    What do sponges eat?

    Filter feeders for the most part. Take up their nutrition from the water column.

    Is there any way to promote certain colors of coralline algae

    Do minor scrapings on the good colors and either get it into the water column or place it on the location you want to "seed." There is believed to be lighting issues and such but thats for another time.

    Newbies guide to the nano reef

    My new addition. Sorry no pic, (friggin camera is not 3 year old-proof). After qting the little buddy, I put my lime green blasto colony in it's new niche. Because of the lower wattage and intensity of my lighting, I thought the colony would do better closer to the source. I did not get any...

    Some snail questions.

    I agree w/R O S. They are filter feeding marine worms, kinda like 2nd cousins of the feather duster. No harm no foul.

    Disappearing Orange Spotted Goby

    Gobies are always a skittish group. I'll go 2-3 days w/out seeing my yellow watchman. I know he's eating pods because he doesn't show any signs of starvation. He'll come out when a certain food hits the water, takes his two to three bites and then burrows or sits on "his" rock. Free form...

    How (and if) I can mix SPS & LPS in my 40 gallon tank

    All great advise. LPS will do fine with that fl pc's but the sps might not. PC's may not have the extra "umph" that MH lighting has. As for softies with sps, if you keep your softies closer to the outlet side of your tank and use a quality carbon rotated out every two weeks, I don't see so much...

    Keeping Mandirn Fish/dragonets fed

    Can you obtain any fresh live rock? You'll have the seeds for an outrageous growth of macro with a bit of uncured live rock when it cycles. Adding a pinch of flake food in the fuge will introduce a bit of phosphate, which will stimulate algae growth. The trick is to keep the fuge unplumbed from...

    joes juice q

    Roll it into their oral disc. They will sense the shadow and retract into their hiding spot, come in at an angle. If you do it right they will "wilt".

    Feeding the Fish

    Oh yeah I forgot, get a bar of frozen cyclopeeze. You will get a good response. As Krish said you may want to turn off the circulation during feeding and gently with a turkey baster target feed the gobies, rotifers, cyclo, daphnia, arctipods, all of these are frozen are fridged "whole" foods.

    Keeping Mandirn Fish/dragonets fed

    As long as the pods have a constent food source they will reproduce in kind. Same as any animal. Larger the food source the more quickly they grow and the faster they reach sexual maturation= more pods. Once a week a put in a ml of DT's green water and I see pods all over the glass. Razor the...

    Yup, basically just kalkwasser, it will get sucked into skimmer or dissolve into solution.

    Feeding the Fish

    Everyone is on the money and I will give you my 2 bits: Though I could eat thin crust pizza at every meal, my doctor would kill me. General guidlines, not to taken as gospel, frozen whole marine foods are better then processed dry foods. Not to say that flake or pellet should never be used but...
