So would the yellow tail damsel be the least aggressive of all damsels? I think my tank is cycled but would like to test it out first with a peaceful damsel. Any suggestions?

I am guessing that you take the pics from the outside of the tank right? And just zoom in? Either way, those are some very nice pics, I cant wait to some stuff like that in my tank.

your fish looks a little better than mine when I had it. if you get some babies, send em on over hahah

I actually had one like that a few years ago, it was called a green spot puffer but it looks about the same. Mine was in my salt water tank with a dwarf lion and an eel. I've seen them at ***** in the freshwater section but I was told you can slowly acclimated them to full salt water if you...

hmmm now im kinda stuck on what to do. I want to take my LR out of the bucket and get it into my tank, at the same time I want it to finish curing so I probably should keep on skimming to get the bad stuff out. But I dont want to make it harder for the bacteria to multiply??????

san jose, california.... any other reefers from the bay?

Yes I've thought about a refigum but for right now Im just trying to get my tank up and running. I have a sump and that might eventually turn into a refigum/sump or something like that. I dont really know anyone else around here who is into making coral reefs in their houses, none of my friends...

Ok I wont use a plenum, I think the LFS just wants to sell me more stuff that I dont need. How is the LS from this site? I have oolitic sand for my bed, any idea on how the sand from this site looks and if its full or critters like it says.

I am setting up a 60 Gal tank this weekend. I have 45 LBS LR and will have a 4" DSB that I plan to make live after the tank is done cycling. Should I use a plenum or not. I dont plan to use the undergravel filter at all. Have you had problems with or without the plenum?

I've got some LR that has been in a bucket for a week but I can finally setup my tank so I want to move it into there. I have been skimming and it has been pulling lots of stuff from the water. Im going to have a 4" sand bed and will probably start off with a bad of LS to give the bacteria a...

Thanks for the responses. It doesnt seem like a big deal so I'll probably just leave it

My LFS told me they only have 'net caught' fish and that they are much better than the ones caught with poison. They looked like nice, healthy fish and the prices were cheaper than my other LFS. Are they usually as healthy and disease free? Any bad experiences? Please let me know... Thanks!

Will the peppermint shrimp eat the fighting conch too? Which are better at cleaning sand?

My 60 Gal tank has an overflow in the back corner and in order for me to use it, I have 2 options. The tank is 15" from front to back and my stand is the same. The stand is 30" tall and has about a 2" board running around the edge with nothing in the middle. Kinda like a squared off 8. The first...

Thanks for the input! I ordered 2 aquasun and 2 super actinic bulbs. I think I would like the blue look. By 2 years, do you mean that the bulbs have lasted that long or you have had that look for 2 years?

That is definately a RIP OFF!!! Thats what I told him too. He said he could give me 15% off but thats it. I just laughed at him and said I'll get it online. They did give me a good price on my tank tho, 60GAL plexi, black back, with built in overflow for $190. But everything else I will order...

The LFS told me to get the RIO 1700 and said it would be perfect. They are charging and arm, leg and and eye for it tho, about $65!!!! But I can afford about a $40 pump online so maybe a bigger mag than the 1.9 would be in my budget. My tank does have a built in overflow with about a 1.5" drain...

The mag 9 looks pretty nice too but my funds are kinda low right now. I am setting up a 60 Gal reef tank. I have about 45 LBS of LR curing right now and after the tank cycles, I will try and make my sand bed more live. I have a couple power heads for circulation and then a seaclone skimmer which...

Well if Bang Guy is around, does that sound like the best combo to use 2 blues and 2 aquasuns? I am guessing that the Super Actinic are the blues?

Well the Mag Drive 1.9 says it can pump about 135GPH at 4' Do you think this would be decent flow? My water would cycle through the sump twice per hour at this rate. I dont really want to spend that much more on my tank because I really dont have money for it. Also where do I get a control for...
