hey,
i find books very outdated too, but it still a good read if your a reader like me, i also join alot of places like canreef i think i am on five and i acully most lurk on most of them.


Chicki, i e-mailed you :)


ya but thats weird i heard they do better with a host, hmmm i guess more reading is on my hand again haha

It's great that you're doing so much research - much better than the average uninformed customer that sets up a tank and in 3 weeks has a BTA or LTA in there under fluorescent lights.

Seeing as your tank is only a 20, it will be subject to more fluctuations in water quality, temp, etc... harder to find its groove, stability-wise. I have a 20 with a baby BTA now in there now, and it is more challenging than my other tank, and more work...

My ocellaris clowns did great for almost a year without any anemone - they liked soft corals, and especially LPS (Hammer, Forgspawn, etc). Anemone not necessary, but I'm glad to have got one after almost a year and a half.

i know about the problems with nanos, but really i am moving in a year and i didnt need the hassle of moving like a 77gal fishtank it would of not been fun haha, i think i am just goint to get some small things like mushrooms or something like that, i knoticed alot of pylops in the tank growing, i tryed to take a picture of them once, but for some reson the pictures always came up blurry so i have no idea,
lots of stuff is growing big time, i just need to get some snails i am having my big algea fun haha and the hermits are not doing their job

Well, one of my clowns died! got some fugas on him, but see i get a new one from work anyways becuase my boss said so becuase all the ones at work died of some fugas, so i think it was the same thing they got, but one is still alive so its all good, and i ordered a firefish goby so hehe can't wait, i can't find any of my hermit crabs i think they died, or they are just hiding who knows :S

Perhaps Amyloodiniumiasis. Read through http://www.wetwebmedia.com/amylloodiniumart.htm and links. Bev recently did battle with it, unfortunately without a great deal of success. Careful with the firefish if you have an open top, some talk in the past of them being jumpers.

Teevee, thanks for the read, i will read asap....

i am getting a top for him, but other then it being open its not to open, i think theirs like alittle space, but nothing for him to fit in...
alright another battle hehe
