I personally would not breed stuff in a sump, it all adds to the bio-load of the tank. Snails poop lots lol hmmmmm, i didn't consider that and i am currently wanting my No3 as near to 0 as possible so i might not bother. found a lifesaver though, after plenty of hunting around in shops i found Sain...

So no one really knows about marine shrimp how about marine snails. Which are safe for snoopey to eat and be a clean up crew in the meantime? old post but i just found out some mini turbos work well and will breed in captivity 0.25" max size i'm looking for something to breed in my marine sump...

hi while you guys are on this topic, i was also curious about shelled foods you can breed; Is there any i could breed in my marine tank sump? like snails etc as i am unsure about the breeding of any species in captivity (if no1 has an answer before i find out i'll let you all know) other than snail...

1- 1.5 lb per gallon is best for live rock. A sump would be useful. Live rock doesn't last long out of water before you get a little die off hi there looks like you did some research which is good :) it will pay off in the long run for you. i have a marine tank and if possible you would not regret ...

i don't know if i can do it too him! :'( haha just kidding apreciate your replies thankyou, does anyone have any knowledge on any marine snails that are good to feed and could breed in captivity? he really needs some shelled foods soon as he hasn't had any for a week now.

i would like to point out that full salt water has a specific gravity Sg of 1.025 and if you decided to keep corals i would suggest this salinity level however anywhere about 1.020 is fine as pufferpunk suggested. also above RTR reffers to a refugium of which you would cultivate a macroalgae in a se...

even when i fed him today he did the same thing, however he is fine again now. i just find it odd how he goes patchy in colour when he goes to rest to let the food settle. anyone have any experience with this and know what it means?
thanks.

He probably just gorged out on the prawn, food sits in lumps as they have no ribs so often looks odd after a large meal. Keep an eye and keep us posted. I like a rest after a good meal. Now the bad news, you are overstocked unless they are tiny and clowns and puffers don't really mix as they both c...

to update there is a slight bulge on the left side of his stomach as if you were looking at him.

hi, hopefully stingray isn't an option and was just an example as these require much larger tanks than you can offer them, more importantly a large footprint e.g 6'Lx3'Dx2'H. since you have 180l alot of the oddballs are out of reach if you want them to live happy lives, how about a fuzzy dwarf lionf...

could you use garlic from the supermarket? and just crush into some tank water then soak a mussel, i only ask as i don't want to do anything i would regret

Ok, and I didn't use anything from my old tank except the tank decor. (Not exactly sure what a media is..) I purchased a new filter for my 20 gal because my old filter would not aerate it as well. *I bought a whole new filter kit, new cartridges, pump, etc. there's your answer to your problem, welc...

hi all, after feeding my stars & stripes puffer a jumbo king prawn (raw) he has just gone and rested on a rock with his caudal fin folded round, and he is looking a little patchy, can anyone give any insight into whats going on, also i noticed a little bulge in his belly as expected however it l...
