Just curious, how did you acclimate the coral once you got it? If the salinity of the water at the LFS was around 1.025 and yours was 1.021 it very...
Awesome setup! This is exactly the plan I have for my next tank in the "next house."
This thread is hilarious as my wife was just talking about it tonight with me. I got a good 6k in the 90 gallon reef tank now and she is expecting a...
Different salt mixes a little differently. I use Red Sea Coral Pro salt and need to use a little over cups of salt per 5 gallons to get 1.026. Just...
What do you want to keep? If you want to do a SPS heavy tank, I would do 1 MP40 and 1 MP10, otherwise probably 2 MP10's. Vortechs are amazing btw......
I believe you answered your own question =). You may need some light if you have some corals on the rock that you want to keep alive, but I would...
I was also thinking a nice peaceful wrasse. They have been known to jump, however, so you might want a lid if you don't have one already.
My candy cane looks exactly the same at night or sometimes after I feed the tank. The tentacles are so nice to look at!
Very nice! I'm going to have to get me one now... I know just the spot! lol.
A simple HOB filter with maybe a powerhead works great. Keep it bare bottom for easy cleaning and throw in a few PVC pieces so the fish can hide.
Very nice score! I would get some as well, but I think my wife would kill me as we have a child on the way!
I like the Radions or the AI Sol's as well. Quite pricey, but very capable of keeping anything under them.
A good tang for that size tank would be a yellow eye kole tang or a tomini tang. I personally like the yellow eyed kole tangs, but that's just me.
This sounds like a good idea to me. A great way to kill the aiptasia is to either using boiling water or saturate a cup of water with kalkwasser and...
Could you post a pic? Is the tube that it is coming out of white? If so, it is nothing to worry about. Hydroids usually spread like wildfire (at...
Yep, that's exactly what my candy cane's feelers look like. They are indeed very visible and very pretty imo. Mine will even show the tentacles...
FYI, the picture seems to be broken. However, to feed a candy cane, wait until lights out and you should start to see the feeler tentacles come out...
Phosphates would be my first thing to check as well. If this is good, it may not be getting enough light. Where is it located in the tank now?
Looks like red coralline algae to me as well. I have some red coralline that looks exactly like that on a rock that my GSP's are on.
I believe he was referring to getting something like a kole or tomini tang.
