I just set up a 10 gallon pod tank to increase food supply for a mandarin. Will I have to feed it plankton, or can I just use frozen
food? Also, should I wait for the tank to cycle before I add the macro algae? What kind of macro algae is best? Thanks.    Tim

I have read that Mandarin Dragonets will eat Peppermint Shrimp larvae- is
this accurate?
Is it *dependably* accurate- meaning will all Mandarins eat them or just the
odd fish here and there?

I am planning the plumbing for an AGA 180 and I realized that the plumbing
would be much simpler if I had two smaller sumps, one under each overflow.
The problem is equalizing water height between the sumps.  I was thinking of
simply running some PVC pipe along the back of the ...

I have an emerald crab as part of my cleaner crew.  I was wondering if they
are NOT as reef safe as the salesman explained to me.  I have noticed a few
empty shells lately and think the emerald may be eating my snails/hermits
and I haven't seen the brittle star in a while.  Also, I ...

Does anyone know if the Picasso Trigger (Humu Humu?) is compatible with
scarlet hermits, blue leg hermits, Astrea snails, and blue mushrooms?  We
are looking for a new fish, but the old livestock has great sentimental
value.

I am trying to figure out if  need to add more outlets around my tank.  In
the future I want to upgrade to MH lighting and was not sure if my current
set up would be safe adding Mh also.
This is what I have now and maybe you could answer my question.

Any recommendations as to what would work best for removing quite a bit of
old coralline growth from an acrylic tank that has been sitting empty for
two years?  Would like to get tank back into service.  TIA

I've been considering a chiller for a tank on the top edge of the
temperature I want.  I've been looking at literature on the Aqua
Logic, Aqua Medic, and Arctica Titanium brands and they all start to
sound alike.  I'd be interested in experiences any of you have had

I am wanting more web sites with 40 gallon tanks.  I have looked everywhere
I can think of and can only find a few tanks.  I am looking for ideas on
setting up 40 gallon tank.
Thanks

   I've decided to move up from my little 29 gallon fish tank (one clown
fish and three other fish -damsel(sp?)).  Anyway, I want to move up to 100
gallon tank and start keeping a little more difficult fish than clown fish.
   In the two pet stores I went to, I only found one 100 ...

I finally got my very own!
