    So day 2 of Beauty (aka Black Beauty) of being in the tank and it seems it has stopped nipping and chasing coco (orange). Right now they kind of stay near one another where Coco follows along and sometimes wanders away for a second. I fed them some brine shrimp today and they both ate plenty...

    Hoping they pair off soon. I'm going to try the overfeeding yrick thanks! They're both tank raised false oscelaris amd from various readings shoul be capable of being in the same tank. To the other poster about his maroon they are very nice fish, but very agressive. I saw a bonded pair at AF...

    Today I added a black clownfish to my tank with my orange false perc who has been there for about a week and half. The black one is larger than the orange. They've only been in the tank together for about 12 hours and I've observed te black nipping or biting at the orange. It is not...

    Welcome To NJRC! Take a minute to introduce yourself

    You can say that again, DXSOR is my friend from college and he has to keep me in check from going out and spending $ on things heh. But I must say if I'm feeling out of it or tired or anything when I sit and look at the fish tank and see my clown and everything it kind of brings a peaceful vibe...

    He is doing really well, seems healthy and exploring the tank. He is a bit odd in the fact that at night he likes to sleep kind of on an angle part on his side, part upright against the rear corner of the glass. Tomorrow if my water levels checkout and are in good standing after my water...

    Biocube - adding fish

    So tomorrow I pick up my black clown fish <getting from absolutely (ridiculously priced) fish, but only LFS in the area I found with them. They said theirs is tank raised and I asked to see it be fed, seemed to be okay. Can't wait!

    I'm in the market for a new phone

    Personally I have an iphone and I love it, it takes some getting used to as far as strictly touch screen and typing, but otherwise I couldn't ask for more. Mine is jailbroken and unlocked, so I can theme it etc., but if I were you I would either do the droid or iphone. The droid is relatively...

    t5 lighting question

    Edward if he was to buy one of those units he posted would the cooling be effective enough or are you saying he may need to upgrade the fans to higher flow ones? With the way things are headed it looks like I may be doing either a 30 gallon or 40 gallon soon and was also wondering about...

    Brownish Algae?

    I have some crazy hair looking stuff growing on my liverock. Wondering if it is safe to have or what I need to do to correct this? I believe one of my hermits ate one of the snails as I found a shell/what seems to be a dried up carcass <not sure> I will post pictures soon as i can!

In the tank I have 1 ocellaris clown, about 12 snails, 2 hermits, and then a purple hammer, and blue mushroom coral I've had the tank setup for about 2 months now and the LFS said that my levels are all where they need to be. I am/would like to plan...

    14g Biocube questions

    So today I went to buy the koralia nano, while there all my water levels were at great levels! So since my levels seem good I asked what kind of corals I could do or would be good for a tank such as mine. I bought a purple hammer and a blue mushroom. I will post pictures soon of them. I have...

    Its not really subermersed the water is still flowing through it i would think since the water flows from top to bottom of the chamber. I was wondering also should I add a Koralia Nano or 1 to increase waterflow?

    Which is why I think I'm done investing money in it at the moment and going to let it do its thing and keep taking care of it. My hopes or idea is for spring to do a 40 gal breeder or maybe larger :x. This is kind of my baby setup to learn everything. Between now and say May I will continue...
