i dont have any experience with nano tanks, but i just wanted to say that im also a freshman

ive heard that generally, smaller polyps are harder to care for, like darth mauls

im not sure why pinstipe has brown corals with mh lighting. but corals are more of a brown yellow in lower lighting. thats why most corals in real reefs are brown and yellow (yes, good mh does provide more intense lighting than the sun). the reason that they look brown is because the...

im not sure if that tank has enough room for 2 benggais and 2 ocelaris clowns. i would ask around about territory issues.

you need to upgrade to a 6x54 watt with indivdual reflectors or a 2x 150 mh system to support an anemone. its probably too late for this one.

im sorry, but i dot completely understand what your saying. who is they and what kind of nano tank are you talking about (brand or just a small tank). live rock, or more often live rock rubble is put in the sump for aditional biological filtration. rubble is used because it provides more surface...

its not that there are set colors, like there is one shade of green, red, brown, etc. when you say rbta, it is a general term meaning that it is some shade of red/purple/pink. also, about the tips of it, that is a rare mutation. there's someone on the forums with a green bta with orange tips.

wait a few months before you get an anemone (i also agree with an rbta, theyre more expensive, but look cooler than regular btas). your lights are fine for an anemone, and anything else you would want to get. also, if you do at all, dont feed your anemone often. they can grow very fast and take...

i have no idea what you two are talking about, but it sounds interesting. could you explain it in simpler terms please?

just a rule for the forums, never listen to slackjawed. also, triggers do snap, but only usually agressive ones. you can keep the niger and bluethroat, but avoid the clown IMO. the problem with opinions on SWF is that no two fish are the same, s you will always get arguments when you ask...

they need more room than that. you can really only do valentini puffers in a 55

1/16 of an inch isnt really something you can get mad about. every time you make a cut with a table saw it shortens the overall length of the two things by about an quarter to eigth of an inch. 1/16 was much closer than what i got when i cut mine. filling the gap with silicon works fine

techinically, your clown cant be pregnant as clownfish arent live bearers. i dont know if breeding clownfishs stomach bulge with the eggs theyre carrying though

how about a snow flake eel. are there any other eels that can fit in a 60?

i agree with taking 2 out. just a note for future reference: fish school best in odd numbers (besides one).

i really wouldnt recomend fw fish in a sw tank. i know it can be done, but it really does shorten the fish's lifespan and stress them out. anyways, why bother with a sw tank for fw fish

i just have to compliment that pic of yur cat. i have the same thing except mine is in a shoebox
