I would agree that his displays are top notch. Probably the best SPS tanks I have seen in person. I just wish he would frag some of his corals....
I owned one and it is exactly like Peredhil says. Hard to keep due to daily feedings.
Nice frag. Where do you shop normally? I got some nice SPS frags from Extreme Reef. Just make sure to dip them very well. Lots of bugs.
I have: Canary Striped Yellow Tail The canary and striped won't touch algae. They hunt the rock all day for little critters. The Yellow Tail,...

A 150 watt ballast should run just over 1.2 Amps. Long ways away from your 15 Amp limit. A fan would be great. I have modded all my ballasts to...
ATO I wouldn't even consider it without one in your situation.
