thanks. its been awhile since i posted here. been busy and all. i am slowly getting the itch back again. thinking of getting another and bigger tank soon.

enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlNHN0Fl6WE

no, the blue plus is meant to be a supplemental bulb. ur corals wont like it. u need two aquablue special out of the 4 for the corals.

sounds like pods. they r good food for fish and corals.

this site sells good corals and fish. i just wish the selection was bigger.

no backup plan for me either. when i had blackouts , i usually just stir the water evey 25 minutes and cover the tank with a blanket to prevent heat loss.

sorry to hear. now u can buy new fish again in 9 weeks!

reefgeek.com is a good place for t5 bulbs. their selection is awesome

probably too late to help you. i just light acclimate mine whether online or at lfs.

3-5 days if not longer. wont permanently fix the problem by shutting light off. could be too much nutrients and lack of good flow.

my lfs uses fishing line. i use a piece of toothpick; one end with crazyglue while the other end i just poke through the soft coral such as toadstool. over time, the corals will grow and cover up the toothpick.

having it in your tank isnt a bad thing as long as u harvest it every few weeks. i have some in some softie tank, and no other kind of algae is visibily present. caulerpa is one the best nutrient absorbing algae out there.

try the mexican turbo snails. reduce feeding as stated above. if this is a fairly new tank, its part of the cycle. try siphon it off during water change too.

very nice looking.

hanging is better. i am able to adjust the fixture up and down whenever i want.

u should be fine. they r really not hard to keep at all. i got mine from this site about 2 year ago. besides my clown, he is the king of the tank.

why are u using medication when acclimating? there isnt a need for it unless disease shows up during the qt process.

for a 55, u wont be able to add many fish down the road anyway. what fish do u have in mind down the road? adding a flame angel is fine as long as u have enough rocks for it to graze on.

u should try to hv some liverock in ur qt tank. just an empty tank with water isnt good. qt tank should mirror ur display tank as much as possible. acclimating 2-4 hours is a bit much imo especially if the fish is bought locally. i acclimate my fish in 30 minutes. the fish is stress already...
