Originally posted by golfish Hey Graham, Isn't the place you bought your first setup from? The place over by LAX, right? Exactly. I could be a nice place but its just like most LFS, $$$$$$$$$$$$ More than anything I dislike their advice and service. The owner cares about nothing much the...

It would be much cheaper to simply buy the correct lighting setup now than to purchase a lighting system and then upgrade later on if you eventually want to keep higher light organisms. Generally, as you stated, halide setups start at around $400.00. This would include reflectors, dual ballast...

Originally posted by tonyt26 you should try aquaticoutlet in inglewood. its off of manchester and the 405 on hindy ave. they have an excellant selection and some real good prices. I can't stand that place. The owner cares nothing about the wellfare of his livestock, nor does he know...

Originally posted by golfish come on Graham...your not going to suggest he load up his tank with wild caught sps like you did are ya :nervous: I wanted to notify him about a different forum which is specifically deticated to Southern California, where he/she may find more information. Graham

Mark, How are the bleached corals doing that you meantioned on the other forum? I had a few corals do the same thing while I was away, although they're finally regaining their color after three weeks once I got the temperature down from 86. Graham

Originally posted by blueberrypie can clams be stung by corals Corals in the gunus Euphyllia can do great damage to the mantle of the clam. However, more 'peacefull' corals, such as SPS, should be no threat to clams. Graham

Mark, Very colorfull corals! Your 120 is coming along very nicely. I can't wait to see it in another year or two :) Take Care, Graham

I would remove it by simply scrubing the algae off with a clean toothbrush. However, alittle algae shouldn't harm the clam unless it gets so large that it starts blocking the clam from the light. Graham

It's a Dendronephtya -- they're impossible to keep. I've never seen anyone successfully keep one. I would return it. I can assure you it will die. Graham

The T. crocea (which is what you have) is a rock boring clam. As stated above, these clams are naturally found on the rockwork. However, from my experience, they will live fine on the sandbed. and eat phytoplankton and brine shrimp Tridacnid clams will not consume brine shrip, or any other such...

Originally posted by iluvfish REALLY!!:scared: :confused: :eek: I hadn't heard about that. Has anyone seen a difference between Rowaphos and Phosban? Or do they both cause this? I've just stopped using Phosban roughly a week ago. Shortly after I hooked up the reactor I noticed a declined...

It's an Acropora crab (Family Xanthidae). They're completely commensal and shouldn't pose any problem with any of your corals. Here's an Xanthidae crab in a Pocillopora colony: Graham

what is a corallites (Both Radial, Axial, and Incipient? also when you say the cup that holds the polyp do you mean the almost "pimple" like thing that purtrudes from the coral? I guess you could call it a "pimple like thing that protrudes from the coral." As long as you understand what you're...

Originally posted by skilos1 don't think that is a stilosa, as they are real spiny. It's just a m. digitata. I have one exactly like it in my tank. The stilosa is an encrusting monti with spiny nodules as i have read on another coral index site. Chris, You're absolutely correct about the...

Mark, Your system is starting to look very nice. Your T. maxima clam is fantastic. Take Care! Graham
