What you need..... Good water flow, salinity of .024,.025, or .026. Some lighting and some calcium of 400+. Get those and you should be golden. Takes a couple weeks to months.

12 gallon eclipse

Iron? haha. Not likely. Brains get their color from symbiotic algae. Keep the brain happy, keep the brains color. Other than doseings with stuff like coral vite and essential elements you can feed a brain at night or sometimes in the day. The best time is when his tentacles are out and...

Concur on that ruling

Depends on the size. If you want something brighter then go with some power compacts. It really depends on the size of the tank and how bright you want things.

Try blue. Makes the tank a bit brighter if thats a concern. I like it alot better than black.

If you are just setting up your tank don't worry about it. Cycle will take care of it. Your tank may just be cloudy for a week.

The kenya tree coral on the floor is now standing up about 6 inches. My fire shrimp has passed away too :(

10 gallon tank with the new 96 watt quad aqualight from coralife. FRY FRY FRY.... If you want to get down and dirty thats almost 10 watts a gallon. The quad light is about 90 dollars to your door on the net. BTW here is my 12 gallon eclipse with their dual flourescent hood in it

Anyone have these? I just thought i'd recommend them in any reef. They hitchhicked to my LFS and i took home about 15 of them. GREAT algae eaters and they stay small. Check them out in Sprungs invert book. Pg. 109

You don't need so many turbos. They will probably eat themselves to death. They need alot alot of algae. I would go with maybe 5 and 10 astrea snails or ceriths or combo both. Also go with about 20-30 blue legs. Maybe some shrimp or emeralds. Variety is the key.

super glue gel. Some soft corals won't glue. If the polyps slime at all then the super glue won't work. You may want to place the frag in a calm spot and wait for it to grab some sand then try glueing it.

if one has it then all of them have it. But some may be resistant and it may not manifest on them. BUT if you don't treat all your fish the fish you just treated may reget ick. Ick is tricky like that. Whatever you end up decideing to do keep in mind the ick lasts for 3 or 4 weeks until it...

True LFS questions and stories where i work.... DO NOT place a 150 dollar French Angel in a fresh water tank.... DO NOT ask me if we sell the tanks out of the walls of the store....

If the brain ever turns white then worry. Otherwise if he keeps his color don't worry. The porites will open up given some time. They do need some kind of current over them. Nothing super strong but a nice little flow will help them open up. I think they filter feed to an extent so...

Try as best as you can to keep an eye on your shrimp. They may be ok since the coris is juvenile but you never know.

You can't really. Look for a small mound. You have so much sand and rock he could be hiding anywhere. You'll just have to keep your eye out. Sometimes his fins will stick out a little. Wrasses "go to bed" once they learn the light cycle. Alot of fish will do that if you set a timer for...

what clowns?

Well its a pretty wrasse as a juvenlie and will change color like an angel when he gets older. But foot long wrasses are terrors sometimes. Big mean and aggressive. Stick to the sixline. Heck 6 inch wrasses are aggressive let alone 12. Get Scott Michaels book Marine Fishes. Lists most...

im sorry you got one. I don't recomend them to anyone where i work. I've heard nothing but bad things about them. It may just be inferior parts. A skilter concept is really genious though if someone can make one that works well
