So I am on a business trip staying at the Best Western President Hotel and in the main lobby, they have a SW tank that roughly 400g. As I'm...
For example, they will take a big hammer coral with 10 branches and they will divide it up into 5- 2 branch frags. Typically a frag is between 3/4"...
For the vast majority- Craigslist. There are always a ton of people with frags for sale and at very good prices. Just search "Coral". I also deal...
It really comes down to whether you want to take the risk. You could get one that doesn't bother your corals, but then again it could sit there and...
Well, that is all personal preference on how much time, effort, and money you want to put into maintaining your tank. The typical progression that...
Well that's all my fish- 2 paired ocellaris clowns, yellow watchman goby, orchid dottyback, banghai cardinal, firefish. I have a 46g bowfront reef...
There are a lot of fish that are very active in that list, many of which don't hide at all. My banghai cardinal is always swimming around, as well as...
ATI and KZ make some awesome bulbs! I have a 4 bulb combo on mine right now with 2 blue+, 1 Aquablue, and 1 KZ fiji purple
Its always a back and forth debate. Keeping them off does help with algae blooms, but many people have them on and they are fine. It's more of...
+1 wait for the cycle to end then raise salinity since you don't want to do any water changes during the cycle. One other thing to make sure of is...
Heres a good start: Surgeonfish: Tang Fish, Yellow Tangs and other Surgeons These are all tangs that require a minimum tank size smaller or...
Yea, I noticed that too. You may be able to get a smaller species of tang, but as you know your hippo has to go at some point. Thats the one...
Yep very familiar with Widener. Anyway, have any thoughts on that fish list?
Possibly too much light and they are "melting". Try moving them lower in the tank or under an overhang. Mushrooms tend to not like too much light.
Sorry, yes API. Where'd you go?
Actually, I'm in Philly. For the tests, I recommend Salifert (expensive though) or even Red Sea. Try to avoid ATI, they are not very reliable.
I think you are just fortunate that you got one that only eats acans. The vast majority of angels are not reef safe as they do eat other corals,...
Yes, but make sure your water parameters are stable before doing so and allow for a minimum of 5-6" of space between them. BTW what part of Jersey...
Your best bet is to assume roughly 3 gallons/ inch of full grown fish *as a rough estimate*. Some people say 5 gallons per inch, but I think that is...
You should defnitely spread out the fish, one/ month, so that the bacteria in your tank has time to adjust to the new bioload. As for corals, yes...
