    My Domino found my anemone...wait, what?

    I have a white (could be bleached - that's how I bought it anyway) anemone that has purple spots on the tips of its tentacles. The anemone came from the northwestern coast of the Dom. Rep. I have 3 damsels in my tank. My newest one (1 week old) sleeps on the anemone's tentacles. During the...

    odyssea MH any good?

    I'm worried about the bulbs as well. I just think that I would probably change to 10000K bulbs and that would mean adding about 120.00 to the bill.

    Arrow crab question

    I had one and what a character! They are very amusing creatures. Mine didn't get along with a cleaner shrimp but that was about it - he managed to cut (shorten) about 3 of the shrimps antennae. One thing though, before feeding my anemone, I fed him first because he would climb on the anemone...

    Nova Extreme T-5 for reef tank?

    Hi all. What do you guys think of the "Nova Extreme T-5 Fixtures w/Lunar Lights (48" -432 watts)" for 75gal. reef tank (21" tall)? I would like to keep in my tank soft corals and anemones. Would this lighting set-up be sufficient? Would hard corals and clams thrive under this fixture? Thanks.

    Best output per watt lights?

    That's what I don't get about lunar lights. On a moonless night, the ocean is pitch black - 30'. So wouldn't sea animals be used to darkness? Why would they get stressed?

    Best output per watt lights?

    So two 150 MH shold be enough for my tank? Considering that it's 21" deep? Of course, I'll put the more sensitive animals closer to the lights. Would I need actinics as well? And what is the function of those small lunar lights? I read they help induce spawning and night viewing. Thank you.

    is this normal for emerald crabs

    I got an emerald a week ago and it lives behind/under an anemone that rests on a rock. Sometimes the emerald grabs the tentacles of the anemone and the anemone kind of deflates the tentacle until the crab lets go. I have 3 damsels and I'm sure that the crab is more worried about them than...

    Best output per watt lights?

    Ok I read all the info. Thanks. Could someone recommend some MH light set-up for my 48" x 21" x 18" 65gal. reef tank. I'd like to be able to have anything in it. I agree that the inhabitants are the defining factor when it comes to lighting, but I need a system that has a very efficient light...

    Curing natural driftwood?

    Hi all. I was at the beach and collected some LR for a 65gal. reef tank that I am putting together. I found a piece of driftwood about 3" x 4" 1.5" that looks like a piece of Swiss cheese. I put it in a bucket with the rest of the LR that I am curing. I took out some of the rocks because they...
