Originally posted by fishman622 is the powder blue tang a great fish. i was thinking of getting one No tang would do good in a 65 gallon when fully grown, esspecially the Power Blue. The Powder blue can be quite difficult to keep, and is quite prone to disease. I would recommend holding off...

the coralline is beginning to turn white. This is most likely the cause of a low Alkalinity and/or Calcium level. I have found that coralline starts to grow the most around 10-14dKH, instead of around 8dKH. A Calcium level of around 450ppm should also help in getting coralline to grow. A sudden...

I wanted to quickly comment on the feeding of lettuce. Lettuce should not be fed to the fish. Lettuce doesn't contain healthy nutrients and is hard on the fishes digestive system. Any human foods (Lettuce, cucumber, brocilli, etc.) should not be fed to saltwaterfish. I would recommend feeding...

if you could post what type of calcium I use a DIY kalkwasser doser, two part Bionic and sometimes Kents alkalinity buffer. In November I'm hoping to get a calcium reactor setup, as it's way too expensive to buy $24.00 of Bionic every month. lights you have 2x 400wt 10,000k Ushio's on PFO HQI...

Steve, Very ncie S. hystrix! I picked up a nice fat frag of the S. hystrix from Carlos for $25.00. Roland, The A. formosa I got from you has some amazing coloration! I'll post a picture of it later on. Graham

Originally posted by flamingkingofhe how big is your tank In his profile, it says 80 gallons. Are there any other fish in the tank that would possibly harass the fish? That doesn't sound normal, unless the tang was blind (which I doubt). Graham

Originally posted by cincyreefer the 6500K will contribute more to the growth of algae and doesn't look nearly as good. That's why the actinic is also in there :) It really all comes down to personal preference. If you enjoy the coloration of the bulb, then keep it. If you don't, then you...

How about having some Sexy shrimp in the 2.5 gallon tank? Graham

Originally posted by balashark21 will that crash the 2.5? i hope not. A 2.5 gallon is way too small for even a 1" puffer. Graham

Originally posted by Ty_05_f I didn't want it in the first place but my mom got it for me. How big do they get it is already at least 6 inches each tentacle so its about a foot in length. I have been stung by the thing and it left a little whelp this summer. How big do they get? The answer...

Originally posted by krowleey just tested my water for hardness and my salifert tests tested about .26 which is KH of 11.8 and alk of 4.23 NSW is 8 KH of 8 and alk of 2.9 That sentence was slightly confusing. Was the dKH 11.8 or 8.0? I try to keep my alkalinity around 12dKH, which in my...

It's, for the most part, normal for anemones to turn themselves inside out. This is commonly used to rid themselves of waste. If after 24hrs it does not return to normal, I would be worried. When an anemone is dead, it will often have a white film surrounding the tissue. Graham

attml, Bonermeister, waterfaller1, touchdown34, jauringer, Jonthefb and DVS, Thanks for the great comments! :) As far as lighting goes, I have 2x 400wt 10,000k Ushio's on a dual PFO HQI ballast. I also just recently added in 2x 65wt Actinic Power compacts, which will soon be upgraded to 2-4x T5...
