I got this inch and half lobster. The colors are fascinating. Any ID on this little one? Also, it's claws are very tiny. Would it be reef safe for my 28 g nano? FYI, in that nano, I have softies, an acro and pygmy angel, clown, very small damsel and a diamond back goby. I also have cleaner...

I implemented a bio filter to my reef tank at the lowest cost. I used a typical 1 gallon plastic container and drilled holes up top to empty the incoming water from the tank via a small fluval pump. This sits on top of my tank in the halide cabinet. I use a chiller so temp is not a problem. I...

Thanks for the response. I've been told that at Wetwebmedia as well. I'll put him back in the main thank then. He's supposedly just a filter feeder and he's only 1/2 inch big anyway.

Never noticed this little one till tonight. Caught him on my blue sponge. Body is about 1/2 inch long. Is it reef safe? I've include some macro pics I was able to take after I fished em out. Thanks in advance.

Pics not showing, anyone else?

Probably, if you dont have the lighting , somethings will probably die off, create a mini ammonia spike , and more things dieing off. Maybe if you keep on doing water changes it might help!

Most likely your wrasse has died to starvation and is in his favorite sleeping hold. Mine is about 3 months old and eats brine, formula one and nori but time will tell how long he will last.

Not required although would be nice on the eyes as they add more blue to the 10Ks!

I have the Hamilton 175W 10K and 55W 7100K combo and the shimmering effect is still there. My lights are about 10 inches off the surface! Go for it. What's your depth?

Does that mean LR is considered live animals also? Just curious as I see many selling them especially with whole tank setups!

Westwood, what you might be missing is the fact that when you cure the infected fish in a QT if will reaquire it back in the tank you got it from. Ich is always in the background in a reef tank ready to "pounce" on a fish that's stressed. Kinda like the cold. Preventive measures is the key to...

You do not want to hypo the whole tank, the inverts won't like it. You must take the infected fish out and hypo in a QT!
