can i grow candy cane corals, ricordea, lps, disk corals, or anything really with a coralife 130 watt 4 foot fixture. its 50/50 power compact and actinic bulbs and i also have a four foot actinic single bulbe fixture.

i recently added two small maroon clowns and a long tentacle anemone to my 60 gallon. there is more rock on one side of the tank than the other an my maroons spend most of their time hiding and swimming around the rocks on the right side of the tank. the anemone decided to mount himself on the...

i like the style of rocks you have in there. the pieces that look like slates. they would be good to make ledges out of. what kind of rock is that?

the picture does make it look a little white but it is more of a tan color. sadly i added some buffer last night to raise the pH and he didnt like it the least bit. the second the stuff was added he immediately darted underground and took about an hour for him to fully come out. today he looks...

yes, i am from so cal. no i am not a celtics fan..only a redsox

Beautiful fish, may RIP. Looks liKe the doyers (dodgers haha) no longer have the best record in baseball this year..sadly the Yankees took that title :-( P.s. Go Red Sox!!

Awesome. So what color should it be? I just thought It was a white anemone? Will it be white with some color or will it turn a different color completely with a little TLC? Thanks for the help. And what do u think of the mouth being open? Is that a negative sign as well?

i bought this anemone a couple days ago and it didnt really catch my attention til today that his mouth is almost always open. is this because he is just constantly feeding or is this a sign of a problem?

okay that picture pretty much has me sold that it is in fact an LTA. afterall it WAS in the tank labeled LTA, guess they did have it labeled correctly. like i said though the kid there really didnt know his shiz. it looks exactly the same shape to me and the way it looks when open and the...

i have inserted a pic of the condylactis species i found online (although there are many many many different shapes and colors of this as i have found) for reference for you lazy people that dont want to google it:

ok so i went to my LFS today and bought an anemone. the anemone was in a tank that had a sign that said "long tentacle anemone" along with a picture (but this particular LFS is known for having outdated signs on their tanks and having livestock in multiple tanks..most often mislabeled). well...

i would use the canister on the 75. its gonna have the majority of all the bacteria you need inside the filter pads and all over the media in the filter. these will help speed up the process of breaking down the ammonia and nitrites and help colonize the beneficial bacteria much faster. you may...

looks good, i like the way you aquascaped. i have about 30-40 lbs in my 60 that i started 3 weeks ago and i am looking to get about another 35 lbs asap. it sucks not being able to set it up the way i KNOW it could be with the rest of my rock. looks like i will have to make a trip this week...

My friend has a 70 or 75 gallon acrylic tank with a built in overflow and a sump (about 2.5 ft x 2.0 ft) set up below with roughly half of the sump bioballs and the other half the return pump area, heater, etc.. It is currently setup as a freshwater tank but he wants to convert it to saltwater...

thanks for your advice. i guess i will just have to wait a couple more weeks til i have some fish and a decent sized bioload and hopefully i will see this thing start to work. anyone else have one of these things and recall how long it took before they began pulling skim out of their tank?

i have a 60 gallon tank with a 48" coralife light fixture (130 watts) that has both power compacts and actinic bulbs and i also have an additional 4 foot actinic bulb and fixture and i was wondering what kind of corals i can keep under these lighting conditions. thanks. here is a picture of the...

had one in my 40 gallon for 5 months and last month went to pull out what i thought was a molting but ended up being the crab itself. i was pretty shocked that it had died because it was doing so well and had molted twice since i had him then outta nowhere he was a goner..

ok, didnt know that but it makes sense about the flow rate calculation with the HOB filter. well i now have 2 canister filters since my dad decided to kick in some cash on my project and the rena is only rated up to 45 gallon tanks. one is rena that is rated at 1000 liters per hour (263 GPH) and...

i really like the Pelewensis butterflyfish (5 inches) and orange butterflyfish (6 inches) [Not to be confused with orange face butterfly]. i have never had either one of these but they are beautiful fish. especially the orange butterfly, it gets a brilliant blue on its tail in addition to the...

yes i am still cycling. i believe its almost done as all the tests i have done have been coming up with proper readings or near proper readings. ammonia 0, nitrite 0-.25, nitrate 5 ppm, and pH 8.3. i am cycling with about 65-75 lbs crushed aragonite/coral combo and about 40 lbs "dead rock" that...
