    What will survive under 2 wpg?

    All right, I am offended about all of the NO lighting bashing going on. (only kidding, but I think some under estimate what you can do with NO lighting). I barely have 2 watts per gallon on my 55. My signature has a list of corals that I have. I think I have a pretty good reef tank that is...

    Emerald crabs.....hmmmm....

    Emerald Crabs are algae eaters but they eat the nusiance kind. They will get the hard-to-get algae off your LR but shouldleave the coraline alone. They also help spread coraline algae by releasing spores from the coraline algae as they eat.

    Sounds normal to me. That is how mine have acted in the past when I had them. They are more active after the lights go out. You might try using a flashlight and look around after the lights go out.

    blue or red leg crabs?

    I have been more pleased wit the redlegged than bluelegged. The redlegged seem to work harder. I haven't had any problem with the blues because they are about half the size of the reds.

    Clean Up Crew?

    I recntly puchased some red-legged hermits and some Cenith Snails. I have been really impressed with these. The crabs have been constantly doing their thing on the LR and sandbed. The Cenith Snails have been doing a good job with the sand bed. They will climb on the glass also. I currently have...

    any corals that will live in 2 wattspg

    I agree with slick with the exception of a Rock Anemonie. I have had one in my tank for three years and it has done well. However, the bubble tips and other anemonies do not do well with my type of lighting. Unfortunatly I learned the hard way. I bought a BTA and needless to say it didn't last...

    any corals that will live in 2 wattspg

    Check out my website link. My tank has barely over 2 watts per gallon. Although you will have probably started a debate about the watts/gallon rule. Most think it is not an accurate way to determine the proper amount of lighting.

Rgarding Rock Anemonie, It has been on that rock for about two years. They do not move and they are very hardy. However, they are not clown hosting anemonies. SWF.com...

    How to clean out external fluval?

    I don't use sponges in mine. I run Seachem's DeNitrate and Phosgard and use it for the spray bar water circulation. Sometimes I run carbon. My LR and DSB seems to do a good job producing bacteria for the tank. Every three months I chang everything in the canister filter.

    The green ones do not need direct feeding. I use phytoplanktin and Coral-Vital in the tank.

    I have always known them as neon green striped mushrooms. The camera is a Kodak DC 280 Zoom Digital Camera. 2.0 Megapixel. I use Adobe Photodeluxe Business Edition to size and enhance the photos.
