WILL THE PARENTS EAT THE YOUNG? DO I NEED TO REMOVE THE KIDS INTO YET ANOTHER TANK?

TIM YOU ARE ALWAYS JONNY ON THE SPOT ON MY QUESTIONS, THANKS MY FISH WOULD BE DEAD WITHOUT YOU! :maitre

SO I JUST GOT ONE A BIT AGO AND WAS WONDERING WHAT KIND OF BIOLOAD HE PUTS ON THE TANK? HE IS A DECENT SIZED BOOGER BUT A BEAUTIFUL ADDITION I HAD TO HAVE. I HAVE A 10 GAL WITH 17LBS OF ROCK AND A PF AND A INTERNAL MINI PF (REALLY A SMALL POWERHEAD) THE PLAN WAS A GREEN CLOWN GOBY, A FIREFISH...

I HAVE HAD A GCG IN MY 10 GALLON FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH NOW. I GOT HIM FROM A LFS AND HE ALSO HAD THAT SUNKEN BELLY LOOK. ONCE IN MY TANK (THE ONLY INHABITANT OTHER THAN SNAILS) I TRIED BRINE AND FROZEN CYCLOPS, NEVER SAW HIM EAT FOR WEEKS. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I SAW HIM TAKE A LITTLE BITE OF CYCLOPS...

WELL I CHECKED MY WATER AND EVERYTHING IS GREAT. I HAVE HAD THE ALGONE PAD IN THERE FOR JUST OVER A WEEK AND I THINK THAT I WILL LEAVE IT IN THERE FOR 2, THE PACKAGE SUGGESTS JUST ONE BUT THAT IS RATED FOR A 50 GAL SO I AM SURE THAT WITH MY SMALL BIOLOAD IT HAS PLENTY MORE ABSORBTION ABILITY TO...

WELL I THOUGHT I WOULD BRING CLOSURE TO MY OWN POST. I REMOVED MY FILTER PAD AND AFTER A DAY DID NOT NOTICE A CHANGE IN NITRATES ABOUT 10PPM 1 DAY POST WATER CHANGE (HOWEVER IN THAT TIME PERIOD IT NORMALLY WOULD HAVE INCREASED SO THAT WAS A IMPROVEMENT) I FINALLY GOT MY ALGONE FROM PREMIUM...

I WAS THINKING ABOUT TAKING THE PAD OUT BUT WILL I BE REMOVING TOO MUCH BACTERIA? HOW OFTEN DO YOU THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO DO A WATER CHANGE? ALSO I HAVE HAD MY GREEN CLOWN GOBY FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND I FINALLY SAW HIM EAT A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO BUT HE JUST HIDES CONSTANTLY, I CANT...

well i got my first fish and added him to my tank. I seem to have to change my water every other day due to nitrates. they go from 5 or less the day before, and rise to 10-15ppm in 2 days. my tank is a 10 gal with 15lbs of live rock, and 10lbs of live sand, 1 margarita snail, 6 narsisuss...

I WAS THINKING THAT IF I GOT THIS UP AND RUNNING AND IT WAS SUCCESSFUL IN CONTROLLING NITRATES THAT I MAY USE THIS SETUP TO ADD SOME CORALS, THE BIG QUESTION IN THIS IS HOW EFFICIENT IS THE SAND BED, MANGROVE SHOOTS, MACROALGE, LR RUBBLE IN CONVERTING THE NITRATES INTO NITROGEN AND HOW FAST. i...

I AM PLANNING ON ADDING A 10 GAL SUMP TO MY 10 GAL TANK, I KNOW THIS IS KINDA SILLY FOR THE SIZE BUT THE REASONS ARE BELOW: 1. INCREASED WATER VOLUME=STABILIZE CHEMICAL SWINGS 2. I WANT THE EXPERENCE FOR WHEN I START MY LARGER PROJECT 3. I WANT TO UNCLUTTER MY DISPLAY TANK 4. I WANT TO...

