I have no idea what it is going to be stocked with. i am going to have to do allot of reseearch and see where it takes me. i have never had anything other than fish. Opinions welcome. i guess i will start with the easy stuff, if there is such a thing. Probably get some live rock over the weekend...

I was willing to pay more for the halides but he actually talked me out of them. Said it would be more trouble than it was worth. Said they give off allot of heat and might give me problems later on. I guess i can always get one later on if needed. Probably wont even get started till the weekend.

Just came home from the LFS with a 34g Solana. Havent even begun to set it up. Have had a succesfull FO salt tank 15 years ago and reset up a FO tank some months ago. But have always loved the reefs. Well the wife said do it today at the store so i did! Did i make a good choice? Any help or...

So how big wa sthe one actually had supposed to get? In case i replace him with the same.

Thanks Cranberry. He WAS beautiful. My wifes favorite fish. Was very upset. Hopefully i will find another one like him.

Here are the pics i had of him. I think you are right and that he died. The Radiata died a few days later. I rechecked my water and the nitrite was .50. Would that have done it? Not sure what would cause that? The only thing i can think of is that i did add a piece of live rock, as i didnt have...

I am looking into getting a nano tank. Are there any stands made for them that arent black? Looking for something more like a natuaral color wood stand.

Trying to figure out what is wrong if anything. The pic where he looks ok was taken this past Saturday. The second pic was taken Tuesday. On Tuesday I came home from work and was like what happened. He looked like he had been bleached. I tested the water(results below) and pretty much just left...

I have had the Miles for about 5-6 months. He was about 4". Was doing great. Not a single problem ever. The crab was in a shell about 2 1/2". The miles was feeding twice a week on ghost shrimp. He fed on minnows once. They were definitely SW, even lived in the tank for a few days as he picked...

Doesnt matter anymore. Last night a large hermit i bought for my daughter seemed to ambush him in the night. Woke up this morning to a dead Miles. Wife is EXTREMELY unhappy. Got rid of the crab.

Ok, thanks guys. He is gone. Picked up a few of the smaller hermit crabs. The LFS called them reef safe, red leg, blue leg, etc. My daughter was upset but i told her they were baby Sebastions. These shouldnt attack anything should they? How many are good?

I recently posted a thread asking if i can mix lionfish. Well as of last night i no longer need an answer to that question. I recently(a few days ago) purchased a hermit crab about 2" long. I was in the store with my daughter and she wanted a crab like sebastion from little mermaid. Not sure of...

Thanks Chuck for the clarification. Which one is going to get a foot long? I thought they both would be under that? I dont have a Volitan? Can you elaborate on the aquascaping? Right now its a pretty simple setup and if there is a way to help by aquascaping i am all ears. Frozen? Whats that,lol...

Chuck: Did you mean "shouldn't" be a problem with aggresion? Or there will be a problem with aggression. Your wording with the "however" threw me a bit. I thought lions werent really aggresssive fish by nature, just opportunistic predators? Didnt think they would outgrow the tank. I reference...

Is that a problem? Can you safely mix lionfish of the same size but different species? I have a 75g and with a Miles(wifes fav) lion and I just put in a Radiata(my fav) a few days ago. I dont see any issues and was told it wouldnt be a problem, but figured i would put it to you guys .

So i changed out my canister filters today for a wet/dry using two hob overflow boxes. These things are unbelievably loud. The tank is in my living room and the wife already asked how long it was going to be like this. The bulk of the sound is coming from the overflow boxes. I have the foam...

Which one from this site do you have? the one with the light just went on sale. The couple of extra bucks doesnt bother me, i just want the better quality one.

Anyone else? How is the one from this site anyone use it?

I just received my refractometer and it says it needs to be calibrated with distilled water. I dont have any on hand, is there anything else i can use to calibrate with(Tap water?) or do i have to wait until i pick some up?
