    Temperature of your tank anyone ?

    By the way your fish only could be perfectly happy at 74 Deg. or anywhere up to 80 Deg. Their metabolism is just faster or slower. I like them driving along at 78.:jumping:

    What are the most colorful corals?

    I know I here you. You look like 130w/29=4.48watts per gal. While that sounds good it is flour. and maybe doesn't reach the bottom of the tank in power. Looks like you are doing great though. I recently bought some Coralife compact fluorescent with 2-65w 10,000k and 2-65w 50/50 actinic for my...

    undergravel filter

    sweetpea4044 That's what I'm about to do. I'm 75g FOWLR with a couple simple polyps. I'm tired of looking at cc and sand looks great. The UGF would someday develope a possible case for nitrates and I don't want to use it with the sand nor look at the 1" tubes anymore. I think to advance...

    feeding a sallylightfoot

    Sallies are really neat. I never did anything special. Sometimes I'd drip in mysis shrimp with tank water mix and formula 1. Believe me he'd come runnin. He molted 4 times and we always got to save the skeletons aside to watch him grow. I'ts fun to watch them jump out at passerbys to say BOO.

    Did I hypo too quickly? Lost a fish

    I've been thru this too. Probably was the nitrites. Just 1 fish will drive up a newly setup QT in a days time, in 2 days probably burning them pretty good, by day 3 ans so on they will die if you do not change 50% water on daily basis. Sorry. Keep a Qt up and running for emergency. Took me...

    New Neon Dottyback ??

    Do Neon Dottybacks eat Bristle worms? If so how fast? I haven't found much info on them. I just added on last night. When I read only one per tank is that 1 Neon Dottyback or do they mean 1 Dottyback. Is the rule sorta 1 fish of the same shape?

    Blow off LR with powerhead?

    Except for my Maroon Clown remodeling from time to time I don't see much change in my lr except maybe coraline coming and going. I even say it turn to half inch long hair then go back to just a coating. Amazing stuff!:notsure:

    Can you fill up a new tank with tap water.

    Are we havin fun yet. My water co. actually sent out a flyer saying "If you have pond fish or fish tank do not use their water". I discovered this after my fish were dying from to much metal. After I bought 33cent/gal water from Wal-mart I cleaned up the problem and quit killing and loosing...

    Wondering how much water flow is right??

    Flow probably applies to all forums and I'll try this one too. Thanks. I'm wondering how much water flow my fish, inverts, soft corals, etc. (basically my tank) might like. I have a 75 gal long hex with coral sub but a corner of ls, 30 lbs. Lr and I'm starting some soft corals that 260 watts of...
