Are you looking for anything in particular? You seem to have something in mind.
I have to agree here too. Why plan to buy twice? If you know you will need a larger skimmer in the relatively near future, just buy a larger rated...
Are you sure? Rock from the Pacific is almost always less dense then Atlantic rock. A lot of the Atlantic/Florida rock comes from quarrys and is more...
Well, I'm sad to say that my flasher wrasse died. I just was looking for him at feeding time and saw a hermit eating him. He must have died last...
I think it would be ok and flow is always good, but I don't know what would work for you.
It's going to be really hard to put a powerhead in that tank. Most need a flat surface to attach to. You may be able to get a nano Koralia in there...
I really do not mean to beat this point, but I just became aware of the marine kit you can buy for these tanks. While what's included is better then...
I have to agree with the biorb comments above. I have read many comments concerning these tanks and the consensus seems to be that they aren't great...
I added corals about 2 weeks after my cycle had finished. I started with easy corals, zoas and mushrooms, gsp. I also added a clam at about week 6...
I haven't built a full hood, but do have acrylic covers to prevent my fish from jumping. To aid in air flow, I drilled numerous small holes in it. It...
I have never owned a Seaclone, but also have never heard a good thing about it. I would highly recommend an AquaC Remora HOB, very reliable and...
I agree with Steve, I don't think there's a set ratio of tank volume to skimmer capacity. It really depends on your bioload and what corals you have...
That was my first thought as well. It looks like it could be a monitipora eating or zoa eating nudibranch too, but I'm not positive on that.
I would place it high up then, I have mine under 6x54w Tek fixture and they are about 8" below the water.
My milleporas like high flow and high light, just like most other sps. What kind of lighting do you have?
It looks like a lobophylia with it's feeding tentacles out.
For an eight bulb fixture, I would suggest 5 blue bulbs, and 3 daylights. I would not use actinics unless you really want to. I find that they...
As for your algae issues, your tank probably never cycled as you didn't add any rock for 30 days, then immediately added two clowns and the tang....
I agree with Peredhil, you can if you want to promote faster growth, but it's not necessary and IMO, feeding doesn't really affect the color.
Welcome to 3reef, it sounds like you have a great attitude, so feel free to ask as many questions as you want. However, as the others have noted, I...
