    Check this out! It's a Mandarin Diner! Video, too! Cool!

    So there is five fish in the 12?!? that is like 4 too many, especially for a 5 week old tank. Of course, that is just my opinion. Jesse

    Well, as for the water changes, I think that you HAve to to that beacuse of the biological load on your tank with the fish. Is it only the two mandys in that tank? Where are the clowns? Try chemipure...that stuff replicates a protein skimmer as far as removing proteins from the water.

    I dont understand what you said about your diatom problem. Is there a shortage of or lots of diatoms. I dont think there is a problem with a LACK of diatoms, but there is with having excessive. If your problem is excessive diatoms, almost all slime algae growth is caused by excessive...

    hello

    nice tank. i , too, have a 16 gallon bowfront tank. You could add live rock rubble to the trickle filter, and make sure you keep the sponge clean if you decide to keep it in there.

    any truth to this rumor

    I SERIOUSLY doubt that is true. That company is growing now more than ever with many new products coming out every month. They may have confused a product discontinuation or something with a company closure...if that is possible. I have experienced that so many of those employees at LFS are...

    Has anyone ever had a Golden Dwarf Moray Eel?

    2.5 gal tank - newbie here and need help

    Sounds like a nice place. Did you ask if they sell ro water? Places like that almost always sell premixed saltwater and ro or ro/di water? Thats the way to go. As far as cycling, you just have to play it by ear. Keep testing your water daily, measuring nitrIte, nitrAte, and ammonia until...

    Staghorn hermit...

    While researching them a little bit, I visited liveaquaria.com and they noted that there are hydroids and bryozoans on their shells that require proper feeding. Is that possible in a small nanotank? Doesnt that require a larger system? And then it notes that the shell shouldnt come in contact...

    NEW PROJECT

    Is the light that you are going are using on the 10 g the same one you used on the freshwater tank? If so, you may want to check the temperature of the bulb (this will be printed on the base of the bulb). Most freshwater bulbs dont provide the right wavelength, or kelvin temperature, for a...

    New nano 40 watt or 80?

    I have the dual current 2x40 watt and it came with one 40 watt 10,000k/6,700k and one 40 watt 460nm/420nm (i think). I just replaced them with dual smartpaqs which are half 460nm and half 10,000k. I prefer the look of the smartpaqs, more of a crisp white/blue look. But definetly go with the...

    Staghorn hermit...

    Has anyone kept a staghorn hermit before? Just curious about these guys. They look pretty cool, but I read that their shell takes special care. Any success with these guys?

    NEW PROJECT

    To be honest, I dont know why you would try to cram 50 to 70 lbs of live rock into a ten gallon tank. Please note that I am not trying to be mean or agressive, but if your goal is to keep what sounds like a pair of mandarins, you should stop. I have never housed a mandarin, but i know that...
