    Anemones

    I bought the bulb seperately. I believe it is an 8000k or 10000k. I will not be home until the weekend so I can not check. How would that fair?

    Anemones

    The tank has been running for about 2 yrs and I changed to sand about a month ago and the water conditions are good. I do not have the light you speak of. I am a college student and bought my light from a saltwater store. It is for saltwater fish, plants, and inverts. It is from the aqua-glo...

    Live Sand

    I recently changed my crushed coral to sand in my 55G. I have live rock and was wondering how long it usually takes for sand to become live? Also, does anyone have any suggestions to speed up the process if there is a way? Thanks

    Hang On Skimmer = TOO MUCH air in my tank...

    I have that same problem so one day I decided to try and put a Infant sock over the output and sure enough it worked. Just be careful and watch to make sure it isn't flowing over the back of the tank. It takes a few minutes to get it right. Another thing I did was put foam in the sock...
