    i wish i could help you out more on this lobster thing but ive never owned one so i cannot really help. i do know that alot of inverts are very sensitive to copper so it probly wasnt your problem

    QT tank.

    sounds like you should be fine. i always just use regular SW that i get from the LFS and let it sit in the tank like 3 or 4 day s before i know i need it. as far as medecine i dont really keep anything on hand cuz you could get hit with anything. but sounds like you got what you need for a desent QT

    Many questions on my sump/fuge setup

    bleach i would think is really bad. i would use white vinager. that is the only cleaning agent i let get anywhere near my fish tank. anything else i think might kill fish.

    55 Gallon Future Reef

    your stock list looks alot better now. as far as that tang goes the "tang police" will tell you not to do it but, if you get him small i think he would be fine for a while. i have had a hippo in my 55g for over a year and he started at like 1/2" and he isnt any more then 1.5"s now so the smaller...

    Using an R/O unit.

    you could do that but your better off starting right from the get go with the good stuff. i noticed alot of algee growing when i used the tap water. then i made the switch to RO and it has just about stopped now/snails can keep up. and it took almost a year and a half to get it all gone

    Curly q anemone.

    yea i think they are too. but i mean if he likes the look then he could probly go for it. i have had mine for a while any it hasnt split or anything. so i dont know how much it grows or spreads but min is kinda at a standstill. looks cool. i would cool to get a few more but i know once i have...

    as far as the RO water goes there might have been copper in the water you were using that could have killed him. he might not have been getting enough food either. i dont know what type of food they need but, he might not be gettine enough.

    Curly q anemone.

    i got one free that grew on my LR when i cured it. it doesnt need much light. right now(last 4 months) its been growing under 32w of flaurecent light. once a week it gets a small hit of my frozen meat stuff that i shoot at it. it also oves the pellets that flow to it. they are supper cheap to...

    you could order all of them at once and put most of them in a QT until you feel the DT is ready for them. as far as food goes for the snails mine really like to eat algee sheets. so that could be a way of food in the QT for a few weeks. SWF.com has never let me down. i havnt lost any inverts...

    i would start off with like 5 small snails and let them go for about a week or 2. then you could try a damsel for a few weeks then depending on your stock list go from there. but this is after your tank has cycled and everything is in check. as far as what inverts you should have im not an...

    Worst acrylic you've seen brought back? How 'bout this one?

    looks like alot of work. if you are looking to buy it then it should be a cheap price if you already have it i hope you got it cheap. i dont see any reason on y it cannot be fixed. be ready to spend hours on buffing it. when my dad got his old hx years ago when he first started i remember him...

    Pod Tank idea

    dude they totally work awsome. the one i hooked up on my gf's 20gH really works well. lots of water movement even with the slower impeler. i was kinda suprised at how well it really does the job. im not as happy with the 70(10g) i kinda wish i would have bought another 110 cuz there so sweet...
