hmm...i thought the previews were hilarious...

Welcome! "Cycling" refers to starting a tank out with the initial mix of salt water, rock, and sand. People used to put their fish in with this stuff but the ammonia (and other chemicals) spike to usually lethal levels after you start to feed them. Because of this you dont add the fish until...

Damn i wish my friends and family knew anything about SW fish...i never get any fish-related presents because they know they would probably get me a downgrade, something I already had, or something that wont work with my tank. How cool is NM's wife for getting him all those frags of SPS...I do...

i think you definately have plenty of light for a 55

yay, i think i suggested this a while back...he he...i rock :happy:

Glad to hear its doin better. What kinds of fish do ya have in there? Let us know how it goes with this guy, i love the way they look but im afraid that one would eat my fish (although my tank is too small anyway...but i can dream, can't I?).

yeah let us know...theres a pair of true percs at my LFS that are hosted by a large hammer. Should be interesting...post some pics if they do

Generally keeping two or more anenomes of a different species is not a good idea, they may sting and/or kill eachother. I wouldnt be surprised if one or more looked unhealthy because of this....but i personally have never done this so Im not sure.

yeah, if you decide to add another clown it should be the same species IMO

I think some frogspawn or hammer coral would look cool with your ricordea, maybe an anemone too

thats funny, im actually a recovering addict and we have this expression that goes something like "you cant stop being an addict you can only replace your addictions with healthier ones".......well, im obsessed with this hobby as well...but at least its a whole lot healthier than drugs or...

I always thought there was something fishy (no pun intended) about DSB's...one of those old theory vs. practice issues.

fleck@usc.edu thanks!! :happy:

how many gallons, how many lbs. of LR?

Tony, im just curious how many inches you would consider to be a DSB?

An Oregon Tort you say? This might just be your lucky day...oh wiat...I dont have any, he he he. Im afraid im in the same boat as you this holliday season

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 form very similiar plates. I'm thinking that the "Red Polyped Danae" is actually an M...

oh yeah...if you cant get people to donate, maybe just buying a little sand would work. I mean...you might not be able to afford 200lbs...but maybe 20?

wow, talk about being prepared...your future tank residents will be very happy im sure :happyfish

nice
