So your tank has been running fine since December, no problems, then all of a sudden one day it is cloudy? Is that right? What kind of filter are you using? How long since you rinsed some of the filter media and/or rinsed off any foam mechanical filtration?

Originally posted by jesatfis 1 aqua clear powerhead 901 (2 at latter date) an airpump with long stone I'd use 3 or 4 powerheads in a tank that size. They don't all need to be the size of a 901. You want some current in all parts of the tank (no dead spots), not a hurricane force in one...

Niger Triggers are supposed to be the least aggressive. That being said least aggressive doesn't mean you won't have issues with them when they get bigger. I've always heard to add flame angels last. They can get territorrial and mean.

Originally posted by dalerich The lights are not the true color of a coralife but the anemone still does not know the difference. The difference would be that the Jebo isn't at the wavelength of a Coralife and thus wouldn't penetrate as deep into the water.

What kind of fish are you planning to keep? Larger predators will enjoy the nice meal that a cleaner crew make.

You need to post a lot more information to get help. When did you last test your water? What were the readings? How long has the tank been set up? Can you post a picture? Have you tried running carbon? What is in your tank (LR, fish, inverts, corals)? :D

If you've never used chemicals, why are you thinking of starting now?

Actually, with your reply I re-read your posting. That lighting only puts you at about 4 watts/gallon. Now I'm thinking that might not be enough. Hopefully someone who has an anemone will respond and give you a definite answer.

Originally posted by puffer32 I would like to have moonlights but some don't have them with the strips, any ideas on how to put them on your tank if you buy them seperate later on? My LFS sells a seperate moon light that can be added to any size tank. I didn't get a brand name, but if the...

Originally posted by stevedsona 65 watt 10,000K Is this light PC? I would think that is plenty of light in a 29 for keeping an anemone.

Thats a lot of questions for one posting, but I'll do my best to answer them all for you. 1. Yes, it is worth the trouble! I had CC in my 55 for about a month and was shocked at the nasty gung that had already accumulated. 2. I did mine in increments. I took about 1/4-1/5 of the CC out per...

Sounds like corraline algae. Its a good thing!

Plenty of people have FOWLR (fish only with live rock). Yes, fish are more forgiving to imperfect water conditions than corals so it is easier to keep them.

Definitely too much! You should remove half and send it to me. I'll take care of it for you. :D

Originally posted by jeffro63 Now all I gotta do is find a lfs that has one for sale. Try online retailers. I found mine for $160 including shipping, but you might find a better price. A famous auction site has quite a few with decent "buy it now" prices. You won't regret getting...

Originally posted by Willie_6 We are appoaching the 24 hr. mark. So all is well. What do you mean by 24 hour mark? Has your tank even cycled yet??

Originally posted by tomekpalar 1. I was thinking of purchasing a porcupine puffer, what are some disadvantages and should I be concerned about my other fish(Tangs, damsels and clown)? Are they venemous harmful? No, they are not venemous. Definitely research any fish before your make your...

Originally posted by 1journeyman you might need another hobby... :yes:

When I cured mine from an online retailer I didn't do a water change, but my readings were 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 10 nitrate after 2 weeks.

Wow! I'd never heard of no filter with no live rock. Also, what I've read and heard said you likely need a DSB to run filterless. Thanks for the post BangGuy! I've been debating going filterless in the near future and you've given me hope. :D
