I have a 55 gallon with 4x65W PC lighting. I am still trying to save up for T5s but for now I will try to make the best of what I have. I see that a lot of the LPS corals need medium-high light. Would the sandbed of the tank qualify as medium light? Everything I read says either "medium" or...

Wanted to give an update: I ended up shutting my lights off for about three days. I turned the lights back on -about a week ago, and still no sign of cyano anywhere! All of my tests have come out to 0 (except dumb nitrates, which are still at 5). The couple corals I do have seem to be doing...

I thought the same thing but my son is only 14 months old. If he could fire silly string with that much accuracy, I may as well send him to college now :)

Cool, right? Or is they something that will take over my tank? They must be from my cerith snails.

These white things just showed up on my rock today. They were not there last night when I went to bed. It seems to be one long continuous white thread, zig zagging around. Does anyone know what this might be?

Thanks for the info everyone. I will start looking into the 6 bulb fixtures.

Sounds good. I am glad I could at least have one and one. My son will really enjoy the color contrast. Thanks so much for the info!

can a black clown, and orange clown become a mated pair?

one piece that is currently in there a really heavy ( ~20-25lbs), so although there is a lot of weight, it does not look like there is a lot of rock ( at least the way I see it) This is a pic of my tank currently - at least the best pic I have so far

For a 55 gallon tank, I currently have 65lbs. I would like another 30 lbs or so to help with aquascaping. Would that be too much live rock? Can you have too much live rock?

Can I have a pair of black Ocellaris and a pair of orange ocellaris clownfish in a 55 gal? My son is mesmerized by them and really likes the different colors but I don't want --- to be a last man standing match in the end.

salinity is 1.024

I ran a gamut of tests yesterday on my 55gal and here are the results: Ammonia, Nitrite - 0 Phosphate - .02 PH 8.2-8.4 Nitrate 5-10 ppm Alk - 8.4 dKH Ca - 350 ppm Currently all I have is a kenya tree, some green zoos, and a frogspawn. The tank is only 3 months old. I do not have a lot of...

I have a 55gal running 260W PCs currently. For corals, all I have is some green zoos, a frogspawn and a kenya tree. I am looking into upgrading my lighting but am not sure if I should go with 48" 4x54 T5, 6x54 T5, or a couple of 150W MH. I guess my goals would be able to keep some SPS but...

The picture is not the greatest but I wanted to share my first zoas. I think they are your standard green ones but I gotta start somewhere I guess.

I am going to try an fix this thing without any medicine yet. I have added a 350 GPH canister filter to help out. This pushes my total GPH to 1170. Plus the filter should help get rid of any extra floating stuff. We will see how it goes.

Update: I got a phosphate test this afternoon (Seachem brand). Test results 0 - 0.01 Not sure what could be the causefor the red slime. I may try upping my flow next and going to a 2day on, 1 day off feeding schedule.

I may try frozen food. I misspoke on the name. Its actually Nutrifin Max Marine.
