i have a pinkish bubble coral. i keep it a few inches from the bottom of a 30" deep tank with 1 HQI 150W MH and 2 65w actinics. medium flow. very rarely ever closes up. will change form though at night. im not at home so cant post a pic yet. i have only fed it directly once (when i first...

i had no problem paying the $9 a lb plus i was able to hand pick the stuff from hundreds of lbs of it. that, i would not be able to do ordering on line. its crazy how addicting this is. my wife is starting to give me crap about the amount of time i spend with it....this weekend, a guy who...

what about the sea urchin going across it? i have no idea about those. but wasnt that a possiblity?

the price of rock is very market sensitive. around here, all stores sell base for around 4 to 5 a lb and good live rock for 8 to 12 a lb. seeing how this was the best rock i have seen, and the results of my tank....$9 was more than a good price in my market.

slant the first baffle / that way to keep micro bubbles from getting to other stages of fuge..

$9 a lb

ya know, i have been trying to figure out how everything has been going so well....i guess i should stop trying to figure it out and just enjoy it. the guy who set up the tank is insisting its the rock. every tank he sets up with this stuff has done outstandingly well, quickly. so thats all...

i have read that chaeto is better than calerpa, something to do with its sexuality....lol. try to slant your first baffle / that way, to cut down on micro bubbles going into fuge, they will stick to that slant. check the skimmer for recommendations for pump and return placement, some are...

i wouldn't do wet/dry, go with refugium. wet/dry becomes a bad thing after a while. the particles that build up over time in the balls becomes not good for the tank. you will have better results with a refugium with a sand bed of at least 6 inches (certain chemical reactions happen when...

she gonna wonder why in a few months he says....well babe, i cant afford to take you to dinner and a movie, you got me this fish tank and thats where all my money goes now.

picking your live rock is essential in your cycle times and water quality when first setting up. i have been flamed many times here for having as much as i have in my tank already (and for respect of the flamers, i am not saying it is ok for him to do the same). i had a coral specialist come...

any of you divers dive with nitrox?? sit times are much less with that stuff just have to watch max depths.

i will probably add more, piece by piece. i have been using this crazy awesome rock, primo indo pacific. its the key to my quick cycle and water conditions. thats the only rock i will use. tank is glass. fuge underneath is acrylic. got tank from 4fishtank dot com all bent glass aquariums.
