    Any poison arrow frog experts?

    Why am I nuts? They aren't poisonous in captivity.

    Any poison arrow frog experts?

    I want to get some of these guys. Any tips on raising them? Where to buy? What kind to get? Anything helpful is appreciated.

    cucumbers

    I personally don't think they are worth it. You can find other critters to stir up the sand. Risking a cuke nuke is a bad idea IMO.

    losing hope in the hobby...

    I always thought blue hippos were really neat but I will NEVER buy one in fear of this. I heard cleaner shrimps help prevent ich because they eat parasites off the fish. Is this true?

    Mandarin dragonet food?

    Copepods. Make sure you have a big enough tank with enough live rock and/or a refugium because they WILL deplete your supply.

    Aiptasia Anemone

    I had a bunch of aiptasias and they all disappeared. I had two peppermints but I never saw them eat them.

    I have a suprise hitchiker

    When I purchased my live rocks, I had a TON of hitchhikers. Like it was unbelieveable. Of course I had a mantis and a gorilla crab. The gorilla crab decimated my snails and the mantis decimated my clams. Both were eventually removed once I got to the point of all the hitchhikers are gone.

    I want to open a saltwater specialty store. Any advice?

    Yea I highly doubt I would ever do such a thing. It would be a great accomplishment, but is just way too much work.

    I want to open a saltwater specialty store. Any advice?

    Good post. There's another store in the next city over that is pretty good with saltwater. Definitely better than Petco, but overall it's still a crapshoot. These stores barely ever have any good fish in. When they get them they all sell out. Is it that hard to order the right inventory? What...

    I want to open a saltwater specialty store. Any advice?

    I have no definite plans, but it is something I have been really considering lately. The biggest competition is petco that is like 10 minutes away and their selection is usually crap and I could easily offer the same or lower prices since they are kinda high. My selection could tower over...

    So I got the pre-skimmer for the Aqua C Remora

    I heard nothing but good about it so I went and ordered it. This thing is HUGE. It also doesn't fit too snuggly. Is there any other way to attach it besides screwed it to the pump?

    Best food for tangs?

    I just bought a powder blue tang. He doesn't seem to be too interested in my chaeto and sea lettuce, which I was hoping for. So what are the best foods I could give him? I want something that needs no preparation, that I can just put it in that's healthy and he will eat it. I also have a flame...

    Is there really a difference with all these RO/DI units? Some say they take out more stuff than others.

    I'm glad I finally picked up a protein skimmer

    Yea this fourth cup was rather clear. The other ones looked like pee. Dumb question, how do I adjust it?

    I'm glad I finally picked up a protein skimmer

    I've had it for less than a week and the collection cup has already been full 3 times. It seems like the break in period has just finished. I emptied the cup 20 minutes ago and it's already half full again. I feel bad my water was this bad :oops: :oops: . Anyone thinking about whether to get a...

    Possible to keep a tang in a 55 gallon?

    Well they recommend the same size tank for a powder blue as they do a yellow tang which are frequently in 55s. Sailfins, nasos, etc they recommend 125+. I think I should be fine. Like I said, most of the time when I see a tang, it is eating. As long as I can provide enough algae for it, it...
