top downs are always rad. ive never tried any, maybe i will give it a whirl. and nas, your tank looks money, even from the top!

did you use new water or some out of the old tank/120? i liked your old nano so i cant wait to see how the new nano comes out. good luck.

im in the same boat as you NM. im using a 5 gal kalk drip doser, and im on the hunt for a cal reactor. i will be looking forward to seeing how your set up with it goes. :) i know you cant post web links on this page, but are you talking about the reactors on my.reef.cre*tions? just wondering...

what size is your tank? this matters a little, but not much. all in all i would go with the pcs. for the best bang of your dollar, the pcs are the best choice. the bulbs life is about 12-18 months, compared to the 9 months of a vho. they are cooler and do not use as much electricity either. and...

good ?. im not too sure that they do molt. i personally have never seen any molts, but like you said they are inverts, and well inverts do molt. hmmm. got me thinking now. :thinking:

nice looking tank! do you have any full tank shots?

my gf thinks they are "SOOO cute" and i always have to explain the dangers of a porcupine puffer in a reef. btw that is a rad pic ryan! as always im thoroughly impressed with your pics.

if you scrub it on the glass or even a piece of lr, the coraline will release "spores" into the water and cause it to spread. another way is to have a powerhead or return line blast a piece of lr causing the same effect of the spreading of spores my coraline has taken off since i started...

some folks keep them in nanos, but they have light upgrades. i have the same nano myself. since its on the lower end of the "watts per gal" rule i keep it simple with ample softies; toadstool, finger leather, zoos, gsp, and a ton of xenia. there are plenty of other softies that will do fine...

nope the only fish to get along with a sea horse are; pipe fish, which are nothing more than a straight seahorse. or a dragonette. but all three (sea horse, pipefish, dragonette) are very difficult to feed b/c they require live food the marjority of the time and often starve to death in the home...

eaglefan-its my understanding that monit caps will be ok under vhos or pcs. they dont get the same growth as metal halides (side note, bummer about TO, but the eagles still have a good chance) ricky, if you are serious about doing montis or any sps then look into metal halide lights. i...

it really doesnt matter with a FOWLR what lights you have. personally i would look at pcs for a few reasons. the cost (operation, replacement bulbs). they provide a bit of light, and this will help your algea grow. also they are brighter than NO bulbs and will bring out the fishs' color more. hth.

i would stay away from the naso and the sweet lips. the nasos will get over 18 in and the sweet lips over 24 in. down the road the clowns could be a problem. maroons are one of the largest clowns and most aggresive as well. i would either just have one pair of maroons or clarkii, whichever you...

most folks on here agree that a 48 in tank can be a little on the small side, esp for some of the larger tangs. i would maybe look at a kole tang. they stay small and would excell in a 75. if you want to add a splash of yellow look into foxfaces. they also dont get as large, are hardy and...

my understanding of rics (and i am limited in my knowledge of rics) is that they do prefer to be attached to a rock, much like a shroom. hth and good luck with the new ric.

thanks for the comments. i have one monti cap already, its a brown with a slight purple rim. its grown ALOT since i first got it as a frag (about the size of a quarter). it has survived a few moves and hurricanes (and it did partly bleach out too) and now is at least 6-7 in in diameter. i cant...

heres a pic of my new orange monti cap. enjoy!

rad tank!

i agree with bdubbya, jauringer, and reefer44. my pavona has a little white feather duster that lives in it's skeleton with no problems.

nice lime green zoos
