    Silly Clowns!!

    I recently got a carpet anemone for my occellaris'. It took a few days, but finally they started to host him. Over the next week, the carpet started to move towards the back of the tank where I couldn't see him. I was sort of upset cause now I couldn't sit and watch the clowns play and nuzzle...

    Have you had a chromis jump?

    I had 3 chromis in my tank, then suddenly there was only two. I looked in my overflow, my sump and all my lines, but nothing. Then when I was moving some stuff around I found him all dried up next to the tank on the floor. I think that the other 2 chromis pushed him, he was the bully! Dave

    Return pump filter pad

    Good idea dnjan, I have to top off my return pump section daily as well, it is from evaporation, nothing to worry about. Just make sure that you're topping off with fresh water not salt mixed or your salinity will rise. Dave

    O.K. so my yellow Tang

    Definately try to sell it to a fellow reefer. If you trade it in to the LFS, who knows what will happen to it. Someone that is new to the hobby and has a 20g tank may think it'll look cool, but probably end up killing it. Your odds are much better with a person that at least has some...

    Aquarium Bill

    I haven't read the bill, but I have to agree with Sherman. I love my beautiful tank and all the colorful fish that I have in it, but if there's a drop in the populations of these fish, maybe one day they could be extinct. I believe that it would be best to protect these fish, so everyone may...

    Submitted for your consideration…

    When I first set up my tank I did put the rocks on the back wall, but over time regretted it because it was very hard to keep it clean. Now I have all rock in the middle and plenty of room to run a magfloat throught the back side, it looks alot bettter this way.

    Stirring sand bed

    Well I know a little bit about DSB's and I don't believe that your sand bed is deep enough to really help with keeping nitrates down. From that point of view, I would stir it to keep the detrius from becoming a nitrate trap.

    Overwhelmed~Needing Help

    I think that everyone here on RF wishes you the best, and wants to help out. My opinion would be to check out aquarium maintenance companys, it seems that with everthing going on with your condition, you really don't have the time to take care of your tanks. That's what a service would do for...

    Clams

    I have to agree with you Mike, there's times that I'd love to just go out and buy a beautiful clam or coral that I want, but I know that I don't have the right enviornment for one yet, namely the high calcium. Dave

    Koralia pump question

    I have a K2 and mine makes no noise whatsoever. Maybe take it back if it has a defect?!

    So how do you get your sump started???

    Well everyone started with their first one, and don't get discouraged if (when) you have an overflow onto your floor, that too, happens to everyone. Dave

    What fish should I get?

    I'm sorry to disagree with you, but as a request of my wife, we got a Bangai Cardinal, and I have to tell you that is about the most boring fish around! Most of the time it just sits there not swimming about the tank like all my other fish, I couldn't imagine a whole school of that in my...

    Help with Stand Design

    Ok here's my 2cents! I have a typical 55g 48X13, and I custom built my stand to fit that dimension. When I finally decided to add a sump, I was disappointed with the dimensions, because it severely limited the access that I had to put a sump underneath, basically a ten gallon facing sideways...

    Lighting Question

    Not that i'm an expert but I think that 6 inches is a little bit too close, I wouldn't put halides any closer than 9 inches myself.

    OK, this is wierd!

    maybe put a finer mesh around the intake. Sometimes my anemone gets stuck on my maxijet, as long as it hasn't been shredded, just turn the maxi off and wait, the anemone will dislodge itself eventually and move on.

    just to let people see what my tank looks like for now.

    I have the same problem with my maroon, even if I'm not around her anemone, she gets mad and head butts my hand.
