This is wonderful hobby but what makes me the most upset is that we are destoying the real coral reefs. We take rocks coral and fish from their environment, and most of them WILL DIE sometime between shipping and when we introduce them into our aquarium. That there are INEXPERIENCED PEOPLE who...

Also the top of the coral is almost 6 inches wide. Adam

The polyps are usually more extended, up to about 1/2 and inch. That is an old pic but after i changed to different light bulbs the center of each polyp glows green. I feed mine krill, brine, and what ever else i have and it gets most of the fish food also. When i first got it I thought it...

I also have it but cannot get rid of it. I have tons of macro algae growing in the tank to hopefully use up the nutrients that the hair needs...but that doesnt work. Scarlet and blueleg hermits will not eat the hair. They usually eat the macro instead. I had success with emrald crabs but they...

Are you sure it is a flower pot. That is an old pic of the coral and since it has gotten larger. The base is about as big around as a quarter and then turns in to a large stony cup shape. Then it has all those polyps all over it. Flower pots i have read to be hard and do not live long and i have...

Hope this works. Adam

Sorry new to this picture thing. Ill try again in a moment. Adam

I have had this coral for at least two years and it has done very well. I have never been able to identify it but have found similar corals. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks Adam

My yellow watchman goby eats anything I offer, and he also sifts through the sand for food. Adam

Not that long in the newspaper there was an article on aquaculture at some college here in RI. They set up to breed percula clowns and i think it said it can take up to three years before they will start to breed. Is that true? or did i get mixed up with something else? Adam

Well I going to get a mh and vho hood but i can't now. :( My mom wouldnt let me spend the money. So i guess i will have to stay with my PC for a while longer. I am looking for a hardy coral for low light that will spread quikly. What corals will spread quick under 3.59 watts of power compact...

Ive always wanted to try this but was curious on how you heat it. How would you heat it or is the light and the pump in the filter enought to keep it at a good temp? Adam

Thanks. Im about $50 short. Ill have to wait a few weeks to order. My parents have already said yes, but that is becuase they dont know the price yet. That will take a while to get them to calm down also. Thanks again. Adam

Thanks. The hood listed above will hang off the front corners where it is curved just a little...but thats fine, cant find anything better. Thanks for the link Lurch694u ill look into it. **With a mh hood, how high should it be off the top of the aquarium? And Should i not use the glass...

When i said mh was out of the question i was meant the pendants...sorry for the confusion. My parents wont allow me to hang anything from the ceiling. Anyway. Is what i posted above, the mh/vho hood for $440, a good deal? Should i buy it or is it a waste? Adam

Is this a good deal? I found a 36" mh/vho hood for $440. It has 1 175w mh and 2 95w vho, fan cooled. and... Deluxe Aluminum Metal Halide and Super Actinics Systems have corrosion proof paint on the inside of the aluminum hood, UV stabilized absorbing lens, fan cooled and quick disconnects...

Thanks. How did you make your canopy. Did you just build a wooden box? How high do the lights have to be from the top of the tank and should i still use the glass cover? Oh also. How close can the lights be spaced together, and how many fans should i use? Adam

I have the 46 gallon bowfront aquarium and am having a hard time arranging the lights on top. What i have now works but i want to upgrade to vho from pc. Some of the pre made hoods will not fit and mh pendants are out of the question. Does anyone else have the 46? How are your lights...

We have too many boats. Our larger ones are: two crosby cats made around 1900, a 1957 Webbers Cove, and my brother has a six meter (sailboat) made sometime in the 1950's. They are great, the crosbies are being restored by my father and the other two are in the water. The Webbers cove is great...

I am finally going to upgrade to VHO from PC. It will add at least two more watts per gallon for my tank. Does anyone have pics from when your tank had pc lights and then when it was upgraded to vho? Thanks! Adam
