, I was just wondering if it is normal for the scooter blenny to hide completely in the sand? Thanks

ok so i said in my other thread that i got a yellow watchman goby today. My LFS said he was there for awhile and was eating fine. They have been feeding him frozen brine shrimp so I got Formula One frozen brine plus cubes. They said to take a cube put it in a zip lock bag and put that in the...

Well with my cycle (short because of cultured solomon rock from a friends tank) done I waiting for another week and very good test results until I got some inhabitants. I also took your advise and ditched the 160gph maxi-jet 600 for a 400gph HYDOR KORALIA 1. And um wow what a difference. First...

This is my very first saltwater tank! I have read a ton and got lots of advice. The tank has actually been up and running for about a month and so far is really successful, but I didn't make a build thread so I thought I'd do it now. So here it is!

I was just wondering what and how to feed a scooter blenny? What should I feed him? How should I prepare it? How should I feed him? PLEASE HELP!