FYI, I AM A NEWBY ALSO BUT WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT IN MY 10GAL I HAVE THE SAME RUSTY STUFF AND HAVE 6 NARSSISUS SNAILS AND ONE MARGARITA SNAIL AND THE 6 HAVE ONLY KEPT ABOUT 1/2 OF THE SAND MOVING ENOUGH TO KEEP THE RUSTY STUFF OFF. THE LFS IS OFFERING 3 TONGA'S FOR $5 SO I PLAN ON GETTING...

I AM FOR SURE GETTING ONE OF THEESE IN MY TANK WHENEVER I CAN FIND ONE LOCALLY, I HAVE HEARD THAT THEY BREED EASILY, ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? I WISH I COULD PUT 10 OF THEM IN MY TANK HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

I DID NOT DRIP THEM, I ADDED ABOUT 1/4 CUP OF WATER SEVERAL TIMES OVER ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER THEY HAD BEEN FLOATING IN THE TANK FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS TO TEMP ACCLIMATE. I WENT OUT TODAY AND BOUGHT MORE ROCK (MUCH TO MY WIFE'S DISMAY) AND NOW HAVE 15LBS OF ROCK IN MY 10 GAL TANK. AT 6.99/LB I AM NOW...

SO WHAT ARE THE ACCEPTIBLE N03 PPM FOR A FOWLR TANK? I FOUND SOMETHING THAT SAID UNDER 30PPM WAS BEST. IS THAT TOO HIGH? DO YOU THINK THE SNAIL DIED BECAUSE OF THE NO3 OR WAS IT SOMETHING ELSE. THATS WHAT I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT. I WAS PLANNING ON DOING ANOTHER 25% WC BEFORE I PUT THE...

OK SO MY TANK CYCLED VERY QUICKLY WHICH WAS GOOD AND BAD. i USED LR, LS, AND BIOSPIRIA (I ALWAYS USE THE TETRA FRESHWATER VERSIONS IN MY FRESHWATER TANKS AND IT ALWAYS SPEEDS THINGS UP.) AFTER MY NO3 WERE WAY UP AND MY NO2 WERE ALMOST NIL ABOUT 1.5 WEEKS, I DID A 25-30% WATER CHANGE NO3 AT...

YEAH, SO I WONT GO INTO IT BUT WHAT HE DID WAS BORDERLINE ILLEGAL BUT ITS NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE TO GET TOO INVOLVED. THE FREE MARKET WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM. HE WILL PROBALLY LOOSE A TON OF BUSINESS WITH ME GONE(HEHEHE) WHAT ABOUT THE CLOWN SITUATION? HAVE TO HAVE 2 FOR THEM TO BE HAPPY? MY...

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION! I DID MORE RESEARCH AND STUMBLED UPON THE CITRON CLOWN GOBIE. AWESOME FISH! I THINK I WILL GET ONE! THE ONLY REASON I WAS GOING TO GET 2 CLOWNS IS BECAUSE I HEARD THAT IT IS BEST TO KEEP 2 AT A TIME. IF THIS IS WRONG I WOULD BE TOTALLY OK WITH ONE. THAT WAS MY...

THATS AN AWESOME PRICE AND SHOULD WORK GREAT, BUT HOW DOES IT ATTACH? DO I LOSE THE ABILITY TO FILTER WATER FROM ANY LEVEL BUT THE SURFACE SKIMMER IF ATTACHED?

i found this and it seems like a cheap upgrade from my simple pf, but does it work worth anything? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... atid=16729

WELL THE CLEANUP CREW IS DECIDED, AND NOW ITS TIME FOR THE STARS. I WANT MY FISH TO BE VERY HAPPY! RIGHT NOW I AM THINKING 2 MATED CLOWNS AND A GREEN CHROMID. HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS. WHICH CLOWN SUBSPECISE ARE SMALL ENOUGH TO ENJOY THEIR NANO FOR A LIFETIME (10 GAL)? AND 2 WHAT ELSE WOULD...
