    Maintenance Advice

    Increased flow will help. Try getting some indirect current over the sand. It can be tricky to do. I usually try to bounce a powerhead flow off the front of the glass. Of course you can also invest in some sand sifters to keep that top layer clean. It may be that your live sand is not very...

    Good fish day! - Picassos

    It's in Poulsbo. If you ever make it over here, I suggest you check it out. It looks good and hasn't moved from the rock I put it on. It did "deflate" last night, but I think they do that to adjust to the water in the new tank.

    Good fish day! - Picassos

    I'm not sure what the difference is... I've also heard of jigsaw clowns. I think as the patterns on clowns start to differentiate, we'll start seeing a bunch of names. I bet we'll even see a cow clown someday. lol

    Good fish day! - Picassos

    They are not paired yet. I don't know a lot about clowns, but I think you have to have 4 or more to get them to want to establish dominance. These are just little guys, but when they get older, I may do like salmonslayer and get some onyx clowns to get the dominance and pairing established. I...

    Good fish day! - Picassos

    They are actually in different tanks right now. The picasso's are in "quarantine" and the sebae will have time to settle before it gets pestered. I'm not sure if the sebae is bleached or not... it seems typical of the ones I have seen at lfs's. It attached quickly, closed mouth, and is...

    Good fish day! - Picassos

    Tamarr fell in love with Picasso's when she saw one about 4 months ago. We debated about getting such expensive fish. I know expensive is a relative term, but for me, the term fits. Mario at Ocean Reef Aquatics was able to get a pair of them for us from ORA. I really like the pattern on...

    Joe's Wet Dream, A 550 Gallon Work In Progress

    What an accomplishment! All that planning has finally paid off. Now put some fish and corals in there and sit back and enjoy. Septic - I wouldn't be worried about salt in the septic... however, the increased load on your system may saturate your drain field, especially if you also have the...

    MH lighting/hairline question

    I think most of us have been through our fair share of algae breakouts. Here's what was successful for me... 1. Regular water changes - sounds like you are ok there 2. Algae eating fish - rabbitfish or kole tang 3. Removing phosphates - I used a phosphate reactor 4. Manually removing it -...

    treating red bug

    If you end up not using it let me know. I have one tri-color with some red bugs on it. Funny thing... that acro grows faster than any of my other sps. I'm not seeing any negative effects from the red bugs and I sometimes wonder if there is some kind of symbiotic relationship. The only reason...

    Feeding dry seaweed

    same here... I get mine from the local Asian food store. I don't add any vitamins to it though, but that sounds like a good idea :)

    Hitchhiker Identification

    Luckily, I didn't get any of your STD's (shared tanks disasters). I searched all over my tanks last night and didn't see any spiders... or flatworms, but I did see some aptasia.lol Either I got very lucky and never got one in my tank or my red coris wrasse ate them all. I'd let you borrow the...

    A Clearly Fabricated 270g

    I also got my RO/DI from filtersdirect. Mine is nearly a year old and I'm just starting to get some TDS. It registers 3 ppm ..lol Even then I can't be sure the filters need changed because I did get a bit of salt from the bucket into my holding water. I'll have to get a cup or so right from...

    My 90g braceless framless build!

    Very sweet! Can't help you with the fish... although I think a mated pair of gold striped maroons would really like living in the tank ;)

    an on going figh with cyano

    I would get one of those Koralia powerheads. For a 39, I would grab a #2 or a #3. I used to have some cyano issues and although I can't give all the credit to those powerheads, they certainly helped. Check your phosphates as well... I had to replace my DSB, because it was essentially...
