When replacing b-balls with LR do youreplace by weight? Thanks Rex

Hi Grahm, That would be just great, I look forward to you looking at the tank and making some suggestions. I don't really trust anything I've heard from our LFS and I think you know who I mean. BTW, what temp do you keep your tank at? An d where are you getting your top off water and saltwater...

Hi Grahm, I am printing out your last post and I will save it. I am going to start saving for those lights. They are expensive, however, without strong lighting and clean water you just limit yourself so much from many of the pleasures of this hobby. Thanks for taking the time to write the...

Hi Grahm, 600 watts in a 29 gal is a no for clams? Wow, how much light do you need? Rex

Hi Grahm, I would like to get them all. And a clam and an anoneme, however you spell it. The more I get into this the more I like the reef stuff. Aquatic outlet steered me wrong many times. I don't know why I keep going back. I would like the ice cap metal halides. I understand that I will need...

Hi Grahm, Thanks for the info. I do believe you are right. When the blue tang gets bigger and you get another tank I'll give you one. Come over and look at my tank set up one day. I would like your advice on lighting and tank temp. Are you using icecap fans? I now have a computer fan blowing...

Can I have more than one firefish in the tank? It is a 150 reef

can I get another clown and another perc? It would be very difficult to remove one clown. Thanks Rex

Thought I bought 4 percs for my 150 but LFS gave me 3 percs and one clarks. Did not notice until they were in. 2 percs seemed to have mated and chase the third away. Clarkey is territorial and chases the third perc. Poor fellow is always getting chased. Any suggestions? Thanks, Rex

I have a retrofit light: 4x55watt 2 ballast system has a silver reflector. Does the reflector help much?

I have a 150 gal FOWLR would like to do some easy corals. LFS sold me some lights total 220 watts. I know I should have more but I bought them befor I discovered this site. What can I grow? Also the lights are compact Flourescents made by Jalli. 2 ballasts 2 white lights and 2 actinic

I had to take my tank apart but I will try this next time. Put a plastic bottke in the water with a quarter size hole in it. put food, perhaps brine shrimp in, lower the bottle and let the fish swim in. also attach a string to the bottle. When the fish swims in lift the bottle out. Good luck

Any recommendations for the best LFS in the greater Los Angeles area? Thanks, Rex

Great ideas guys. Thanks for the advice. I live in Los Angeles.

Well you won't want to hear this but the only way I got those pesky damsels, 6 of them recommended by LFS, was to take out all the LR. Then I want to home depot and had a piece of plexiglass cut to the inside dimension on the tank and it has to be pretty close because those fish can squeez...
