I believe that carpets and sebaes are natural hosts for perculas. From what I've heard ....sebaes are hard to keep.

I had a red slime problem for a while. It seemed to go away after I added 25 baha red legs to my tank. Just thought I'd mention that!

From what I have read and heard, they are the hardest to keep and are short lived in captivity. They have some sort of special diet , I think? But, they are beautiful!!!!!!!

I leave both of my bulbs on for 12 hours a day. I believe I read that in a book somewhere. It is supposed to mimic natural conditions..??? Works well for me....

I have 2-96w PC's about 6-8" over a glass cover. [ June 29, 2001: Message edited by: Indy1 ]

I 'm with goofie my tank stays around 85 F during the day and things look great. It has been that way for 2 years now!!! No problems!!!!!! In my opinion if it gets over say...88 F then you mhave a problem. By the way my AC is on @75 F and my tank still goes to 85 F with the lights on..

As a note I watched an emerald pull the polyps off of on of my leathers. I no longer have him!!!

To fine tune the air flow on my seaclone, I use an adjustable air valve instead of the one that came with the skimmer. I also shortened the inner tube to about 3" and my seaclone works better know than ever.

165 watts over a 46g isn't bad. Yes it could be better. I have 192 watts over a 55g (96w actinic 96w 6700). I have a pink pagoda that is about 8" from the top and is THRIVING nicely! You don't neccessarily need to have a "sun" hanging over your tank for it to be nice.

My lfs sold me some live rock that someone pulled out of their reef and stuck in the garage.I bought 13lbs for $15 . After 1 week some of the rock is already starting to form coralline. What a great buy!!! The same day I also purchased a 6"-8" pagoda for $30. It is a beautiful pink color and is...

I now have a brittle star, that vseems harmless. I did have a green serpent star for a while. He got too big (12") and too agressive so i traded for the brittle at my lfs

I too have corals splitting. Everything in my tank is doing well. My temp at the hottest gets to about 86 F. But that is a slow process after the lights have been on almost all day. As long as the temps don't vary drastically you should be fine. I read somewhere that the marine life will adapt...

I just got rid of an Emerald that I saw pulling and eating polyps off of my leathers...

If arrows are not reef safe WHY are then in almost every "reef package?" [ June 18, 2001: Message edited by: Indy1 ]

It's not bubble algae. The blobs are white to clear in color. I have a few in my tank. I also have sponges that appear to. That's the greatest thing about reef tanks.

I have a lot of white and red ones all over my rock. I had bad algae about a year ago, and when that cleared up my live rock exploded with life.

I agree with burn. I have a 55g and change 6 gallons every 2 weeks. And add additives on a regular schedule... Like it has been said before. Some things work for some and not others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ahd a place here in central Indiana that propagates corals that they have a hard time keeping them alive more than a week. Living and thriving would be great let alone growth

The yellow ones I believe are filter feeders. I have one orange and grey ff and 1 sand sifter (black knobby) both doing well.

I agree with NM reef. I like to hand pick my corals at the lfs. There are several lfs here in central Indiana. Plus when ordering online you still have to pay S&H which for live stock isn't cheap. Also most sites will give you an "arrive alive" guarantee. There are great deals out there so do...
