Well i relooked at your pictures and i think i see what you did.... You lined the box with 2x4 beams? How did you secure those?

Bang I had a thought about all the pressure of the 900 gallons of water.... Where is it being absorbed? From your initial picture of the frame it looked like you just made a box of wood, lined it with pond liner, and filled it up. Is the wood braced on the bottom parts of the "box" or does...

Get yourself some beneficial bacteria you can put in there. Here in Raleigh it's called biozyme. I think Cycle will do it too. Just make sure its for saltwater. It will help to add nitrogen bacterias to the water and clear up the nitrite problem you may be having. Don't know if you know but...

nah members are going up, but you're spending so much time here that you're starting to recognize all the names so the variety doens't overwelm you anymore. Thats what i'm finding at least...

Look for pond information. There are rough formulas out there i just can't remember. Its LXWXHX some constant.... If its odd shapped then its general L W and H

The filter you got will really only be used for water flow in the tank. You do need it but not for the filtration it provides. The good thing about what you bought is you can place the heater in it and i'm sure it has ample space to run carbon which helps to clarify the water. A sponge filter...

kinda sorta. They have their facts wrong. The effect of the blue light before and after the main lights is to provide a "dawn and dusk" effect for all the life in the tank. It won't benefit the coralline either way. Haveing the lights on, small amount of waterflow, good calcium levels, and a...

selling everything aren't you.... Would you be willing to trade it for corals i have and cash?? Shoot me an email if so. Im having issues with my user cp and won't see any updates. Ill also forget i even wrote to this :)

They should be ok but they are going to wonder where their home went :) As for the small perc definitely find him another home. It will be likely the pair will kill him for invading their space. SInce you can keep corals try buying a nice hammer/frogspawn for them. They will take to it after...

Yes disappear when you feed. You could be scaring him into not eating. If you have access to live food sources i would try that as well. Particularly live brine shrimp. Soak some seaweed in garlic and let it sit in the tank. Minimize your activity around the tank and if you must watch do it...

Its a combination of several things. Stress, age, lack of proper diet. Usually tang coloration can be attributed greatly to lack of proper diet which in turn stresses them out. Older regals tend to loose their brilliance as they get older. As do quite a few tangs. So that may be the case as...

Blennies will hid in a hole very well. Give him some time. And if he did die yeah there won't be any sign of him left.....

It gets on the crushed coral because it has a larger surface area. Corralline will grow in the sand to a smaller extent, but only on the larger pieces. Where are your power heads pointed. It will grow in medium flow generally. I'm pretty sure it won't grow in high flow areas but indirect...

:) I remember that debate. Yes he is healthy. And he should be ok in your tank as well. Especially since its 6 feet long. The purple tang btw will get just as big as the powder blue which is about 9 inches body wise. He needs a varied diet and lots of algae to stay healthy. Try not to...

The difference is he's got light a light needing coral. They look similar but whats he's got can produce zooxanthellae thus you need some pc's for them. You can't buy them around here. Thats all i know....

Interesting acclimation method. Never heard of it before. I've killed a few turbos myself. Some from hermits others from starvation. I wouldn't put 10 mexican turbos in anything less than a 125 with lots of rock. These guys need loads of substantial algae to survive. If you want a glass...

I meant the new green one :) But you know what im' talking about......

I remember the coral. Does it expand at all? Is it still receeding? Wish i could take it. I'm currently saving a bubble coral. You can put nutrients in the water to help feed it. If you have some sinking pellets you can sprinkle them on him as well to feed him. The key to bringing a coral...

Pic definitely confirms its a limpet. Algae eaters. Keep an eye on the corals too....
