We lost a flame angel last week that had been doing completely fine last week, I don't know if that was the mantis or something else. We are both going to be out and about all weekend, we may try and get him tomorrow. We have 2 five gallon acrylic tanks so if we do catch him you can have him...

We were pulling some things out of our 20g when we noticed a mantis shrimp has made its home in our tank. My fiancee thought she saw one a while ago, but this morning we both saw it and yeah it is a mantis shrimp. The little bugger is about an inch long, dark and very fast. I had read if you...

Very nice find.

I don't think you want to mix a couple of six lines, they can be nasty little things from what I hear. If you are looking for a schooling effect it is a bit difficult with a 56 g as it limits your choices. Doing green chromis or anthias would be nice. Depending if you have an open top tank, fire...

He runs his shop out of his house in Brick NJ. If you go to the sponsers area, he has his contact info. Great guy to deal with and great prices.

If there is too much flow on LPS they can start to lose some of their flesh on the side the flow is coming from. Also, there has been some new elegance coral that is being pulled from the deeper water as they have farmed a lot of the shallower specimens so it might actually need lower light. I...

The real question is if you take too many pictures of it will it climb onto your roof and start swatting at airplanes? That is the calcium reactor I want.

Semantics. ;)

I know one should never question the majesty, but I think they moved it to sps/lps and out of photography. So I say frag away baby!

I had not even thought of that, thank you.

We had always intended on moving the flame to a bigger tank and the 20g was well established so we thought we would be OK. It was really weird because for 4 months the flame was happy. He took mysis daily and loved it. We left sheets of nori in there every now and again and he was happily...

Just look for a CPR hang of the back refugium. We have one on our 30g and just bought one for the 20g. We added live sand and live rock and a ball of chaeto to help with nitrates.

I am just hoping it is the one frag and not multiple.

When my fiancee had her 20 setup in law school we had a pair of fire, pair of peppermint, and a pair of camelbacks all together and they did not bother each other. I don't know how big your tank is, but you should be fine with pairs of each. If you can, always get a pair they tend to stay out in...

I had it in a small DTs copepod container filled with water and I noticed it had "dropped" several small things that looked like eggs on the bottom. I think I will just eat the cost of the frag (20$) and go from there. It was already starting to bleach all around where that critter was.

Check out this link from one of our sponsors it give short yet valuable information on the function of each member of the clean up crew. http://www.pacificeastaquaculture.com/ShowProductCategory.aspx?CategoryId=4 Every emerald crab I have ever had became annoying as they molted and started...

It is solid like a tube and the purple part is the end of the tube. I pulled it out and put it in a small container, I do not have much hope for it. I would rather be safe than sorry.

When we made the jump from PC to T5s on the 20 we just took our time. Reduce the time period your light are on drastically and build from there. Also, if you can turn on different bulbs on your set, start with the blue ones and work your way up.

Thank you for the help James.

Just wanted to post a few more things about the tank setup: We cycled the tank for a month with just live rock and the powerheads to get rid of the debris and grow the bacteria. After that we pulled out everything, and cleaned the tank and put down the live sand bed. I also threw in a few...
