Did you mean yellow-eyed KOLE tang as opposed kobe? Must be watching too many laker re-runs or eating some very expensive steak. ;D
so...just because the chromis get together when frightened - is that what you want to see in terms of "swimming in unison"?
To me - you're choices are limited...
wow - that is so awesome! I didn't know anyone kept dominos in their reef tank. I had one long ago and it was a terror among the damsels. How did you find a mated pair? Did you get 4 of them and let them sort it out?
Blange3 is right on. Of course if you saw his FS in his tank - you'd know he's like the subject matter expert of LPS! 8)
Years ago I bought a 3 head frogspawn and the "transaction" occurred on a NYC subway platform in like 95 degree weather. My FS looked exactly like that by the time I got...
Interesting detailed description on the Emerald - it's a complete rip right off of reetopia's website. I guess people don't even bother trying to pretend to write their own fact sheets.
This "cleaner" makes me laugh:

apparently you can just buy a single (unmated) one for a low low price of $899.99.

Surface tension of water creates the bubbles that allows a protein skimmer to function.
A cool experiment would be to take a bowl of salt water and running an airstone. See how the bubbles form. Then place your bare hands in that same bowl and see if the bubbles are as large as they were...
agree with paul b...
found this also:
"It's also illegal to take lobsters that have eggs under the tail or are marked with a V-notch on the right flipper, signifying that the lobster is female. If the lobster is damaged so that you can't to tell whether or not it has been V-notched, it's...
I wouldn't get a uv for a reef tank- but that is just MY 2 cents. They work wonders on keeping the water clear in freshwater ponds - but their usefulness in a reef tank is debatable.
unfortunately manufacturer ratings are over-stated and to make matters worse the Sea Clone is about as bare bones a piece of equipment as you can buy. The classic "you get what you paid for" applies.
That stated - to obtain a consistent froth - you need to ensure that a) you're not sticking...
were you using red sea pro? Be happy to give you a bucket to help out - but i'm a bit north of you. Maybe when you're up here for Dr. Jim I could somehow meet to give it to you.
Wet floors are slippery. Dolphins love to splash. So the folks who run the Brookfield Zoo should have known accidents were bound to happen, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Cook County Circuit Court.
Allecyn Edwards sued the Chicago Zoological Society and the zoo because she claims they...
i do not like to contradict the guy with the abby normal avatar (lol) ;) - and I would agree and even say that hermit "crabs" can be predators as well. But that stated - the only crab I trust in the reef is a porcelain crab.
i would think that is a great idea unless you're the type of person who likes to eat the crab roe - then why are you wasting good food?!? lol.
Also - female blues are nasty when pregnant (or course they are nasty regardless) - I take it you killed it while alive?
I've seen them sold without...
when you say a "valve" cracked - i'm not following. Is this an ATO that somehow got stuck? I'm really sorry for all your losses...just trying to understand how it happened.
