I would go with a small yellow or a Kole tang. Definately do not waste your money on a powder blue. They are very expensive and will stress out in a tank under 100 gallons. I made this mistake in the past with my 75 gallon tank. I wanted a power blue so bad that I ended up buying 3 different...

my Vlamingi is definately my favorite

Hello everyone, I am back. Have not been on Living reefs in a while. Since I have last posted I have gone bigger (tank that is). I went from a 75 gallon tank to a 210 gallon tank. I love it. Looking to buy some more sps coral. As I said earlier it is a 210 gallon reef ready tank. Black...

try some live fish. That might tempt him. Get some little fresh water guppies and put them in the saltwater tank with him. They usually will go crazy casing them. and the fresh water fish will last a little while in the saltwater and will slow down long enough for the clown to catch them...

Have to go with Gooseman October

when I said fine. I meant Fan. sorry

You will be suprised what corals you can have with a pc. I would recommend different zoos, mushrooms, some leathers, different polyps. I would use the following light scedual. Blue lights on from 12pm till 2pm by themself (simulate morning). White lights come on at 2pm till 10 pm. (8...

As many of you already know. I am going to upgrade to a larger tank. I am pretty Illiterate when it comes to wet/dry filters and sumps. I was wondering, do i need to have a wet dry and a sump, a sump by itself? or the wet dry by itself. Do sumps work as a filter in itself? I was flippng...

I am going to do it. I am going to upgrade to a bigger thank. Slowly of course, my wife will kill me if I run out tomorrow and buy a new set up. So I plan on going out and buying it piece by piece over the next several months. Here is what I am planning. I would like some recommendations on...

I would say it was a rookie mistake, but Ive been doing this for about 5 years or so. I guess I can say I am a Metal Halide rookie (yehhhhh, thats the ticket,Iam a MH rookie). I have to admit I was not thinking and let the idea of having MH make me do bad things (hahaha).

I didn't acclimate anything to the lights. At the time of the switch I didn't have a lot of coral. Some zoos, pulsating zenias, a carpet anenome for maroon clown, and 3 leathers. The only thing that lived was the carpet anenome that sits on the bottom right of the tank. He is now white...

Man! First Bitterwine or Bifferwine , now Classcages for glasscages Man, have to stop drinking before I post. hahahaha

sounds a little high. check craigs list. Go to classgages.com. They sell new setups 75 gallon drilled, 20 gallon acrylic sump, bulk heads, and stand for $688 (brand new). YOu can get power compact lights new for about $200. OR find some used ones on ebay for about 100 or so. I just sold a...

Think I will go with the 120. Until that is not enough and I have to go bigger and upgrade the lights. My wife is going to kill me. hahaha
