    CUC

    Are those Mexico Turbos or Floridian Turbos? Be careful becasue the Mexican Turbos are HUGE but the Floridians are much smaller. Crabs will eventually kill off your snails looking for shells so I would try and stick with just one. Unless you dont mind adding new snails every 6 months to a year.

    torch coral

    It will be fine and no it doesnt have to be in the upper part of the tank. I have had a many LPS in lower wattages then that on the sand bed. They just wont grow as fast.

    29g Low Light Reef

    Set up technically as a frag tank but I wanted it to look more natural. Need to get a filter and another powerhead in there but so far just using the sand and live rock.

    T5 bulb question

    Try and put a Fiji Purple in there! I added one to my tank awhile back and love the results. Usually the Fiji goes in the 3rd from the front or the 2nd from the front. UVL is really good. They can be more expensive but well worth it. I changed out my lights from stock to my own combo and I love...

    hermit crab luck?

    A skimmer is a skimmer I would assume lololol for a reef tank 1.024-1.026 is a good range If your going up to 1.032 that is a waste of salt...no need in that much. You can take some tank water out and add freshwater to it and put it back in the tank and keep doing this until the salinity...

    Stock List-What to Add First

    In my opinion your selection looks ok to add when ever you want. I added my Fox last so I am unsure as to which number it should go in if at all. What are your plans on when your adding them? Are you going to try and add a few at a time?

    Purple Montipora?

    I was second guessing myself because this looks like its part of the skeletle structure here. I thought Monti's grow off of a structure.... The colony is flat with this bubble effect on it

    what tangs?

    What ever you decide be very careful with the Powder Blue and Powder Browns those are almost guaranteed to get ick. If they are placed in a large tank first before anyone else your chances are better at avoiding the issue. The Clown Tang can be aggressive so it depends on what kinds you want. Do...

    Do Most Non Reef Safe Fish Leave Mushrooms and Leathers Alone?

    Im thinking about turning my 55g frag tank into a fish only tank but I would still like to put leathers, xenia, mushrooms and maybe some polyps like green stars. Can you give me a good list of fish that are said to be non reef safe that will do ok with those coral?
