I have 2 96 watt actinic power compact and 250 metal halide in my 65 gallon tank. I will look into frenzy or wild toe. What is the best way to use those products?? And try to use meaty foods correct?

Ok. Sound I be feeding it some plankton or somethign else. I know some people spot feed it with mysis and small pieces of shrimp. What about marine snow???

Hello everyone. I have a hammer coral that I would like to glue to something. It really has no base just the hammer coral and the bottom piece that is boney. I know I can use krazy glue but I dont want to glue it to a rock since all my rocks are big. I would like to glue it to a weight or some...

Flower why do you put a pinch of baking soda in your mix???

rJust go to a haedware store and get some good anchers that will be holding the weight straight down. I have use a set that were rated at almost 50 lbs. I would use 4 just to make sure. possibly one at each corner of the light. For metal halide I have read and heard minimun or atleast 6 inches...

You will need a good set of t5 and not just 2 bulbs or you can go with metal halide.

I have seen diffrent bread not have a problem together. But they were both small when they were put together.

Wow. I cant my bubble tip to move. Its in a hole looking cave. And I have tried everything to move it. Wish I had your problem.

So its been 2 days and my anemone is hiding in a cave looking hole. I can barely see it. And There isnt much light in there because I need a flashligh to see it in there. Do you guys think it will move any more. I know anemone need light. But in that hole it isnt get any. What should I do?

OK. I think I got it better now. Bang do you happen to have a picture of this on your tank? Just curious on how it looks.

Yes I would try to lower it. T5 dont produce much heat. So I would try to get it as close as possible without it getting in the way. I think 6-8 inches would be ideal.

I just bought this one unit less then a month ago. And I dont have money to buy a new light fixture. I will try to watch the plastic center brace. When it brakes or fails I will have to come up with another way to support the tank. Rope or a strap or something.

I agree that its there for a reason. The problem is that I have read that my metal halide could melt or brake that center piece. I have read not to place a metal halide over that piece. But I dont have a choice. They only sell single metal halide for my tank. And they all come in the middle. So...

I was wondering if there was a way to remove the Plastic center brace on my tank. Its runs across the tank in the center from the front to the back. I know they place it there for support. I am wondering is any has done it with success. Its a 65 gallon tank length across 36", front to back is...

Well what I do is I place a power head in my container mixing the water atleast 24 hours before I need it. But I have left it in the tank 2-3 days mixing with the power head and heater.

So I wake up this morning only to find my anemone all the way in this cave looking hole in the rock. You can barely see it. I know it will move around until it finds it sweet spot. But I am hoping this is not it. When the lights turn on I will post a pic.

So before I went to bed last night I deceided to direct a powerhead into the anemone. And it worked. It has moved about 4 inches away and is attached to a rock and not the plastic thing anymore. So I removed the plastic piece. I dont reallly like the location where its at. Its at the bottom of...

I am sure it would be more comfy on a nice rock in my tank. I can see its stretched out and reach around to face up... Meowzer I will give it a day or two. Then I will try the ice trick or to place it in front of a power head. On the ice trick. Do I place the ice on the foot? Do I place the ice...
