My experience with them is they usually take a couple/few days to get used to their new homes. After that, they should be out all the time. It...
I'm sure Hunter will chime in soon anyways, but I don't see any compatibility issues. As far as your female, I personally don't see any signs that it...
Not a decision to me :) Controller all the way.
The second looks like a ball anemone. I have found them to be harmless. I am not sure what the first one is though.
LOL, please never refer to it as my sweet spot haha. But as mentioned, only increase by 5%. I have completely bleached corals by raising intensity...
Tri-color Acro looks very similar (brown/purple, with green polyps), but is more readily available in case you can't find the Garf Bonsai.
Assuming the tank is suitable (large enough, a sandbed, and completely covered), I would suggest adding a Halichoeres Wrasse.
I use Aqualifter pumps for my ATO's. Nice and slow flow rate, pretty quiet, and cheap.
Is the area dead already? It could be trying to get at some algae growing on it. Otherwise, there are very few truly 100% reef safe Blennies. I have...
You might be a reefer if your 2 year old daughter can name 75% of the fish on Divers Den each night :)
Once your corals are growing nicely, show good PE, and have good coloring. Don't increase once you get there, as you will end up bleaching. Yes,...
Wonderful tank! Congrats to you for getting your tank to a great point, and looks awesome to boot :)
Cheryl summed it up. Lower the intensity using the fixture or height. Increase very slowly over the course of a few weeks. Don't go too high either....
Regarding your CUC, in case this wasn't mentioned, I would wait quite a bit before adding any additional members. You really don't have much for the...
I would say average for Blood Red Shrimp is $25, and $50 for the RBTA bought from a local reefer, $75 from a LFS. Either way, its in the range so go...
I think you have a different link in mind Cheryl, but here is one for now: http://www.lionfishlair.com/hitchhiker/hitchhiker.shtml
Not that I don't support buying locally (I actually buy as much as I can from LFS), but I would not buy a light today. Go and see some, let the LFS...
That light is not sufficient for almost any coral :( I would not buy or add any more corals until you upgrade to a new fixture.
Any chance a fish or invert tried to steal the food from it? I would suspect crabs or shrimp...
Did you dip them before putting them in your tank? I didn't notice any, but any chance you have some Zoa Eating Nudibranches? Take a close look....
