    Striped Fang Blenny feeding

    ora captive raised fang blennies (they rear a few different species) eat prepared readily but even they arent aggressive eaters and do alot of liverock hunting. they eat almost like trained maderins (look at it for a minute to decide if they want to try it but a little more quickly). I had a...

    FOOD AMOUNT ???'S

    If it makes you feel better use the same amount and break it in half clipping half of it in the morning and half in the evening. I fed my tangs 3x3 algae sheets each daily and they finished them in about 10 minutes. I grew a hippo from an 1" to 3" and had another perfectly healthy 3.5" powder...

    Lighting a 30g reef

    Either a four bulb T5 HO set up with decent reflectors or dual 150w halides. make the right selection and you can keep anything with that (of course there are other options but these are fairly ideal IMO). I use a 150wx2 sunpod on mine. not the most advanced 150w x2 set up (and not available...

    Lawnmower Blenny

    I've had several for at least 3-4yrs at a time. NONE did anything to control algae. get them because they're cool not to control algae. they dont eat the big visable ugly stuff. mine have always needed algae sheets to survive.

    Anyone know much about anthias?

    I havent really ever had problems with anthias at all even though I havent tried the truly difficult ones to keep (nor should I or most anybody else). dont find them to be particularly succeptable to ich or disease what so ever (and cleaner shrimp will do most nothing for ich). My experience has...

    Hamilton Cayman Sun Reflector DE HQI 14K System

    its gotten good reviews. simular to lumenmax 3's. the cayman, lumenmax 3 and 250DE elites are pretty much the only aquarium use advanced wide spread double ended reflectors out there. at least one guy claims to have PAR tested them against lumenmax 3's with favorable results.

    Anyone not like a refugium?

    yes I've said to self I probably wont bother with one if I do another set up just a nice clean skimmer compartment. My intent would to keep sand, live rock crud, detritus and other fuge crap out my sump. A remote fuge would be feasable but I'd much rather replace that with a remote frag tank...

    IMO, something i find very annoying...

    thats why my next set up will be dry rock and "pre" aquascaped. I dont really like my aquascape but its too late.

    What do I do with this rock/coral??

    if you like it cure it and drop it in. I think your in-laws may have perpetrated a felony as live rock imported from hawaii is hard to export and hard to come by. Matter of fact I've only seen it for sale in limited quantities once.

    Pagoda rock placement Question

    have always kept mine low in the tank and I wish it would stop growing now. I think it can work where ever you put it though if acclimated to it.

    More calcium = more coral growth

    taking a picture under 10k would look NOTHING like it does in my tank ( I know I have 10k and dont use them, growth wasn't so superior for me to live with them over 20k). there are 1000's of others who use almost exclusively 20k bulbs (or bulbs labelled 14/15k that are really 20k). I would even...
