Thanks for the words of encouragement, guess I am just a little paranoid this being my first coral and all. Hopefully they will open up sometime this week. I'll let you all know.

This might belong in the begginer forum, but thought I would try here first. I finally decided to try my first coral. My tanks an oceanic 58, 60lbs of gulf-view coraline, Remora Pro skimmer, 2 MJ 1200's, a 4" DSB, and 96 watts of PC lighting (not alot I know). Cycle was finished after about the...

Het Steamboat....you've got mail.:D

This post doesn't have any thing to do with this thread...sorry. I just wanted to say hello to Steamboat. It is cool to see someone on the board from my area.:cool: What LFS do you use? I just started my tank 13 days ago. It is cycling with 60 lbs of Gulf-View uncured LR (58 gal. tank) and I...

Thanks for the fast reply! My LFS has a master test kit from Aquarium Pharmaceuticals that has PH, Ammo, Trite, and Trate, test kits for about 28 bucks. Guess I'll go pick it up tomorrow before my rock arives. 1 question tho.....what should my PH be during the "cycle"? Thanks again!

Some background. This is my 1st SW tank. I started setting it up over this last week-end. Its a 58 gal oceanic. Right now I have a 4" DSB, it is filled with water (SG @ 1.024), I have a Remora Pro skimmer on it and running, and I have 2 maxijet 1200's for circulation. I put the water in last...

My tank is a 58 oceanic. I am pretty sure the light (oredered it today so I don't have it in front of me to look at) is just one bulb. Here's where I got it from. <a href="http://www.***********.com/a_lt_pc_csl.asp?CartId=" target="_blank">http://www.***********.com/a_lt_pc_csl.asp?CartId=</a>...

I just ordered 60 lbs of coraline LR from gulf-view. I have also ordered a 96 watt PC hood with a 10,000k daylight and ultra actinic light. Is this going to be enough life to keep any of the cool hitchikers I recieve on Dales rock? Thanks in advance! :)

Thanks for the replies. I kinda thought my bio load would be pushing it, I might consider ditching the eel and going with a pygmy angelfish of some sort. Do I have enough water circulation? The PH's I have are rated at 270 Gal/hour. Didn't know if this was enough, should I add 1 more just to be...

Finally getting around to getting this thing up and running after about 4 months of study. Tank is a 58 Oceanic. I have a 4" DSB in it right now. No water yet, that will be this Friday. I have an Aqua c Remora Pro skimmer, Salifert Nitrogen cycle test kit, 2 Hagan 402 PH's, I have a Pro Heat II...

Rane, I see in your sig you are keeping a Volitan, and a Humu Trigger together. Do you have any problems with the trigger nipping at thew lions fins?? I have a zebra lion and was considering getting a picasso but the LFS told me triggers like to nip lions.....to death. Seeing you keeping the 2...

I have 50 lbs of LR and I want to promote a GOOD amount of corraline algea growth. I am in the cycling process atm. It will be a FO tank, no inverts, or corals. I have a 30 watt NO light right now. What kind of light, and how many watts should I get to promote good growth in my tank? Thanks for...

I have a 58 gal. Oceanic tank, 55 lbs LR, 4 in. DSB, Remora pro w/maxi jet upgrade. This a new tank that I am cycling right now. I want a Picasso Trigger but am concerned about tank size. I do plan on an upgrade in about 1 to 2 years to a 75 or a 90, then I will convert the 58 to a reef. The 58...

Thanks for the warm welcome and all of your opinions! :D I plan to add about 1 fish every 4 to 6 weeks until I am at my prefered stocking level of 3 to 4 fish. I really don't care about keeping a friendy community tank. My only concern was whether the trigger would outgrow a 58 too quickly...

Have been reading on the Picasso and it seems like having these fish in a tank with a live DSB isnt going to work. From what I gather they will kill all the critters in it? Anyone have any experience with a picasso living in a tank with a live DSB? Thanks for the replies! :)

I have been reading and researching for about 3 months now, and I am ready to take the plunge. :D I have an Oceanic 58 w/ stand, cycling. 55 lbs of LR, 4 in. DSB, Aqua C Remora Pro protein skimmer, 2 Hagan 402 powerheads, and a 30W florecent light that came with tank. Not running a sump by...
