    Time/Money Commitment

    Welcome! Like Spline said...it is a VERY ADDICTING hobby...I started out with a 29 gallon and within 3 months purchased a 120 gallon set up. I have no regrets...but it gets expensive when you go to the fish store and look in their tanks....your wish list gets bigger and bigger. As far as time...

    Kick Ich?

    I have used Kick Ick before in my reef tank...it did not kill anything...not even the Ick. If you have to empty your tank of all of your LR to catch a fish and put him in a Hospital tank, it is worth the trouble. JMO Brenda

    Metal Halide Lighting question

    Originally posted by msd2 True lighting can be very confusing. Your smart to start with MH first off. Secondly with your size of tank your going to need several bulbs, for total wattage as well as to avoid shadows. Personally I would probably go with 2 250wt mh bulbs, maybe even 400wts. I...

    Metal Halide Lighting question

    I have been reading lots but still am having a hard time understanding this lighting thing. Based on what I have read, I do know that I would like to get metal halides for my 120 reef that could possibly work with my future 200 tank. Here is my problem... When I look on the different aquarium...

    Here goes another Ick question...

    Here goes another Ick question... I have a 120 gal display tank, 29 gal QT tank and 10 gal hospital tank. My hippo was in my QT and showed signs of ick. He is now in my hospital tank being treated. The LFS told me that after he is done being medicated, he should go back into the QT and not...

    Prizm or SeaClone?

    I chose the Prizm Pro Deluxe instead of the Aqua C Remora because it was cheaper and got fairly good reviews. I wish I had spent the extra money on the Aqua C. The prizm is hard to tune...I always have micro bubbles to deal with. When I do get it tuned right..it works well...it's just hard to...

    Pregnant Cleaner Shrimp

    This is one mine looked like just before it spawned....all the fish in the tank had a feast which was great for them...not so great for all the little shrimpies... (we got to watch it happen...pretty cool) Brenda

    OT- How old is everyone here

    41....sheesh and some of you say you feel old??? Being a grandmother doesn't make me feel as old as hearing the age of all you people. 20 years of FW tanks...8 months of SW and loving it. Brenda:jumping:

    Tang picking on new tankmate....

    I just got home from work and the fish are all sleeping...but before I left, things seemed to be going a little bit better. Tang was still chasing the wrasse into the rock work but it didn't seem to be as big of an issue. I will keep a close eye on them though. Thanks for the replys Brenda:jumping:

    Tang picking on new tankmate....

    I just added my 6 line wrasse and bangaii cardinal to my 120gallon reef tank. My Scopas Tang seems to have issues with the 6 line so I moved the LR around to create a new environment. He seems to still have some agressions toward the 6 line. Is there anything else I can do...or should do...or...
