    Hair algae, what inverts should I get??

    @Invictus was selling a sea hair on bst (if he still has it). That would solve your issue. Just would have to be sure to rehome it once job is done. Most inverts won't eat it when it gets really long. I think the sea hare would from things I head about them. *** sorry looks like he sold it...

    Tiny Maroon clown fish

    I don't personally agree with that practice. If you have a larger tank it can go in and your growing it out, or you are getting a larger tank I would understand. Yet to get a fish purposely that you know you don't have a sufficient tank to hold it in isn't cool to me. Especially for tangs and...

    Tiny Maroon clown fish

    20gal is fine for a pair of perc. A blue tang anything less than 150 gallons tank is cruel to the fish better a 6ft tank as they get huge and like to swim. Just because it can fit in a smaller tank doesn't mean you should do it.

    Some here actual do. I don't officially do it as mentioned above but my main sps tank, and nem tank, I'm very rarely willing to add things to either of them (only would take the risk from certain members, vendors/ lfs). Without going into frag tank first. For me it's an observation period of...

    Same as a follow period keep inverts and coral in a separate tank with zero new additions for 72 days. Add new coral or new snails it restarts the clock. Not many go to this extreme. But if you have tons of coral. Loaded up with fish it wouldn't be extreme in the least. Kinda up to how far...

    Baylands Pond 75g Tank

    Looking great, be prepared to find a home for the sailfin when it gets bigger. These fish get over a foot at 16inches. Huge improvement over the old scape. Also well done on the tank reseal, I've personally been to scared to attempt it on a tank. Glad to see it worked out for you.

    There is a Walmart neighborhood market in santa clara not far away. I would arrive very early or plan to sit in ur Uber for longer than it would take to walk. Parking anywhere closer u risk a ticket or being towed. Walmart is far enough away yet still close they don't look for people Parking...

    Hyposalinity

    You would have had to treat all fish not just a few, and have the display fallow for 72 days. After treating a fish they are weak and easily reinfected. The goal isn't just to get fish where you won't see ich, but totally eradicate it all. Some people just mange the ich meaning it's always in...

    Tiny Maroon clown fish

    1 baby maroon clown fish, very tiny guy probably isn't even 1/2 a inch. Could easily be eaten by larger fish. 30 gallon is smallest tank you want for a maroon though bigger is advisable.

    Frozen food choice and have you had any issues?

    Do u rinse with rodi or tank water? A small metal strainer? Not a issue with saltwater or would something like this be more ideal didn't see any smaller ones in a quick search. I mainly feed once to keep po4 down so I will consider it.

    UV

    I think it helps, doubt uv can totally wipe out or prevent ich or velvet. So don't consider it as something that will just solve your problems if thats your thinking. Helps but not a complete solution as in hook one up and you don't have to worry again.
