Is a percula clown OK by himself, or do they need to be in groups. I also have 3 green Chromis. Tank is 100g

It certainly does! I’m waiting for it to start showing up in my car

Being new to this, I'm wondering how salt creep ends up where it does. I have it all around my wet/dry and sump, top of my in sump protein skimmer, etc. If there is no water in these spots (and there isnt b/c i was affraid someting was leaking somewhere), who does the salt end up in these...

thanks reef............ how about the bulbs, I'm OK with my selection?

Ok, so I ordered the Icecap retro kit and got 2 Aquasun bulbs and 1 Actinic Blue. My new question in do I need a reflector to go behind the bulbs. It says the bulbs have a 180 degree built in reflector.

i thought if i put the VHO's in, i can always add the MH's later, keeping the VHO's. (am I correct?) I think I am going to try to stagger the bulbs, if the kit will let me. It's a 3 lamp icecap that throws 285 watts. Now on to my second question............ Which bulbs or what combo of...

Not really sure yet. I figure if I'm using a retro kit for the VHO lights, i can always add MH later. Just not sure what to do about the lenght.

Can I use a 36" 3 bulb retro for a 44" long tank, or will the extra few inches on either side pose a problem. If this is OK, which bulbs should I use, I can choose between AquaSun, Actinic White and Actinic Blue. I plan on getting LED's for moonlights. I only plan on keeping some evry basic...

As far as I have heard, green chromis are very hardy. I think someone earlier in this thread called them "bullet proof". I have never heard of them being fragile, but then again I am new to this.

I have both in my tank, mhey go well together. The Tonga looks more like old coral, while the Fiji is more rock-like........... if that makes any sense. The Fiji may cost more because it is pre-cured. The Tong I got was not.

I'm heading to my LFS to get food to feed my tank, and realized I have no idea what to get. I obiviously want to get something I can use when I actually get fish. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Thats what i'll do. So in your opinion, this is normal, and everything is progressing as it should?

Originally posted by Bang Guy The rock & live sand is taking care of the Ammonia. I'd suggest feeding the tank a little bit of food to feed the bacteria and let the tank mature for a bit. I was expecting the ammonia spike to last a bit longer from die off on the live rock. Feed the tank or...

Ok, 100G w/wet/dry from previous established freshwater system. set up a week ago, 40# live sand added last Sunday. 75# LR added on Thursday. 45# pre-cured fiji, 30# uncured tonga Ph - Aprox 8 Ammonia - between .25 & .5 Nitrite - 10 or higher ( bright red, kind off the color chart) Nitrate -...

I'm going to make a couple of minor changes, move a piece or two from the sides, and stack the a bit higher. The tank is DEEP, 32" to be exact, and I'm affraid to go too high. No stink yet, i scrubbed off most of the squishy black stuff. One rock oozed some yellow/orange goo. Pretty gross

Never thought of having to clean the glass. Is this going to be a major problem for me? Also, how long until this starts to smell...........just so i'm prepared :nervous:
