Hey! I am probably going to go buy some lr today...not the full amount, just some. I had a couple questions, If I buy the lr and it is currently in a tank with plants/coralline growing, and if I take it home in a bucket of sea water, will I need to cure it? I live about 15 min away from the...

Hi. I don't know much about sumps or refugiums, but I was thinking about getting a reef sometime in the future, so why not start learning now? I have an extra tank, 10 gallon, that would fit under my show tank, 46-gallon. Would this refugium/sump be large enough for my tank? If so, if you have...

Well, I wouldn't say I am bent on keeping damsels, I just really like that they are hardy, active, and colorful...the only setback is aggression. The tank is a 46-gallon and has been set up for 1 3/4 years. I would like to find some good canidates for my tank, does anyone have suggestions? If...

That sounds awesome! Sorry, when I said money, I meant value...i.e. 1 damsel etc... Ok, well I'll get in touch with you if I find a mantis shrimp! -Ace

Hi! I have a 46-gallon bow front tank. I have a fowlr right now, but I know in the future I will become interested in reef tanks. I do not have much room under the tank, but if I move all of the supplies to a nearby cuboard, I will have room for a small refugium. How small at the minimum should...

Oh, CELACANTHr, how much would you pay for a mantis shrimp? (just in case I come across one :thinking: ) And, if you don't mind, why would you want one? I know some people have designated mantis tanks (which, I would do if I was up to it, with mantis becuase harmful and all, becuase they are so...

I'm sorry, I do not have any mantis shrimp or pistol shrimp at the moment, but I am buying Lr soon and wanted to know whether to keep pistol shrimp or not. Thanks for the information! Here is an article (I did not write it) about Mantis Shrimp Vs. Pistol shrimp: # At the very basic level, the...

oh, ok...Well I knew mantis shrimp were a problem, but I thought people got rid of pistol shrimp becuase of their annoying clicking at night. Maybe I was mistaken... -Ace

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with Fiji. I can't get much info on the Caribbean. I have a 46-gallon tank so I'm ordering 45 lbs. of fiji and then I might top it off with handpicked caribbean lr pieces. -Ace

I thought that Pistol Shrimp were bad hitchhikers that you could get from live rock, but alot of people have been talking about there goby/pistol shrimp pairs. Are these two different species with the same common name, or are the "bad" pistol shrimp and "good" pistol shrimp? -Ace

Hey, I can't decide whether to get Caribbean Lr or Fiji Lr... I think Caribbean is gorgeous, but it looks like it would be a pain to clean. Please post pics of Carib live rock if you have any! -Ace

ok, thanks! (will they eventually move if they need more lighting? depending on species) -Ace

What lighting are you using? You have awesome coraline! How large is your tank? Are you planning on adding more fish? Awesome job! :cheer: -Ace

Yeah, I can't have a reef if you need all the fancy stuff b-c I don't have room for anything! -Ace

Yes, I know I don't NEED the MH, but as wax32 said, I want to be able to have very flourishing corals and be able to have sps or clams later on. -Ace

I was planning on doing this...is it not ok? -Ace

I am soon buying an MH lighting system and here is the list of corals that I am interested in: Frag of Green and brown srtiped candy cane. Average frag is 2 inches with 2 or 3 heads. Frag of Fire and Ice Zoanthids. Average frag has 10-15 polyps on a small rock. 1 Green Velvet Mushroom on a small...
