I intend on lettig everything cycle for quite some time, and I'd put inverts in before and fish or corals. My main goal with this tank would be a "local fauna" display. Plus, I could say, "I caught those" instead of "I bought those".

I am buying an 80g tank and want to build a reef in it. I am starting from a dry tank. I dive and have to make special arrangements to harvest LS. I've read up on harvesting my own fish (it seems easy enough), but I think that can wait for now. If I bring up 2 or 3 five gallon buckets...

I know a few Gulf divers, I'll ask them what the lay of the sand looks like.. I seem to remember it being relatively silty... But that may just have been a bad bank from a renourishment.

Ok, not a hogfish... Royal Gramma.... Looked close... And its at least 3" now... But, I'm going to check my other LFS for peppermint shrimp for my problem.

This site says 3-5 inches.. I don't know.... I'm still pretty new to this.. I've done a lot of reading up on setting a tank up.. but not so much on fish species. Thats what I am going to be doing while I cure my 55 gallon tank starting in a couple months.

I am a diver in SW Fla, No problem getting to anything < 90 feet for me. What would be the best place to harvest my own live sand (LR isn't an option, not legal to harvest) ?? I have dived Jupiter reefs - 85' and all through the Lower Keys. Haven't done much Gulf diving, no viz... I fugure...

I also live on Gulf Coast, but I am Scuba certified. The link provided above gives the best guidance on tropical collection in Florida. You should also check w/ local office to see if there are any areas with collection restrictions (Usually State Parks or Rec Areas) I plan on doing most of my...

First, I can't answer that (yet)... Second, you just asked the exact same question 15 minutes ago in a different post.. Chill dude.. This isn't a very high traffic board... You could always bump your previous post too. (New here, but old to message boards)

Yeah.. Aiptasia... (Re-read the Hitchhikers sticky thread...) I wish I had a pic.. They're pretty heavy on the top level LR. I may just treat the rocks they are heaviest on separately after the move. Peppermint shrimp you say... How many for 20Gal tank? To bad my LFS is herbivore only...

I am buying an established 20gal tank. 2 Clowns w/ Rose Bubble Tip and a Spanish Hogfish. Lots of LR, but it is currently experiencing a glass anemone infestation. I have not moved tank yet from original location (next weekend I will be) and I was wondering if anyone had advice to get rid of...
