He doesn't even have enough light for an anenome in the first place.

In my opinion the 2x65W setup would be enough as would the IceCap fixtures. Ricordea does not need an awesome amount of light and I think you would be on overkill if you put a halide on that small of a tank. I am actually putting the Coralife 130W fixture on my 29G soon but I am going to add a...

Saginaw here as well.

I just recently setup a 29G saltwater tank (December 27th exactly) and I was wondering if I could transfer a carbon filter cartridge from my already established 15G that has been setup for a year now to maybe help with my cycle for the 29. The 29G has aragonite sand for the substrate that was...

ok GOOD! I was really not going to be happy if I hand to take it all out and do something different. Thanks for the reply.

I just pruchased a 30 lb. bag of CaribSea sugar-sized Aragonite sand for my new 29G saltwater tank I am setting up. I placed half the bag in the tank two days ago before realizing that I should have rinsed it so I rinsed the other half and placed it in the tank. The bag says it does not need to...

I was just wondering about this mainly because I am going to put a canopy on the tank and I'm not sure if the canopy will fit over the mounting legs without some kind of altering. But, things can be fixed to fit. :wink:

Are mounting legs necessary? Are you supposed to suspend your lights up from the water a certain distance? I think I am going to get a Coralife CF fixture. Is it okay to sit the fixture right on the top plastic framing of the tank or do I need to buy mounting legs?

* Would either of you recommend a good brand or certain fixture to go with for the T5 VHO lights? * Also, would I eventually be able to transfer all of my stuff from my 15G into the new 29G? This includes corals, live rock, snails, hermit crab. How long would you recommend for me to wait...

I was very surprised when I saw everybody's feedback just now. Thank you all for inputting on this. I think I am going to go with the Coralife 130W CF fixture for lights. I was also thinking about adding a Coralife T5 fixture that would add about 36 watts. Does anybody have any say on this? 1...

I have had a 15G saltwater tank for almost a year now and I am ready to setup another SW tank. I am posting this just in hopes for people to maybe scan over it and make sure everything I am doing is right. The 29G tank is 30" long, 18" tall, and 12" wide. I numbered and underlined all my...

I recently (9 days ago, the 29th of November) bought a small piece of rock with about 20 button polyps on it. But to this day, only about half of the polyps are actually opening? Does anybody have a suggestion on what to do? The guy at the lfs told me I needed to feed them phytoplankton. I...

So when I do replace this bulb, do I have to worry about killing or "sun-burning" any of my corals with the new light? Also I previously bought some button polyps from my lfs. I got a rock with about twenty polyps on it, but only half of them are opening up. If I get this new bulb will they...

I have had my light going for 11 months now. It is a 65W Coralife Compact Fluorescent fixture. They seem to be pretty popular at least in my area. My question is when should I replace the fluorescent bulb? I read the other day that fluorescent bulbs only have 50% of their intensity after being...

Well, while this topic is sort of still going, I got another question. I just bought a few mushrooms on a small piece of live rock. They have been in the tank for a few hours now and I am noticing these very long, skinny, clear-white-like worms/tentacles that are extending out of the rock. They...
