the hippo just swam a bit when a clown came to visit it, im thinking/hoping im worried about nothing

Thanks The hippo has me a little worried shes been laying on the bottom of the QT since added. I have the lights off in the tank and parameters are all good. Is this because of stress? Is there anything i can do to help?

Sure am. Would love to toss her straight to the DT but guess I'll play by the rules

went to the LFS and didnt end up getting a coral beauty, but I did grab a large hippo that the owner has been holding for me for quite some time in one of his coral tanks. The tank was pretty bare of coral so today was a good day to net him out. I'm acclimating him right now and will post pics soon

I just added the clowns yesterday so the added length to their QT wouldnt be much

LFS has a really nice coral beauty I'd like to buy. Would it be a bad idea to QT it with the clowns?

Yes they did and heres some pictures of them and a few pieces of coral. The smaller clown is definitely my favorite.

Just ordered at New Generation 14000K T5 HO Fluorescent Korallen Zucht and a Purple Plus T5 HO Fluorescent ATI I'm going to start by removing the two 50/50 bulbs and adding these ones then will play around with it from there. I'll post pics once they arrive

thanks

I've heard numerous times that sponges can't be out of water which arrises my question of how do I get the sponge from the bag to the dt after I float it without either introducing the sponge to air or the bag water to my DT? I got the sponge from SWF so I'm floating it accordingly to their...

That's a real pain, good luck

I got my LS today from SWF and so far so good. It came doubled wrapped in bags inside a styrofoam box and was in water. It has a good variety of particle sizes, some small LR rubble, and I could see a few small critters moving around. I'll let you know how it goes as it progresses. It's in my...

I havnt experimented with red yet, that sounds pretty interesting though. I'm also thinking about replacing just one of the 50/50 whites with an ATI purple plus

The more I read about the neptune controllers by aquacontroller the more I'm convinced they are the way to go. Does anyone know what the lite unit does that the standard doesnt?

Thanks for the compliments they are much appreciated. Time for another question though. I'm thinking about a controller, mainly to time my lights with, but I would like to be able to run most of my equipment off of it if I want to down the line. I'd also like it to be able to give me updates...

As of now I'm leaning towards your suggestion meowzer if I change from the current setup, maybe changing the two 50/50 whites to a 15000k and a blue special possibly

Thanks for the input Meowzer, I like the idea of the 15000K
