I've got a 265 gallon but it's in northeast arkansas if your interested.

I'm interested too. What gallon tank size is this sized for? Why are you selling it? stoneworks52@cox.net

What most have said here is pretty well what to look forward to. It is costly but very rewarding. Do as we say and "research everything". I believe you will find that most all of the people here are more than willing to help you. Sometimes there are some conflicting answers but they...

Galaxia can and do sting. I would make sure they have at least 6" from any other corals. As far as the foxface I'm not sure. I would think they are too fast for the galaxia. JMO. I have had one kill a stalk of Xenia but hasn't bothered any of my fish. Had it about 16 months now.

I don't mean to hijack a thread but if I put this somewhere else it might not get read. You said your moving to the Goshen, Elkhart area. I use to work for a company that the corporate offices are in Elkhart. Nibco. Ever heard of it?

Looks like a colony of Zoo's to me.

Unfortunately, I too can't seem to keep my big mouth shut. I've done the same thing. But it's funny how some people like us just hate to see things done wrong and no one step up to bat and tell them. The LFS worker should have told him, but then that's another story. On another note Hey...

Hey reef, what part of the Ozarks were you at. I'm in Arkansas.

A 90 gallon tank with 150 lbs of live rock gives the critters all kinds of places to hide. I have 2 emerald crabs that were about the size of a nickle when I put them in, didn't see them for a while and one of them is about as big a a fifty cent piece. That boy has grown :scared: . my shrimp...

JS, sorry to be so late getting back, been out of town. My email is stoneworks52@cox.net Carl

I have had my reef going for about 18 months. I have more coraline algae than I want. test your calcium levels. If they're low your probably not going to get any coraline growth. I have to scrape it off of the front glass weekly if not more often. The back glass has been completely covered...

not trying to hijack a thread, but hello fellow Arkansans.....I'm in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Thats awfully close to Hoxie huh......lol

I had one do that right after I bought it. The next time it molts it will probably grow it back with the molt. Mine did.

Something as small as snails (unless the big Turbo's) are usuallly just a meal to other cleanup crew or fish or shrimp etc. If not too big or too many I would usually just leave them alone shouldn't cause a real need for alarm.

Not knowing any of your parimeters I don't think I'd worry about it yet. A lot of times they "shed" and look like they're dying. This usually takes a few days to complete. You will see a clear like covering that it will "shed" after a while.

I got my Seaclone when my Prizim's motor locked up after about a year. I got the prizim fixed and put it back on my tank. Most people don't like the Prizim, but for the price I have not had any problems other than the motor, and mine works fine. There are better one's out there they are just...

I've got a Seaclone 100. I like it because of it's compactness and works pretty good, I don't like it because "mine is a HOB" as the water level varies you have to constantly adjust your air flow. It may be because mine is not in a sump I don't know...... :notsure:

Aiptasia just has a nasty habit of spreading like wild weeds, they can take over your aquarium if left unattended. I also believe they have the ability to sting some coral's. I believe I had one come up between two of my Xenia and were stinging them. I could be wrong, but before killing out...

Like Ophiura said, "another ***** bashing" I agree. A lot of people have had a bad experience with ***** I'm sure. But I wonder, if the odds were counted up with only two sources of supplies, either live or hardware would the "BAD LFS"s" out number the "bad *****'s"? I'm not trying to choose...
