Re: information about clown fish

Sharing my experience, I've got a 29g saltwater tank that's been up and running for about a year, and I'm currently stocking a new 10g nano. I've got a Royal Gramma and a Yellow watchman goby lined up for the 10g, and I'm thinking of adding a firefish goby as well. As for clownfish, I personally ...

Re: What causes coral color darkening?

Just a quick update - it's been 3 months since the last pic, and I'm blown away by how much color has returned. The brain coral's really starting to regain its vibrancy, and I couldn't be happier with the progress.

Re: What causes coral color darkening?

Just a quick update - switching from Marineland reef-capable LEDs to Aquaticlife T5HO with ATI bulbs has started to bring some color back to my brain coral. I also rearranged some rocks to give it more open space and light, no more branch hanging over it. The pics are from 12-31-14, 1-11-15, and 1 ...

Re: What causes coral color darkening?

Thanks for the input, guys. I really appreciate it. Both corals still have some color when the actinics are on, especially the echinata. I was under the impression that those types of corals preferred lower light conditions, but I guess I was wrong.

I've ordered a new lighting setup - Aquaticlife ...

What causes coral color darkening?

I've got a bit of a coral conundrum on my hands. I had this gorgeous lobed brain coral, red and orange with a vibrant green center, and now it's turned a dark, foreboding red all over - just a few speckles of green left. My Acan Enchinata's also changed, its orange and green edges have given way to ...

Re: Small marine fish, such as jawfish, gobies, and blennies

I stopped by the lfs last night and found a gorgeous lawnmower blenny - he's got a nice round belly and looks super healthy, so I just had to bring him home. He's absolutely amazing, and I'm so glad I got him. I've been feeding him nori sheets, and he loves them, but only after they break apart and ...

Re: Small marine fish, such as jawfish, gobies, and blennies

Thanks for the advice. I'm really stoked because tonight I saw all these tiny white creatures crawling on the glass - I'm guessing they're from the jawfish stirring up the sand. There were itsy-bitsy starfish-looking things, and even some slightly bigger ones. I know I sound crazy, but I'm super ...

Re: Small marine fish, such as jawfish, gobies, and blennies

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. The guy at the LFS said the lawnmower blennies he has will eat nori sheets too, which is great since I already have those on hand. I'm thinking of picking one up this weekend, we'll see.

As for the scooter blenny, I don't think that's going to work ...

Small marine fish, such as jawfish, gobies, and blennies

I've got a 30g tank with a clown, a watchman goby, and a pearly jawfish - which I thought was a pearly blenny when I bought it, until I got home and it started spitting sand everywhere. LFS is almost an hour away, so I don't really want to return it, plus it's kind of cute when I do see it. I'm ...
