Sorry---I didn't think to include it...I've got an 18W PC on my refugium. As far as the anenome, I didn' t realize that he would need so much light. My LFS just said that if I didn't have super intense light that I should feed him once a week or so. What does this mean...do you think he'll...

Getting ready to build my first sump and I wanted some quick advice. I'm building it with a 29 g glass and just siliconing in glass baffles. The dimensions are: 18" tall, 30" long, and 12" deep. I have an overflow box that uses two "U" shaped siphon tubes draining into a center chamber that...

I just added a maroon clown to my 36 about a month ago and he's doing really well. I have a Dwarf lion that is about twice his size and a 6 line wrasse that's a little smaller...all perfectly cordial with one another. He actually seems to get a long really well with my wrasse; they're usually...

I recently started setting up a 36 gallon bow front. Right now I just have an Emperor 280 and a penguin 100 on it with about 35 pounds of LR. I've been reading up and really like the idea of a DIY sump and I think I'd like to upgrade. My first real question is will it allow me to stock more...

Little buddies are goig to shack at at a friend's house....Maybe I'll bring them back and introduce them to their new digs in 6 weeks or so. Sad to see them go but its for the best. On another note...the biospira that I added seemed to be doing the trick...ammonia levels dropped to nothing...

Thanks again everyone. I've added the biospira to my 5 gallon and I have a friend with a 20 G tank that he keeps cycled for PWC and emergency quarantine (says he's only had to use it for beat up fish, not sick--no copper). So my current plan is to let him foster care my clowns while I cycle...

Thank you one and all! I should have my new tank set up by friday. Until then, I have enough SW on hand to do 20% PWC everyday. I haven't done one yet today and my ammonia is at .7 right now...nitrites .5....about the same as last night. But what I'm gathering from you all is that things...

I'm scraping together everything I can right now and I'll just have to survive on Ramen noodles for the time being to make up for my irresponsible pet ownership... I've already ordered another 20 lbs of live rock, a new filter, and a heater which should be here in about a week. I'll pick up...

Well....for starters thanks for the quick replies. I have a test kit and have tested twice so far (once before and once a two days after the fish were added). PH, Amonia, Nitrite and Nitrate levels are all still where they should be or only slightly above...the only thing to go up was the...

I just inherited a little bow front 5 gallon tank from a friend and followed what I fear may be some poor advice. For starters: I have since been told that 5 gallons is way to small for a SW tank. Also: I was told that if I purchased LR and LS that I didn't really have to wait before I put...
