you can place them wherever you want if you have the time and willingness to prune as needed. Generally speaking LPS like Euphillia will grow larger and faster than SPS coral. Euphillia also has very strong stingers meaning they will obliterate nearby non-euphillia corals. Eyeballing your...

welcome!

rotifers are not picky - they will eat dead plankton. I forget what I used before but I purchased some phyto/rotifier diet in a bottle form at the local fish store (before lockdown). Otherwise you could buy live phyto online. costs start to add up quick though.

For what it's worth I would tint the rotifer water more. When it gets to that color (in your pic) it means they are eating and need more food.

it's possible the density isn't very high yet. The bags you have bought there will be good seed material - but not sure if you can harvest them already. As the rotifers reproduce/grow - they will start to leave a little detritus along the bottom and sides of the bucket. You will have to...

hey mickey - So when conditions are right, your clowns should reproduce every 14 to 20 days like clockwork. There is no need to be concerned about losing a batch, unfortunately this is the nature of things. if you are going to try again i would suggest the following first: establish rotifer...

Thanks Mark for everything you do!

North Carolina news: Man accused of abandoning pet fish faces animal cruelty charges

the weather we have had recently has been unusual - some times really warm, sometimes freezing cold. Was this shipped overnight or did you just do the priority mail option? I hate to say it but these "packs" suppliers sell are just a waste of money. You are better off saving your money and...

15 seasons is a long time....

Thanks. One thing different this time around is the usage of a Vossen trap. It's by Chad Vossen. Interesting contraption to help collect the fry overnight from the main display. I'll post a pic later.

Well I am happy to report a living, breathing 2 month old clownfish raised in NJ (ha ha). It was really touch and go at first and I was not able to save it's half dozen siblings. A large number of eggs did not hatch. So i really wasn't hopeful at my odds...but surprise surprise... Here's a...

ok sorry i should have asked this earlier -but the desk can hold the weight? I mean most desks are meant to hold a monitor, pc or what not. But 20 gallons of saltwater = 170 pounds.

I think the removal of the top messed up the tank fundamentals. Otherwise i really liked it.

I had a biocube for many years, except mine lacked the top. I had the heater in the first compartment, the media box like you have in the middle chamber, and right snug next to it was a tunze 9002 skimmer special configured to have the magnet on the side instead of the back. Unfortunately...

what a great "problem". I'd put an emoji here but the ones we have on this site are beyond awful...

I'd add more flow. There really shouldn't be anything growing there right next to the cheato. The cheato should be stripping the nutrients from the tank preventing exactly the kind of nuisance stuff growing there. Adding flow will prevent that crud from accumulating and should have zero...

I like Dangerdave's idea, but most chopsticks are made from bamboo and they float in the water. Wrap enough of them on that python and it will float lol.

I bet he is isn't the original owner of the tank. Also from that pic - it looks like it only has a single overflow as the eggcrate appears to touch front to back. I dunno ...might be a good reptile tank?
