Yes.
It looks like it is on its way to death. Check all of your water parameters. I would leave it at the bottom half of the tank and leave it in there...
Try finding a reef club forum in your area. I am not sure if there is one associated with this web site but I know there are some with...
XMs are good quality bulbs. You get some of the 420nm light through your MH's. I usually go with a little more 460nm bulbs than I do with 420nm. If...
If you are thinking of going with T5s try to buy one that has individual reflectors rather than one large reflector. You will save some money on...
I turn my actinics on at 8:00 am and off at 9:30 pm. I stagger my Mhs 1st one on at 9:00 and the 2nd one on at 12:00. 1st one off at 5:00 and 2nd one...
I use a 10k on one side and a 12k on the other of my sps tank. I do run 460nm actinics for the color. I turn the actincs on longer than the MHs...
I dont use anything on my sump. Just use a top quality skimmer.
I 2nd the bottom idea. That is wear I keep mine and they do very well there. They definately dont like strong currents so a remote spot from your...
Anemones move around until they find a place they like. Then they usually stay there for long periods. In my larger tank my bubble tip anemone has...
That is normal for the clown fish. Your 2nd anemone will most likely recover from the split. I have had them look really bad after a split and...
I used your design and caught my angel within an hour. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I 2nd that they are the easiest. I have also found that I can not kill an SPS called brittle coral or horn coral. They are easy to grow.
I have had 2 sets of them and they are about 1 year and a half old (maybe older) and still working. One is on my sons 72 gallon and one is on a 75...
The time frame for starting SPS is the older the set up the better most say a year or so is best. I have seen people do it sucessfully at 6 months...
You should start out your light at about 15 inches above the tank and gradually lower it to 8 -10 inches. The change from pcs to 400 watts is a very...
They are ok if you are trying to raise softies or Zoas or fish. They are not real good for LPS and not good enough for SPS.
The coralife needlewheel skimmer125 works pretty good and is not very expensive for a tank the sizes you are talking about. They all make some noise...
I like the mixture of t5s or VHOs and MH lighting. I start and end each day with VHOs and have a MHs come on later and turn off earlier than the T5s...
I have an 125 that is mostly sps. I suggest a light that has 2 175 metal halides or 250 metal halides. I would buy quality bulbs such as XM or...
