Adding to my TANK????!!!!!

if i dont have any algae problems ie. not much visable algae will it be a good idea to add something like that. Is there enough in there for it to eat on or will i need to feed it as much as any other fish.

 

i have actually noticed an abundance of what i beleive are copepods running across my substrate when the lights are turned on. what would eat those. are they good to have in there and will one fish quickly diminish the population?? i want something that will sift through the substrate and also eat off the rocks and perhaps the glass? is there such thing? It is hard to read through all the fish specs and remember which one is Apt to do what

 

I have no nuisance algae, so I feed my blenny, flame angel and hippo tang Rob's Food Herbivore, Spirulina Flakes and Reefcleaners.org's Herbivore Mix. Everyone's fat and happy in my tank

 

Whcih tank do you have your hippo in. 55 gal. to small. i would love to have one. i thought i was kinda "SOL" as far as tangs went because my tank was so small.

 

The hippo is in my 80g atm. The rock is in the middle of the tank so it has the front and back two swim. For a 55g, I see many keeping the yellow tank with success.

 

my scape is in the middle but stretches the who lenght with alot of over hangs and caves. kinda neat. im a diver so i have a good look at what it really looks like.

 

qUESTION ABOUT SHRIMP. CAN I PUT ANY KIND OF SHRIMP OR ALL KINDS OF SHRIMP TOGETHER. i WAS TRYING TO GET A CORAL BANDED OFF A FRIEND AND THEN MAYBE ADD A DIFFERENT KIND FOR SOME DIVERSITY. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON THAT?

 

I have a CBS and two peppermints in a 46. They stay out of each others way.

 

do feather dusters need any specific lighting???

 

No not really :| hopfuly you have somthing better then some T-8's on your tank like T-5's at least arctic and 10k
and dont ever buy feather dusters. if you want them use Phytoplankton to encourage the growth of them ive done it and i have a few small ones growing now. Feather dusters are Filter Feeders they use there "Feathers" to catch Phytos and such
