If having a reef tank with peaceful fish, does the yellow tang have to go in last? Does it matter if buying the tang small? Tank currently has two perc clowns, one who is under 1". Not sure what else would go in besides the tang, but not anything more than a fish or two. If I buy the tang...

I thought of something like that also. I was trying to come up with a few ideas on how to have it enclosed so you couldn't see the lighting unit. I'll have the back of the hood open or at least partially open for the skimmer and such. Anyone else want to through and idea out there?

I bought a JBJ 4X65 formosa light set for my 55. I've been looking for some different ideas on how to build a hood that this whole assembly would fit into. I have a few ideas but was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to build a hood to hold these lights. TIA

Prizm skimmers aren't that bad. They produce about the same amount of noise as a seaclone, at least mine does. They are actually easier to adjust than a seaclone, but don't work as well IMO. Both are a decent skimmer for tanks 55 and smaller for the price. As with anything though, you get...

I'm interested in this also. Anyone have any comments on it?

bump

Anyone have one? Likes, dislikes? Overall thought on the animal? Any comments at all? I've read they are a low to medium light coral that needs feeding about once a week. Low to moderate water flow. I got a steal on a really nice one last week for $50. I really like it, but I haven't seen...

Sounds like you have it covered. The fish are probably really stressed the way it is, so don't be surprised if they don't make it. But you might as well try, free tank, and trying to save the fish is better than watching them go down the toilet. Good Luck.

With the pickling lime solution you only need to spray it on them and they will die. If you're using Kalkwasser then you need to inject them.

Based on your descriptions, I would say it is the starfish. I saw it on the rocks. I went to get my book to try and I.D. it and it was gone. I haven't ever seen it before, and it wasn't by my corals, so I'll just hope it's a nice one. Thanks.

I saw a pure white star the other day in my tank. He was small, not even 1/2 inch accross. What do you think it is, and is it reef safe? Also, this is the first time I have seen him, and I haven't added any LR in 4 months.

Pet Expo in Mankato as a good selection, but the people around here end up going to the twin cities for a different selection as well. I have heard good things about A World of Fish over by the mega mall.

My false perc goes after me whenever I put my hand in the tank. He got my fiance' real good the other day, left marks on her hand. It doesn't hurt, just startles you if your not ready for it. I think it's kind of funny actually.

I posted a thread a week or so ago about my colt coral not staying open past 5. There was some discussion on whether it was still acclimating or if it just didn't need over 10 hours of light. Some of the posters that contributed to that thread asked that I post again to say what has happened...

I have just started using garlic when feeding. What I have been doing is cutting up a chunk of garlic and mixing it with food, and tank water, then let it sit in the fridge overnight. I then pull out the garlic chunks, let it warm to room temp, and dump in. My question is, is it bad or...

Started using DT's a couple months ago. Once I started using it I noticed a much faster growth rate on all of my corals. Might be some other reason, but that is all that I changed.

Pajama cardinal is a cool fish. Peaceful, always up in the water column. false percs are always entertaining. Firefish are always a hit, or you could try a royal gramma. Clown gobies stay very small and are an interesting fish IMO. Obviously you wouldn't want all of these, but there are...

Also, depending on how many crabs you have they can make quick work out of a dead fish. I had a little yellow clown goby die in a part of the tank that I would have had to tear the whole thing apart to get at. A couple hours later all the crabs, bumble bee snails, and nessarious (sp?) snails...

I have the 25G model. I cut a hole in the side for a Seaclone skimmer. I haven't had any problems with it. I still have the biowheel in there and run the carbon catridges also. I have a DSB and 35 lbs of LR, havne't had any water quality problems in mine.
