Ok, Im not familiar with LED's, but would guess that they should be fine. There are numerous species in the following groups that have some vibrant...
I hate to say it, but I don't trust ebay at all for aquarium equipment. IMO you are better off looking for a good used light rather than taking your...
Yes, but only if it isn't overgrown (i.e.- strands of green hair algae)
Nice work! The only other thing you want to keep in mind is that the Blue Leopard Wrasse is considered to require expert care, so you will want to...
Sorry for your loss. I just had a peppermint shrimp die on me too. I'm thinking it was similar- bad molt.
I'd say the coral is some type of monti, but it looks like it is "going down hill"

Hmmm... sounds like a tempting snack if the shark ever got the munchies. Personally, I would avoid the potential problem altogether, but ultimately...
I've got tell ya- I can't see any detail as to what it might be...
+1 to trusting John. The only other thing that you may want to add is some blue leg hermit crabs. I've found them to be great scavengers and very...
What size tank do you have and how heavy did you want your CUC to be? Also, this should be a new thread, so that it doesn't keep showing as new...
What type of water are you using for your changes?
