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 ...

Re: Open brain coral problems

I've seen plenty of mixed reefs in aquariums, but in nature, it's not exactly common. You're focusing on the SPS, which is great, but maybe that's affecting your LPS - they need nutrient-rich water, which might be getting depleted.

Re: My prized lps pieces

I'm curious, what LPS corals do you guys think are hard to come by or rare?

For me, it's all about the large colonies - they're what I consider truly prized. I mean, having a pricey frag like a chalice that's only the size of a quarter break isn't the end of the world. You just shrug it off and ...

Re: Is this a shy jawfish?

I'm crossing my fingers for you, Aurumix. When I had my jawfish, I could actually see under the tank since it's on a metal stand, and I'd catch glimpses of him in his little hidey hole. You might want to try that, see if you can spot him that way.

Also, when you're feeding the fish, just stand ...

Re: Acan color morphs with led lighting


I've been trying to wrap my head around this issue, and from what I've gathered, it seems like some LED units might be lacking a proper "full spectrum", specifically in the UV range or higher nm wavelengths that aren't typically covered by standard "cool white" LEDs.

Can you share the specifics ...

Re: Acan color morphs with led lighting

I started a thread about my corals losing their vibrancy, and I'm thrilled to report that I've finally found the solution. I ditched my Marineland reef-capable LEDs - honestly, I don't think they're suitable for exotic-colored corals - and switched to AquaticLife T5HO with ATI bulbs.

The difference ...
