I'll take the reef over any game.

Attach then to a piece of styrofoam and suspend them upside down. This prevents them being bounced around durring shipping. You also need to control the temp with heat packs and an insulated container. Another method is to wrap a plastic bag around the coral and place it in the shipping...

I bought my majestic angel from a guy in Sac, it was in a 300g reef. He sold him because it was feeding on his sps...he was in my 220g and I sold him because he took a liking to some of my corals and clams. Beautiful fish, but not reef safe.

If you are just trying to grow algae, I really don't know what their requirements are. Most of us use algae for nutrient up take and as a form of nutrient removal. As far as all of the additives go, I have found that they cause me more problems that benifits. I use regular water changes for my...

Depends on how you look at them. They will eat algae including coraline.

Just make sure that everything is stable. You don't want anything that likes to dig upsetting your rock work and have an avalanche in your aquarium.

Why would you want to? Phosphates are in almost everything that you put in the aquarium, like fish food. The general idea is to reduce phosphates with regular water changes. If you are looking to grow micro algaes away from a display tank you might experiment with it.

The sky is the limit. How big is your tank and your wallet?

I don't know much about LA, but there's a frag swap in Hayward on the 8th.

Norcal, Have you thought about the frag swap in Jan? I'm in Redding if you are interested. -Bill

Scoobydoo, Ain't that the truth!

The tanks have always been my thing. My wife and daughter are the ones with the 2 dogs, 2 cats and a macaw, all of which I also take care of.....all I wanted were my fish.

That's a monster sump. I would sell the 125 or have 2 displays and get something in the range of 40g's for a sump.

I bought the freeze dried and I let it soak for awhile. Then I use a syringe to feed my corals.

That's only 2 watts per gallon...pretty low.

Ground water is always low in dissolved oxygen and high in minerals. The DO isn't a problem, but minerals can be. I used well water with good results for awhile in Northern CA. Now I'm using RO/DI. I'm more comfortable with knowing what I'm putting into my tank.

They had a small female in SF's Stinehart Aquarium for a little while. They let it go after a couple of weeks.

Last question first; 1cu ft = 7.48 gallons or 1728 cu inches = 7.48 gallons, Your tank is approx 100 gallons. I reconmend that you use fresh water only to clean the inside of the tank. If you must you can use dish soap but make sure you rinse well. Do not use harsh chemicals that could leave a...

The MH lights at HomeDepot are 5k, they might be good for plants but, they are not prefered for coral. Most common bulb used by most reef aquarist is the 10k. Some people use the 20k's but it's too blue for my taste.
