    3X400 watt MH and 4X160 watt vho retro

    Reefer_Fez, That sounds like an excellent setup. From the description of the setup, these are double ended bulbs, correct? Out of curiousity, what size is your tank? I have 3x 400wt Halides over my 150 gallon which is plenty of lighting in every inch of the aquarium. Graham

    150 gallon Tank Update

    Thank you all for the great comments! what is "starboard"? Starboard is just another name for Cutting Board (Such as the type you use in your kitchen). Instead of having a bare bottom tank with nothing lining the bottom of the tank, I decided to put Starboard down for the benifits of running a...

    150 gallon Tank Update

    Hey All, It's been quite awhile since I have posted here. Just thought I would give you a picture which was taken yesterday night. I've recently taken everything out and added starboard which I'm really liking so far. Take Care, Graham

    Acropora under VHO's: A Test!

    Your coral is actually an A. sarmentosa. I can personally say (with experience) that Acropora will not do very well under flourecent lighting. "Back in the day" I had kept at least 6 Acropora frags under 8x 65wt PC's and one 110wt VHO. This was all under an 80 gallon tank. Within two weeks all...

    Angel twitching

    Here's an update: The fish is already starting to eat prepared foods -- mainly mysids. I have seen no signs of ich, however, the twitching does occure at odd intervels. It's also starting to fatten up and get larger. I'm very happy with how well the fish is done. Here's an updated shot of the...

    Angel twitching

    Hey Beth, Thanks for your reply! I know I should have left the fish in the QT longer than a few days. I just felt that it would be best for the fish to be with as much of a food source as soon as possible. Do you know if he had ich, or did you notice any ich in the tanks at the LFS. I've...

    Angel twitching

    I have decided to try and rescue the life of a red sea juvinile regal angelfish. Out of a total of 6 fish, this was the only one not sold. It was swimming awkwardly (on its side) and not eating anything. I felt that it would be worth it to save the life of this fish, and for only $9.99...

    what kind of live stock have you lost do to power heads?

    I have lost several hermit crabs to and a small Randalls goby to an uncovered powerhead. I have also lost an Emporer Angelfish as well as a red sea Regal angelfish to the strainer on the Amp Master3000. It's definitely a hard lesson to learn. Graham

    going difficult

    If you have been seeing the Morish Idol eating and acting normally, then I would go for it. How big is your tank and how much rockwork do you have? Graham

    Gotta love...

    Originally posted by tony detroit LOVE the orange polyp, purple base. Is that a Danae? It's definitely not an A. danae. It's the same issue with everyone reffering to plating montipora's as being a 'Capricornis,' while the truth is that there are roughly 2 dozen species of Montipora which...

    perdy shure it's a no go but ask n e way..

    It's possible, but either you will be limited to what you can keep or you will be taking a large risk. The Emporer Angel should be fine with most SPS, as well as shrimp and some other invertibrates. However, it may enjoy eating zoanthids and LPS. The Harlequin tusk will eat just about any...

    NM, It's definitely an A. millepora. Let me know if you ever decide to frag it :) Graham
