Well I am sure your guys in the DT are happy to have a big breakfast this morning.

You are a bit limited in that sized tank...maybe stick to a couple more snails. I have a wide variety of snails, hermits, sea cucumber, peppermint shrimp, cleaner shrimp.

Need more posts before you can PM.

Tuxedo's are strickly algae eaters...safe for that but they will "collect" things.

I had the same tank. Great sand cleaners are conchs maybe one, cucumber like tiger tail again one, and hermits. Don't do too many hermits they will overrun you snail population. That sets up the CUC considering you have some other snails. But those three do a good job on the sandbed. Please know...

Size of tank? Are you talking about clean up crew or chemicals or filtering?

Dr Jim's is going to be loaded with good stuff, he is very conciencious. I second looking to see what people are selling who are getting out ... I got mine that way and was excellent.

I had one in my 24G did well ... lost it when I moved it to 120G so go figure...think it was the lack of algae that did it in.

It will also cut down on bubbles that cause salt creep ... a very good idea.

In your research what is the mortality rate? Honestly....maybe I am heartless...it doesn't appear terrible. Compare it to wild collected fish and looks good.

I know that Tropical Fish Hobbiest had an article sometime in the last year. Strongly not recomended but they did give some ideas if you "had" to have one. I would look it up, I cannot remember the details because I just read it and didn't really have an urge. Huge bioload too. I would suggest...

++++++++1 I have a Mag12 on my return one giant overflow with duel returns......I have the mag12 T'd off once for my reactor and once for the duel returns. If noise is an issue then go for less return pump and more powerheads IMHO. Go with one return pump .... the more flow the greater the...

Glad they are doing well....they are pretty hardy.

I agree with everyone a beautiful fish and very nice tanks too!

How big are the fish...since they are FW fish and if he runs a decent filter with carbon it shouldn't end in tragedy. Just adding some bacteria is going to do the trick. Just do the water changes. Not as hard as salt water. Not that I don't agree there should have been more responsibility from...

They look like regular sized fish until you notice how huge the thermometer looks. ;D Still great job so far.

BTW I don't suggest canister filters for salt water tanks. I have seen them work on FOWLER tanks, but not often. Here is my sump/refugium with skimmer. More or less your basic setup. functioning ...cheato growing Another thing if your able to put a sump in a basement or behing the tank in...

This idea is out there but I have seen a couple shots where they drill a hole INTO the canister filter running wires for a submersible light. They put the fuge in the canister using the canister pump for water motion, live rock, and cheato. Then they clean it out every now and then.

Take the thing's cigar away.

Yeah I will be interested to see how it works too.
