    Blue tang $25

    Tempted but I'll pass- Salwaterfish.com has been sending me a lot of emails lately- I'm ( mostly good) for fish right now- but need more coral if anyone wants to give some away ( wink, hint ) lol

    WTT Falco Hawk

    I first thought the Chromis were bullying my Royal Gramma and I thought it was dead- I managed to rescue the Gramma- most of it's tail is gone and it hasn't eaten in a few days- the hawk is in a tank with a full size midas blenny and 2 chromis- open to offers- fish, or frags- healthy appetite

    CUC

    Rainford Goby

    I have a tailspot in one tank- strictly an algae eater. I thought ( from initial research ) that Rainford's were too- found out after I bought one that they actually just eat pods. The tank it's in was cycled with rock from another tank of mine and with fresh aragonite substrate. I'm not sure...

    Lights from Japan+-

    I'm working on algae scrubbers and growing Chaeto, I have a chamber I started for algae with a submersible strip light (white) and it did start to grow some- just got a 12 w led grow light and switched over to that- looking for a second light for either algae or chaeto- found 20/30/50 w grow...

    Tank Bullies

    I have 3 tanks now- each with different fish and I pick them because they're right for the size and supposed to be compatible with other fish in the same tank- in the 13g I have a firefish, Springer damsel, and a sharknosed blenny- all get along fine, in the 30g I have 2 chromis, a falco hawk ...

    Rainford Goby and Pods

    I just got a rainford from a lfs and found out that they really aren't algae eaters like my tailspot ( always a full belly) and that they really feed on pods that are in the algae. So I looked at buying pods online- some aren't expensive on ebay- are they reliable/ ant good? Do I need them? I do...

    Vanishing Ricordia

    I know it's hard to get them to stay in one place and I try to find/put them in a good place, but I have several that have just vanished. Should be easy to find them with just the blues on. I have pretty good flow in my 30g bare bottom. Not really a question, just an observation- I need some new...

    Gobies

    I just added a small yellow watchman goby to my 40b- have 2 chromis and a striped blenny- will there be a problem adding a Rainford goby- seems like their diet is different and 'space' shouldn't be a problem- I just read that you shouldn't mix gobies in a tank

    Watchman Goby and Pistol Shrimp

    I gave up on the 30 gal hex- fish need horizontal space, not so much vertical- I did the transfer today to the 40b and have a sand bed. I want to add a watchman and a pistol- hard to find them paired- can I add the watchman and the pistol later, or do the have to be added together

    Petco

    I just bought salt from Petco and got 25% off- have to buy anything online, spend $50.00 and pickup in store- use coupon pickup25 at checkout- think it's good until the end of the month

    New tank/ old tank- sand

    I'm planning on switching over from a 30 gal hex to a 30/40 gal .the 30 gal was bare bottom and I plan to have a sand bed in the new tank- the hex is cycled and I'll use all the same rock. Can I use sterile sand or do I need to buy live sand or maybe a mix- I figure I'll need about 30+ lbs. I...

    Looking for a freebe/ cheap tank

    I'm giving up on my 29 gal hex- too much of a pain. Would like a 29- 55 gal tank up to 48" x 18" base- no stand needed ( unless you have a larger tank wit stand )- I'm in Morris county and can pick up at your convenience- I'll probably buy a 29 gal from Petco if I can't find anything else. Will...

    I have my 30 gal long cycled and have these fish planned- 2 chromis, royal gramma ( have them ) a midas blenny, 2 green clown gobies, a pink damsel and a falco hawkfish- of course enough coral, just wondering if I can add a bicolor blenny- it's in a lfs - been there for a month hiding in a pvc...

    I was right, I was wrong- and I learned

    This time last year while recovering from covid, having lots of time on my hands I re discovered reefing and that one could do it without a big investment and have a tank with fish, corals and invertebrates on a budget- so i 'dove' in and bought an AIO nano. I was patient and let it cycle slow...

    Tank mates/ breeders

    I've seen where many have clowns that breed and also cardinals- neither excite me- are there other fish that will breed in a 30 gal tank. I'm not really looking to breed fish, but would like to add 'pairs' / 2 of a kind to my tank
