It's in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

This place is awesome, all of you guys should check it out. It's beautiful, educational, and large enough to house the animals in my opinion. they have something for everyone, pacu, piranna, peacock bass, cichlids, huge catfish, fw rays, dart frogs, four-eyed fish, mudskippers; a large...

What would the limits be? Could I keep pretty much everything light wise, or is it still not good enough(with my luck, probably the latter) and anyone on that price???

My 30gal. reef is now inhabited by beautiful rock, crabs, and 3 mushrooms. It has a 96watt 50/50 on it, by corallife. I want the inverts in my tank to thrive, and not be limited to mushrooms and non photosynthetics. I found a 250 watt metal halide setup for sale, 10k bulbs(no idea what the...

btw, kaotik, thanks for the input but So Cal is a bit far off, anyone who lives in the Southeast? (sorry, my fault, I didn't bother to mention vicinity, which won't matter too much if it's online)

oceania, have you seen what most black clowns look like? Their lines are slanted like this / / / What I mean by straight is that the top and bottom of the stripe line up vertically, like on percs and false percs, which are so similar in almost every way that it doesn't matter which is...

I used to have the most beautiful black clownfish I've ever seen. It was pure coal black with no yellow on it's fins, just a beautiful bright yellow around it's mouth, and the lines on it weren't slanted like on most black clowns I've seen, they were straight like those on a true percula and...

Hey, smarls, I didn't say you weren't trying to help. I actually found your information helpful, I just said to any future posters, post what you think and leave it at that, if it contradicts someone, that's okay, if I asked about shocking myself with a certain voltage, would I live, some would...

Alright, now has everyone had their say? If you haven't, by all means post it unless it is to flame someone, even in a moderate or "civil" way. If you are merely trying to point out that certain corals, contrary to others beliefs, will not thrive in my conditions, then that's alright, just don't...

Originally posted by fishieness But i would think that you would do a lot better with a smaller tank because the lights would be more concentrated. If you have a 96 watt bulb, that is going to spread out across the lenth of your 36 inch tank, or a 96 watt bulb would spread across the lenth of...

But what does it matter if the corals are up high in the tank!?:confused:

ok, lets not have a war on my thread now I've gotten many Opinions and experiences from you guys, and thanks for that, but now I have a different ? People talk about wpg, even I do. But if I put my 4x96w on my 10gal, I'd have over 9wpg, but isn't this the same as if I put a coral high in the...

I heard somewhere they need atleast 2wpg to live. This was a reputable website, IMO, but still, swf.com gives me many opinions, so where are they? :nervous:

Can I keep things such as candy corals, torch, frogspawn, maybe a few leathers in a 30 w/ 96w coralife light on it?

Ive had a zebra and Sfe in the same tank before, no problems

Also, if I got a BTA, and put it near the tip top of my tank(96watts, 50/50, made by Aqualight, i think) would this be sufficient?

It is my old lr, but I've soaked it in vinegar and scrubbed it with a toothbrush, plus its been in a bucket of fw for 8 months. But my point is that you can't just stick some play sand and some river rocks and get a sw tank, right? :happyfish :yes: :thinking: :yes: :yes: :yes:

I've been in this hobby about 3 1/2 yrs. I've set up and ran 3 tanks about 5 different times(1-55, 2-30, 2-10) and each time a question has haunted and puzzled me. The first time in a 55 I used live sand and one peice of live rock, the second(10) I used the sand from that tank and some base...

Wow, long thread, I wonder how long its been here, I'll check later, anyways, let me say that I love all God's creation. My favorite things though are the animals(sorry to all you "humans" out there who think you're better than them):rolleyes:(jk, I love the humans too) My faves of them are...
