thank you very much. how do you feel about ricordea under these lights? also, this setup has a built-in moon light led. i have it taped over because i had a suspicion it was so bright that it kept my anemone slightly open at night. any pros or cons with corals?

I've been using the SmartPaq 40w PC for about four years in which time I've kept a healthy bubble tip anemone for three of those years. Just recently gave it away. I keep the lights on 8.25 hours per day. I want to add some zoos and shrooms and I'm wondering if my existing bulbs are sufficient...

thanks for all the info. my tank is too small for one at the moment but it will be useful when i'm able to upgrade.

Everything I've read says that cleanup crews don't last long with a porcupine puffer. So do you just add a new cleanup crew every once in a while or is there some other kind of tankmate that can keep the aquarium clean and not get eaten? Forgive me if this is a stupid question. Thanks in advance!

Originally Posted by Alexknight you said you have had it for 3+ years, it could be getting ready to split, have you checked the mouth? is it gaping? if it moves to a spot, and you then move it, you could stress it out even more. I have heard by changing the flow in the tank or the lighting can...

I've kept a healthy BTA in my 25g vertically-oriented tank for 3+ years now. Everything has remained the same -- two gsm clowns to host, an abundance of live rock, & water changes as necessary to maintain water params. Lighting is a 40 watt 50/50 10,000k/460nm Actinic & that has been...

belhaven scottish ale or spaten optimator. find a good draught house and give these a try.

it's not too late to go to a great college. i hated the busy work of high school so i had terrible grades. but a great sat score and a killer application essay got me into baylor right out of high school, where i just graduated from. you can do the junior college thing to increase your...

Originally Posted by puffer32 How about adding a GSM when you already have a GSM? Is that riskier since they are so aggresive? i mean, they will probably fight more at first but they should adapt to each other after a while as well. my gsm's did.

just add a new ocellaris that's much smaller. after a little aggression, they should get along well. read some of the threads in the clownfish forum to see what to expect while they're getting used to each other.

that's too bad but you probably shouldn't add any more tangs anyway ... the sailfin is probably already in a small enough space on its own.

does anyone know if it's just a slow process or if it's been delayed or cancelled?
