    More Flat Worm Problems

    My six-line didn't seem to do anything. My blue velvet damsel didn't seem to at first, but it may have lately. I'm just not sure. Salifert seemed to work pretty well, but I'll probably need to dose again at some point. If I were truly doing what I should, I would have a qt tank to dip...

    The Goniopora Secret

    The branching alveoproras are said to do better than gonioporas. I think they're all sort of problematic. B

    refugium upgrad

    I'd ask Nick to build it for you. A mag 5 at 4' should give you approx 310gph, which should be fine for a 20g. B

    Filterless Tanks?

    Since a fortnight is two weeks you should change 4g. If possible it'd be better to do 2g weekly. FWIW, I'm also running a red sea prizm on my 25g small predator tank. It's not the best I've see by far, but it does a fair job and they're pretty cheap. They're also relatively small which...

    20 or 29?

    Watts per gallon is a nearly useless rule. You will not be able to keep anything in the 20g, that you can't keep in the 29g, just because there's less water volume. If you were talking about the difference of 130w over a 5g tank, and a 30g tank that would be different but a 20 and a 29 are...

    Fish for a 2.5?

    I just got another one on Friday. He didn't start eating until Last night. I fed the tank cyclopeeze, brine, and mysis each night and watched him closely. Friday, no luck. Saturday, no luck. Finally last night he went after first the bine, then the mysis as well. Now as long as he wasn't...

    Strange lumpy thing

    That's a better pic. It looks like mini serpent star legs to me. If you've got legs sticking out of different holes several inches apart, you just have several stars. It's not the same star. B

    new lights

    With an upgrade in lights you need to be careful to shorten your photoperiods so things have a chance to adapt. Or put several sheets of plastic screen material over the top of the tank and over time take a layer of screen off every few days to a week, (depending on how much of an upgrade it...

    20 or 29?

    Go with the 29. You'll be keeping the same corals in either tank since you've chosen your light. The 29 will just give you more room for more of them. Other than the stand, the cost will be similar enough that you might as well go with the bigger one. B

    Strange lumpy thing

    I was gonna say its a sponge as well. The feelers could be starfish like mikhaail guessed or it could be any number of rock-dwelling worms. B

    Filterless Tanks?

    If I were very anal about doing my water changes like clockwork, I could see doing this, but there are times when I miss for a week or two. I prefer to have the filter for that situation. I think it works fine if you are really regular about water changes and you're very lightly stocked when...

    mushrooms eat shrimp

    Mushrooms are more closely related to anemones than corals. Different ones reproduce differently. Some spawn like corals, some will simply split in two. Others will detach from the rock and leave a small piece behind that will grow into a new one. B

    Updated pics

    I've been stocking it very slowly. A piece here and there. My wife decided she wanted to tear down her 10g, so I took a few of the pieces that she had and added them. I've been meaning to start adding some kind of watermark to my photos for awhile, as several of them have been used for...

    ok one more lighting question

    First. Take the caps lock off. All caps is the internet equivalent of shouting in our faces. Second. Yes and no. If you just want to do a fish-only, (FO), tank. Maybe with some plastic decorations yes. Your fish don't care a thing about lighting. If you want to do a reef tank, or a...
