    No, and I've got to hurry up and get in the shower to go to my grandmother's for lunch, but I'll try to get some when I get back...hopefully it'll look better in a couple hours. We'll see. Keep you fingers crossed!

    Got up this morning and the anemone looks horrible! Looks almost like it's starting to turn inside out. I put it in my 55 and we'll see if that helps any. My husband will be pissed if it dies.

    New light for 55 gallon reef tank...suggestions?

    Yeah, the fans are super loud and I've got the tank in my living room with my 125 gallon and my 29 gallon cichlid tank, so there's already a little sound from all of the tanks, but the fan from my 55 absolutely drives my husband insane when he's watching TV.

    live rock setup

    Actually doesn't it just depend on what kind of starfish you get? I've got starfish in both of my tanks with corals and have never had a problem. I was just told to stay away from chocolate chip starfish because they would eat your coraline algae and corals.

    I've got a LTA anemone in my 55 that's been thriving for almost a year, he's actually gotten huge! We got this new anemone for my clarkii in my 125 and he hosted to him within 5 minutes! But I'll keep an eye on the anemone and if it starts to look like it's not doing to well, I'll stick him at...

    metal halide lighting

    I'm looking into buying that same fixture. You'll have to let me know if it's very loud because that's my whole reason for getting a new one...and if I'm getting a new fixture, might as well go with metal halide right!

    I hear ya. I just hate to have to buy a whole new set up. I'm gonna get another set up for my 55 because the marineland on it now is just too loud and I'm probably gonna go metal halide on it. Thanks for your help though! I've still gotta make it up to Jenks to check out their aquarium!

    I found a couple coralife fixtures online. One with an 18 watt T5 and an 18 watt 10K daylight, and then a fixture with a single 18 watt T5. Of course I'd get one for either side of my tank...but that' really not much wattage, would that be enough to help?

    I don't really have a lot of room to add another fixture to each side of the tank unless it's just one or two bulbs...any suggestions? That won't bankrupt me?

    Begginer Anemone Suggestions?

    Yes, but they're end to end. I bought the tank from a dude at a hell of a steal because he was moving. He told me that he really wanted the coralife lunar lights, but they didn't make a fixture long enough to fit a 125, so he got 2 36 inch fixtures instead. Which I just picked them up and looked...

    You're right meowzer, it's a condy...I looked it up and it looks just like the pictures...white with a red foot. Hope it'll do okay in my tank...

    Well, I was thinking that it was a condi anemone, but I swear the dude at the LFS told me it was a LTA so I thought I was just wrong...maybe not then. Will my Coraline T5's be strong enough for it? I've got 2 36 inch 4-bulb fixtures on my 125 gallon.

    The foot of it is bright red though, does that matter? That's why I thought it was so pretty.

    New light for 55 gallon reef tank...suggestions?

    So, right now I've got a 48 inch 4-bulb T5 HO by marineland on my 55 gallon...it drives me crazy because it's so loud. I've got quite a few zoas, palys, a beautiful flower pot, some clove polyps, star polyps, several ricordea, puple gorgonian,several different mushrooms, large cocoa worm, bubble...
