I had a Bluestripe Pipefish in my aquarium for a little over a month... thick and happy... I decided to get some more as they were an interesting addition and added a mated pair... after the acclimation process, I added the pair and the two males began fighting immediately. My wife was able to get it on video... they seem to be getting along now... meaning staying apart and giving the alpha the right away... interesting video:

I have an APC UPC on my tank just to power heater and MP10... I figure the least stuff on it the battery, the longer it would power it... they can do without lights for a while but definitely not heat and flow... BTW... really regret putting my tank so close to a window... lessen learned...
-
After drooling for one of these, I finally pulled the trigger on buying one... just got it in my tank yesterday, but it seems to be happy.
-
I had pep, cleaner, and fire in my 57G mix with several acans and have never had a problem... I think the pep gets enough food from my feedings not to be interested in them i guess...
-
Clint, thanks for all the frags... the colors and health of very thing is amazing! All the acans, chalices and sps are doing great! I actually think the last patch from you included a Lime in the Sky... the color is awesome on that thing.... thanks again.

I always dread springing a leak... but I can only imagine the pressure and volume of water in this aquarium with 2 1/1 ft acrylic walls.... Story
-
I had seen some suspended aquariums before... Link... but no where near or in the same category as this...
-
Definitely a lot of variability in blenny behavior... I was actually talking to someone else who said their Tailspot was munching away on coral... I do wonder if the diet I was feeding was not sufficient and cause the nipping... mainly cyclopeeze and seaweed sheets on clips... they might just need more steady source of veggies like some flake food... or I just got an insane blenny!
-
I have to agree with JamesL... no algae on plate coral - he was just going to town on it. I double checked his ID... he was sold as Ecsenius lividanalis.. which I thought was a combtooth blenny... this picture is a dead ringer for him... http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+23+2105&pcatid=2105 I guess I should have checked here first...
-
I guess I should have qualified with "Blue and Gold Blenny"... I have heard the Tailspots are safe but that is what I heard about these guys too...
-
Despite all I heard and what they told me at Aquadome.... Blennies are not reef safe. I purchased a Blue and Gold Blenny (combtooth) on Sunday... today I notice all my monti's, caps, leng sy, etc have what look like small scratches or patches missing... I looked and wait and saw the bloody fish just nipping away at them... it wasn't easy to catch him, but I finally got him and put him in an isolation net... probably going to dump off at RCA... now to get my corals to heal!
-
hahaha... thanks for the clarification... so what does a frag of My Miami run? I think I already gave you a kidney but might have some other body parts left. )
-
Does your Miami Hurricane have a green rim on it?
-
I think this one is more amazing than the last one... stop teasing... which are you getting? are you getting both!!!!
-
They look like sponges to me... they grew in my aquarium too but mine were yellow in color... if it is a sponge, then it is a could sign of a healthy aquarium.
-
my pH is about 8.0... salinity runs 1.022 to 1.023 - depending if i did a water change (weekly 10%). My temperature is set at 78 - 80 deg. CA is 480 and ALK is 9... no traces of phosphates, nitrates, or nitrites... They were damaged (had some red bruising on the side when i got them)... I might be asking for tank raised from now on... Any other recommendations for a hearty schooling fish?
-
Thank you... never tried Reefs2Go but heard good things... i might give online a try.
-
I have tried 3 and 4 groups of Chromis from two different LFS, and I have had none make it... I check my parameters and have not found any cause... has any one had any luck with them? is there any secret to getting them acclimated? Any good online stores with quality Chromis? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I have use J-B Water Weld... have not had any problems and it is drinking water safe... I buy it at Home Depot
-
+1 on Kenya Tree... I found a Cowrie-like snail... I removed it to be safe...
-
I was thinking about undata and confusa... how much would frags be?
-
Not sure if you have enough interest, but I would be interested in smaller frags if you go that route.
-
I mistakenly added Marco rock (dry rock) to a new tank build... had a mini cycle with a lot of diatoms... started using TLC for Saltwater Aquarium and have seen a significant reduction... Just started using it but will continue to use it for maintenance... BTW, Shane said SAT is really geared for hair algae and said I need the TLC for Saltwater Aquarium for diatoms and maintenance.
-
Where did you get your yellow tang from? I was considering adding one to my aquarium. Also, what is your experience on their aggression? Any problems?
-
Tang did not make it.... what would have done this? are my other fish safe?
