    Linear blenny nipping at SPS?

    I had a redlip blenny that I loved and he never bothered any sps. he was another victim of my murderous stone crab. Originally Posted by candycane I'm not to sure about this one. Most dwarf angels house the enzymes in their digestive tract to break down actual coral flesh. I don't know of a...

    Awhile back I had a 6-line and he bullied my blackcap basslet until the basslet finally stood up for himself.... no more 6-line.

    New pearlberry as well as some other pics

    Very nice!! The Pearlberry is one of my favorite ORA! And that is some amazing growth on the digi. Nice work! My purple digi seems to be a slow grower compared to what most people see with their digis.

    Id Please!!!

    cant tell on the hydno till it grow more. the second looks so damn familiar, but I couldnt find it when I was looking for it. I think live aquaria has had some that are like it in the past, but not right now.

    Deep water ID:

    Heres another pic of Caroliniana. Mine looks much like this. Muricata is more of a type of staghorn, it doesnt have the smooth look of the deep waters.

    20 gallon long sump??

    I have a 20L as a sump/fuge for my 65g and it looks very similar to that (well about 2.5yrs older looking lol) Butit should be plenty. I think the general idea is sump/fuge to be 1/3 the size of DT, but its not undersized. A 30g wont fit under a 48" stand? Edit: Also, Id add another baffle...

    Min tank size for a foxface?

    I have a 2" foxface in my 65. He is one happy little guy. My LFS seems to always get small ones. But he will get bigger and I will be upgrading to a 180-210 at some point in the future. So if you dont ever have plans to upgrade, I would stay away. But if you can find a small one and you plan...

    Help ! New Octopus 200 !

    just let it keep running. There is a film that needs to build up on the inside and it may look like it isnt going to fill the cup at all but over time it will. If you are able to adjust it, just watch it closely, because once it does break in some, it could overflow. I dont have personal...

    What do I need to buy for reef tank?

    definitely skip all those additives for now. You need to go through the cycle for a few weeks at least and certainly no additives are necessary during that time. (if ever). Id second the recommendation for Salifert test kits. They are available on this site. You need Ammonia, Nitrite...

    Really want to start keeping SPS, equipment?

    Sounds like you are going in the right direction just with what you have now. Starting with something easy like a monti cap or encrusting monti is a good choice. Your lighting sounds a little hodge-podge (no offense) but I believe it will still be fine for sps assuming that the t-5 is...
