Not sure about the flow and lighting. I dont remember my total turnover but I remember it being like 20-25%... I think thats right. It's probably lighting... I've only ever seen coraline like that on tanks with MH. I've got T5's which seem to be great for my corals but not so much on the...

Autofreak is right, right, and right again. We both disagree on cycling with the damsel when you already have it, but whats new? It is very true that you do not need that damsel to cycle the tank, and can be just as effective with a raw shrimp. Keep in mind you'll probably have to remove a...

I think it might work. It looks like you have enough hiding places for it. I'd probably go with a bottom dweller and a midwater fish personally to spice it up. You are limited, so like fish addict said, you could go with a goby of some sort and maybe your wrasse/gramma.

Its kinda sad that yall broke him, but I agree... He would be better off parting it out.

Yeah, both those links are the same jerseys. Glad to help.

Hey Lisa, the new tank looks good. I just found this post and looked at the first and last pages. I noticed you have a lot of coraline on your glass. How long did it take to get that way? What chemicals do you add to your tank?

Best bet would be online or Columbia. Why didnt you just google it? http://store.gamecockcentral.com/res...cat=ALL&afid=2

You would probably be ok with that list as long as you go with a smaller species of clown. I would get a pair of true percs and probably leave out the gramma/firefish and go with the clown gobys or maybe some sort of shrimp goby. Not that the gramma/firefish wouldnt be ok, your just flirting...

The reason for doing that is to monitor the tank to make sure it doesnt start a cycle after the move. Thats why you make the temporary housing. You are most likely not going to be able to save all the water from the tank - especially if its a big tank.

Mace did it right. If you dont have all the help mace did, then use rubermaid containers with powerheads and heaters in them... Its a pain but doable.

Spaghetti, want some? Just wanted to pop in and say hello - and thanks again with all of your ID help.
