a 2.5 is going to be a very difficult tank to do. Do you have any experience with a reef tank of any size let alone saltwater? To answer you questions, sure you could use a 10w PC. Woould it be enough? Depends on what you want to keep. I dont know about the filter. I have never seen it...

22 gallon, 150w VHO

BUY THE COMBO BOX!! It is a FANTASTIC addition to the bak pak. I see the point of it clashing with the background, but I would definitely get it. I cant even begin to tell you how much nicer the water is with it. HOWEVER . . . . it will not fit over a maxi jet powerhead. So either get the...

Yes I would be concerned. What size tank is it in? Are there macro algaes growing in the tank? Tangs are very active fish and have a high metabolism rate. Hence they need to eat more, almost constantly. That, and I would be surpised if it ate the brine. These fish are herbivores, they dont...

Originally posted by Daniel411 Is that a new section? I've never noticed a damaged coral section there before. Aww, I was on my way their saturday, than got side-tracked :( I think so, I have never seen it before either. Its way in the back corner of the far greenhouse . . . . right next...

Yet another question . . . totally unrelated to thie thread, but I saw that you have an alveopora in your bowfront. Got any tips/suggestions/comments on it? I got one today from the damaged coral bin for 12 bucks and am concerned about its placement in my tank. Justin

I just re-read your post and you answered all my questions. Yes, you have glass anemones, as do I. I dont know what to do about them either. Justin

Ok, now for some strange reason I can all of a sudden see what it is that is being referred to. And If I am guessing correctly based on picture and description, it looks to be similar to what I have in my tank. Are there little tentacles coming off the body? Are there white tips on the ends...

Well, it has been in its new spot for about 4 hours now, and it has already expanded more so than it was at the store. I guess I will leave it until it tells me other wise. I am going to have to look at the damaged goods section more often! Justin

A fuzzy picture? I cant see much of anything in the pic. Got a better one?

I think that your skilter can definitely still be useful . . . as a door stop. No seriously, they really arent that useful at all in a marine aquarium unless you are very dedicated to making it work. Now dont get me wrong. I think that the Bak Pak is a great skimmer. i have and use one my...

Originally posted by MarVida These are the books I have found to be of value. Some of them might be more specific than you need unless your interests lean in that direction. 1.) The Conscientious Marine Aquarist - Robert M. Fenner 2.) Reef Secrets - Nilsen & Fossa 3.) Invertabrates, A Quick...

Well, after careful examination of the tissue, I can see where it was damaged, but the tissure recession is about the size of an eraser on a pencil. It really isnt bad. I too dose DT's in my tank, and I have and idea of where i want it to go, but it would be about midway up the tank, with no...

Well, a trip to the LFS today yielded some interesting results. I went to the TROPIC . . . OR . . . I . . . UM . . . better not say;) Anyway, I saw that they have a damaged coral lagoon and happened to see a fully expanded alveopora (yep, counted em' . . . 12 tentacles). I picked it up for...

I answered in your other thread.

I run the rio 600 on my bak pak, and have for over a year. It runs fine for me. Just make sure that you give the pump a really good cleaning once a month and it will not give you any trouble. I know that these skmmers are rated for up to 60 gallons, but I dont think I would feel comfortable...

I strongly adivse against using a net to catch a fish unless it is a necessity. Their gill flaps get caught easily in the mesh and can tear causing permanent damage. A much better idea is to use a wide mouthed jar. Place the jar in there the night before and let the fish get used to it being...

There are lots of great books out there. Some are geared more towards the beginner, and some are more complex. I would suggest reading either one of two books to start off with. The concientious marine aquariust, or The Natural Reef by John Tullock. I read the natural reef, and I have a much...

Originally posted by plum70rt thanks all ,72 watts pc on a 7 gallon , clam does well. I dose mega dts, I can see shell growth already:) Just out of curiosity . . . could you define "mega dose" I had a maxima in my 20 for about a year, and I too dosed DT's an awful lot. However I could not...
