Well the dottyback will just have to be sold. We had the mandarin for over 5 months and we put more effort into making sure that fish did well due to their needs. At least we will be more prepared for the new one.

It all comes down to preference. We love ornamental shrimp and have a pair of cleaner shrimp in each of our tanks. We also like fire shrimp although they hid a bit more.

You can really pick almost any fish from a few groups. A pair of clowns is always a crowd favorite and you can choose between many colors/patterns. If you do a pair of clowns you would be able to do maybe one other fish. Gobies you can do 3-4 of them and choose from many different ones and even...

You should be able to do 3 fish in a 16, but those can all be pretty aggressive fish. Six lines can also go after inverts.

In our 30G we had a pair or picasso clowns, an orchid dottyback, a mandarin, and a goby/pistol shrimp pair. They all got along just fine and the orchid was never ever ever ever aggressive. In fact he hid most of the time whenever we were around. We added a coral beauty angelfish to the mix and...

What were you thinking for fish? I think you will be fine without a skimmer. You could also look into a HOB refugium and put carbon and phosban in there and forego the skimmer.

There are a ton of different options out there as far as nanos go. The question you have to answer is what are you looking to keep in that nano? Size and lighting will be the two biggest factors as far as cost and what system would fit you best. Also look at this thread...

We use PCs on the 12g and I keep mushrooms, zoos and some LPS in there. The 20g has T5s and we can keep almost anything in there depending on position. The mushrooms and zoos in there are doing very very well. MH on a tank that size would be overkill and you would have huge heat and evaporation...

We do 10% weekly on all of our tanks. The 30 g is a bit different because of the open top and evaporation we get so we are adding a gallon almost every other day of RO. You don't have as much room for error with a nano due to the small volume so weekly water changes are a very good thing.

Have not been to Red Sand, but I have been to both OGII and AO and they are great. I will drive over an hour from central jersey to go to them. Very much woth the trip.

We use the phytogold-s, haven't noticed anything outstanding but it certainly has not hurt any of our corals.

You might want to pm Pete43 he had a medusa worm get sucked into a powerhead and crash his tank. You might want to ask him what his water looked/smelled like afterwards. onefish2fish also had his corals crash a tank during a move and might be able to help you out. Here is pete43 thread...

I have seen them at Robbies Reef before, I am sure if you PM him he can get them in for someone.

Pulled this off of wiki regarding sea hares When disturbed, a sea hare can release ink from its ink glands, providing a potent deterrent to predators. This release acts as a smoke screen, while at the same time, adversely affecting the smell sensors of their predators. In a small environment...

We are using their magnesium, Vitamin C, Garlic, and phyto. We like their products.

Lobsters are a predator in nature and they can do the same thing in your tank. If you keep them well fed chances are they will not go after anything else, but they can. Other inverts and smaller bottow dwelling fish can become food to them. I have heard they like to rearrange your aqua scaping...

Congrats!! Sometimes is just takes some time, now good luck getting them away from it. :)

Coco worms are much more attractive but also much harder to keep. They generally get much bigger and need very very good water quality. Feather dusters are much easier to keep and are more forgiving with water conditions. We have kept feather dusters for years and have yet to make the jump to...

I have not moved away from the 50/50 bulbs that I have in the 12g. I have gotten great growth and color out of my zoos and LPS. I am not saying that playing with the bulbs will get you better growth, just have never tried it so I don't want to comment either way.

Yes it is in AC. Here is the website http://www.macnaxxi.com/
