With very little LR, I would run at least the 400. I don't use Emperors on my reef, only the FW tanks,but several people do and are happy with them. After you get more lr , then you can remove the Emperors if you want. Make sure to keep the filter pads clean. Also, if you are concerned with...

Could be a long tentacled anemone. Never heard of a long tentacle CARPET anemone either. What color foot does it have. A long tentacle anemone usually has a red or orange base. My tangs always pick food out my LTA. They have a mild sting which doesn't hurt them. A carpet is another story. They...

I have pc's, and am satisfied with the appearance. Only problem with them is they break easy at the end, and I have had bad luck with them lasting more then 6mos. I don't know if it is caused from a ballast problem or if I just have bad luck. They are supposed to last 12 mos. Next tank will have...

I have a green carpet anemone, and would be a little concerned. Mine is agressive with a nasty sting. It has taken out 4 damsels and a hippo tang. They grow big. Mine is close to 14 inches across and still growing. From what I have read, bottom dwellers are especially prone to becoming a snack...

I've got about $2500 invested in a 150. Along way to go to get it how I want it, but slowly getting there. How depressing!

It is looking much better today. It is a wonder how they can recover from getting stung up, but can't handle ph swings or things along those lines. Well I learned a lesson and looks like the coral is fine.

Last night I pulled a real boner. I was cleaning the tank and doing a little rearranging. Well, I temporarily placed a very large bubble coral on a lr,then preceded to bump into it with my elbow. It fell bubbles down right into my 12- 14 in carpet anemone. After that ordeal, it closed up...

When using as top off for evaporation just dump it in. Supplements should be added when you test for it.

I would add 2- 175w or 2-250w in a 10k to the vho you already have and you should be set for most hard corals. Just make sure to put the lower light softies low in the tank and slowly acclimate them to the much brighter lights by only having the halides on for a few hours at first then slowly...

A few months ago I added 4 peppermint shrimp to my 150 to try to rid the tank of aptasia. In 3 days everyone was gone. Damn snowflake eel. I still had my aptasia and the snowflake had a full belly.:( Worse part about it, I knew it would happen, but thought,"Well, maybe...." Then I did the...

The suspense is killing me. Now I won't be able to sleep tonight.LOL I think this contest was a good idea and hope SWF does it again. The way I read it, the 50th "post" not person is the winner. I think I will let SWF determine who was the 50th post. Way too much deciphering this late at night...

What size tank do you have?

I am so excited

Looks like a colt coral to me.

I have 2 cats that are constantly leaping at the tanks. Wham! into the side of the glass they go , shake there heads and go at it again. Just hilarious to watch. The stands from the 2- 75 gal. fw are all clawed up. grr. One of the cats is always jumping on the glass tops of the fw tanks and...

Actually, I had a regal tang that would poop, and all the fish would go crazy eating it, including the regal. Gross!

I had the same thing happen to me. All the rest of my corals were doing great. I ended up pulling the toadstool out and putting him in a qt. He made a come back so I put him back into the display after a couple weeks and he started slumping and eventually died. The only difference in tank...

I have some halimeda in my tank that for the most part, the fish leave alone. I have a purple tang and and brown tang in there. They pick at it a little, but it grows slowly bigger. I had some grape caulerpa in also that the tangs left alone, but I pulled it out because they are so fast growing...

I have always just added them to the display and have never had a problem introducing a parasite. Just make sure you acclimate them slowly so they can adjust to different water conditions and don't put the water from the bag into the tank. I never used coral dip, maybe someone else can give some...
