thanks!

that's what i am beginning to think. what is the best way to catch them since they are so small and fast? feed and hopefully scoop it up while it is eating? fish trap? <-- never used one, not sure how helpful it would be with the 6 line.

go figure. anything i can do to cut down aggression? i take it i'll have an issue with any other wrasse i put in there unless i take the 6 line out (like i'll be able to catch him in the first place HA). well crap. thanks for the help. any other comments/help would be very appreciated.

the tank is 100 gal (60"L) with a 50 gal sump/refugium. right now i have egg crate covering the openings. i thought wrasses were mostly compatible with each other? are there any other wrasses that might be more compatible?

so i had a coupon for the lfs and decided to pick up a mystery wrasse, a fire shrimp and 2 cardinals. everyone is doing great except for the mystery wrasse. it is being chased around and harassed by the 6 line i have in there. now i thought these 2 were compatible, but i guess now. will the 6...

i'm in the Redmond area myself. just finishing up the plumping for my 100gal reef tank (can't wait to get it filled!). There is also Denny's Pet World in Kirkland. not a lot of equipment but they have a ok selection of fish.

My 130w CF ballasts have gone out :( has anyone ever ordered from SuburbanReef.com? I can't seem to find any reviews on it. Anyone know of any other site with replacement ballasts for the outer orbit fixtures?

bump. sump/refugium is complete. almost time for lights. anyone?

currently setting up a 100g reef tank and found a appropriate 60" Current MH Outer Orbit fixture for a pretty good price. but sadly the ballast for the Dual Actinics has died. I am now thinking about selling that and setting up my own retro setup (x2 250w 10k MH, 2 130w Dual Actinic and some led...

I would like to do a mix of SPS and LPS. I was under the impression that most corals needed MH to grow properly. When a corals light level says "High" just how does that mean (same for moderate). do you have to use MH for "High" lighting needs?

so would something like the Current USA Outer Orbit 2x150w 10K HQI-MH w/ 4x54W T5 HO & 18 Lunar Lights, be enough for a 75 gal reef tank or would the 250w MH be a better choice? Is Current USA a decent light company to go with?

I am looking at the Large AquaFuge 2 Pro for my 75gal tank (using a CS90 overflow to feed it @ 600gph) but hear the skimmer included in it isn't so great. is it possible to replace that skimmer with a better one and still place the skimmer in the sump/refugium? now from what i have read, you...

wow thanks everyone for such quick responses. roka64 - thanks for the heads up about the pro vs regular. checked out the prices of local RO/DI systems and i will definitely be getting one off ebay. with all the different brands, i take it they all perform just about the same? fijiwigi -...

I have read that list, just wanted to know if the products that i have selected would do a good job. is the Aqua Clear 110 HOB filter enough to do the job? should i look at adding another HOB filter to help? or is it just a waste of time and should i go with a canister filter?

Hello everyone! so yesterday i found a new saltwater LFS in Bellevue (saltwater city). I was rather disappointed in the store (expensive, kind of snobby, etc). anyway, they made it sound like you have to go the sump route (especially on a 75gal tank). well my stand doesn't have a lot of room...
