My advice would be to start a FOWLR = Fish Only With Live Rock tank. From there you can move to a Reef tank when you feel ready. I started that way...
Don't get down :) I was just showing how I started with a scape I was kinda happy with & then really brought it to life. Yeah lights are expensive...
Yeah the corals really fill in the spaces, it's like night and day like the pic shows:
I'm always wanting to change things I guess we just get bored but lately I'm still happy with my U scape, been pretty much the same structure for a...
yes, twice a day & floss! +1 on what everyone said, diatoms come on quick, look like crap, but then will slowly dissapear on their own. It's a...
A cheaper method is to pay someone to take snap shots of the tank every min and send it to you on your laptop :)
I'm not sure if the OP is more wondering if this light will struturally fit on his tank or if the light will be good enough to support the tank,...
If you're hanging it, it's easier to make things work if something is smaller/larger. I would think it's best to buy to your tank dimensions if...
I swear that song sounded like it was from Transformers the animated movie.
Lord what a huge tank, beauty! Thanks for sharing! I'm feeling inadequate with my 55g now, thanks :)!
Yeah it would be nowhere near as good quality as Wes'. I love how you can zoom all around, very cool. Thanks Wes, just another thing I want that I...
First off, welcome to 3reef! Going slow is a very wise thing in this hobby so you're off to a good start. Yes, your tank will clear after the...
I actually just asked Wes the same thing, he was nice enough to let me know it's a standalone cam, but it's pricey @ $1400: Canon USA Consumer...
Very nice looking tank Wes, I love the "island" look! Awesome, just checked out the webcam, sweet.
@Siddique my fixture is a 5-bulb T5HO made my Aquactinics, puts out a perfect amount of light over a 55g. 2 ATI Blue +'s, 2 ATI AquaBlue, & 1 KZ...
Thanks much! I'm a little oblivious to what the K rating is on my ATI's and KZ, I know the AquaBlue's put out 12,000K. This combo of bulbs gave me...
thank you, I was just potty trained and felt I was ready to tackle SW fish-keeping, my parents are thrilled! @Mariman, there is no filter running...
Got my jawfish a few days ago, so far he is settled in a nice burrow. Comes out to eat and inspect, thanks for the input everyone!
hah, nice! These fish are sooo interesting to watch, I never thought I would be as entertained watching rocks being collected, it's hilarious.
I love harlequins, def one of the coolest looking inverts, almost got one but am unsure on if I could upkeep its starfish appetite consistently.
