    Filtration question?

    I've thought about it but no way to drill holes etc...and to be honest I am not much of a handyman (yes the other half gets by bc I normally figure things out )...so a sump would be a bit too much at the moment. Any easy to instal wet/drys that would work well for my setup? Sounds like I would...

    Filtration question?

    I currently have a HOB Emperor 400 filter on my 90G tank and I am wondering if that is good enough or if I should upgrade to a canister filter or something else? My LFS basically said that the HOB Emp400 would work just as well as the canister would...any help or recommendations would be greatly...

    New LT Anemone - Best lighting?

    I have a new 90G setup and I just put in my first few items into the tank yesterday. A couple clowfish, coral banded shrimp, small cleanup crew and my long tentacle anemone! Water tested great at the LFS which confirmed my readings at home with my test kit. The LTA has settled and attached...

    Best time to place Anemone in a tank?

    Interesting...Well I guess I will talk this over a bit with the LFS and see what they said. I told them my intentions and they didn't seem like it would be a problem with lighting etc...but then again anyone in the profit business should always heed a word of caution. I have been really happy...

    Best time to place Anemone in a tank?

    I have been going back and forth for a bit now and I have received mixed input. When is the best time to place an Anemone in a tank? I have heard of some saying that the tank should be mature and then put one in. I am afraid of the little guy will sting other corals on its way to finding his...

    Noob setup advice

    Thanks for the advice...completely understood about the Tangs. I will see what my LFS has to say about them and if I would be able to bring them back when they get a bit bigger if I do not upgrade. I have heard of people doing that as a sort of trade in for another or credit. This stuck me a bit...
