I have go a pretty good variance of the above as well and like strive to keep the alk around 3.0- 3.5 with calc at 450 ish.

I agree with the above posts, no no no..

I believe that is a "box" crab. That will completely destroy your tank.

Def the naso, you can't go wrong. These fish have the best personality.

Well, to tell you the truth, I have been using the Kent Super Dkh with no success. I have also tried some other buffers with little success as well. I have heard that baking soda does a good job and it is about a 10th of the cost. . . . don't need to go broke going through tons of kent products.

For those who use this remidy to raise your alkilinity, can you fill me in on the mixing. I cannot seem to find this anywhere. Currently tryuing to raise the alk in my 55 gallon, right now it is at 2.0 and need to get it up. Any help would be great. Thanks

Broomer, I just got one the other day. Man what personality these guys have.IMO, get one!! The day I put him in the tank he started eating right away. Went for brine, mysis, plankton and even flake. i don't think they are picky. Most def. the best addition so far.

Anyone know of a chain type stor (eg. michaels, HD, etc.) that might sell sheets of thick acrylic?? Also, about what strength or width of acrylic would i need to build at least a 36 x 17 x 18 inch sump ?? thanks all.

I have never had 0. I have some fish in my reef so I will have traces of them no matter what. You have to feed fish so fish produce waste. It is inevitable. For those who don't have any fish, I am not sure.

Anymore takers??? This guy has just got to live .... :(

I recently purchased an orange tip green boubble tip anemone two weeks ago. For the first week it was looking wonderfull and ate twice. For the past week, it has been real deflated, won't accept food and has been turning brownish. I know that anemones deflated from time to time to rid themselves...

what is it exactly and where can you get it????

YES, one of these species is commonly dyed yellow. Reniformis : this coral is shaped like a scroll and is commonly called the scroll coral. this coral is naturally dark mustard to bright yellow. Patula : this coral is shaped more like a flat disk and known as pagota and is naturally dark tan...

All, I find this to be rather disturbing. It seems as if you have been cheated or scammed that you have no right to voice your opinion on the company that is doing something wrong. <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/news/734035.asp" target="_blank">http://www.msnbc.com/news/734035.asp</a>

Well, I am not worried about the heat. I built an open back canopy the is about 12.5 inches. The MH bulbls are 8 inches away and the PCs about 10 inches away along with two very nice fans. In fact, the temp inside the canopy has not broke 80 degrees. Pretty sweet! I have a thermo in the canopy...

Ok then, here is what I did last night. To the existing set up I added my other 96w smartlight to the mix so I now have: 2 175w MH 2 96w 50/50 smartlights 1 65w blue actinic = 607 Watts = 11 watts per gallon on a standard 55 gallon. Would this be considered "intense" or still "moderate" lighting?

I just recently upgraded the lighting on my 55g reef. HAD: 2 96w smartlights 1 65w blue actinic NOW HAVE 2 175w MH @ 55k 1 96w smartlight 1 65 blue actinic The wierd thing is that the tank looks like it has less light now than it did with half the lighting. Is this ok? I want to get some...
