    new duncan

    I had success tonight /cheer... guess they were just acclimating. Took some silverside and held it at its mouth for about 30 seconds one of the heads did not really want a big chunk but the other 2 ate them up fast.. Had to kinda block the flow with my hand so they can get a good hold of the...

    new duncan

    I have been trying to feed it mysis and little chunks of silversides. Have not held it at its mouth though.. Only turkey baster but dont really stick. It is in medium flow.. Would think it would not open up all the way if it did not like the flow? Dunno tho should I move it? Gonna try again tonight.

    Cool, after looking at a couple pics of hydroid colony's I agree. I am not going to worry about all the sponge everywhere but I have read mixed reviews about the hydroids. Should I kill em? My zoas dont seem to mind them and my candycanes seem fine also.

    T-5 with fan

    The way it is set up is the fan is built in the fixture. The fan does not turn on and off. It will come on when you plug it in the wall and turn off when you unplug it. So I have my lights and my moonlights on a coralife digital timer. But have no room for the fan to plug in. So had to use a...

    I have 4x54W light on my tank. It has a fan you know that blows out hot air.. Now I cannot for the life of me get the timer to turn on the fan same time as lights. If the fan for the lights does not turn on till 10-25 mins after the lights is that ok? Seems it is time to convince the wife I NEED...
