Water in the oceans temp can vary based on tides, weather, seasons. I also think the addition of a window AC is better option then a Chiller. If the temp in the room is 99 and your tank is at 80, that chiller is worked very hard to keep the temp down. With an AC the room will be 75, so your...

Judeo, I agree with tristan on temp not always being consistantly at one temp and that little swing is good. If you need anything call me and let me know. I got ROOOM.

Your right The problem is that even though they know its illegal, alot of times they dont care and think the reward out weighs the risk. I treat my fish/anemones/corals like any other pet. It is on me to provide them to good husbandry so they can survive. When i fail i have failed the animal...

No problem Mp. Only time will tell. I just wish some more fish were coming from png. Those luecokranos!!! I have told matt i find these fish to be very intriguing. They are a actually pair of wild caught fish that had babies and is a pattern no one has really seen before. We are in the...

Normally i would agree with you on this but these fish from a wild caught pair. This pair came from pNG, this was not genetic fiddling. These are the babies from one clutch of eggs. No more clutches have been laid. Genetic Fiddling is the person who buys the two from the same parents. A dream...

Location Judging by the location of the eggs your going to have to manually collect the fry once they hatch. Do you know exactly how many days between hatches they going? To collect enough fry to make it worth while you need to get it down to the hatch night and close to the the hour when...

More More Pictures!!!!!! Congrats on the new tank.

Ok i thought that said stripped clingfish, it seems they are both given the clingfish common name. I always thought they were cold water fish.

Leds Most LED pods like AI or Radion really need to be hung at least a foot above the tank to get the right spread. Its helps alot with coverage as well.

Sounds like your good to go then. I ask because i like people to read it and maybe it will make them realize that its a disaster waiting to happen.

i would consider going with a RBTA clone or a regular gbta or rbta. If mushrooms are doing ok thats about the hardiness level of a BTA. Do you have exposed pumps like tunze or vortech?

Have you noticed any spikes in your levels. I would say give it till this weekend. After hurricane sandy i set up my new display system and after about 10 days of running it i added my mertens carpet anemone and my chrysogasters. I dont think youll have a problem with a bubbletip. Did you have...

Anemone Did you use your old water and new sand and existing rock?

You might have a female and sub adult which is in the phase of changing. Its very hard to tell without seeing them in action. If the other one doesnt shimmy or shake its more likely they are both female or one is and the other is changing to one. I would see if you can trade the smaller one...

They must be captive bred clowns. Does the smaller one ever shimmy or shake when the larger one comes over or does it just try to fight back? How long have you had them and what size were they when you first got them? One scenario is if you picked them out of a tank full of clowns you may have...

Do you have any anemones? Where does the larger more aggressive one hang out? How big are they compared to each other? You may have two sub adults which means they are turning female.

I would just be careful with mixing BTAS sometimes they can become aggressive towards other nems. Larger hosting anemones can be extremely aggressive toward other anemones LPS and shrooms and zoas.

Alot of it has to do with lighting but as your said alot of them will color up to a more red color. Ive seen orange BTA's but once you start getting into yellows and neon colors it can be bleaching, like a green BTA can look yellow when slightly bleached. Reds can be pink multicolored when...

I did this with a white bonnet clown. Take your baby golden stripe and put it in the breeder box. See if they one you have goes after the clown in the box. If not let it go for about a week in the breeder box. If he attacks at first its gonna be a long time in the breeder box. How big is...

Just be careful with anything that can sting. Most cephlapods have skin that is prone to getting stung.
