13 Should have been 14 (q2) but I hit the wrong answer Answers... You Scored 13 out of 15 This gives you a grade of B+. Very Good! You only missed a few Question 1 - Correct. Question 2 - Incorrect. Actual Answer was: Yellowtail Coris. The Yellowtail Coris has a distinct yellow caudal fin...

What salinity do they need to be kept at?

Well I just added 5 Chromis to my 125 and I really enjoy them. The place I purchased them sell them tank raised,and a fairly good size. They claim being tank raised really cuts down on their demise. Of course they were not as cheap as a regular Chromis. Shelled out $20.00 a piece,but if they do...

Who's got 1? I'm thinking about adding 1 to my 125 gal reef. I know they are considered non reef safe,but I'm more concerned about their personality. The Drs stateeaceful I may want a Mckoskers or Lubbocks Fairy wrasse in the future,or Red-Lined Wrasse My current residence's are: Chromis Yellow...

Originally Posted by Flower I replace my skimmer when it goes bad, and I replace my toaster when it goes bad…I know that any flux causes the GFCI to trip, I’ve lost power to my tank as well. I still think it saves lives and critters. There are no guarantees in life, but whenever we can tip...

Flower,just a note: A GFI is not something you just install and forget about. GFI's can become more sensative to minor variations in current over time and may need to be replaced. The neighbor found this out the hard way as he was just gone for a weekend and the GFI tripped for no apparent...

Thanks,now I'm afraid to stick my hand in my tank

Originally Posted by SCSInet Circuit breakers are designed to protect property where as GFIs are designed to protect life. Anyone who runs a tank without a GFI is playing a dangerous game. I agree. Then I play a dangerous game I guess if you have wet hands and are playing around with your...

Also I realized the fan comes on as soon as the lights turn on,adding to the total watts. I guess the only way I would know how many amps the fan draws is to unscrew the bulbs,but I'm sure it's low. As far as looking at the prior months bill,the electric company estimates 1 month then does a...

GFI outlets are usually used in bathrooms,kitchens & outside. They are there so you don't get a shock. Not needed to use for plugging stuff in for a fish tank.

Well after I posted I realized exactly what you are saying . I actually had the meter hooked up correctly ,and when the lights shut off the kwh showed 4.36 for the complete cycle. If my math is correct this should equate to $13.01 monthly Yes ? Now I still am a little confused because I have 3...

Ok. Here are the results and the math does not add up to me. I plugged in the killowatt meter before I went out. When I returned the lights had maybe been on for 1.5 hours. The readings were as follows: kwh = 1.29 w = 615-618 amps = 5.25 Volts = 118.7 Then when I switched back to kwh it read...

meowzer,I will say the 1050 is not overpowering. It seems rather gentle

Got 2 Allard Clownfish on 3-22 1 died on 3-25 The LFS will replace the Clown. Question is after this Clown being the King of the tank for the last 3 weeks,would I be chancing putting in another Clown ? Think they would fight? The current Clown does not bully the Chromis or Firefish,but has...

It was actual. Last month was estimated. I guess they go every other month. Still trying to figure out what the actual kwh is,as they have it broke down in every way. Comparing last year though,for April of 09 I used 913kwh vs April 10 using 1261kwh So does 348kwh hour sound like a average usage...

Originally Posted by SCSInet By my calculations, running the halides for 8 hours a day should cost about $16 a month in electricity, assuming a rate of $0.10/kwh. I had the same estimations,unfortunately the Electric Company must have thought differently. Originally Posted by SCSInet I...
