when i first set up my small tank i had apatasia appearing here and there and got 2 pepps they have gone but occasionally one pops up before being devoured. i was told when i bought them they probably wont exhaust all apatasia otherwise they would have no food source.

no i dont have an anemone tank isnt mature enought for another 9/10 month apparently?

you can buy booster pumps mate to increase your water pressure. you can buy them from osmotics.co.uk or at least you used to be able to. apparently your tds will be unstable until you get enough pressure pushing through and your filter will exhaust quicker. gl

hi got a perc to go with my other one about 5 weeks ago and over the last 2/3 week its grown a beard lumpy and white right on its chin, its still swimming and eating fine all para's are fine too. the tank has been running about 8 weeks and everything was cycled prior to setup as it was...

when u say rinse i take it u mean in RO water, and how much to give them? just the same amount as if it were seaweed?

so when i buy an iceberg lettuce from the supermarket for a salad, can i put a bit on the clip for my tangs?? serious question btw as i like to give my pet rat a treat now and again so would like the same for my fish!

ill stay away from the coral obviously but i think i will try and nuke most of them 8O thanks for all your help, much appreciated :D

just to add, could lighting not be the problem as i know colt corals are a fairly low light coral and mine starts to retract after about 9 hours under triple t5's ( about 15" under surface), i used to have a nano with a single 50/50 light and the colt was fine but once i moved to my current tank...

i have 4 red legged hermits and about 10 turbo snails. i have placed a few empty shells for the hermits and the only time they have attacked the turbos is when they fall on there backs, in which case i let them cos its nature in a small glass tank :P but they never bother my corals, tho one of...
