You might wanna check regs before you speak.

Great info Ckeene9. I am no where close to that area but it is cool seeing the rules on harvesting.

ckeene9 · 08-22-2007, 06:01 PM

Got the H2O just waiting for the salt delivery tomorrow. My refractometer and test kit came today too!

Now to get rid of the cichlids.

yellow tales are one of the least aggressive damsels but they still can get aggressive. I had a friend that had one and it would never leave his coral beauty alone. However it did leave his royal gramma alone which was introduced to the tank before the damsel. The coral beauty was introduced after the damsel.

ALL Damsel get meaner as they get larger! Sure, There may be on exception in the world but there is no way on this earth I am going to tear my tank down to catch one stupid $3 fish that is harrassing my $100 fish! There is not ANY Damsel that is not M E A N! !

Green Chromis are sold as "Damsels" at times but are not true damsels. They are in the family but are not mean except to each other. They would be ok but no Damsels! My wife had a school of Chromis and the smallest one killed all the others. He is now an only child.

If you put in a $3 fish and it harasses your $50 fish then do you want to spend your day taking out all your rock to catch the little Bat Turd? I doubt it. Forget the Damsels altogether and look at nicer fish. The Royal Gramma is a fine fish....Territorial but does not attack others unprovoked.

Look at a Pair a False Percs if on a budget or True Percs for just a bit more but don't mix clowns in the same tank. Consider a Dwarf Angel, I love my "Flame Angel" but only one per tank. A Lawnmower (Algae) Blenney has loads of personality and is cool to watch. Also look at a Yellow Watchman Goby and get a Tiger Pistol Shrimp to pair with him. What a sight to see.

I also love my engineer gobies but if you get one of these you will want to be sure your rocks are 150% secure. They are not called engineers for nothing. lol

Want any more ideas from what is in my tanks? Just ask. Just please, NO DAMSELS!!

ckeene9 · 09-08-2007, 08:05 PM

Okay Reefneck, How long do you think pollutants stay in sand dollars? I still have this guy thriving after 3weeks to the day. And it probably won't be until another few weeks before I can even put NaCL H2O into my main tank + cycling time. So would it be safe to put him in there by then?
