I found that a skimmer is a great tool if you have a tank outbreak of a disease. I only mean that in the beginning of a new tank, before you get soft coral or invertebrates, I have had trouble with ich or other parasites attacking some fish. This is very true if you purchase fish from a less...

I would invest in a Phosphate test kit. Anemone's are very sensitive to Phosphates. I am not sure about the type of lighting for you Anemone. I only know that bubble tip Anemones do fine in low light.

My anemone usually takes about 45 min to look normal in the morning. I love anemones but they are a ton of worry and work. How are your phosphates?

I found that a skimmer is a great tool if you have a tank outbreak of a disease. I have run tanks with a skimmer and without. I have had much better luck with the skimmer, especially if you have live rock. Talk with you later

I have had luck with my two bubble tip anemones. Some things that I can think of off the top of my head are 1. They look horrible while going to the bathroom. 2. Anemones die quickly in High Phosphate waters. Are you testing phosphates? 3. They look horrible first thing when the light comes on...

I would definitely watch the phosphate levels. You probably already know this but, the phosphate test was the last test I learned. Keeping phosphates low will help with the algae spreading.

You could go with live base rock and then some type of premium rock. I have seen base rock for 1.50 a pound and usually it has plenty of critters to start with. Then add some premium live rock to spice things up. I have had good luck with base rock.

Also I newbie, I would like to say hello. I know there is a great aquatic store in virginia beach. I will get the name and post it hopefully in a week. I also must say this is a great forum. Everyone is so nice.

I thank you for your advice. I finally found a company that makes a custom cap for my tank. Also, thanks for the lighting suggestions.

My wife and I have always had a love affair with the ocean. We love the ocean an are enchanted by what you can not see in the water from land. A reef tank is like having a little piece of the ocean in our home.

Very nice tank. You have put a lot of work into your tank.

Does your tank have a current for proper water movement?

The tank is an Oceanic 58Gallon Standard Show Tank. The tank came with a standard florescent light hood.

I have a tank that came with a florescent light top. Does anyone know of a store that sells top conversions to get the proper lighting for soft corals.

Really Great looking tank. What do you do to keep it so clear?
