Where do you get the skimmer? Your LFS can order them. www.dutchaquarium.com is the Manufactor.

While some use silica I don't perfer it. You want a Ca. Carb. based sand. Like SouthDown, Yard right, Carabian Sea, ETC.

I have to agree that enviroment plays such a big role in this area. Placing corals of diffrent regions in the same tank may not work for both. {reason I have so many tanks, I couldn't keep everything I wanted, had to change the enviroments of each tank to meet the needs of the corals in it.}...

The BX 1 is suppose to run upto 300 gal tank. But I usually run the BX-1 up to 150 gal and after that the BX-2 upto 300 gal and over 300gal I like the BX-3. The DAS BX series skimmers are great. they will practacly out perform all most any skimmer. JMO and JME. I use to work for DAS. 8)

I have this coral under 2 x 400w MH about 8" under the light. As stated above stage the coral to the light buy starting far away allow it to adjust and start the move up.

My vote is for the Cleaner shrimp I love these guy's I have 5 through out the house.

Hello!

Is It possible? Sure it is. But you will find that the LR will stabelize the system and run more smoothly. Usually will allow better stocking levels as it will help with ammo, and Nitite conversion. JMO Also yes you can add LR that is LFS fully cured without any problems. Thats how I stocked my...

Your right the MIn! size 55 gal according to the books. But I also agree that it may be a little sm. for a full grown Lion.HTH

Test strips are fine for a pool or spa. But for our Tanks they just are not accurate enough to keep up. IMO & IME

Yes But with out water changes you will need to dose additives all the time for essential elements. I choose water changes. Lees expensive and keeps the tank from becomeing chemicaly dependent. JMO

Yes the anenome packs a powerful sting, Killing and hurting corals along the way. Most anenome will travel because it is unhappy, or there has been a change in it's surroundings. Usually if tank remains stable with very little change they will settle in a happy spot remain for long periods. My...

Ditto!! :wink:

Thr Star you are discribing sound like the Red Fromia star. they are listed as reef safe. But they are very difficul to keep. Expert only or advanced reef keeper.

Mine is setting dirctly under my 400mh at the top of the rock structure. It's about 13" from the light source. I have very heavy current thoughout my SPS tank and so I would say pretty turbulent waters, just not direct current. Mine also took about 5 days to extend her polyps. I have had it...

I posted at the RAG but thought I would here as well. I have a frag of that and it was givin to me as Pocillipora damicornis also.

IMHO, the seahorse tank is the most difficult marine tank to keep. They require the best quality water conditions possible. But as RR stated the CB ponies are a much hardier than WC and are all ready trained to eat frozen Mysis. www.seahorse.org is your best BB for these and has great research...
