    how old is your tank? it looks good. What kind of critters do you have in it? I like your feather dusters, very nice! What size is that tank/filtration/lighting do you use? are you looking into corals for colors or fish?

    its a 46 bow front that my neighbor helped me convert over. I have 5 turbow snails, bunches of smaller ones, about 10 crabs. I would love the corals however I can't decide what yet. I want something with bold colors. any suggestions

    Well there are so many corals with bold colors. Easy to sps like montiporas and birdsnests come in greens, reds, orange, and pink. Lps come in so many different colors it's unbelievable. I like acans for color though. Zoas are also real easy and very colorful.

    What kind of lights????????

    was this a used tank and had it ever had medications put into it? if it has or your not sure, you need to run cuprisorb in a bag in your system It absorbs left over meds and copper is one of them. If you don't and it starts to leach, you will have a bunch of dead snails, crabs and shrimp...

    with the fish you have, I'd start looking into beginner corals such as leathers and mushrooms, ricordia's are bright. and also zoanthids...they can come in wild combo's

    I have been looking, but haven't really found that WOW that I am looking for.

    I am not in a hurry anymore, I want things that flow. I just love the movement. Thats why I did the feather dusters. I enjoy sitting and watching them sway in the current. My goby is having fun with them too, he keeps putting sand all over them
