His keyboard is broken And Damselluver, out of curiousity where are you located? Just so I know for intensity of sunlight.

I've heard that Crocea prefer rock to sand. Anyone else?

So really the only benefit is a reduction in nitrate with a possible increase of some fauna? Is it the same basic fauna as found in a fuge? And don't regular water changes get rid of most of your nitrate problems? So far I don't see any real positives to the deep sand bed. :shock: Why...

Ok, working on 40 gallon after the winter snow disaster and have been doing a little more reading, I pulled the live rock out to "recure" in a seperate system while I removed a "lot" of detritus from teh tank from all the die off. Here's my question, should I go to a deep sand bed? I keep...

well, got my water quality back, and added my first fish, a six line wrasse! I heard that they are good for parasite control of snails on clams, so we'll see how he does.

Yeah, when I get a house I will, but right now just renting while in grad school

Thanks everyone, I'm kinda glad that I had just started out, and hadn't put any corals, or my clams in! I lost power for a total of 2 very cold weeks (well, almost, more like a week and 4 days).

I basically live in Kansas City, MO, and with the recent winter storm, I just got my power back on! I lost all my fish (not that many, but still!) and some of my polyps seem to be on the verge of dying. A combination of temp and lack of water flow I'm sure. My mushrooms seem to be ok at this...

what would you guys use for circulation in a 40 gallon tank? 1.5 in hole drilled in, with same size return.

out of curiousity, how many pounds of live rock is that in your tank? (didn't know if you added more and we dont' have pics yet :) )

sorry to hear about that rigo

Well, you may be right doc, especially given this is a small tank, 40 gallons, I can do some decent aquascaping without the framing, mainly I was interested in trying the technique out so that when I get really big (210 tank that I'm saving for) I have some practice and can see if it's worth it.

good luck

you know, maybe you should just add a frogfish to angle and catch your wayward angel :)

Hey Doc, I got a suit and a regulator with tanks you can borrow, good luck
