Dont apologise! I love hearing this kind of information!!! I was at my LFS today and logged in on my phone to read what you two had said! I've picked up a "Tychus" Snail? pretty sure he said tychus.. or something like that.. lol! btw the owner of this particular fish shop breeds marine fish...

I really do appreciate all the information I've been receiving. I think that my comment about getting a "starfish" was taken the wrong way... I know a few ppl with marine tanks and a few nano's - they all have a version of a starfish, it's not a brittle.. but not one of those gigantic ones that...

Updated picture would just show the corals are prettier.. Nothing has moved or changed really.. same amount of LR - this is what I m,eant when I said I had less than the recommended amount of LR, so I have that extra water space... I was thinking of getting one more piece and trying to cover up...

Okay this is the only picture I have of it.. this was about a month ago Uploaded with ImageShack.us The corals since then have brightened right up, I got them from a friend that was slowly killing them all.. I've nursed them back to health in my tank due to great water conditions!! (= Those...

Thanks for the info guys! Having kept freshy tanks for such a long time.. and often caring for other peoples tanks when they are out of town.. I find myself keeping my water so clean that any plants I have tend to die off unless i feed them a nutrient.. I do gravel cleans every Tuesday &...

Hey all, My tank has finished it's cycle and I've been thinking about finally stocking it... Now this is after all a NANO tank.. only 40L (10 gallons).. So I know that my stocking choices are limited... I am also going to be having some corals, currently have a plate in there. looks beautiful...

Thanks for the reply! I will definitely just stop trying (as it sounds) and just let it run... 1 more quick question (for now anyway): My LR is getting what i can only describe as "white fur" all over it.. I've heard different things.. what do i do with it? Scrape off what I can get too? take...

Hey all, Starting up my first ever SW tank, after keeping FW for a long time. Going for a nano 40L (10g) setup, probs just gonna have a pair of clowns or something with some nice corals.. havent really thought about it too much... just wanted to get the thing cycling - and thus began my...

I know next to nothing about Marine tanks :( But I am watching this thread to maybe one day spark my hand into pulling money out of my wallet for a marine tank.

I've never had a single problem keeping bristlenoses & clown loaches with my discus.. I even have a BGK in the tank as well! It may just be my fish, but they all seem placid and leave other fish alone... during feeding, sure there is competition, but every fish eats a healthy amount.. Yeah...

Discus prefer a taller tank as that is how they grow... so 2ft tall should be enough for the discus you want to get... for just the 4 discus... around 40-50 gallons should be fine.. and you can add in some tankmates. Such as: - Tetras (pretty much any kind) - Pleco (pref a bristlenose as they...

if the neon can fit into the bala's mouth - I'd say yes (if he felt hungry).. why wait for a feed when he can get a neon

Just a note on your Kuhli (a.k.a. "coolie") Loaches. make sure your filter intact has some sort of cover so that they can't swim up it and never see the light of day again... Home made just steal some stockings from a lady-friend and tie that around the intake.. not the prettiest thing but you...

Pretty much the same requirements as most other knife fish (not 100% on this as I have never kept a tiger, but this is what I have heard) http://www.#99###.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78977 Look at the bottom post on page 1 of that thread, shows a nice bit of info about them. All in all...

Kuhli Loaches - great fun and always active.. get 6 and you'll get tired of seeing them TOO much :D
