    Pulsing Xenia

    I've got some red sea xenia which i bought as a tiny little frag of about 30polyps. Three and half months later and i must have a thousand or so :eek: They grow like crazy yet i don't put any iodine in or supplements just change the water (15-20% about every 2-3 weeks)

    Moving my African Blue Cespitularia

    I have a small frag of African Blue Cespitularia but it seems to of got lost in between my red sea white xenia which has taken over the same rock :eek:, knowing it's a fragile species i'm a bit apprehensive of trying to move it, does anyone know if it's safe to move and the best way to do this...

    Mantis or Pistol

    Are they really that dangerous, i haven't lost any more fish since the green chromis disappeared, i don't really mind the clicking noise so long as my fish are safe :rolleyes:

    Mantis or Pistol

    ok i've tried the mysis on a stick and also a bottle with food in it and no luck so far, so now i've taken to dismantling my rocks :eek: and re-built it with open caves and a bit more access inside the rocks, hopefully now i'll be able to see something at night ( once all the cloud has settled...

    Mantis or Pistol

    I sometimes hear the noise in the day but not very often. I don't target feed the brittle star as he always comes out to feed when i feed the fish and he usually catches some food. Sometimes it's just one click sometimes it's several in a row, i thought it was a pump or something at first so i...

    Fish Compatability and stocking level

    Cheers for the advise, although i would really like a blueface i don't think i could part with my tang, couldnt bear to let him go just in case he fell into bad hands, he is a really nice fish though! Luke

    calcium test kit help

    I use the Red Sea Reef Success test kit, you don't count the drops, you use a syringe, then you add the test solution to the test vial until you reach a certain colour indicated on a card, you then get the total calcium by looking on a chart ,so if you added say 0.9 ml of solution you have...

    Mantis or Pistol

    I've tried looking with a flash light on quite a few occasions but never found anything, I am ok with the noise it makes but if it's a mantis then I might be a little worried about my fish and cleaner + fire shrimps, thanks for the advise Apprentice I,ll keep looking out for it

    Mantis or Pistol

    How can you tell if you've got either a mantis or pistol shrimp hiding in the rocks? Every night i here a clicking noise in my tank as if some one was tapping a coin on the glass. I've asked my LFS and they said it could be either, is there any way of finding out and if dangerous, a way of...

    Fish Compatability and stocking level

    Yeah i know it's quite alot but the water stays very stable and i've always got 0 nitrates and phosphates so i assumed one more wouldn't hurt, would i be able to push it for say a blue face angel, they've got one at my LFS with corals and seems fine in there or is it a bit too risky?

    Blue face angel reef safe?

    am i right in that they tend to favour LPS corals to others, i have a few LPS, octobubble,brain,galaxy,candycane and trumpet, I also have a variety of soft and a couple of SPS and does yours bother your dwarf angels?

    Blue face angel reef safe?

    I've just posted a topic about a dominent sailfin tang and have been advised that it's unlikely that another tang will be accepted, so i was wondering if Blue faced angels are reef safe and ok in my tank?:confused: 100 gal tank, fluval 250 & 450 external filters, jewel internal filter, Via...

    Fish Compatability and stocking level

    Would that be the same for any type of larger fish, ie is it possible for a larger angel, i see you have a blue face with corals, what do reckon about the stock level?
