thanks for the advice and instructions and all. (didn't expect that, but again thanks) I wonder what it would do if I added another mini-jet 606 in there and like hid it behind a rock or something. Need to do some thinking. I've seen a really nice thing done with by somebody on NR that...

aww cool, I'm a big Tong's fan. I go there all the time to get all my things just about. The one that was always helpful to me was Natalie. Although the rest of the people there are pretty cool. I need more cool looking frags to decorate my 6 even more. Time to hit it up this Saturday :)

under normal temperature around here in So Cal, the lights alone keep it my temperature at 78 to 79 temperature. I don't keep a heater at the moment, I took it out during this hot summer. During the summer though, good fan or not, the 6 heats up very hot. 86-88. It sucks! If there was a...

fishing pole, bait, and patience, when they bite, pull and reel them in. oh wait, this isn't fishing huh? lol. Best advice out there, use a big net, stick food in it, when they go to swim in there to eat some, swoop them out. :mrgreen:

i agree. In QT, there is no LS, and no LR. Best thing you can throw in there for a place for them to feel safe, is adding a piece of PVC pipe in there. As for pictures, you need to post one regardless so we get an idea of what it looks like. If your fish had ick, best treatment recommended...

This is all how you are going to learn from it all. Trial and error. You are learning from what you are doing. It appears with you stirring things up, you did create a small spike. Just have to wait and monitor and see if it comes around. As for your clowns, it's very important you can get...

how cool, everything is back to normal and looks great !

You can also try Iodide, that's stuff is safe. As if you overdose with iodine, it can kill. Iodide you can add a little more than the recommended and nothing bad happens. I used Iodide , and my shrimps and crabs dont have any problems molting. When high levels of iodine start getting up...

the molts become real brittle and start breaking up. Some things in there may tear at it and eat some parts, but as I've seen it, I just see the molt one day, then the next day it's almost gone. As for crabs, with their shells, it' just breaks all apart, and gets crushed into smaller pieces...

well, you do have the chiller, so even if it heats up, it'll cool back down. :cool1:

try a bigger water change too. Where you getting red slime hitting you? Is it just one area? Or is it spread all over the tank? If just one spot, you'll need to adjust where the flow is maybe to see if that helps. As for the stuff you are using. How long has it been in there? how...

no problem, just trying to help. I was able to keep the mandy alive for 6 months, before it died. (as it ate prepared foods, mysis, cyclopeeze,) Good luck with your method, it's hard to say what will happen. As for the flower pot, it's a shame, as I see clowns easily adapt into them...

Well nobody has said anything about two of your purchases, so I'll have to be the one to say it unfortunately. Your "Froggy" mandarin you have there....it will die ultimately of starvation. It requires a tank of about 75 gallons. They feed only on copepods, and that is something he'll eat...

Hey April: How are you pom pom crabs doing? As for mine, it died two days ago. :( I saw snails snacking on him. My anemone shrimp died yesterday and in a brutal way. Somehow I must have gotten starved guys I'm thinking. Since owning them, I couldn't get them to eat, so they got weaker...

i doubt they'd go near each other. The Citron goby just sits and perches, a lazy fish. The Yashi goby is real jittery and probably hide most of the time. They'll come out more if you get them in a pair.

Those Nassarius snails pop up regardless whenever they smell any food. Every time I put in flakes, mysis or whatever, they'll rise. Cool thing to see. My clowns are also impressive fish to see, as they go nuts during feeding. They fear nothing and they also eat directly out of my hand.

I've had the organ pipe and doing well since February this year. 4 months more and I complete a year :) I dont know if you remember, but it was in my pico tank when I first started one, before I tore it down and made my 6 gallon jbj tank.

too much work :P For the lazy like me, I went and bought the dish where, when they hatch, they all swim to the middle where the hole is and where light hits it. Then, they are attracted to it. With all of them swimming in the middle, you just scoop them all and put them in your tank, and all...

my frag of organ pipe is doing just fine. I'll be stoked if it lives after a year. Then Incysor will know 2 people who have kept it alive for so long :P

i use the frozen bar kind myself. Lasts a very long time. Put in some tank water to dissolve/melt and then add it to your tank.
