  7. Tomato Clownfish & Long-Spined Sea Urchin

    Sadly, I am downgrading my tank since I am about to buy a place. I'd like to find a nice home for my tomato clown and long-spined sea urchin. The tomato clown is a female, about 1.75" long, and is good for semi-aggressive tanks. She's ballsy and doesn't get bossed around by my puffer. She eats...
  8. Sea Urchin: Go or Stay?

    I recently bought a long-spined sea urchin to clean the algae from my tank. It's been doing a good job... but a little too good. It is now scraping coralline algae from my live rock to the point where there are little white spots showing all over from underneath what was once a purple...

  13. Rebuilding Tank with "Old Tank Syndrome"

    I've had a 45 gallon tank for about two years now, and I've been neglecting it (water change once every 3 weeks to a month), with dire consequences. A while back, I started getting green hair algae all over the tank, and now it is a red slime/hair algae that just keeps coming back. I've also...
