the 50/50 bulb will be coming off and something in the 8k range will be put on. I plan on growing some mangroves in the refugium. My buddy has a similar setup and his mangrove trees look great.

Here is my green leather I picked up from MACNA in pittsburge last year. If you got one like this, it is a nice prize. They normally sell for around $80 for a 1" frag. Likes flow and medium lighting. Mine is under a 400 metal halide and 192 watts of actinic.

Hey CalvertBill, It is me Ken the VP of SMMAS, nice to see you over here. Way to keep up the tank and I still need to set up a trip over to see your massive tank.

In my 150 gal, I have had a Yellow Tang, Powder Blue Tang, Pacific Sailfin Tang, and a Hippo Tang all together with no problems for the last 4 years. I also have a 75 gal with a Hippo Tang and a Desjardin's Sailfin Tang for the last 2 years no problem. I see no problem keeping tangs of...

Well thank you very much for the surprising data. Took 3 days, but his hand is back to normal and all swelling is gone.

Well from the personal experience dealing with this issue, the tang used it tail and spines as a defense during the break down of the tank. The tang pricked my buddies hand, caused a little bit of blood, and then a severe bee sting feeling. With in 2 hours his hand swelled up 3-4 times...

The skin of hippo tang is very poisonous if ingested. I am thinking that the barb stuck him and maybe some skin got into the wound. Open wounds and your tank water are a receipt for infections.

So, my friend in our local club got pricked by the barb on the tangs tail during his tank tear down. I would say he has been handleing tanks for 10+ years, so he is pretty cautious. Well from his explantion, the prick was 5 times worse than a lion sting and his hand swelled up like a...

The tank is the simplist tank out of all of mine to take care. SO easy I tend to forget about it. 5 gal water change every 2 weeks, small feeding daily. Never need to top off since there is no evap. Water temp constant at 79. really easy to take care of. Have had seahorses for 1...

Here is a pic of the system about 4 months ago. Everything is just grown larger now. I also removed the 2 bubbltip anenomes from the system. Every thing in the tank now is non stinging.

Yeah the first set of pics was my fault, i mislabed the address for the pics and now i cant delete it. Thanks for the replies.

Definatly a male crab, place in sump. I dont think it is a gorilla crab, unless it is a close relative. Here is my friends gorilla crab she got from some live rock in florida.
