I had a mirror cut to size behind my 2-29g tanks side by side with half castle on each side. It looks awesome , but requires you to clean the back wall of the tank quite often so to use it in a reef tank or saltwater tank, unless your able to reach the back to clean it on a daily basis, it's...

I kinda skim through the post real quick, but I don't see anything about how you acclimate those fish into your tank??? Follow saltwaterfish.com's acclimation guide!!!! Like it was mentioned already, do not over stock, you put too many fish in a 55 g tank. You really need to slow down, maybe...

I personally lean more towards frozen foods or fresh prepared foods over pellets. I USED to feed pellets, now I just feed it to them every so often, mainly feed pellets to crabs and who ever doesn't get enough food since my fish are hogs tearing up all the frozen food before they even reach...

Originally Posted by Bang Guy I wouldn't add more than 3 Nassarius vibex to a 58. 2 turbo's is good, 3 or 4 Astraea is fine, 10 trochus is also good. Also, 4 or 5 Cerith and a Black Sea Cucumber. A Brittlestar can be helpful and interesting. I would wait until the tank is stable because...

Originally Posted by coachKLM if youd want to get "precise" yes adding more then one or two at a time can upset the water balance DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE TANK ex. i put 4 new types of softies/ lps in an establish 40 breeder and crashed it within 2 days I put 12 new types of softies and lps...

Originally Posted by sepulatian True live sand is from the ocean floor and lives only a few days without being submersed in SW and having flow. This is the real LS. Sand that is damp in a bag is good, and will still contain live bacteria. Agree!!! When I moved back in May, I decided to change...

It should be fine....I don't understand why your downsizing though??? Smaller tanks are harder to take care of then larger tanks since you have lesser room for error....Between my 55 and my 90, I have a lot less problem with my 90 then 55....

I have to agree with the poster above!!! You can also look into Denitrator....

Originally Posted by hotjeepinmomma i think so i looked it up the images on google and it looks the same why is that bad?! It can take over your tank and kill any corals while at it....They do run their course though. What type of water are you using?? Are you stirring your sandbed?

I do have to second Maxi-jets!!! I've been using the same Maxi-jet for the past 4 years and they're still working just fine, just a simple cleaning every once in a while......

I would just use LS in the fuge instead of mud. In one of my tank I used kent fuge sediment or something like that and the other tank I used LS. It doesn't make any difference to me actually.....Good luck with your tank!!!

Originally Posted by Travis89 Peppermint shrimp are fine with coral, they will usually only eat the small aiptasia. When I had mine, they eat other types as well when they ran out of Aiptasia. They ate Majano and Tulip, there's NO anemone left in my tank. The Shrimps died afterwards since...
