Hiya, Bang...does this mean I need to turn them upside down again? Wish the camera was working, pictures would probably help. I've seen mushrooms in my LFS and they don't look like them, is there a picture I can see? These guess don't have any trunk, they do lie flat against the rock, and look...

Hiya, I just set up my 37 gallon eclipse and there's a kit you can buy to retrofit the hood so it can be used as a reef tank. I don't know if you can get it for a 29 gallon though. I'd ask your LFS. Meadbhb

Hiya, There's a black headed wrasse, body is purple, at my LFS. Absolutely gorgious...and expensive! It comes from the red sea, so I think they told me it would run about $60. Meadbhb

Hiya, My LFS told me to wait until the tank has cycled. Until then, there really isn't anything in the tank to tank out. Meadbhb

Hiya, Before you jump to conclusions, no, I haven't bought anything to put in my tank....I'm still waiting for it to cycle. However, last night, as I was studying the tank for new life, which there is plenty! I realized, I hadn't looked under the rock for life. Well, I found what looks like...

Hiya, Autopiolet....the tanks only been running for 2 days. I'm afraid to add any live animals to the tank right now. The LR I got was stuff a guy brought to my LFS because he had to move. The stuffs been there for several months. It had/has nice coraline algea on some of it. Some of the...

Hiya, Thanks guys! Don't you have to feed the Joe's Juice to them? These guys are so small I don't think I could get it into them. They're not much bigger then a pin. Oooh, another Arkansan! Do you live near Little Rock? Can you suggest any good stores? Right now, I'm using Paradise Pets...

Hiya, Well the tanks been running for 2 days now. Me and the hubby, surprise-surprise, spent about 15 minutes looking for stuff on the LR. Yeah, I know, probably to early. However, we both discovered some of those little pest anenomies on one of the LR's. Hubby says let them go...I say no...

Hiya, I bought one that sticks to the side of my glass. I've had it for two days....absolutely NO reading, and I know the temp in the tank has changed. It went from freezing cold, to nice and warm. I'm hoping not TOO warm. I'm going to have to relook into a digital. My LFS didn't have any...

Hiya, Thanks...this is a new tank. I've put 40lbs of base rock and 25lbs of LR. Now....if I can just keep my hands out of the tank so things will settle! Meadbhb

Hiya, I'm ready to start laying out my base rock and LR. Is it better to put all the base rock on the bottom with the LR on top of it, or mix it up? I want to give the base rock the best chance to pick up stuff from my live rock as possible. Meadbhb

Hiya, Wish I'd read this before I started. Oh, well, by morning the sand storm will have passed. Then I get to play with my rock! :happy: Meadbhb

Hiya, Instead of starting this thread anew, thought I'd jump in with a question. If I choose to leave my lights on to help stimulate my LR, how many hours should I do so? This will be a new set up that hasn't cycled yet. Meadbhb

Hiya, Was out of town this weekend, so won't get to set up until tomorrow. Thanks for the info on the skimmer and filter set up times. Hubby was happy to know he'll have a few more days of quiet. Meadbhb

Hiya, Hey...that's the same system I'm about to set up! We can learn together! I have read that this system won't handle anemomies unless you get some special lights. Can't remember the name's right now. However there is a retro fit kit to convert it to a compact light that will allow you to...

Hiya, This may seem like a really basic question, but I was wondering what's the best way to set up a reef. substrate, water, rock? Do I run the filter and protien skimmer during set up? Wait a day so that everything settles, or after I have it set up? Thanks! :happyfish

Hiya, So...it is possible to get a manderin after my tank has been set up for a while? That would be nice! Can I add the manderin after I put in some green and/or blue cromis? Sigh...excuse my spelling, it really is bad.

Hiya, My boss is going to kill me....I should be doing this at work, but we're slow!!! Gotcha on the themometor. I'm not sure I'm going to need a heater. I was told that this lighting system puts off enough heat that I may actually have to drill holes in the hood to vent it. I'll have the...

Morning! Digital themometer? How does this work? I use one to test the formula on my bird formula, but I can't see sticking something like this into my tank to take the temp. I'm going to use the cocktail method to help cycle my tank. One of my LFS people hadn't heard of this method, but was...

Hiya, Thanks for the welcome. Ahhhh, no mandarin? I LOVE these guys! They're the one reason that I caved and went with saltwater. So, how do I get more pods in my tank? Can I buy an aquacultured fish that was fed on frozen stuff? Thanks for letting me know it was most agressive last, I...
