The tang may be stressed out in the 75 as is, don't be selfish and make the fish pay for it. I have a 240 reef(6ft) and I can tell you that tangs need room to LIVE and not survive. I got attached to my Naso tang(16inches) and had to give it to a friend with a larger tank, sometimes you just...

cheato can grow under many varieties of bulbs, check to see what the kelvins are on the bulb. Also check out Melev's reef, he did an experiment with two different bulbs and he found that the higher the kelvins are the better the growth of the chaeto. The more yellow the bulb is, the lower the...

that would be fine, I have 2 mounted inside my glass overflows in my dt

anybody?

do you think 4 modded mj1200(sureflow mods) is enough flow for a 240 mixed reef? My return pump pushes around 2200 gph, two of the mj1200's have the bigger prop(white) and two are the black ones.

here and I thought you needed a needled syringe to inject the aptasia.

any suggestions on a skimmer? I'm really considering downsizing my tank, I go through ALOT of salt and I am tired of using a step ladder to reach into the tank. Honestly, I kind of miss my 90

I'm currently running a coralife super skimmer 220 and a aqua-c remoral pro w/ mag drive pump on my 240 reef. Is this enough? Here is my stock list: -Hippo tang 3 inches -Dusky wrasse 6 inches -midas blenny 4 inches -percula clowns(2) small -devils hand leather -toadstool leather -blushing...

I had an orange tree sponge just like that for 2 years. It was about 2 feet tall. One day I noticed a patch of white on one of the branches and it was all down hill from there. I would definately filter feed your tank often

royal gramma pink psuedochromis (spelling?) +1 on the Midas blenny I just bought a Midas Blenny(African) today and looks stunning especially with my Hippo tang (blue fish yellow fins, yellow fish blue eyes)

what do you plan on keeping? Reef differs from fowlr. Once your tank cycles all you really need to test for are nitrate, calcium, alkalinity, ph for MOST corals.

don't do it, I had mine in a 90 and the naso was pacing back and forth constantly. I now have a 240 and the tang is about 12 inches long from mouth to streamers and I don't know how much longer I can keep it in a 6 foot tank.

naso will outgrow a tank of that size, My naso looks cramped in my 240. Hippo tangs are my fav.

what kind of clam are you thinking? Not enough light in my opinion, clam would slowly starve.

no, my halides are diy. Some have good luck, some don't. I didn't

I have pom pom and waving xenia in my tank and they have been out of the water for a while with no harm done. Xenia are a weird coral, some of the most experienced can't keep them, when noobies have no trouble at all. When the stalks start to turn dark, then they are on the way out.

yes, I bought a 260 watt pc fixture that lasted 4 months and had trouble with corals. I upgraded to metal halides and everything is well. Don't do it, it costs you more money in the long run.

Depending on what lighting you are using, I would start off with some lps corals. It is important to plan ahead in case you want to keep any sps. My favorite coral I have is my first one, it's a moon brain the size of a cantaloupe. Xenia is very cool if kept in check also, but is known to...

If you don't have fish that are known to jump out of aquariums, you could have an open top. If you go with an open top your lights should have a cover to eliminate salt creep and prevent condensation. As far as Iodine goes, you can suppliment sparingly to the tank as recommended on the label...

I get nori from wal-mart, it seems too hold together better than other sheets. My Tangs love it and are healthy as can be. I have a hippo, naso, yellow, and powder brown in my 240. Also the nori is cheap, under $2.00
