I also worry a little about my powerheads. I have 3 Hydor Koralias, I dont see anyway to put anything over them to stop an anemone from getting sucked in since their intake is huge. Any suggestions?

Its really funny watching these 2 acclimate, one of them is a little bigger than the other, he has been doing alot of the bullying, a little bit ago the smaller one finally started pushing back, it went up to it and did a few very rapid shakes and you could almost tell the big one was a little...

Do you all think I have a good shot of my clownfish hosting the new BTA? How long does it take for them to usually start hosting? Thanks

Thanks again. I started neglecting my old tank, had it for 3 years and was my first tank. I had 260 watts or power compact lighting, usa satellite or something like that. One ballast went out about a year ago and I never fixed it. My new tank has a 400 watt MH Hamilton reef lighting, he seems to...

Thanks for all the help. This is a new tank I just set up about a month ago, used a little living sand and about 60 lbs of established rock. parameters have been excellent. I did have a condi anemone from my old tank that I transfered over. Its a bleach white, almost translucent but acts just...

Im looking into what additives and supplements I will need for my tank. Just finished setting it up yesterday, Im expecting a very short cycle if it cycles out all, used alot of living rock from established tank and also some living sand from same tank. I will be keeping all types of corals. Im...
