Hey Guys, I'm starting the build very soon and have a few questions that I'd love some advice on. 1) Do I need a HOB filter or any filter at all? 2) Hows the Koralia 900 Nano for flow in this kind of tank? (It does about 900lph or 245gph) 3) How soon can I add my feather dusters and Scolly...

Hey Guys, its been a while. Hope everyones well. I took a break for a while but I'm back now with a few things that are set to change. First though I'm gonna bring everyone up to speed. The tank was doing great. No worries. Then I lost all three fish in a month and heard the dreaded...

Hey all, Antics in my tank are interesting so when I caught my Scolly eating a bristleworm for the second time I wasn't surprised. I have pictures for you soon (posting from an un-uploadable location) of the second event. But since he clearly like them, I'm gonna feed him them, 2-3 times a week...

Hey guys, I'm sure you all knew my Sixline (having frequently advocating them here). Sadly his time came (I think) having not seen him for 4 days now. I've never not seen him this long before so sadly, I believe his time came (and my amazing Bristleworm CUC took care of..... things). He will be...

Hey Guys, For a while now I've been hearing about the 'LE' and 'ORA' (I think this one is a person/company and not a rarity) corals. And just now 'Hornet' Zoas. I have a few questions. 1) Why so special? 2) Are they merely trends of a particularly nice coral for a while? 3) Are they worth...

Hey Guys, For the past few days my three trachys have been pulled down against their skeletons and now on one the skeleton is starting to come through. Yet my Zoos, Morphs, Clam, Scolly, Dusters and Fish are showing no signs of problems. All parameters are good. (Trust me ;)) Any help is...

Hey Guys, Anyone who was tagging along on my upgrade thread (in my sig) would know I was getting a new Scollymia Australis for $110 AUD. I picked it up this weekend and brought him home. Worth every cent. Plus while at the fantastic not-so-local LFS Mum (who loves her featherdusters (calls them...

Hey Guys, I'm buying my first clam on Sunday/tomorrow and just wanted some tips from you guys that are well versed in the keeping of clams. So hit me with the knowledge! ;) Thanks Guys. :)

Hey guys. Today I got a new light unit. It's awesome. It's a 2ft unit with 6 T5HO's. It came with 4 10,000K bulbs and 2 blue/white. It's phase one in my renovation. I'm intending too: - Put the new lights on, replacing the hood. - Plumb a small, cheap acrylic tank in my stand to the DT to hold...

Hey guys, What do you guys think the minimum tank size for a Regal Angel is? Because there are many varied ideas out there. Some say 100G, some say 75G some even said 55G. I averaged them out and came to 72G. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, How many T5HO's would you need over a 4'L x 18"W x 20"H mixed reef?

Hey Guys, Since there hasn't been a new profile for a while I thought I would do one. I'll try and do them regularly from now on, once a month or so. Post on my profile suggestions or Corals/Fish/Inverts you would like to see done. Without further ado: As the name suggests the Sixline Wrasse...

This tank: Tank of the Month - February 2006 - Reefkeeping.com Is incredable. I've never seen anything like it. I recommend a read guys, even a skim, it's worth it. Anyone got a spare $500K? ;)

Hey guys, how much turnover (g/h) does a reef tank need? Thanks. :)

Hey guys, while reading online I found this article: A Serpent For Your Reef Tank: A Look at Fish-Safe Eels by Frank Marini, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com Are these guys really good for reef's as long as they are kept fed and, um, watered per se?

Hey Guys, Today while picking up a new light (old one blew out) I was perusing my LFS corals and found this beauty. He's an orange Fungia, 2 inches in diameter and going great. Only got pics of him just after being placed into the tank so there's no tentacles yet but I'll get a pic of that...

Hey Guys, I've got a flickering tube and need a new one before I go on holidays so I'm picking up a new one this arvo. For my tank (1' deep) how many Watts/K do I need? (T5's I'm gonna get.) Thanks guys. :D

Hi Guys, I've got my lovely little 23.8G (90L) reef sitting in front of me with: A Black Ocellaris A Six-Line Wrasse A Chromis And now I want to finish it off with two or three more fish after sadly losing my Scooter Blenny to the suction of a PH. :( I've been looking at Live Aquaria as a...

While surfing the web one night I discovered this online Reef Magazine. Naturally, I looked into it with great eagerness, only to discover that it ceased being written in the April of 2009. However, in that April the tank of the month was a 90G Penisula that in my opinion is the most beautiful...

Okay guys I'm intending on getting one of the most charismatic little guys in the reefs. Now I've been doing my reading like a good little boy and am wondering about whats being said about how many you should keep. Several places have said keep 2-3 cause then you'll see more activity and they...

Nevermind, please excuse this accidental posting. Any moderator that comes across this thread, please delete it. Thank you.

Hey Guys, Out here in Aus it's a huge, huge pain to find snails that aren't turbos. (At least it is for me). I've been looking and looking and so far I've only found Trochus and Cerith snails. (BTW 5 Ceriths for $30AUD is a rip right?) Can someone whose had these give me the lowdow please...

Heres one for the Aussies. ;) Has anyone found a good SW place online for ordering a CUC? Cause I haven't found anything with good snails, hermits etc. I want to order them online cause my LFS only ever gets Turbos in. :(

Hey Guys, I've been looking at a getting a small Bubble Coral for my tank and have been checking out the info on it. Apparently it doesn't need much light but what about other LPS corals? I have three tracyphyllias already that are happy all day and extending at night so long as they get fed...

Hey guys this is my 23.8G SW tank ATM. I recently bought the three Tachyphyllia Corals on the sand. :) Please feel free to comment/give advice. I'm intending to make the left side LPS and the right side Softy. I'm gonna get some GSP for the big base rock on the right side and let...
