You said the most important thing; which is that you have to do what you see works best for you. It's an awesome thing when we figure out things that equal a success.

I think there are a lot of variables and it the species may play a part. I know carpets often kill fish in a tank and eat them so it is probably okay to feed them but BTA's in general don't need to be fed. A buddy of mine has tons of them and other than water changes, he never touches them and...

I never would have thought that it was safe to put local ocean water in our tanks. .....learn something new everyday.

Sounds crazy & I'm a big fan of crazy!!! Please keep updating with your results and best of luck.

Herbie I just wanted to say "Thank you!" to both you and your wife for having me over. It was a pleasure meeting you both and the other members at your house today and just talking shop. Great looking tank btw. One question..... if you ramped up all of those powerheads at the same time, do...

Awesome! Thanks MadReefer.

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the site and I don't mean to hijack this post but I'm just curious what vinegar does for an established tank? A capful or so of vinegar dropped into a sump on 300 gallons can drop the ph from 8.2-8.4 to well below 7.5 or so. It comes back up in about 15 minutes more or...

I know a guy that lost $1200 in fish due to a $4 domino. He had a 450g and wasn't looking forward to removing all of the rock just to find the little B@$^#&d but 1 day he finally did it. I told him that I put mine in my sump when I got it out and he told me that I was a better man than him...

..........forgot to mention I dunno if it was just my luck or if squarebacks are a little tougher than the others I've had but from my experience, they need to be fed more than my others. Anthias in general usually have to be fed many times a day and my squarebacks are the only ones that...

I don't know how many different lyretails there may be but all of the lyretails I had were an orange/peach coloration. Female squarebacks are yellow. It's hard to tell from your pics because of the lighting & picture quality. Female lyretails have an orange stripe behind their eyes. I'm...

Hi Sunny, I'm liking you're DT . Plans may have changed for Thursday however. Please give me a call when you get a chance.
