I just talk to a lady this week that had nice coral had a few nice fish had some nice inverts in a 180gal tank. I keep saying had because her sea apple was sucked into her over flow died and nuked her whole system. She had to start all over again. I'm also glad to hear your LFS gave you a heads...

I could kick myself this pass April I had a chance to get some dendros at $10.00 a polyp and didn't jump on it. I do how ever have Sun polyps and they do come out when I feed the tank.

I have a few Leathers but the tank is mostly SPS' & LPS' About 3 days ago I moved a big finger leather from one side of the tank to the other and none of my leathers have opens since. On the 2nd day I changed the carbon in my phosban reactor and did about a 13gal water change did water test no...

Make sure you don't have a heater stuck on. MH get a rap as long as you have fans between the tank and lights to move the hot air you'll be O.K. I have 2 400watt 20k's over a 90gal. and my tank may get to 80.9 even with the Summer heat.

A friend of mine just called me and said over the past Month he has lost 3 Angels and 2 clown Goby's and a Cleaner Shrimp. What I don't understand is all water levels are good. NH4-0 NO3-0 NO2-0 PH-8.3 ALK-12.8 CAL-450 MAG-1350 Temp-79.2 SG-1.027 It's a heavily stocked(coral) 125gal soft reef...

Originally Posted by jackri If you can get it to come out with the lights on you're lucky as it makes it easy to feed. Mine would only come out hours after my bed time -- and then all the shrimp would steal the food anyways. Love the coral but was extremely hard for me to feed until it was too...

Out of all the coral that I have had in the pass, I have never had a Sun Coral. So I got one today. I know they don't live off photosynthesis and you have to feed them a few times a week. Rightnow I have them in a cave. My question is do they have to be out of the light? Or are they doomed to a...

You did give yourself time to build a sound bio filter. It would have been best to let your ammonia and nitrites reach 0 before you begain to add live stock. Still seeing ammonia and nitrites means your tank didn't fully cycle. As far as the clowns go even though they a hardy fish they will not...

Does anybody know what the differences is between High Pressure Sodium lighting and Metal Halide?

Can you add pics? Somebody could help more if we had a idea of what they are.

First welcome aboard. If you don't have anything in the tank rightnow that would only make a meal of the pods, it would be O.K. just to dump them in your tank. but after you add the dragonet you need to watch and make sure it is getting enough to eat. Remember for the most part that is all it...
