    I need help

    i have heard that adding too much amquel is worse for the tank than the ammonia. not sure if u add the stuff every day or just now cuz u saw the ammonia readings. all i am saying is dont add too much of the stuff. i agree about doing a water change asap. after that your reading might level...

    New Lights

    I just got the lights for my 20 long. 30x12x12. They are the Dual Satelites 130 Watt PCs. I was wondering if i could keep a monti cap under this lighting becasue the tank was so shallow. It would be about 6" from the lights. Also do you think it would grow if the water conditions and lights...

    OK, Lets hear the crazy combinations...

Lukily when she spent like 500 dollars on her corals he did not touch a single one. Whats wierd is that it is still alive and i have yet to see...

    Opinion

    i just bought the current 130 watt system for my 20 long which is 30x12x12. I was wondering if a monti cap frag could actually grow under this lighting if water quality was maintained. Also, would this lighting be too strong for rics, and other shrooms. also i was thinkin about having green...

    Okay, here it goes..........

    thank you for pointing this out. i too think about this alot when someone says that a 75 is barely big enough for a tang, but then the same people have 5 tangs in thier 150. Just wondering what the difference was. maybe someone can explain that to me. nothin we have is equivalent to the ocean.
