    Your favorite CUC members and Why?

    My favorite snails are the nassarius as they keep the sand bed stirred and are actually interesting to watch (ceriths as well). Hermits are all a necessary evil, they can be nasty little buggers but they do help the tank. Our chestnut snails with the orange snails are also really cool (before...

    Peaceful, Non-jumpin and schooling fish that wont overrun a 40G

    Any fish can jump, we just had a cleaner goby jump out of our 20g. I have heard of clowns and angels jumping as well. Sometimes you just get unlucky. Clowns will host anything they become comfortable with. My clowns currently host zoos in my 12g and before we got the anem they hosted frogspawn...

    What up

    We have a coral beauty in a 30g and he can be a bit bossy and aggressive. I am sure in a 90g one would be fine. We have a mixed sps and zoa tank and have not seen him nip anything, and we do keep him well fed.

    harlequin shrimp

    Harlequin shrimp are not hermaphoditic like cleaners and the rest so if you want a pair, make sure you are buying them as a pair. If you get two males they will fight especially over the food. We just added a new star after they decimated the old one. It is cool to watch them feed but it can...

    Which fish to add?

    I think you made a great choice with the clowns, pairs always seem to do better. The corals you picked should also do well, as most of them are pretty low maintanence. As James said, now we just need the pics.

    harlequin shrimp

    I had a pair of harlequins for a while and eventually got rid of them (one sold the other eaten by a hermit during a molt). I got chocolate chip stars at trop. They are the cheapest option out there but they are not reef safe. You can also get sand sifter stars, but they run a bit more expensive...

    Restarting... 18g

    If your zoas are not opening, do a furan II dip. I recently bought some purple people eaters that were great for a week then stopped opening. I did three half hour treatments and they were back open. I have to do another treatment soon, but the stuff works and it is cheap.

    New to the hobby....hello to everyone and some questions.

    Trops live rock goes from 7 to 11 bucks a pound depending on what type. Again, you can get it cheaper elsewhere, but they do have really good live rock.

    New to the hobby....hello to everyone and some questions.

    If you don't mind paying for it Trop has great live rock. I have never had a problem with their live rock and have never had any bad hitch hiker. The first time I bought live rock form another source, it has mojamo and apstia on it. I was lucky as they were rubble pieces which I promptly threw...

    Acan Help

    I have noticed on my acans they will inflate deflate a lot. You know you have a problem when you see recision and the "skeleton" starts to show. Also, how are the colors?

    New to the hobby....hello to everyone and some questions.

    Welcome to the site and the addiction. We buy all our RO and saltwater from trop for the time being. The RO is 50 cents a gallon and the saltwater is 1$ a gallon. They also sell the 5 gallon jugs which is nice. We have also bought our liverock and live sand from Trop as well. I am sure you can...

    What's gotten into my clowns?!

    I had never felt like more of a wuss when I first got a pair of clowns and was afraid to put my hand in the tank. They little buggers kept biting me and even though it doesn't really hurt it was quite a surprise. Now I am used to it and let them nip away as I scrub the algae. I guess that is the...

    10k vs 14K MH bulbs (pics)

    The frogspawn actually turned into an anemone, it was a hermit crab that turned into the birdnest. ;) So far I am very happy with them, I will try and get a shot of the difference in the anemone with the new bulbs, really brought out some great colors in him as well.

    75 Gallons of Entertainment! The build begins...

    The little green bubbles are probably bubble algae, cannot be certain without a pic but it sounds like that. Those you want to remove very carefully because if they burst the spores can go all over your tank.
