    Stand weight limit ?

    i'm not going to answer that question (i can't) i would like to point out that live rock doesn't weigh a whole lot more than the water. ever moved any rock under water? weighs much less.

    Feding phytoplankton ?

    from my understanding phyto increases phosphate in the system basically just working against your skimmer. i stopped adding it.

    advice on carpet anemone

    the problem with keeping them in a softie tank is that most softie tanks don't have the required lighting. these guys require high levels of lighting because they go on the sand. if you can keep clams in your tank then you have the required lighting. how deep is your tank and what kind of lights?

    "say hello to my little friend"

    cute little guy! the SFE is one of the hardiest fish there is. precaution must be taken or these guys will jump out of your tank. even if well fed and with plenty of rocks. mine did it the first time after i had him for around 2 years. i was watching the tank though :happy: enjoy your...

    Saving my live rock

    no problem...also, you may want to get a lawnmower blenny, these guys eat hair.. this isnt the technical way to solve the problem, as it just masks it but it works well :D

    Saving my live rock

    if you dont have coral, don't run the lights for several days. if you have coral, run the lights run the skimmer as much as possible since you are trying to save the live rock continue to pull it off the rocks.

    Refugium Uses

    fuges are also a great place to stick hitchhikers that are unsuitable for your display tank (mantis shrimp, gorilla crabs, etc)

    Taping pictures of clowns with anemones

    in an old thread bang guy said he used the pic technique to get his clowns to host...he seems to know more than the average joe about clowns.. i'd say give it a shot

    affects of using Glass tops

    i run a reef with the glass top on. i do this because i keep an eel and i don't want him to jump out as easily. (he's jumped even with the top on). however, i don't run MH, i run VHO, so i don't have that much to worry about as far as heat. plus i have an open back canopy for air to get in...

    live rock

    the numbers will balance if left alone. in my opinion it will actually take longer if you do water changes. after your ammonia and nitrite levels come back to 0 then do a water change. as mentioned it could take a week or more depending on how much die off was on the rock. anywayz, good luck!
