So Fishieness, take care of the bigger Aiptasia with Joes juice and use the peppermint shrimp to clean up for future problems?

I need some help to control my Aiptasia. I have heard that they are nearly impossible to irraticate but is there some thing out there that would slow them down? I have a reef tank 29gal with soft coral and a BTA. I know copper butterfly will eat them, but will eat coral as well. The only...

wax 32 What kind of corals do you have in your 29gal and how do you have a 10 watts per gal?

How much is too much lighting and how much is to little to keep coral? (Give numbers with watt per gallon)

Oceana was it too much heat for the tank and was it enough light for those corals that need more light? What did you have in your tank with the 4 65w.

I have that same setup as well and had a star polyp and it died on me. Has anyone tried to put an other 65w pc strip in their tank? I would like a little more light power and I am thinking that an extra 65w would be enough. It seems that all my corals except for my mushrooms are at the top...

Hey Sweet, tank is looking really good! Quick question, with all of those softies, what kind of replacement additives do you use? (Calcium, Iodine.. things like that) and what brands. Plus how often do you do water changes? Still loving the clam!

I also have a 29gal and I use two maxi jet 1200s at the top of my tank. One at the front glass and the other blowing the rear of the rock. With the rock in the way it kind of moves in a circular motion with spots that are faster than others.

I would the fire shrimp over the file fish because it will go after crabs as well. You will need the shrimp and the crabs to help clean the tank of algae unless you would like to to it yourself with a tooth brush. Plus if you get two shrimp they will hatch larve which would provide food for...

I have a coralife 30in retro that have 2x65w and the corals that I have in my tank are zoos paly hairy mushroom neon mushrooms ricordia keyna tree cup coral They all seem to be doing really good. With PC you just dont have that high intensity that you need for a lot of the stoney coral but...

How do you flush the bio-balls?

I have heard that bio ball are crap, they they do more harm than good in the long run. I would like to put them in my refugium before the pump to help filter the water of loose algae and small bits of what ever that is floating down there. Also which kinds are better and how long do they last...

Sweet, can you do me a favor and take a picture of how you have your lights set up? (of course with the lights off.) and post them or email to me. THX

Looks like a really nice start. Have you thought what you are going to put in it?

Well Jrisg8, no matter what people or books tell you, anemones are really hard to take care of. Almost everyone, beginner and expert have trouble taking care of anemones. Those people that have had theirs for years are lucky. Anemones good part of the time will die on you for no aparent...

I have a 29gal tank with a PC at 130w of lights. I would love to know what kinds of coral everyone has and what types of lights they need. I am looking for a coral that needs med. to moderate light and that doenst get to big. What about leather coral? Throw some more ideas my way. Thanks

Well, my scooter dragnet, is doing great. I see it eating cyclop-eeze mysid shrimp and it really likes his formula one and new life pellets. His belly is always fat. Sweet, does your dragnet go crazy when the lights first go on in the morning and you are up close to the tank?

kim, do you have any pics of you using it?

From what I have read about zoos, they need a good amount of light. Just not direct light. Smarls and Fishcake were right, it isnt a zoo, they are palythoa sp. and what they are doing is perfectly normal. When I bought them, I was told they were zoos, but then again, they were a lot smaller...

Sweet, those are really good pics. I am still having a hard time taking pics like that. Are the picture straight from the camera or do you put them through a photo shop program?
