    Skittish Midas Blenny

    I have a new Midas Blenny that I just added to my display after a month in QT. He is super skittish and hides every time I walk by the tank. I am worried about him not getting enough food. In the QT it wasn't an issue for feeding because he had no competition. In my display though by the time...

    Adding seahorse, yay or nay?

    I have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank with two mated Occelaris clownfish and one extremely shy firefish goby, and it's been my dream to have a seahorse in there ever since. I'm getting some caulerpa prolifera Macro algae to put in there next week. I think I will have to feed a lot in order to give the...

    Two New Firefish in a 10 g Nano tank

    I recently purchased two Firefish from my local shop. I am unsure if they are a mated pair - from what I have noticed thus far (they have been in the tank for about a day or so) they are very shy, which I expected, and have been slightly aggressive toward one another. However, the back of my...

    How much to feed Clowns?

    I have two small, inch-long Ocellaris Clownfish. The food I have is New Life Spectrum Thera A+ Small Fish Formula A. Very miniscule pellets. So how many should I feed them? I've been feeding a small pinch, which is around 8-10 pellets once a day. Does that sound right?

    Best light level / feeding frequency for very-stressed corals?

    I have a candy cane that was supposedly DOA when it arrived a couple of weeks ago. The thing is, it's not dead, and seems to be mounting a comeback, with soft tissue slowly regrowing from the calcified cups. I also have a cauliflower colt, that also seemed DOA, but it too seems to be slowly...

    Who here washes or rinses their food before feeding to eliminate excess nutrients? Has anyone seen any perceived positives or negatives? Curious. Thanks.

    Is Reef Roids = Amino Acids?

    Is it sufficient to feed ULNS (w/ SPS, LPS, Morphs) with Reef Roids only? #reefsquad #LPSexperts #SPSexperts And being known to be lazy, is it acceptable to just broadcast the food with the wavemakers, return and skimmer on? #lazy
