In the near future I will be restocking my 55g tank and I am wondering if I should add the really super shy fish first and go from there. Last time I had a Yasha Goby (sp?) and it was super shy. I would like to get another one but I would want to be able to see it. Mine seemed to disappear for...
I am not sure how to hold down a peice of toadstool leather that I got today so I am using a rubber bacnd to hold it to the rock

Will this work or should I just glue it down?
I am thinking about installing a controler on my 55g tank and I am kind of lost on what soem of these things can do. For right now my tank is full of water and live rock but that is about it. I am in the process of building my own stand and think that this would be the perfect time to add alot...
Well since my tank crashed I am going to do everything right. I am going to use ths set back as a spring board to get this done right. By this weekend I should have everything I need to build a stand for my tank. Here is what I am thinking, my display tank will be a 55g tank and is full of water...
Okay I am lost here. My lights shut off at around 11:00pm and at 1:30am all my fish are dead, both my cleaner shrimp are dead. A peppermint shrimp, pistol shrimp, is alive barley as are my hermit crabs and snails. My brittle stars are alive. I just tested everything and it all came back as zero...

Recently I picked up a Coral Beauty that was being picked on and had some sort of a sore or scab on one side of his body. His pectoral fin on that side also looks pretty well nipped at. Shortly after I brought him home I placed two cleaner shrimp in my tank. the Coral beauty was trying to get...
What is the difference? Will I see better growth with a set of actinic lights over the blue or true blue lights? Or is this just a personal preference?
I fully admit I have been patient and behaved but I so want to get my 55g stocked. I am going nuts here. I am hoping to get a sump installed this weekend maybe next week end at the latest. Now the semester is starting up and I am going to ahve to fit time in for building everything I want. I...
I wish I could get a picture of these things but recently I have been seeing tiny things walking around on a couple pieces of my live rock. There are fairly fast moving. I am not sure if these are good things or something I should nuke now?
Okay this is an off the wall question but I will be setting up timers on a couple different tanks and I was curious if the room lights would effect the light cycle of the tank? I am wondering if I should start the lights later in the day to make sure even one is in bed when the tank lights go...
Is there an ideal precentage of water for a refugium? Also should the water be shallow (6") or can it be deep (10-12")? Rougly how much flow should I be looking for in a refugium? I do not think it should be fast but want to be sure. Also how deep should the sand bed be? How much Live rock...
I am curious if I should try to get a couple lbs of garf grunge or see if I can get a cup or two of sand out of someone that has an established tank? Would it even be nessary at this time?

Here is a picture of my sand bed as of two days ago.
