I have had both fish for about two weeks .They both eat frozen food and pick at the rocks but they are not touching the aiptasia. Its an aiptasia eating filefish. Thought that was a sure thing. Anybody have or had this issue ?
I have a tank 16" long 10" high 8" wide. I would like to start a reef. No sps but mushrooms, lps, zoas.
Would a 12" 50/50 stunner strip work or Trulumen ? Any suggestions ?
thanks
I got some for the first time a few weeks ago. They are always in a pack in the upper corner of the tank. Even when I seperate them they find each other. Every now and then one is crawiling up a powerhead cord out of the water.

I just got this , I think it's a finger leather. It looked good last night, polyps were out. Today there are 2 fingers ( on the right ) that are white now. Is it from too much light ? I have 3 rows of reebrite xho led's. I have a flame angel and copper band butterfly, I havent seen them picking...
thanks for help.
If I hung led canopies from ceiling she would hang me.
Its really not as bright but its costing over $ 100 a month in electricity for the lights I have now. Two kids in college, trying to save wherever. Hoping with 3 rows it will be almost as bright.
I need opinion please. I want to get rid of my MH lights and CF fixture and replace with LED. I cannot get canopy led because my wife doesn't like the look. The trulumens look sleeker.
