in a month or so if all is good, im gonna get a couple of clownfish
and a lawnmower or scooter blenny

i was thinking about getting a peppermint shrimp or a cleaner shrimp. anything special i need for those?

Wait about 10-12 months before you get a scooter blenny. They need an established tank with lots of live food.

My peppermint shrimp eat anything I put in the tank, the cleaners are the same way. Both are hardy and very greedy!

this tank has been established for 3 years before i moved it. there is a ton of hair algae on the sand and on the liverock

quick question. i have a 5 pound bucket of NLS 1mm cichlid pellets..... would that be ok to feed to my saltwater fish?

check out what i just found..... looked at my tank and saw a rock moving across the sand.... upon a closer look.... a hermit crab somehow survived the move

Looking good those blue damsels are mean little buggers and will terorize most new tank members they are completely fearless once established. Not sure how the cichlid food would work out I wouldn't do it unless I had for sure confirmation it was ok for your fish:) cheers

I've fed it for years, no problems with it. Krill is a large ingredient in it.
