I have the mud, it works great!

Spend the money, get the right lights.

In the absence of a wave maker, is there a way to get random flow? Thanks

What's the worst thing that can happen? Someone gets eaten? That's life in the ocean.

I have both a dersa and a croceca clam under 250 watt 20k bulbs.

A colt coral would be a good call. Mushrooms and Zoa's are also pretty easy. I would also consider Acan Lords or Blastos. A Sun coral would be good too. I think these are good choices because you can feed them easily, they are not completely photosynthetic.

Sponges!

I agree. SPS need MH lighting. I too have seen several Monti's under PC's do well, but that is about all I've seen do well. I think, right now, you don't have enough light for any SPS. You really need five to eight watts per gallon. Depending on the depth of your tank, you need more intense...

I use what's called a "KOLD STERILE" unit. It is not quite as good as RO/DI, but it flows at 4 gallons per minute. It removes everything except phospahates. This is easily solved by placing a phospahte remover in the third chamber. Under no circumstances should you use tap water. There is...

Xenia needs iodine and flow. Make sure they have plenty of both.

My perculas eat anything I put in the tank... including my fingers! Aggressive little monsters!

Hello all! Does any one have any experience with an eel in their reef tank? My nephews think an eel would just be the greatest thing ever. Is this just a bad idea period? What are the risks? Below are a couple pics. Fish: Yellow Tang, 2 LG Perculas, Royal Gramma, Arrow crab, Your...

Just keep your SPS mid to high in the tank. You really need 250 for 24 inches. So, keep your SPS a bit higher. Good Luck!

Marty from Wild America would be proud of your photo! Sorry for the loss.

Get some phosphate remover in the system. You may consider five 10%-15% water changes over the next two to three weeks. I would use purified water. RO water is always a good idea.

Check out great site but are in fact a cometitor of SWF.com . The have GREAT seascapes.

Looks like a Colt to me too

Hello all. I have a flower anenome that's decided to plant itself in the middle of a beautiful Zoo colony. How can I remove it? I cant seem to pull it off. Can I snip it off with scissors? Should I pull the whole rock out of the tank and torture it with a lit cigarette :hilarious ...

If this is an established tank, I would clean or replace all prefilters then clean the sump. If you have junk in the sump, its a nitrate haven. Clean it out. In fact, remove all your bio balls and put in a skimmer. Good luck.
