Generally they will go after fish when they are sleeping, easier catch. Sally lightfoots can also get really big, and are aggressive. People still sell them and include them in CUC packages, but they do not belong in tanks with fish IMO. I would get them out.

Just saw in your other post about the tang that you have sally light foot crabs. They will kill and eat fish, I would remove them.

That sumpy maelstrom can be a stomach turner for sure. Glad things went well.

Another zoa head, this club is pointing in the right direction lol. Great list.

Unfortunately fish can have different personalities, and a bully will be a bully. If you want to have other fish in your tank, I would pull him. Also, since he is established, he will really take a nasty attitude towards new comers.

30 inch depth crew here, and it is quite awesome. 24 is no slouch, but if you have the room go bigger. Nicole has a stool and can reach most of the tank. If you want to come over and check it out and play around, let me know.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes.

In that sized tank you should be ok, most anthias are generally peaceful. Adding a female to the male might help if there is any aggression. Squarebacks do get bigger and are different enough from the bartlets that you should be ok.

They were waiting to finish up RAP Orlando and now they are focusing on RAP NJ/NY. I spoke to Vic on Monday and he said I should have the email soon.

I will have an email soon from the RAP team with all the time slots and everything for those who want to volunteer. I will let you guys know once I have that.

Looking great.

I would agree that a sump would be a great idea and opens up a ton of options for filtration. A GFO reactor is used to run GFO which keep your phosphates lower.

We generally will go a long weekend maybe, but that's really it (2-3 days). It can be done for five, but as Ed said above adding in an auto feeder will help tremendously. If you dont' want to, start feeding twice a day leading up to leaving to "fatten" them up a bit and go from there. If you...

Question 1 on salinity: I would probably want to be at 1.026, however if you are not doing corals or inverts at all, you could probably get away with less. Fish stores generally keep fish at lower salinites for lengths of time with no issues. I still would want it at least over 1.02 but that...

Also just pre ordered the defroster, looks awesome.

Welcome to the club and looks like you are off to a good start. We have run nanos (12 to 34g) for years so we have a little bit of experience with them. A couple of quick notes in random order: Look for a HOB skimmer. It will help keep your water cleaner much better than the Aqueon power...

Hair algae on the sand is a bit much but it should go away. The good news is it is easy to vacuum out from there.

If it were me I would toss it. That is a little too long to have it thawed.

I am in Point pleasant and can give you some.

We are probably headed down for part of it, have not booked anything yet.
