Thanks for the tip Tizzo! I always wondered what that was.

Yellow tangs are herbivores. They will eat macro algae if you put it in the tank with them. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...ot_parent_id=4

Most of the information I've come across over websites and printed literature indicates a 20 is an acceptable size for a bimac . . . just make sure you are getting a bimac.

Frosty, What are you looking for or looking to trade? I was the one you sent to in the Thermos swap your planned out about 2 months ago. Thanks for the beautiful zoos! Mike

I was going to recommend the same fixture. I've seen it available through several online retailers as well.

and some green striped:

Here are some of my reds:

I've heard of the astro-turf trick and was thinking of going that route. The tank I'd be using isn't pre-drilled, so I couldn't easily do a sump. I was thinking of making some sort of fine mesh that the return water from the skimmer would pass through, but wouldn't allow for an escape.

I realize this is an old thread, but there aren't too many threads pertaining to octopi. If any of you who have one could share some advice I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm thinking of setting up a new tank specifically for a bimac. The problem I'm having is figuring out how to both run a...

It is recommended to have 20x water turnover in a reef tank. Seahorses, on the other hand, need very low flow. I doubt you'll have much luck. Why not add a refugium and put the seahorses in there? They'd do well in a 20 high.

I'm interested too. Can you email me the price and specs of the lighting. Thanks, mbrands@cox.net
