    FS: MH w/ PC Combo

    really could use some advise.

    When it comes to the diameter of any bulb, they are generally always marked in a "T-?" fashion, and the number that is in place of the question mark is the number of 1/8th's of an inch that it is. So the T5 bulb is 5/8", whereas VHO and regular flourescents range from T10 to T12, with VHOs...

    ? about tank raised true Perculas

    True Percs are really pretty selective when it comes to selecting hosts, and the biggest problem with Tank-Bred/Raised True Percs is the they are even more selective. Your only real options as per true hosts are all going to be high on the light-demand list, so if you don't have an MH setup I...

    Disappearing Fish Act

    Okay, two days ago I picked up a pair of Firefish to add to my 75G tank. The tank has approx. 100 lbs LR and a 5-6" DSB of LS. It has been up and running for about 4-5 months this time around, and I have it stocked right now with a pair of True Percs and a Kole Tang, as well as a Leather...

    Krazy Kole

    Okay, I got a new Yellow-Eye Kole Tang for my tank about a week ago. He was acclimated well and has taken to his new 75G home quite well. However, he has begun to get ferocious while in the tank by himself. He swishes his caudal fin quicker than usual and seems to flex his the peduncles on...

    Moving Large Aquarium - Suggestions??

    With a few exceptions, most Angels shouldn't be kept in a tank that is sub-100G, especially the Imperator Angel, and especially with the bio-load that this tank already presents. I would advise that you get rid of the Blue Girdle Angel as well as the Imperator Angel and you should be able to...

    any sharks good for 70 gal

    Additionally, if you give out advice that a person can get a fish while they are small enough to survive in a tank that is smaller than ideal, we end up with a lot of people buying Imperator Angels and the like and keeping them in a 29G or a 55G and then either having to dole out hundreds of...

    How Many True Percs?

    I just set up a new 75G RR from Perfecto. Anyhoo, I have a 5" DSB and aprox. 100 lbs of LR in the tank. I was wondering if I could put 5 True Percs into my tank along with a Kole Tang and a pair of Firefish in the future? Not too sure yet what I'm going to use to host them, but I was...

    Best Camera?

    I've been wanting to get a camera for my tank for quite some time now, and I'm looking into finally getting one now that I set up a new 75 gallon and I want to go pure reef with it. So my question is this, what is the best all-around camera that I can use for entire tank pics and macro pics...
