you're serious about the yellow tang? I mean i think he's just trying to show him who's boss it's the idols 2nd day in the tank. The tang is sort of the boss of the tank (especially since i made the mistake of putting him in first) so he gets a little aggressive when the other fish (the naso and...

The Video. As you can see the yellow tang is still trying to make sure the idol knows who's boss. <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"...

So i don't know what's going on but that link isn't my video. I'll have to put up another at some point tomorrow. My nerves calmed down for a while after how well the fish was eating but i just read that they can eat fine and then just stop out of no where? here comes the stomach aches and...

Here's the video. i can't believe how lucky i am! i put the fish in the tank and the first thing he does? starts picking the algae of the rock. put some nori in for my tangs and he was picking at that. flakes for the clowns? ate it all. This guy is a pig! <embed width="448" height="361"...

Haha thanks! i've been wanting one ever since i started the hobby. I figured it was worth a try!

Well potentially bad. I was in the lfs today and was on the way over to the tank to pick up a flame angel. i noticed they had a moorish idol in one of their tanks and have always wanted one but stayed away for the same reason as everyone else. I asked the guy how long they had it for and he said...

No ideas anyone? the siphoning idea doesn't work because the algae literally breaks up so it's no longer existant. like it mixes in with the sand as i siphon and it just breaks up microscopically so i cna't sift it out or wait for it to settle on top. so i obviously can't take it out by hang for...

So is sumpless an option?

And what is the placement inside the overflow? that looks great i'll have to try it

right, what i meant by getting rid of the sump is getting rid of the entire set up! haha i hate it all! it's 75 gallons (no live rock. just some fake cement rock that has been in there for about 6-7 months now. soon to be about 40-60 pounds of real live rock)

Not so much the fidgeting as it is the noise. It's an HOB so i can't use a durso and i've tried everything from covering the top of it, to pulling up the sponge to putting some filter media around it. Nothing! it's so loud i want break something! it's in my bedroom where i spend most of my time...

Sanibel is about 2 1/2 hours from where i'll be (boca grande) it's a shame. do you have any experience on catching your own livestock? i wanna learn as much as possible before getting out there

Hahaha the only problem with shipping anything back is no ones home! i'm going on vacation with the entire family

So what other options do i have besides the berlin sump? i'm getting so tired of my sump. constantly fidgeting with it and blah blah blah. What can i do to replace this horror.

Well for starters the rock is just cement rocks. i didn't do anything to them just put them straights in the tank while the tank itself was cyclings. The tank is maybe 6-7 months old. I can't give you any exact parameters because my test kit is extremely inaccurate (even though it was 60 dollars...

from your description it sounds like a batfish http://liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+22+51&pcatid=51 But those are found in south asia so i don't think it was one of those

I'm still at a loss of what to do at this point. i can't siphon it out because as soon as get near it with the siphon is starts floating around everywhere and getting buried in the sand. I can't get it out with anything else because like i said it breaks up instantly. I can't do the water change...

I don't think i took any shortcuts in setting up my tank. My tank has a protein skimmer, a uv steralizer and the wet/dry. I started with an RO unit but the membrane is now shot and i need to get my hands on a new one (setting me back 100 bucks) There is no live rock in the tank because right now...

Yeah just the noise between the gurgling and the splashing it sounds like niagra falls and it's driving me crazy (it's in my bedroom) i've tried everything except this

Thanks. So according to that a license is required for the collection of fish and inverts? i guess there goes that idea! i'm sure the waiting list is forever
