That salinity is low - you want something more like 1.026. Are you measuring with a hydrometer or a refractometer? The hydrometers are good for...
When it's a "deal" to work 4 10 hour days this week and get jipped out of Christmas Eve pay!!!
I do not think the light will be intense enough to support SPS at the higher elevations on the rock. Even the closest I could get the corals to the...
What would everybody say is the hardiest of the tangs suggested? I do love Blonde Naso with those big lips, and Achilles are also quite dramtic, not...
Wait - are all of those fish in the BC? If so, that is way overstocked IMO. A sailfin tang needs a MIN. of a 120+ gallon tank even when a...

I will be in the same boat with the sugar sized sand. I will certainly only be adding one at a time. The plan is if the LPS/Softies start to take a...
With your plan and a little bit of luck I think you can do this!
Seano - it seems that even the ORA Mandarins are hit and miss with feeding. I think with a giant refugium like that, and having a tank setup for the...
That's an excellent point - one that my girlfriend made last week - and now that I am seeing it in writing - you may both well be right! I planned...
Thanks for all the kind words and advice on fish selections!!! I will keep everyone posted as this tank progresses!!!
