Nice tang. Given a chance he will eat like a pig for you. Mine learned to keep an eye on the clips. When I go near to refill them my sohal will wait right there. He will usually start munching on the new lettuce or nori while I still have my hand in the tank to attach the clip.

In that tank there is only ocellaris. So they may not go in.

Unfortunately when you changed the sand out you did upset your system and basically started over. You will probably go though all the nasties again you already went through until you changed the sand out. Drilling the tank is not necessary to add e.g. a refugium to greatly help stabilize your...

You need to give your tank some time. It is still in the baby shoes. Got any other filtration than the protein skimmer, purigen, and phosguard? Any reason you switched to live sand other than looks? Any cleanup crew?

Thank you. I am afraid I cannot take credit for the sharpness of it - it came straight out of my cell phone (Note 4).

Well, yes, it is a saltwater invertebrate. Don't think the marine section has a seperate photo forum.

Long Tentacle Anemone - not hosting anybody yet.

My new Sohal Tang

You are way overthinking this. If it is a hitchhiker, then either leave it be or take it out. So what if it dies and it turns out later it would have been beneficial - you didn't pay for it or plan for it. Someone's beneficial is somebody else's potential nuisance. Bristleworms for example are...

Oh a clam, nice. May you have good luck with it. Eventually I would like to have one as well, but not sure if my tank is ready for it. Besides I cannot add anything for a while - going to move into a house in april (yay no more renting). If you wait for copepods to appear naturally as...

Guy that runs my LFS advised against gorilla glue (don't remember the exact reason) and said to use superglue instead. He uses loctite for attaching frags to plugs. One thing that doesn't work (I tried) is superglueing the foot of an anemone. Eventually the anemone will rip free and start moving.

With any new coral I wouldn't worry for about 2 weeks. Give it some time to get used to your tank. You get lucky sometimes and a coral opens up within hours of putting in tank. But that is exception rather than norm.

Are you talking about the red and blue thingy by the divider? That is not a fish, but colored clothes pins (or some other kind of clip). Open pictures in new tab and zoom in - both pictures the fish are both below the water line.

To add: maroons are always risky from what I hear even in large tanks (I won't attempt to ever have one). Depends on the individual fish, but there is quite a few nasty ones out there that don't get along with anything. Take it with a grain of salt, I only have personal experience with a few...

I don't see how that would be a problem. They all three should get along just fine without any risk. I take it the clown is a smaller one (e.g. ocellaris) - a bigger more aggressive clown might be a problem in your size tank regardless of how compatible the fish are. Even a maroon would get...

Curious about the dedicated AC. Is the reason it is separate so that you can have different temperature settings for house and fish room?

Yes a good point. Is that the norm? It would be great if everybody would do their part in doing the least harm.

It is not a bogus study, it is out of context. A worst case scenario isolated incident. And yet it did happen in one of those catch and release contests.

If you enjoy fishing you should be aware of what you are doing. I simply stated my opinion that catch and release is cruel. If you only wanted people to answer your thread that agree with you, then you should have said so. Here is some food for thought: from...

Thank you. If you end up getting a star polyp, be really careful where you place it. It is hard to remove once it spreads since it encrusts the rock. If you like color, go with the green as they are fluorescent. The pink star polyps don't glow (never seen a fluorescent pink star polyp). The pink...
