It is a very powerful form of lighting. With this lighting you may not need a very powerful heater because they heat stuff up. MH stands for Metal Halide

For a reef you will need plenty of water flow so don't forget powerheads.

I would set up a refugium, as for filtration, MH lighting, and I don't have a particular brand on heaters.

Tangs get big plus they are prone to ick and I hear they are not good starter fish.

$1500 for just the tank or for tank, stand, LR, sand, equipment, ect. ?

I think a 75 would do fine for a reef. I am new also and only doing a Fish with Live rock tank. Do you know what kind of fish you would like to have? If you want a large number of bright fish and a reef you will want to go with smaller fish like gobies, clowns and such. Kind of figure out what...

I also agree with Murph on the letting it sit outside thing. The chemicals will get in the water and harm your fish if they are not all gone by the time you fill with water. Let it dry compleatly!!!

Live Rock is expensive. If you are short on fundage you can just start with a little bit and just add as you go along. I have a 75gal and only 13lbs of LR. I buy a peice here and there when I can afford it. I did start with a little bit. Only 3lbs. By the time I got it home it had some die off...

Grumpygils, Yes from the pic they do look like girls.

Thank you. My real concern is what killed the poor little fishy? I am afraid to get anymore fish if it is something in the tank picking them off but the other 2 seem to be fine.

Ok. I woke up this morning to find my firefish dead in the clutches of my cleaner shrimp. I pulled him out to look at him and the eye that had pop eye was missing and the whole contents of his head had been pulled out through the eye hole. His head looked like a molt. A perfect replica of...

That is what I thought but it doesn't hurt to ask. Thank you.

Thank you for all the ideas. I don't want a lion to eat my fish. About once a year we go on a week vacation and we go on 1 weekend vacation. I am afraid my designated fish feeder wouldn't know how to feed on properly to keep it from starving enough to eat my other fish. I may look into the other...

Thank you. My other fish don't seem to have a problem with the new added flow. Just the firefish. The clown is a litte bigger than the firefish but the damsel is smaller. I will try positioning the powerheads how you described. Thank you again. BTW will my other fish get sick. I am 90% sure they...

I am sorry. My sg is 1.025. If I use the med you said do I have to qt him or is that stuff safe on inverts?

I Have Only Had My Mandarin For A Short Time But He Eats Frozen Food. I Also Have A 10 Gal I Keep Pods In With Nothing But A Few Lbs Of Lr And A Couple Of Bunches Of Micro Algea. When I Transfer The Pods I Just Take A Ball Of The Algea Out And Shake It In The Water Of The Mandarin Tank. Btw The...

How does the bottle thing work?? I have heard many talk about it but never explain it??

Thank you for your help. I think I might wait till all my fish have bit the bottom then go aggressive. I don't want to hurt them.

any lumber yard, or home improvment store. I have glass tops on mine and I love them. I don't have to use my heater all that much. The glass tops helps to seal the heat in but alows some of it out the back to keep it from overheating.
