    Spaghetti worms

    I suddenly have a large outbreak of spaghetti worms in my tank. I know they are harmless, but looking at all those white strings is fugly. Any ideas on how to get rid of them?

    Yellow Tang with a Purple Tang

    If memory serves, purple tangs are aggressive as far as tangs go. But you should be OK if the yellow is bigger and the purple is the last tang to be put in the tank.

    coral banded shrimp... good idea or bad idea in my reef?

    My CBS leaves everyone alone. One thing that happened to him was he got stuck to a powerhead intake and lost EVERY appendage. He could not move at all for a good 2 weeks until he molted again. I picked him up and put him right in front of the tank so I could spot feed him. Needless to say, he...

    Upgrading light question

    With a crouded tank its a little more difficult. But you will want to place everything as low as possible and work the pieces up slowly to the respective places you want them to sit. I have seen people use light diffusers on the top of the tank to help shadow the light a bit.

    hatching brine

    Yea, I would steer away from brine for horses. Anything captive bred should be eating frozen Mysis and is MUCH healthier for them.

    I'M BAAAAAACK!

    Welcome back! Sounds like you have Alien vs. Predator going on in your tank. Curious to know what is doing all of that.

    What bulbs should i get?

    I would say that as long as it fits properly in the hood, it should be fine. 65 watt is 65 watt.

    What bulbs should i get?

    I have only been able to find a 6700k/10000k combo bulb in square pin config not staight pin config :( . As far as more yellow looking... Yea, if you only have that one bulb running it is a little more green/yellow which I mentioned earlier. But with both bulbs running I see no difference at...

    What bulbs should i get?

    I wouldn't. that means you have 32.5 watts of growth and 97.5 watts of color. If you do not want to use the duel 6700k <I recommend you do> then go with the duel 10000k and the 420/460 duel antinic <blue/purple>. I think AnDom1 is refering to the bulbs called 50/50s. Each bulb has 1 10000k and...

    What bulbs should i get?

    PM sent but I will repost here. I have a 130 watt coralife fixture on my 15 gal. As you know it comes with a 10000k and a duel blue antinic. Well, both of my bulbs blew out and I replaced them with a 6700k and the duel antinic where one bulb is blue and the other is the true antinic <purple /...

    How long do BTA's eat for?

    All anenomes close up. They fill up with water and digest any nutrients out of the water then they clentch up to spew the used up water back out. My Sebae anenome did this a lot until I started to feed it every 2-3 days with a silverside. The only time I see him balled up is if I missed a...

    Aquatraders MH lighting?

    I do know someone who has purchased from them just for the hood/bulbs. Then went and put in an Icecap Ballast and tossed the stock one away. Thing works like a dream and ended up saving a few hundred dollars by adding a little DIY to the unit.

    what's the real deal on the captive bred fish industry?

    Also "buyer beware!" Just because something is labeled captive raised, does not mean that it is. Most LFS buy from the same distributers in the area and some do direct shipping. Unless the purchaser of the store really does his homework, he has to trust the person that he is buying from that the...

    Fire Fish

    It just happened. I have had the fish for... roughly 4 months?? I started with 1 firefish. 2 weeks later I got another and they both nipped at each other for about a week. From that point on, they have been swimming together and living in the same cave together. You never see one without the...

    Fire Fish

    Well, interesting enough, my Fire Fish bred! I had 2 babies about an 1/8" long swimming around my rocks the other day. Look just the parents but tiny! I have not seen them in a few days and I thing they got either eaten or sucked up into the skimmer :'( . Now I am going to have to watch for more...
