OK I did that but it seems like it would be hard to make cave like feautres without the entire thing collapsing. i thought it would have a putty like consistancy to mold shapes that i want. I would like a few caves that are like giant socks (open on one end and about 6 inches deep. that would...

I cant find info on it, but I've heard from some customers at workt hat they used some kind of concrete and aragamax to make base rock. Is this cheaper than buying Lace rock? Has anyone here done this? I am asking because I am upgrading my tank and dont want to buy another 100 lbs of str8 LR...

My independant research has told me that bartlett's, sunburst, squareback, and sometimes disbar anthias are the best choice for reefs, but squares get too big and i've heard that sunbursts are definitely finicky eaters. I just wanted to know if anyone else had them in reef systems?

we had one at work host in a pink tip ONCE. Id say it might happen but dont count on it :)

I think a 12 is plenty of room for 2 percs, just dont add more than one more small goby-type fish if anything else. Id get about 10 lbs of live rock up to 50 lbs depending on density of what you get. 20 would be nice, btu ive tried doing that an it doesnt all fit

I've heard that potter's are like goniapora in a way. they tend to do well then suddenly and abruptly turn for the worse, prolly from poor diet or something. Personally I am going to the the potters. it will have nothing to compete for food (pods) and i have a rather healthy patch of algae of...

Which anthias are best suited to a 125 with about 400 watts PC? I hear that they dont like bright lights

I am gonna vote for a marine betta. I like them lots :)

Yea I was wondering about that. Right now i have 30-40 blue leg hermits, a few sally light foots and a pair of true percs. Right now I feed the tank a sanfran brand cube of HUFA brine, plankton, or mysis 3-4 times a week and dose my coral feeders once a week. Am I over feeding and causing...

I have had trouble with hair algae for a few weeks now alluva sudden. It seems like I see pods all over non stop even in day time now. I even see groups on the glass. The kind thay I have 6 or 8 legs and body is just an oval. These arent the bad kind of amphipod right? they dont look scary...

I have these 2 sponges that are growing like crazy in my tank that i didnt see uintil about a month ago. One is as white as white comes and grows all brinchy like antlers. I accidently knocked pieces off when moving rockwork a few weeks ago and those became new ones growing just as fast. The...

Is it usually neccessary to superglue in addition to bridal veil? I did some fragging about a week ago and most are recovering, but i dont think anything are actually attached, but most are showing growth patterns and healing. ideas?

I was asking because a friend has a light that I havent disected which is a "metal halide" lamp for working in the dark etc. im sure that the bubl in it produces the wrong kind of light, but can i put a good bulb in is my question :)

kip did you make that up? those words look fake ;-)

I am not sure ive never seen the socket for halide bulbs....do the "swivel" like a regular bulb? are the like a PC bulb and push in?

Heres the bottom line. I am going to be upgrading to a 125 and will need new lights. My 55 runs 4x65 watt PC bulbs and for the stuff I have and want to get in the 125 it works GREAT. I've been toying with the idea of upgrading to halides, but im a poor college student and here are my 3...

I think the far majority of SPS would be a bad idea, I've tried them under good amounts of PC and they still STN or RTN in my tank.

IMO you can easily house 2-3 small fish like firefish, chromis, gobies etc etc. just go slow, dont get over zealous, and u might as well start saving for the upgrade now:cool:

im fairly certain that they dont eat algae and actually eat slimes sponges and such from your rock. Subsequently, you need a lot of rock to keep them happy. Good Luck, Justin

As far as 2 tangs go, id get 2 with different bopdy shapes. purple and sailfin are the same. If you must get another, try a hippo or one with similar body shape
