    proper tank circulation

    in my opinion the more circulation the better. In my 150 reef my return pump is 1600 gallons an hour with the hight loss. Plus I have 5 power heads hooked up to a wave maker each are 450 gallons an hour. And everything is awesome and has been for years. There are all different opinions out...

    shark movement in egg?

    If the eggsack is used up he is going to hatch real soon. The two I have raised I have assisted the hatching of the pup by cutting the egg carfully and letting the shark come out. As long as the egg is pretty much used up and there are no other fish in the tank that can hurt him I would do...

    Snowflake eel

    To do all that you are looking to do you are going to need a bigger tank. Granted the set up would work in the right size tank. Also you are going to need alot of bare ground for the stingray also. You are also going to need hiding places for the other fish and the shark. My banded cat shark...

    the guy at the lfs said

    If the box says 110 watts then they are only 110 watts not twice that like the lfs guy is telling you. You are running a little more then two watts per gallon. I would think about getting one more strip depending on what type of corals you are planning on doing. But if you are going low light...

    LFS Said...

    Are you also running any other type of filter on the tank like a sump or anything? If so get rid of the fluval I also agree that the fluvals should only be used for fresh water tanks.
