Heres a green chromis and happy feather....

Here are my first attempts at posting pics. Let me know how im doing with my baby.... Full Tank.... The gif lost some color

actually its just skills but you know how it is...... hehehe.... BTW while i have your attentions Sammy could you ID a hermit... I've attempted to take pictures but can't get them to focus very well. Basically it looks like a blue leg but his claws are brownish, blackish with the white spots...

dude? how do you manage those? I'd be scared to add those corals to so little light.... BTW Eel shoot for 5 watts per gallon so around 250 watts of light.

Yes strong smell = dead things which will throw your water paramters off. If you can, visit a Fish store and look around. For as much rock as you want to buy they will usually cut you a decent deal which may save you from having disappointing rock shipped to you.

Yeah dare i say miami doesn't have a reef near it? The chemistry of that salt water may be entirely different than say from reef water from hawaii. Not that i know much about chemistry but it just makes sense to me. And like Iechy said you don't know what "stuff" is floating around there.

Ah i think that would be them. The top part at least.

Well for the corals and anemone you need around 5 watts per gallon of light. Just the corals you want (polpys and mushrooms) 3 watts The peppermint shrimp you want may get eaten by the six line. I think.... Your goby is the new guy on the block therefore the sixline is just protecting whats...

Yes fish are pets when you spend SEVERAL thousand dollars on them. A good dog or cat costs just as much... I think some of the larger fish are very cool. A stingray would be nice to have. They look best in that 200 gallon or larger tank. I personally like the mini fish though since they...

There are other aptasia as well i think.... The ones at the live fish store i go to looked like they were purpleish. They also didn't have so many tentacles. Then again i am color blind :) They definitely didn't look like your picture rye....

Well first of all you could buy some nice corals with 50 watts of light over that tank. BUT your live rock is technically alive. If it's any color other than white then more than likely some type of algae, bacteria, whatever is growing on it. You should see little things sprouted off of the...

try other things as well. Or chopping the brine up more..... My damsels liked mysid shrimp and then stopped eating it because they didn't like it, well it was to big for them. Had to try other things.

DAMN IM GOOD..... Or at least trying to be..... I still don't know half the stuff you sharks do.....

You don't want your lights on 24/7. Do a 12 hour cycle. Turn them off a couple hours before bed and right as you wake up in the morning. From what i've heard properly curing live rock is supposed to be done without the lights on for 3 weeks. I never did that and things turned out fine, so...

Retro kits work with an existing ballast. The ballast is what holds the light bulbs. SOOOO if you have lights now, you can retrofit it. A dual 55 watt power compact would be great. I think you can get one at ahsupply.com for around 120ish. I think

No you're right. I just assumed with the opening i see and the thing on the sand bed in the earlier pics it looked like a clam but now it looks like its climbing the glass. Or it learned how to magically swim......

It looks kind of like a clam. I have one, black and brown, growing in a shady recess of my rock. Looks like yours came out to play.

sggavin, looks like your ammonia/ph did the fish in. You need around a 8.2 ph and no ammonia. 7.8 wont hurt much in the short run but over time it can do some damage. I had the same problem happen to my fresh tank. Ammonia went high and the ph went low. Only 2 lone survivors and some happy...

If anything your fish dying helped the cycle.... :) If you can afford i would get another 20lbs in there soon. Once your tank has its initial cycle done you can't add uncured rock to your tank without the risk of spiking harmful levels and killing more fish. Well you could... maybe a 1lb or...

Some may die in your cycle anyways.....
