If you think they are bad, take them all out. HAHAHAHA, Good luck trying! If you see 1, there are 100's in there. I'm going to order a whole bag of them from SWF.com and just dump them in my tank.

Don't put it over the center piece on the top of the tank. It'll melt off so fast.

FREE BUFFET! (not much selection though)

You have some awesome LR in there. You're going all out for a first reef tank. If you're dedicated enough to design that setup I'm guessing you'll be a dedicated reef keeper. I bought a 265, sold it because it was too big. WAY TOO BIG. I have a 75 now and still with I was running a smaller tank.

Do you think having a bucket like that would make much difference? You are doing that for anaerobic respiration to decrease nitrates correct? I'm missing something. I can understand running a plenum in the bucket with larger grain substrate but if water is just flowing in from the top then out...

If you look at your entire setup you can figure out pretty close the kilowatts you use per day. Then just look at your bill and what you pay per kilowatt. Then you either say 'Hey that's not too bad' or you start to get sick and say 'Oh my god, I better not let the wife know about this.'

That tank is going to look ridiculous once all those frags really start growing. Won't that overgrow fast with so many frags?

Because it's only for a 20 gallon I bet you could make one out of a coke bottle and a little maxi jet. It'd be a good one to try. I've drawn up plans before. It'd work.

Any body read the 2007 annual Marine and Reef USA? There was a good focus on seahorse breading. Check it out!

Nice man. I'll agree too. I love small tanks. I'm jealous of the frag tank. I feel like just turning my 75 into a prorogation tank but that would be a waste.

Just have someone cut it for you. Use a piece of cardboard to make a template. Then cut holes for feeding, powerhead cords, finger holes, etc. Then just take it to a glass place in town and have them cut it out for you. As far as the good/bad argument: If you have a good place for gas exchange...

An anemone needs to go where it wants. The best way to keep it in one place is to make it happy where you want it. If it is unhappy it will relocate. An anemone on the move is not a good thing. Once it finds a great place with the flow and light it desires it will stay put. I would like to put...

A lion fish? It disappeared? I doubt a mantis shrimp would be your problem there. How the hell do you loose a fish that big?

HAHA, this is great. Thanks.

Bellebelle, I'm serious too that if you get that little guy out I'll take it. I want a mantis but have just been waiting to find one. Seems like they are found often enough.

I have watched videos and done plenty of reading but it's the negative advice that keeps me from taking scissors to a polyp. Who has done it. Give me some confidence!

I have never had to deal with a mantis shrimp but I would suggest getting prepared to pull everything out. I think you can get them in traps but they are pretty smart from what I hear. Is it living in a rock? Pull that rock out and you can flush them out with a little fresh water or carbonated...

Well they don't have buch for lighting. And if they do they don't do a very good job at showing it.

The only answer people ever give on this site is to get MH's. I am going to get them but can't afford them now. I already have the 96w lights. So my question is what should I get in the mean time to get the tank up and running. Should I get 50/50, daylights, actinics? What do you think I should...

I have two coralife ballasts that will each support two 96watt lights. I am setting up a brand new 75 gallon. I want to start out with some easier things such as zooz and mushrooms then move into some easier sps and whatever else I can do. What bulbs should I buy for these? I have the ability to...
