Ok - my crab is either dead or molted. His body/molt is lying in a crevice that I would have to dismantle part of my rocks to get to . . . should I remove it now or wait for my 2 shrimp to eat it? I have my fingers crossed that it's a molt since he seemed really healthy yesterday and the...

My question is - would 2 clownfish OR 1 clownfish and 1 Yellow Clown Goby be more interesting to watch?

I've debated over getting a heater, since the lights keept the tank about 76 degrees during the day, but now that winter is coming . . . .well the tank gets down to 73-74 at night. A regular heater won't fit in my small 5 gallon tank without using up too many room (besides looking ugly). I'm...

Well I just started cycling my new 5 gallon mini-bow tank. Everything is standard except: * I took out the carbon from the filter * I replaced the bulb with a mini-compact flourescent bulb (10W = 50W flourescent) I put in approx. 10lbs. of live sand and 6.5lbs. of live cured rock Pics...

I'm interested in getting a Torch coral or Frogspawn coral in the future, but my LFS don't have any nice colored ones. My question is - is this pic of a Torch accruate concerning the color? Can a Torch really be that bright of a purple with green tips? Thanks!

I can't seem to receive any emails from this form (i.e. notification when I topic I posted under received a new response). I have a yahoo email account . . . is there some way to unblock this forum? Thanks!

Ok I'm getting read to start cycling my tank! I have some very nice cured LR - but I have been reading that you are supposed to scrub the LR with a toothbrush before putting it into the tank. Since I happen to like the colors and growth on the LR I am hesitant to scrub the rock . . . . so is...

Ok I've read all about sea apple's and their nuking power, etc. What no one seems to mention is how active they are in the tank. As a filter feeder are they primarily stationary or do they move around a lot? In other words, do they sit like a pretty colored lump or are they interesting to...

I've pretty much decided against getting an anemone - but I would still like to get a coral that has a lot of movement and could be a host for a clownfish. Lighting and water movement can be changed and there are no other corals in the tank at the moment. So - which would you pick a...

Ok - the more I read about various types of lighting and retrofitting, etc. the more confused I get. I just purchased a 5 gallon minibow - and I replaced the standard bulb with a mini compact 10W (fits in the same ballast - 6,500K). But on the box it says that it is equal to 50W incandescent...

Ok - I'm in the process of setting up a 12gallon DX Nano Cube. But while I'm waiting to cycle the liverock and such I'm stumbled across some amazing coral. Is it possible to keep some soft coral/zooz/LPS in a bucket for a couple of weeks? Or is that just insane? :confused3: Thanks!

I've been lurking for a couple of days, but I finally registered :mrgreen: Right now the only "pet" I have is a 4 year old parrot named Stormy who is occassionally too smart for his own good :tut: He hates other birds - so he gets to stay king of his domain. Stormy does, however, get...

I'm interested in getting a 6 gallon Nano Cube - but this guy has me considering a 12 gallon cube . . . :roll: http://www.vividaquariums.com/10Expand. ... =01-2720-S Could I keep a psychedelic mandarinfish (2.9" fish) in a 12 gallon tank? Thanks!
