    Angels vs corals

    Sounds like the best bet may be to try a coral beauty. I already have corals and the tank is quite established, so maybe I will have some luck. The pain is if I have to take him out without breaking down the whole darn tank! Thanks for everyone's opinions and help!!!!

    Angels vs corals

    It seems that most angel fish I research show that they are not safe with corals or at the very least monitor. I have a 75 gallon with mostly softies and LPS. Anyone had any luck with any angel not messing with their corals ?

    sand cleanup help

    Thanks for the reccomendation. I set this tank up about a year ago with mostly old lr from another tank. So it is pretty established but I have been fighting cyano a little and I know I need new lights for one(I'm picking them up tomorrow). Hopefully this will help alleviate. I'm probably going...

    cyano - to vac or not to vac

    I don't have a big cuc really, no conch snails. I have just a few snails and crabs. Probably would not hurt to add some snails and crabs. It seems sometimes crabs knock over or mess with my corals and it pi#$ me off

    Crazy Day, Yellow tang glued his mouth shut

    I have a friend that just this week was acclimating a clown tang and while doing so walked to the kitchen to get something. When he came back his little boy had picked up the fish and put it in his mouth ! So far the fish is still alive and my friend told me he was going to name him SUSHI ! lol

    New Anemone.. questions

    I have a long tenacle anenome and it will close up and eat brine or mysid shrimp from the water column when I feed my fish. Wherever you place him in the tank, if he does not like it, don't worry he will move. I was lucky when I put mine in about a year ago, I placed him in the front corner with...

    mh bulbs - brands

    I was using reefgrow bulbs, and overall they are fine, but I was hoping for somethign a little better as far as growth. My buddy at the LFS is saying that for the money he has been real happy with SPS(South Pacific Sunlight) 14k. It probably really is his opinion because I am not buying from...

    mh bulbs - brands

    Also, I see mixed thoughts on kelvin rating. Will the 20k give you less coral growth than a 14K for instance ?

    mh bulbs - brands

    I've been sitting here researching some more on line. The Radium 20k looks a little tempting too. I see mention on line of types of ballasts. One forum said don't use these bulbs on electronic ballasts. What the h@@#$ does that mean. I don't really know what kind of ballasts I even have, I guess...
