Ive heard super slow for maximum exposure. 100-200 gph or less this method would use a small powerhead. Ive heard 30 gph per watt or less, I could use my fluval and a 15-25 watt uv. Ive heard some uv's rated at huge flow rates like 700+gph and the multiple pass is better theory comes in to play...

He's beautiful!!!! Ive kept 2 lions in my saltwater experience. Mine loved dried krill at the end of a stick. If you try it make sure the krill is loose enough for him to get it off. All of my lions started eating this way with no problems and grew very fast.

Well if they kill him I know not to buy another one. What do you think he would like for his last meal? :cool:

I just introduced one. If there are no parasites to eat what then? Flake?

Thanks for the replies. Your right he woke up at about 12 o'clock. I had never seen a fish sleep in :D So what type of food should I feed the cleaner wrasse?

I put him in yesterday because my picaso had a little ich. He seemed fine , very active and aproaching the other fish for cleaning. Today he's gone. Do you think he's still alive. I hate to loose a fish but even worse I spent most of yesterday rearanging 150# of lr into a beautiful wall...

PA reef pig, your right I just got some good suggestions on books to read on the guppy board. Its funny, Ive run a 55 gal salt and 125 gal successfully with undergravel and canisters. Whole different story now, Wet-drys,skimmers,sumps,lighting,live rock,live sand and water supplements. Feels...

Ask and you shall receive, The salt water bible(s) Thanks, Almarktool, j21kickster & NaCl-H20 so my reading list is- The conscientious marine aqurist The marine aquarium Aquarium corals Marine fishes a quick guide Microcosm publishing (anything) Salt water fish for dummies ( for good measure)

Get Reel youve been really helpful. thanks,but Ive got another guppy question. What the hell is a sump?

After a couple of post on this board I realize how much I dont know. Anyone have some suggestions on a good book to read. Salt Water Aquarium Bible.

No lights huh. I dont know if I can keep it dark, it looks so cool. $100 bucks sound reasonable. What sould I look for in a protein skimmer? Any features to have or skip. I dont have any room behind the tank for hang on stuff.

Yeah a protein skimmer sound like a good idea. This is a lot of rock with alot of stuff thats dead or on its way out. I havent done any water tests yet, I seem to be taking a much more relaxed approach to this set up for some reason. Can you buy a protein skimmer at petsmart I think their...

Im not sure. It's fiji. When I picked it up from the store it was still moist with a pretty strong sea odor. The reef guy at the store said the supplier pulls the rock then lets it dry out a bit to get rid of unwanted critters like mantis shrimp. Then ship it. It only took 3 days to arrive...

Ive been setup for 6 days now. 90 gal w/ 150# lr. The rock is starting to fade. Is this part of the cycling w/ lr or is their something I can do to keep it colorful and live?

As messy as most aggressive fish eat, what kind of fish could clean up after them. No fish yet, but after I cycle my clown trigger is gonna need a maid.

Why so much current? Do you have a reef or fish only?

Thanks for the reply Fshhub, 6 months is quite a bit longer than the 3-4 weeks the pet store quoted but really not suprising, I know these things take time. I had a 55 gal with undergravel setup and dead corals and experienced a lot of casualties because of over stocking and lack of patience...

Hello all, I just set up my new tank 5 days ago. Its a 90 gallon show setup with 150# of fiji rock and a fluval 404. Its looks awesome! 2 quick questions #1 Ive heard live rock will cycle a tank very quickly. How long is this setup going to take to cycle? #2 Is a fluval 404 and 150# of live...
