i did that. But it over produces bubbles. Ivebeen told it needs to be broken in though. Just wondering your eperiences :)

depends on how you want it to look i would go with 4-6 inches

Looks like you run a prizm. Do the air bubbles ever clear up? Five days from initial setup and no foam whatsoever. I have a capricornus. Your's is gonna take off upwards :)

They can be hurt by air bubbles? I didn't know that. How would you know if they were "sick"? Inflated stomach?

I have a green one living on the bottom of my 12 gallon under 30 watts of flourescents. You should be fine wherever you place them.

Thats pretty good. You could keep just about any coral you want. Just make sure the dimensions will fit your tank. You might be able to find that deal a little cheaper if you look around. Never had to buy halides. That sounds like a deal though. I do know a similar setup bought in the...

I gotcha. I guess ill wait. Maybe it will clear up after i come back from vacation....

probably 5k+ tank with stand and light 2k, 500-800 for rock, 600 lighting, 1k for filtration, 500 for misc stuff. 500+ to stock it with life....Thats kinda on the low side but a good low estimate

yup

Manderins do best with a live supply source like copepods. IE you need a large large tank with lots of live rock. The key, VERY KEY, thing is to get them eating frozen foods. If you can do that then keeping one in a smaller tank is possible. If you can get them to eat frozen you will also...

well if you want a perc then you have to pic perc or maroon. They will kill eachother unless you keep about 10 of each in the same tank. Even then.... If you like percs then get a pair of them. They would be very happy in a 25 and you could keep one or two other fish with them. Such as the...

he should be ok. Just keep in mind they get to be 6 inches one day. Buy a baby and you shoudl be ok. The book i have calls for a 30 gallon but it may just be a length thing that will help accomidate them better.

I have a 20 gallon reef. I set up the skimmer on Monday. At first it produced an inordinate amount of bubbles so i turned the flow down so much that its almost closed. I allowed it to run for a couple days with more of a flow and it didn't produce any foam at all. I do use a penguin...

Just scoop away. It may take a while and just dumping sand in your tank could cloud it for a good week or two. If you have the patience go ahead....

They do make 36 inch vho's. I think they make 24 inch vho's. Look around. Maybe 2 vho's in the back and the new 96 watt 20 inch fixture that coralife makes in the front....

Every tap has different water quality coming out of it. Unless you know what is exactly in your water then use what you know for sure is clean..... Using tap and sea salt and using ro and sea salt can be very different not to mention prolonged use can take your tank down different roads...

I though coralline algae likes quite a bit of current? In my experience it seems to grow where the current is greatest

Just catch them when they are out. Try not to scare them to much. Maybe get them when they are at a top rock or any other structure easily taken out quickly while you nab him. He'll be ok out of the water for a few seconds while you grab him. Just make sure he doesn't jump ship to the bottom.

In a 28 bow more than likely no..... Possibly if you get them from different oceans and at the same time but push your luck.....
