yes it is

Whats my best way to rid myself of the diatoms in my sand bed? I'm guessing 70 nessasius snails I recently added should help, plus cut back on feeding??

anybody have any thoughts?

As far as additions go I could be content with sticking with the softies for a while but if there's some half way simple/not super expensive equipment additions I could introduce to widen my options I wouldn't be against it. My water quality and clarity now is completely satisfactory. I...

haha I know my wallet is in for a beating

Some of you guys could be current with my tank setup because I have had a thread going in the aggressive section for a while. I have a 280L tank with a 100g sump and probably 250-300 pounds of live rock. The basic equipment is (2) vortex MP40's, Pan world 1750 gph external pump, (2) 48" 6x54w...

I'm leaning towards going more reef

Thanks Superman, the triggers havnt touched any inverts yet, so my fingers are still crossed. I'm really enjoying the corals so I think I'm going to try to keep them safe.

I've also considered the purple tang any thoughts here? The only one thats for sure is the achilles. RC the more I think about it the more I like the idea of a group of chromis, I'm leaning towards the blue reef chromis if I do it.

I would love a harlequin tusk but i was told several times about the scratches so that's my only hold up there. A foxface could be a very likely potential. As far as the other wrasses go I'm gonna wait and see how the triggers treat my shrimp etc. if they start to munch on them then I'll add a...

I think I'm leaning towards going with the tangs and leaving the large angels out. I'm also considering not adding any anthias's because I cant really feed 3 times a day. I'd also have to add way to much food in order to ensure they get their share. Do you think I could add a naso, achilles and...

Thanks RC, I guess I've got some thinking to do right now. I'll add the anthias next to buy myself some time

Now I'm kinda re-thinking the queen a bit cause I really like the softies I have. It's dissapointing though cause I've seen a few nice tanks with queens and softies but am not sure if I want that large of a risk. The list is -anthias -blueface/another angel, need suggestions, or if the blue face...

K I'll stay away from a bubble tip, how bout a tube? I have a bunch of mushrooms and a few other soft corals, shouldn't they be safe with the queen? Or at least I'm hoping or have to do some thinking. Any idea on what fish would be the best next addition?

I would say go with the 30gallon. It'll be fine for a pair clowns and the more water volume the better

So my tanks about a month away from being 6 months old and I'd really like to get a rbta anemone when that time comes. My LFS has a decent sized one that has attached itself to a rock that could easily be placed into my tank that he would hold for me. Is my lighting sufficient to keep it alive...

She looks great, Have you tried any corals in the tank with her? I've added a few zoas that were in my 280g into my mantis tank to see how they work out.

Thanks Joe, I will definitely add the perimeter acrylic and I have a power head on the way. The mantis hasn't been added yet so that'll be easy to do. Hows your mantis doing?

Are you asking a question here or making a statement?

Thank you guys for following along, the tank turned out the way it did due to all the help from this site. Flower-the lights havnt bugged me at All yet, the only problem I have with them is no moonlights. I've been trying to think of a way to add them cleanly without seeing the hardware and wires
