really....i din't know that...thanks Brad

you have to by plugs and cut plexiglass and hassle with getting more plugs and plexiglass if (when) it breaks..also inhibits flow (plexiglass in way)......using live rock rubble and eggrate gets maximum flow and the frags seem to encrust faster

an elkhorn is a digitata isn't it??? also basically most sps grow fast......in any species you should get 1/2" to 2" every month........the only species i have had that hasn't gorn that much is pocillopora

its a hit and miss.......one of the guys i know has this gorgous Potters Angel (in same family as flame..if you have seen one you know how sweet they are) and he nips at monti's.....but this could because i pseudochromis stops him from eating (he got rid of the pseudo)....but i also know ppl...

oh and i wouldn't do the garf method, egg crate works a whole lot better...and there is really no bad bacteria that can grow there (or really in many places in your tank, inless you have a dsb) Brad

in my frag tank (a 55g) I have half of it dedicated to chiller, skimmer (well i have 4 and one is about 5 feet tall) calcium reactor, return pump, ph controller, heater, and some other stuff......and the other side is all frags (sps) with about a turn over rate of 40....i have a 1/2 inch sand...

I am starting to clean my pumps every week.....any tips other than to disassemble and clean then run in fresh water Brad

sio (sp.) pumps work great for a frag tank

i would get 10k XM's....i have them right now and they are doing really good for color and growth Brad

yea thats what it seems is going to be the best way

I am buying 6X250w DE HQI for my 180g (72x24x24) I am going to get 3 10k and 3 20k should i arrange horizontally with the first light being 10k and the second being 20k or should i do it vertically with alternating (these are all being reflected by the PFO mini pendents) Horizontal ll ll...

i thought that would be the answer thanks

Are they easy to install and hook up or do you have to make sure they are perfectly tunned for your system???

euro-reefs aren't as efficient as i want...different skimmer styles (venturi, tunze, counter current) all give you differen't compounds that they extract so you get the max efficiency and the most diverse amount of pollutants taken care of

I am starting a 180gallon sps tank.....i am ordering 250 pounds of baserock and 250 pounds of sand.....do you think this should be good...? also i am setting up a 55 gallon sump (well it has dual 175w so it is a frag tank too).................has anyone here drilled throught the floor so it can...

i am in putnam county and i can drive anywhere in the state :D so anything would be helpful Thanks

I am probaly moving to New York (i don't want to but my parents are letting me set up 2 210 gallons that i am using to farm sps corals)................i was wondering if anyone new of an LFS that sell acropora and other sps corals Brad

yep....for a 40 i would use 2 or 3 maxi 1200...i would try to get the intervals as small as possible

yep it does and can live in your tank for a while (beth was right but alot of us have ich in our tanks that is dormant) and it is just waiting for your fish to get stressed during a water change or temp cahnge or something.(it can stay in a tank for severeal months..up to 8 i think) Brad

i would do water changes....if the amonia and nitrates spike they will kill things that you want in your tank like bang said........if you do a 50 percent the first 3 weeks than take it down to 25 percent for 3 weeks than do 10 percent and keep at 10 percent forever........also ppl make the...
