I don't think any of those anemones meantioned would survive with only 130wts of power compacts. I would recommend staying with the anemone that you have, it's obviously very happy in your setup :) Graham

Here's a shot of my tank running 2x 400wt 10,000k Ushio's on an HQI ballast:

Here's an old shot of my tank, running 2x 400wt radiums on an HQI ballast

Originally posted by Harlequinnut Graham, can you rate the percentage of saltwater coverage in FAMA as oppose to freshwater? Thanks. Andy Usually there's as much saltwater as there is freshwater, although most of the time there seems to be more freshwater coverage than saltwater. Aquarium...

No anemone is truly "easy-to-keep." But, the most success comes from the bubble tip (Entacmaea quadricolor). I received a 2-3" bubble tip from my LFS around 3-4 months ago. About 3 weeks ago, it was over 13" in diameter and took up a quarter of the tank. 2 weeks ago it split- I now have 2x 6"...

I'm suscribed to FAMA (freshwater and marine aquarium), Aquarium Fish magazine, and Marine and Reef (Annual). Click on image to order. FAMA Magazine Most of these can be found in a LFS of a Larger Book Store or Magazine shop. The only magazine that I would caution you about would be Marine...

Very nice tank! I see you have quite a few Cladocora sp. in your tank. Have you placed all of these in the tank, or has the original colony spawned, creating many new corals? Graham

Originally posted by PhoenixINX LFS made a GREAT suggestion... What we think are freshwater mollies are indeed brackish fish. In turn they can go EITHER way. Yes, they can live either way. Thriving either way is an entirly different subject ;) They live the longest in a salinity of around...

What are you planning on keeping? One 250wt halide or one 400wt halide should be fine for that tank. Each bulb should illuminate around 24" of space. Graham

Originally posted by SquishyFish I would feed Dt's...spot feed w/ pumps off till its healthy. Phytoplankton wouldn't do anything for the coral (directly). Large polyped scleractinians, such as this foxcoral, will not feed on phytoplankton- it's simply too small. These corals are carnivorous...

Originally posted by mike19881956 in a 90 gallon bout how many could i have(to have them school) but i want to be able to add many more fish so i can have diversity I would aim for 5 or 7 of them :) Graham

It could be xoolanthae growth spur, cuz of a light change??? I've found that this can be true with anemones, some species of soft corals, and some encrusting species of Montipora (including M. denae and M. verrucosa). But, I doubt this is the reason for the fact that only 175wts of metal...

Originally posted by RyeBread The coral in the middle is Scolymia sp. Or " Donut Coral ". I couldn't agree more :) Another name for it is the "tooth coral." Graham

I would highly recommend not purchasing any tang for such a small tank. Inlcuding the rocks and corals, the tank has less than 20 gallons of swimming space. Why should we keep a fish under anything but the best? Is it just becuase we wish to keep them in something that fits us, the reefkeeper...

Is there any way you could tell us what genus of tree coral you're looking for? As far as other websites comes, saltwaterfish.com doesn't allow any links to other online vendors. So, the best thing I could tell you would be to look around your LFS for some healthy, easy-to-keep, specimins. Graham

Are the damsels going to be used to cycle the tank, or are they simply going to be added after the cycle has completed? If they are for cycling, I would recommend instead, using raw cocktail shrimp (As stated above) for cycling your tank. I find cycling a tank with damsels is cruel and can often...

How big is the anemone? I've had a green E. quadricolor recently split. When I first recieved it at the size of 3", it ate nothing other than krill. As it grew to about 6", it started excepting silversides and lancefish. If the other foods you're feeding are not triggering the nematocysts, then...

Originally posted by Kipass4130 the SPS in question looks like a stylaster coral... The stylaster lacks the yellowish coloration (the usual coloration is purple or red), which leads me to think that the coral pictured is part of the class "Hydrocorallia," or a Hydro Coral. My guess would be a...

As stated above, both your calcium and alkalinity (dKH) seem fine. Strong amounts of current seem to help in the spreading of coralline; coralline can easily release spores into the aquarium, and with the current, it will be spread throughout the tank. I've also found that SeaChem's sugar based...
