Yellow Tang

Yep. A few years ago I wired a convenient light switch underneath the tank to turn the sump off and on. I used a cheap extension cord to wire it up and while I was at work it caught on fire. I came home and the house was full of black soot and the oak cabinet was charred. For some reason the...

Junk Science!

Not to long ago I had a 400 gallon with the regal, powder blue, and yellow. I loved how much room my fish had and always considered that size to be the right size for tangs. Since then, I parted with all but the yellow tang, a few clowns, damsel, and coral beauty. I have them all piled into a...

Well Ive had this colt coral which is really two (I split it in half) for close to 3 years and at one point under CFs it was absoloutely enormous. In late January of last year I changed from a 55 gallon with 4X65 PC to a 110 with 4x65 PC & 2X 150 10K Metal Halides. From that point the corals...

Yeah the fan aimed directly at any water in your closed system will cause evaporation and take several degrees from the tank. I got a 110 off of ---- when I was home on leave from Iraq and inherited some 2x 150 halides and 4x65 PC's. The halides are about 5-6 inches off the water and were...

I honestly had a rough time rubberbanding them to rocks. They are so damn slippery. I eventually got them all to stay. I agree cut them near the V sections. Its fool proof.

dump her. She just wants attention.

Looking for a place to buy carbon in bulk. buying these small boxes for 10 bucks a pop is killing me. Brian

From my experience what you have now is pretty much what your going to get. If you want stuff on your rocks get florida live rock and do regular water changes for a month to save the life on it.

Yeah I agree use the water. I was there for a year in okinawa and the water is crystal clear. I wish I had a tank when i was there. Brian

thats funny a gorilla crab tore up my stars as well.

I would say its some kind of sponge.

I wouldnt jump to the conclusion that the CBS will kill it. My cleaner and CBS have lived together for years. My cleaner has no fear of the CBS and the CBS doesnt mess with the cleaner. I guess it just depends on the combination you have. I would definately try it. Brian

cleaners are the best. Ive had mine for 2 years and he has tons of character.

The sterilizer you are running will kill the phto in your tank. The sterilizer is great for freshwater but id get rid of it if you are serious about building a reef. As far as chillers go you probably will not need one with your wattage. If your house stays relatively cool then your probably ok...

Id say if you recently purchased florida live rock it is a gorilla crab. Hard to say without a picture though. Brian

A 65 watt Power compact sounds about right for your tank. I f you can run both then do it but I think 65 watts is good for a 22 gallon tank. My LFS told me once that power compacts could grow 80% of what the had in their tanks and I tend to believe that. Brian

I thought thats what it was. I kind of like them. Ive been feeding them shrimp pieces. I guess I can put them down in the fuge. Brian
