    I have a 29 Gallon eclipse with only live rock, blood shrimp, Clown, Blue Tang and Royal Gramma. These are the only survivors of my ambitiously stocked tank. I've recently become a light sleeper and been bother by the sound of that filter at night. I've been contemplating putting the filter...

    My LFS found a retrofit kit for my tank; but it only has one 65watt bulb with both colours. Is 2 watts per gallon still to low then?

    Fleshy Coloured Corals Sick? Lighting?

    The Long term plan for the Tang is to swap it for some higher powered lighting. Seriously, I went to LFS yesterday and the guy tried to sell me different bulbs (a blue and i think a replacement white light); with same or lower wattage. Would this do anything for the colour? Note that most of...

    mushrooms broke off

    I have seen this happen. If you are picky about where the mushroom relocates too, maybe pick it up and set in an area with low circulation. It'll stay there if it likes it.

    Is my Blue Tang shy or dying?

    thanks everyone. I'm seeing more of this behaviour but have also seen more movement too. My Blue Tang now moves around the tank, picks at seaweed on a clip, and tries to nip at pellets that are falling or hit the ground. As Justin says they have small mouths and I see it actually take smaller...
