My daughter would be most excited! Hmmm.....I'll have to think about it since you think it might be ok. I hate adding anything. I'm paranoid about it. Its so stable right now, I hate to change anything, but I'm glad you think it would be ok. The royal gramma --- he can be a bit territorial...

We have a protein skimmer -- and yes we do water changes. So, you think that it would be compatible? I didn't want everyone to start fighting either. LOL Amy

Hi! Sorry, I don't post much here, but once we got set up (thanks to all of your help) we have had very few problems and I don't have a whole lot of time to get to the forums to read. But I do have a question. This is what we have: 55 gallon tank with: 3 blue/green Chromis, 1 green clown...

hmmmm Anyone near Clearwater FL with a big tank who needs a sandsifting star? Amy

Oh, poor guy! I would hate to think that I'm starving anything. No, we don't have a big tank --- its only a 55 gallon. Is there anything I can try to add to the tank to give it a boost as far a food for him? I don't want to be starving an animal to death :( Amy

Hi! I've had a sandsifting star for over a year now.....I can't remember exactly how long, but probably 18 or 19 months. No problems whatsoever. It has been quite active as far as I can tell and has grown quite a bit. Last week I noticed that 4 out of 5 of his legs had been cut short. I was...

Well, I just don't really care for our LFS. Its the only one in the area that carries marine fish...the other one is too far for us to drive. It isn't all that clean and the fish don't look healthy. The coral doesn't look very good either. I also don't like their philosophy. The owner tried...

She hasn't noticed yet, but I think I'm going to have to teach her something about death....because we don't really care for our LFS's livestock, it always looks sick. So we had mailordered him and I'm not ready to do that again right away...so it will be a few weeks before we have another one.

Thanks for the replies. I guess maybe he was just old :( Now the hard part is going to be explaining to my 2 1/2 y.o. daughter where her favorite shrimp is. Amy

Hi! I don't post very often. I set up my marine tank a little over a year ago after doing a lot of reading on this board and have had suprisingly few problems. I haven't experienced any deaths yet.....Perhaps I am just lucky with that. But anyway, I got up this morning and my scarlet skunk...

Hi! I've got my 55 gallon tank up and running for a little while now. Everything seems to be going well. We have Live sand and about 30 pounds of live rock. We have three blue/green chromis and 1 royal gramma and 1 cleaner shrimp. We were thinking of adding 1 more fish -- a cardianl fish and...

Hi! I 'm new to the marine hobby and have my first marine tank up and running with a couple of fish that seem to be doing well. I'm not going to run out and get coral any time soon...but I've been looking into it as something down the road. I realize that most coral requires more than routine...

Thanks for all the replies. We got it down to 80 with a fan. :)

Yes! I've noticed that they have a keen sense for food...I find them to be very interesting creatures...if only I saw them more often. :) as far as watching them at 1 am....i am afraid that i am never up at that time. My 17 month old goes to sleep at 10:30ish and that's all i can take...i'm...

how would a flashlight help me tell if they can move around under the sand?
