ok, if i upgrade to a t5 like light, will it be ok for polyps? i've always thought polyps are amazing to watch!

alrighty, i think i'll buy some lemon juice and zap that nasty aiptasia outta there...thanks all!

to be honest, I don't even know if i can pop off the plastic guard to get to the bulbs to replace them. I may be lookin at a pc setup or a lower powered mh or somethin, haven't looked into it that far yet. lighting is expensive!

I have a 55g FOWLR setup with about 70 lbs of LR that's been established for about 2 years now. I have the original lighting that came with my tank....i'm pretty sure they're just cheap florescent lights. My question is, what coral/anemones can I have without upgrading my light?

if the rock you got was dried out that means there is "die off" and you need to scrape the die off from the rock or else you'll have an amonia spike in your tank. If you already have livestock(fish, snails, anything other than rock) then I would scrub the rock with a tooth brush or scrub...

ty on the feather duster id's. any other guesses what that other thing is? i know the pic is fuzzy but it looks like the staulk or a root and somethin comes in and out of it if scared. Ideas?

I think it's aiptasia but not like other pics I've seen online and in other tanks. If I stick anything close to any of these creatures...they retreat back into the live rock...but the pic with the longer tree-root lookin thing...the root doesn't move, just the harry somethin that comes out of...

wouldn't that lead to overfeeding the other fish in the tank? my sleeper goby is already shye so it'll be impossible to have him come to my hand for food. i've had him for 2 days and he hasn't sifted much of the sand. I think i'll keep feeding the tank every other day until the sand is sifted...

I have a 55g that's been established for over a year now, with 2 percs, a clean shrimp and a chromis. I had a diamond goby that was bigger than normal i'd say, about 4 inches and ate constantly! Well my diamond goby died about 2 weeks ago...i'm guessing due to lack of food. With this sleep...

i think i'll be on the safe side and acclimate both.....rather be safe than sorry. :) thx

Piper01 How much lighting would I need for a 90G FOWLR tank. If I need allot would compact Flourescent or Metal Halide be better? You don't need a lot of light for any FOWLR tank. The more watts the light is the easier it will be to grow unwanted colors and aptasia in your tank. I would most...

Dr. Fosters and Smith sends a free catalog-type book every month with latest products and stuff, but not sure of a good magazine u can pay to get a subscription for. gl

1st Question: Does all forms of lifeform need to be acclimated into a new tank? I'm about to buy some turbo and mexican turbo snails for my 55g. I heard that i wouldn't need to acclimate because the snails can take in water whenever they want to vs. a fish that's always breathing in water...

Thank you all so much for your input. I wouldn't be wanting anything bigger than a 35-50 gpd unit because this will only be in use for a 55g for quite some time. I'll be sure to look up this thread when I get home and do some research on the exact parts I need and the best bang for the buck...
