Zoanthids do not require any direct feedings. Peppermint shrimp as well as most other species of shrimp will scavenge for any bits of food they can find. When you go to feed your fish the shrimp will probably catch enough to eat. However if your tank only houses inverts that you will have to...

I would personally go with a 30" 2x65watt PowerCompact fixture, made by either Coralife or Current USA. With this amount of light over your tank it will allow you to keep a wide range of corals. You could keep Softies, and LPS although the majority of SPS would prefer more intense lighting. You...

I had a 2.5g pico running a long time ago and really enjoyed the tank. I would like to set up another pico, either a 2.5g AGA or a 3g Picotope. It will have 3-4 Sexy Shrimp as the main inhabitants if the local fish store can order them for me. My old pico had a AC 20 with some carbon however for...

I live in Rochester.

First of all hopefully you do not have the Domino Damsel in the 1g anymore since that size tank isn't large enough for any fish especially a fish that gets 5-6". Mushrooms, Zoas, Capnella, and Sun coral would be good choices for your tank. A 12 gallon is too small in my opinion to comfortably...

Thanks for the comments everyone. :) Yes I'm running my tank open top however I've had my Firefish for 7-8 months now and he has never attempted to jump out. I might look into placing a piece of acrylic over the tank.

Update: The tank is doing extremely well and the corals are growing like crazy. The first Capnella coral that I purchased has split into two seperate stalks and is beginning to split again. The recent Kenya Tree that I added has also grown significantly. I've been eyeing a Mushroom rock at the...

Here are a couple recent full tanks shots. :)

Update: Well I have not posted an update of my tank for quite a while now mainly because not much as happened. The tank is still doing really well and many different critters have started appearing including Brittle Stars, Amphipods, Feather Dusters, and various worms. Adding coral to my...

Wow the tank looks great. Would you mind telling what you are using for equipment? lighting, flow, etc

The tank is coming along nicely. What other coral are you planning on adding to your tank?

Yeah usually I prefer black backgrounds over other colors but for some reason blue seems to work great for this tank.

I changed the background to blue.

I recently purchased a Pink Hammer coral from a local fish store for a reasonable price. Here are some pictures I took of the Hammer:

Thanks for the comments everyone. I just added a small Hammer coral to the tank, and will post pictures of it soon.

Here are a few upclose pictures of the coral:

The tank has been doing great. I added a few more snails to assist with cleaning, and my last fish which is a small Fairy Wrasse. Also added two Mushrooms, and a Capnella coral. A Few Tank Shots New Coral

Update: Here are a few pictures of my Zoa colony and new Cleaner shrimp I add to the tank. Small Zoa Colony Cleaner Shrimp

Well I'm in SE Minnesota and the only fish store I go to now is a new one that just opened up. Exotic World Of Fish is the name of the fish store.

Would this be your first saltwater tank? I would do a simple setup. Around 1lb of live rock per gallon of water and a couple small powerheads for water movement. You could even use a HOB filter and throw in some carbon if you wanted. As for stocking I would only add a single fish such as a...
