    xenia soft coral

    Xenia are pretty passive. They do excrete some toxin when agitated, which could be a concern in a small tank. All in all a pretty safe bet. They can spread like weeds whith the right parameters.

    Plate Coral and MH Lighting?

    It's definitely enough, depending on location it may be too much. I have a short tenticled plate under 400 watt 20k metal halides, at a depth of 20", but it is near the outside radius of the light and shaded a bit by a staghorn. I had originally put it under more direct light and moved it...

    Tropical Play Sand sucks so far...

    I couldn't agree with you more on the tropical play sand, unfortunately adding the other sand won't help much. It's probably best to let it settle a bit, after a while (months) it will become less of a bother. I've used several kinds over the years and I recommend silica sand blasting sand now...

    OT: How much beer is too much?

    Wow, I thought Christians and wine went together like cheese and crackers... wow, I bet Jesus would be dismayed to hear this. Anything less that four beers is a waste of money and your doctor shold know this - buy him a 6-pack, he needs to loosen up.

    1st post -1st tank...

    Nice tank. I like the aquascaping. I agree with bigmac on the sequence for your sand and on his comments about the source of the sand. There is no reason to rush now after being so patient.

    mandarin question

    Actually, I have seen what JB's saying work. as the blood worms come out of the baster they role in the current like they're alive. The fish, whose natural prey includes small worm, scarf it up. I used this to wean a scooter blenny onto dead food to supliment his live diet. I am not sure if it...

    mandarin question

    Hmmm, in the literal sense? Actually, poisonous sounds right to me (as in: if you eat it you're in trouble). Perhaps you're thinking of venomous., which is what I belive Lion Fish are.

    how much actinic to supplement my MH

    I think it would look great. I've always liked the combination and I think 150 watts of VHO would be plenty.

    92g Corner

    I decided early on in my design to go with a central single bulb and aquascape with that light source in mind. I built up the sides to form an inlet with the right side thick enough to build a dark cave area for my low-light corals. This coliseum architecture allowed one bulb to provide full...

    Adding fish to tank

    Be careful about adding anything that will compete with the mandarin for pods.

    mandarin question

    There aren't many things that will bother a mandarin. I wouldn't worry about your hermits, shrimp or fish bothering him too much (i have no experience with an arrow crab). The real issue is what do you have in your tank that will compete for it's one source of food. Crabs, especially a sally...

    92g Corner

    I know how you feel. I saw one and had to have one. Mine has been set up for a few months. I wish I had a decent camera or better skill at taking pictures so it would show the depth and demensional views you get with the tank. This tank is a 92 corner with a single 400 watt, 20000k MH light...

    A question about sumps

    A couple of gallons a day... and I agree with Kip, it's good for the tank and allows me to add more kalkwasser.

    Coral with 8 fingers and a long thin stock?

    They look like xenia to me as well, I defer on the type.
