    True Power Compact full tank shots, PLEASE NO t-5 OR mh.

    No problem, I do love your tank. The funny thing is, almost 2 years ago my LFS sold me a crocea and told me it was one of the least light demanding clams. Well it did do great under my PC's 9 inches from the light but now that it got a lot bigger, you guys pointed out that it looked like it was...

    True Power Compact full tank shots, PLEASE NO t-5 OR mh.

    The ONLY thing in my tank that shouldn't be there is my crocea, and that's because I went to a fish store in NY and they assured me that it was the lesser light demanding clam. Thier tanks were beautiful. How was I to know that the owner of the store didn't know what the heck he was talking...

    Tank crashed

    I feel for ya, it's our worst fear, it can happen to anyone. Did your heater stick on, or was it just hot? I'm from CT. still chilly in this neck of the woods. A month ago, I bought a controller for my heater. I've heard that they can stick on and cook the tank. Good luck and don't give up.

    Can I mix a sixline wrass with a lepoard wrass

    Is there anything else I can do to get rid of the snails? The problem is that they live in the gravel and only come out at night. I've got alot of rock so it's not easy to scoop out the gravel, although if I can't get a good preditor I may have to.

    The sixline was the last one in and everyone gets along very well. I haven't even seen a fish chase another. A couple quick stand offs where the gramma and sixline look at each other and the gramma opens his mouth real wide and the sixline turns sideways and raises is bright orange dorsal fin...
