    Stocking Question?

    I respect it, but don't like it bein shoved down me throught. So 2" over...well...with the UV light and the remora pro skimmer with the penguin wet/dry filtration it shouldn't make too big a problem. As far as the LR goes check out the post I just put on the reef forum about lbs per gallon...

    Stocking Question?

    I am suprised about how territorial everyone says YT's are. The YT was the first fish I added to my 60g. About a month later I added two small percs. There have been no territorial battles between the percs and the YT at all. The YT I added at the end of month 1 and the percs and the end...

    60 gallon tank need some help.

    What kind of subsrate did you use crushed coral or sand? I turned to sand on my 60g after using c.c. in my 29 for a year or 2. The sand looks better but we'll see if it makes any differance on nitrates. I would certainly invest in a good skimmer on that size tank...In my opinion skimmers...
