Jon, I myself am new to SW, but everything I have learned here and on other boards and from reading, would suggest that 20g tank isn't too small. Altho, to maintain a smaller reef is a big pain. The skimmer is a matter of choice. I use one and swear by them. Less water changes and in a small...

None that I have seen. I have looked in there after turning off lights w/ flashlight and haven't seen anything that shouldn't be there.

No. The carpet sits in a corner all by itself. The RBTA was on the other side of the tank. The Pink tip Haitian was somewhere in the middle.

They have all been in the same tank for almost three months. The emerald crabs are a about the size of a nikle.

Today I found pieces of my RBTA and Pink Haitian BTA in shredds all over my tank!!! I found the "foot" of the RBTA and it looks like something just took big hunks off of it. I feed every other day. I have: 2 - Clowns 2 - Blue Damsels 1 - three strip 1 - yellow and blue something that I think...

Would I still have to cure it? If so, what about any hitch hikers? Don't you have to cure LR in fw? I know stupid questions, but I only have what came with the tank and it's not enough from everything I have read here. TIA!!

When doing a WC, do I need to use all RO/DI? Or can I just use RO? DI takes soooooo long. To top off, I use RO/DI.:help:

Same thing happened to me. I bought an existing tank, LS, LR and fish, filter, etc. I did not have a cycle. After three days I put in the fish (I know too soon.) But my tank has been good since then. It's been up for two and a half months. Only issues I have had are diatoms and now an algea...

Just trying to figure out which one(s) I should be using.

Originally posted by TimO Sorry to sound rude, but these are questions that have been asked and answered on this and every board a thousand times. Do a search on those keywords, and/or generally surf around the net on marine aquarium topics. You could do that for years and keep learning...

Thanks for all of the help Thomas. I have been looking at the MH lighting kits. Just lost my job so I can not afford the pre-built. I think I should be able to do it for under $150.00 given all the resources here and on the web. What I am thinking is two 250 MH's That should be ok, I think...

30 total watt output from the lights. Magnum filter is rated 250/gph. Skimmer is rated at 90/gph. Should be 130 totaol watts.

Originally posted by Thomas712 your anemone is looking for. Explain lighting and filteration, and water circulation in the tank, powerheads, spraybar, return pump whatever.... Thomas Lighting is compact coral life 10k and acitin. Filteration is Penguin bio wheel at 220 gph, magnum 350...

Ok, so I have been looking around here for some time now and I must say I am a little confused when it comes to lighting an SWA. What are the differnces between, 1) MH, 2) VHO, 3) acitin, and 4) coarl life. ANY help is greatly apperciated. I have a 90g tank with compact 10k coral lif and and...

Every two days with phytoplanton, brine and flake. Not enough? Wrong stuff? I try not to depend on my lfs for any guidance, but I wasn't sure when I purchase the Anenome(s). I have a red buble tip, a very small bubble tip, a purple tip and a pretty big one that stays where he has been since...

Why do my Anenome keep "walking" around? The tank is good, their have been no changes. One has gotten caught in the pf twice now. Don't they learn? This is just puzzling to me. TIA!:notsure:
