Hello, I have a group of 5. I am thinking I have 3 males and 2 females, can someone else confirm? I would like to spawn them. Thank you!

The Green Spot Puffer is in full saltwater and about 2.5-3" long. The 4 Figure 8 Puffers are in low end brackish. Location is Midland, Michigan I'd do local meets in the area. Free Rehome, I am trying to downsize my hobby.

If you get pygmaeus corys they will most likely colony breed and they do not eat their own fry. Super fun and cool to watch generations raise up. On the other hand, my sterbai are super outgoing and look amazing. Both really good choices.

Every 5 hours? Thats a bit excessive. It typically takes 2-3 weeks to get a complete cycle going. I would do once a day and give an ammonia source like fish food in the tank to decompose.

Have you done some research on the nitrogen cycle? It is the process that naturally happens when bacteria convert ammonia to nitrates. Adding a bottle of something store-bought isn't foolproof. The best way is to let it mature naturally. To test if it is cycled you should test your ammonia...

Honestly when it comes to small reefs keeping less fish is honestly the way. Less waste and maintenance. There are tons of fish you can put into nano setups, but if you like the inverts I'd go for a pistol shrimp/goby pair, then maybe a pair of clowns. The shrimp/goby to satisfy the invert...

Just going to guess that it's cyanobacteria. Looks like the growth pattern of it and it can come in a few colors. It's not really harmful, just ugly and if it gets out of hand, which can happen fast, makes the tank smell like a swamp. It's really hard to beat without chemical intervention. You...

You can use a canister filter and have the intake and output at/below the waterline. Also, if you don't have the tank already, I would recommend a 150g. I am assuming the 100g you are talking about is 72*18*18, which would be hard to do a paludarium with enough water depth and also scape. If...

You can do like a pothos or some vine plant and use crickets for food and put them on it. I have also seen people using Serra onip tabs too.

You could direct wire them with some solder and shrink tubing. Can't guarantee that it would work, but if it fails you've got an excuse to get a new tank lol.

If you ever want it gone you need to get rid of it now. I have it in one tank and I have been trying to eradicate it for months. It just keeps coming back.

A lot of people have good luck with euphyllias such as hammers, torches, and frog/octospawn. In general LPS are easier than SPS, but there are so many types its impossible for me to list them off. Also, I think ricordea/mushrooms are really cool because they have nice color, easy to grow, and...

The solution to pollution is dilution! Do a waterchange basically. Its meds down the drain, but its better than dead fish. I'd do a 50% w/c and see what happens and just play it by ear

The xenia, zoas, and green star polyps should be no problem. Those are all soft corals and you should be able to grow them relatively easily given a tank that is cycled and fish ready. Growth is usually slow with corals in general though. For the montipora and birdsnest, they might be a bit...

How good is your lighting?
