I prefer twelve...anything less and it's just not a shrimp cocktail. Ok, that was dumb...but I amused myself at least!! As for the numbers, I think they should be fine, shrimp don't really produce too much bioload. What are the other inhabitants? But yeah, I'd take the cleaners over the...

I second taping a picture of clowns hosting an anemone to the side of the tank. It sounds silly but has been known to work for a number of people on this board. Maybe you could find a picture of clowns hosting in a condy...so they won't be more attracted to the picture of another luxurious...

Have your LFS cover the rock with wet newspaper...I find this always help when trying to prevent die-off. I think it might be kinda unlikely that they would send you home with four pounds of water, but you never know! As for the red slime algae and diatoms: this is pretty common to experience...

I agree with Scotts about the water changes. I generally don't do a water change while my tank is cycling for this reason: it may restart part of your cycle. So technically, you're just putting a halt to your cycle and starting off where you left off every time you do a water change. Hence...

Hey Beth, I'm wondering about your fresh seafood mix. What do you include and how do you prepare, store yours?? I too prepare a mixture of foods, but I'm curious what all of you pros use! :D

Wait a second...what exactly is the difference between the ballast and the pendant? Sorry...I'm a moron when it comes to this stuff!! :help:

Ok, so let me see if I'm understanding this right...get one dual 250 ballast...which holds two bulbs?? And then get two Mini Pendants with is as follows (website info): Reef Star Mini HQI Pendant Complete System - includes 250W 10000K double ended HQI bulb and PFO 150W HQI ballast with quick...

So how much would my total wattage be with that set up...750watts!? And is PFO the brand?

As in a canopy...won't that get too hot??

Those Arcadia lights are awesome! Do any of you know when they will be available in the US??

Well, I'm setting up my new 90 gallon reef ready and have planned to go MH. From what I've read, that seems like my best option with the corals I want to do. Question is, I'm confused about ballasts. When I search for MH products, I see a lot of sockets and stuff, without the ballasts. How...

Gixxer...where'd did you get your MH from?? And how much did they run you?? I've been looking for a nice MH/PC combo. :)

Hey Jauringer...I'm in Austin too! Your tank looks awesome. What LFS do you usually go to? Have you been to Austin Aquariums yet?? :joy:

Anyone know??

Poor little guy!! :nope:

I've heard that the 20,000K tend to be too blue. I'm not sure if this is accurate or not though...

I'm in the process of setting up my new 90 gallon Oceanic Reef ready. The tank is 24 inches deep. I'm planning on doing most corals and possibly clams. Any suggestions on lighting? I'm curious to see other people's experience with lighting and similar corals. I'm leaning towards metal...

Are you selling in portions?? I might be interested in the sand and live rock. What are you asking?? mistyd927@hotmail.com Thanks! :)

Yes, many are very, very small, like microscopic. You will see them grow over time, but they start out very tiny.

What type of lion is it? I gaurantee you that you will be able to find it somewhere online. And if your LFS doesn't know what type of lion it is...I think it's time to choose another LFS. I see that they've already given you a lot of misinformation. For example, that you must have the fish...
