    Pics of my new 533 gallon tank

    how trusty are those tube steel? did you weld or bolt them together? That tank will defnately need some serious supporting stand.

    I've got the smallest BTAs

    Thought they were some sort of Ricordea when I saw 2 polys on a Tonga branch with some neon green Zoas for $40. I decided to buy that piece. Brought it home, set the branch in place, still thought those were some green Ricordea. Next day, they slightly moved off the spot. So, I went...

    bubble tip anemone lighting question

    it needs some time to adjust to your light. don't mess with it and let it finds its own spot. the more you try to move the anemones, the more stress they get, the longer they anchor and thrive. feed it every 3 days with mysis or small piece of raw shrimp.

    **HELP**New Flooring & Tank move

    I can imagine your fear... I've never done any moving since I started my reef tank, but I'm well known to be such a big mover.

    what's the reason for not going in the tank too much?

    I have no choice but go in the tank to feed quite a few things. My fishes seem to love it everytime I dip my hand in there cuz they know they can steal some food out of that. Why can't I go in there often?

    lots of pics of my tank

    it will eventually fall off that base piece and you will have to get creative on how to set the frog on your lr cuz they just used the 2 part epoxy to stick the frog on. Mine fell off and I had to work it onto my lr. Something that lots of newbies didn't know is that frog's skeleton won't grow...

    lets see those orange linckia stars!!!!!

    they need alots of lr to work on all day long. They also need a well mature tank to stay healthy. The book said Lincka cant' be exposed to air, but mine hang half way in the air when they are bored. So I guess they know what they are doing.

    46 Bow

    I at one time wanted a bow front tank so bad, but I am glad I use strai front. Because when comes to cleaning off those green film growing on glass, bow front would make life miserable, or at least to me. Your Pagoda cup will hate your emerald crabs bad later on cuz those crabs when they get to...

    help on feeding LTA

    I use a long dowel wood to deliver the food to the enemone, then use the stick to to prevent any fishes that try to steal food and guard the anemone while it's swallowing the food. Once the food is in the anem. mouth and it's shut, done.
