    diving for fish? what checmical is used to slow them down...?

    Im sure his intentions were not to go around pulluting the reef. He probably didnt know that the chemical was cyanide and that it was damaging. Most likely he heard somewhere that this method was used and assumed that it was enviromentally safe.

    clown corals

    I just bought a percula for my 12 gallon nano cube. I know I cant keep any anemones in it even with my 50watts of lighting so I was wondering what kind of coral I could get that might host him...any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Inspired for a mini reef!!

    my only reccomendation would be more lighting, but having had a 5 gallon before myself, i know its hard to fit more in there....however the corals you have listed should do fine with just 18watts...just be careful.
