Hello, I hope I do this right. Havent really used photobucket before to post a picture. I could use an ID on these anemones. It was the closest pic I could take with my camera. These came on a piece of LR I got. I have a feeling I know what they are but thought I would see if anyone else...

I have a 200G system running without a protein skimmer. 150lbs LR and 250LBs LS. I seem to be at the bioload limit with what I have. About 7 fish. Nothing large sized yet although I do have a 3.5 inch Orange Shoulder tang that has some growing to do. My question is if I were to add a protein...

I would suggest looking over in the Nano Tanks section on these boards. That should give you a pretty good idea of what tanks other folks are using and also provide more specific detailed information about equipment you can use.

It would be worth investing this reading you gave. kh 19 If I remember correctly once you get a kh over 12 then you are starting to get on the high side. So at a reading of 19 you would be way high. I try to maintain mine at 10. When it gets as low as about 7 then my anemones tell me so...

I would also add they are known to eat feather dusters. I had one once and he wasnt in the tank more than 5 minutes and he ate every small feather duster I had. He also tried to eat some snails once too when I put them in. He was eating out of my hand at that point so I guess he thought they...

Thats a great pic! I love how you got both clowns in it at the same time. Did the clowns come with the anemone? If they didnt how long did you have the anemone in the tank before they hosted it?

Originally Posted by natclanwy It will depend on the temperment of the fish all your list is pretty reef safe except for the Copper band and the Flame angel both of which may nip at soft coral but they might not also. I have seen both kept successfully in reef tanks but I have heard of both of...

Originally Posted by findingnemo2 No, my tank is not drilled, thats why I am excited about the over flows I have seen on here made of pvc pipe. The tank I have is a 20 gallon long. It was given to me,it already has baffles and all. Sounds like the mag is a good deal then, I just wish I could...

Originally Posted by findingnemo2 Ok, you guys have inspired me! I want to make an overflow for my 110 tank. I am wondering do I need two or just one? This is a reef setup. Also, I want to use the one inch pvc pipe for it or them and was wondering if two are necessay? What size pump and brand...

I cant believe I just found this thread now. Excellent work SCSI. I sure wish I had your patience. Having had the tank since back in December and just getting to a point where it is all up and running. Again, Awesome job and I cant wait to see the pics for when you are up and running. As a...

Excellent job! It is easy to tell you spent a considerable amount of time planning it out. I love the way you will have to walk around it as well as you enter the house. Guests will notice it right off the bat.

I just purchased a Fluval 405 canister filter in the hopes it could help me with a filtration issue I am having. I will be having a pretty major surgery coming up and wanted to get something that didnt require too much maintenance. My plan was to install it under my tank and install it to go...

Originally Posted by -- cola I am not too interested in having a Seahorse tank, thanks for the suggestion though. Maybe a lot of smaller fish instead of large ones? Yes, you will want smaller sized fish. Aim for fish that do not do a lot of swimming. Clowns, various chromis, etc. Another...
