Not all pistol shrimps are bad. I have one that lives with my watchman..sri lankan tiger pistol..fierce as it looks..but darn docile..does'nt even harm anything..not even boxing crabs or 1cm thor amboinensis.

harleq*in have a few pieces

Install a snare trap near your wiring...bait the trap with it's favourite food... It will sure avoid your tank after the trauma.

It's a commensal crab..leave it alone..it's home is on the cauliflower..will probably help to keep it clean of detritus too.

Clowns are actually one of the more sensitive fishes to acclimatize..

Ah...hope they recover...next time you know to lock your dog away from your tank...

it's probably a commensal crab.....

gobies...ALL GOBIES!

I have one with me that has been more than a year old already....

Check out ML ppl...lots of brazilian grammas..orchid dottybacks...neon gobies...and Yellow-headed jawfish! So happy i finally got my own yellow-headed jawfish...after years of waiting.

Get the smallest chromis you can find..no point getting big ones...it's always a pleasure to see babies grow.

Whatever the price of the fish, it is best not to let temptation get the best of you unless you really have the proper setup and done the proper reading up... Good luck to you in your seahorses anyway.

ooo..thanks..luckily i have sodium bicarbonate in my fridge..used to use it for my freshwater planted.

I already have sps..mix reef...only about 4 frags of sps..don't think i'll be getting anymore..no space in my tank already.

Thanks man! Anyway..think I will need to understand the chemistry on how adding sodium bicarbonate to my water will actually lower the levels of calcium. Will bicarbonate preferentially precipitate out with calcium instead of sodium? My chemistry rusty already....

They are famous for hiding in your liverock and dying in it....be prepared.

Saw one at harl*q*in bro...but then the color like different one..think front half is magenta..back half is yellow.

r*b*rn -lots of octopus branch corals -orange fan sponges -banded pipefish -Another pipefish (forgot name..but long n snake-like) -lots of fromia (or formia?)(cant remember) sea stars... -some healthy looking purple queen anthias (seen swimming actively and pecking at stuff in the water) -nudibranchs (forever available ) -tonnes of banggai cardinals -tonnes of blood shrimp -boxing shrimp (both the normal one and the yellow thorax species) -brain corals -sun corals -sea fans -gonioporas -turtle weed Check out their display tank on the first floor at the entrance...IMPRESSIVE! Although upon looking at the lights I was..erm..stunned...2 T5s for such a deep tank.

Now..this has been puzzling.....bought my salifert Mg test kit and salifert Mg powder today.... Measured my Mg levels...it is at 1410ppm. I bought the Mg powder for nothing..... Measured Ca levels...around 500ppm.... Now..here comes the puzzling part.... The day before I measured my kH it was at 8.7. Yesterday I measured my kH and it was at 7.7. Today I measured it again and it has dropped to 6.7. Why is my kH dropping by 1 each day?! The lowest I have seen my kH is at 6...that was when I first bought my kH test kit after my tank was 6 months old? What should I do?! Could adding freshwater as top-up decrease my kH in any way? Help.....I have run out of brain power.....

People who normally dun have luck of gobies 1) People who own aggressive fishes 2) People who fill their tank to the rim..or only 1-5cm from the top of the tank.

Your fish will be in a state of euphoria and your corals will be in a state of shrunkedness.

Ah? dKH only at 7++? Wow..me and my itchy fingers..think I leave mine at 7.7 already.....

Danano..considering the neon goby that will be arriving at ML? hehe.. It should be small enough..think it will look great in your tank.

6mm for a 3X1.5X1.5 sounds quite safe to me...just dun fill the water too full..

I on my fan 24/7. Top up with kalk mostly...only switch to pure freshwater when calcium exceeeds recommended values.......
