I have a 75 with a bunch of live rock(80-100lbs) and a DSB. Other then a 3-4" Porc. Puffer I have a decent sized domino damsel and a rusty dwarf angel. Inverts are a red brittle star and large black long spine urchin. I think one peppermint is still in here from before I had a large Mantis...

I had several on my rocks from LR.com small to med. They haven't really moved or spread at all. I added a few peppermint shrimp and they cleared the small ones and no new ones after 3 months or so. They are not eating the big ones even though I see them go after them every once in a while...

You can also look into get some parts used. I got a 65 gal acrylic tank, Black acrylic hood/stand, 3ft long acrylic wet/dry, a 175 gal rated PS and much more at a flea market for $325. I had to upgrade the lights for corals and do so more work to get it to all work. So $200 for 4x96 PC...

I've seen HO and VHO on a 48" with up to 8 bulbs. or 4 PC. I.E. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=46314&item=4328693650#ebayphotohosting I think getting rid of the heat would be the hardest part if you can get them to fit.

I had one that size and it grew pretty quick to about 6-7" before I gave him away. Some are less of a problem and if you feed it every day they might servive for awhile but they will be eaten at some point. Mine after I gave him away killed and ate part of a 5-6" tang and other very large...

I just put 4X96 PC( for $225 thx ebay) lights on my 65 gal. After reading up I might have gone for MH as my tank is 24" deep and I have read that PC and VHO lose a bit much after 18". I have a 4" DSB so I'm close. I have also read alot about the cooling problem with MH. Last you want is to...

I'll keep this in mind. It seems pretty happy now and has room to swim. I'll have to find a good LFS. The Petco I got it from has all 10-15 gal tanks and that would be worse for it.

I found the address and stuff: Happyland Pet Ctr Address: 11432 W Wadsworth Rd, Beach Park, IL 60099 Phone: (847) 872-2223

There is an good place in Beach park on the corner of Wadsworth and Lewis. Its not the best but does have a desenct selection of fish and some coral. The prices are better then some other LFS I've been to. Its way better then the Petco by me. I also list a real good coral in Crystal Lake in...

I resently got a 3-4" Naso tang for a 65 Gal tank. I know it is going to out grow this at some point. How fast do these grow on average? How big is too big for this sized tank (i.e. 7-8"). I only have 3 damsels right now and I don't plan on getting any more fish right now but I might...

I have both red and green ones. When I first got them the green were out all the time. Now I hardly ever see then during the day. It seemed to start after I got some fish but I don't know if they are related. It was weird because I have Peppermint shrimp too and they used to be the night...

I found a list of illinois places and here is what I found on a few near me. http://fins.actwin.com/dir/stores.php?c=1&r=27 Strandell's Equine and Pet Center, 2025 E. Algonquin Rd, Algonquin, Illinois, 60102, phone 847-658-8866 They are only freshwater now. They did have some cool freshwater...

The claws should have a little suction cup looking part on both sides that it uses to grab algae. I have dark red and green ones (dark green to a pale green).

Better yet an attack sub with Mantis seeking torpedos.

On the cheap you might look at swimming pool construction. They make indoor pools so companies like that would know the sturctural codes and stuff. I would not want to guess what that would cost to setup and run but hey you may hit the lotto and that might almost cover it. :) It would be...

I think I'll go with 2 10k, a 50/50 10k/actinic and a regular actinic. That would be 5/3. Also Anyone have a good suggestion on going from 1 10k and 1 actinic to this so I don't light shock the few things I have. I have read some on this and it sounds like I should due a gradual increase...

I have a standard size 65 gal. 36" long I am upgrading my lighting from 2 96 watt Power Compacts to 4 96s and if I can get it to fit I'll add my 2 65 watt Power Compacts too. I was wondering what would be the best bulb options. I was thinking of 3 96 watt 10k daylights + 1 55 watt 10K (I...

Here is something I came accross that I found interesting on the subject: http://www.tidalgardens.com/pages/tutorials/light_meters.html

I see new its like $165.00 Not including shipping and works up to a 75 gal tank. So you'll save like $50+ I hear they are good but have not tried one myself. see here. http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_protein_skimmers_aquac_remora_information.asp?CartId=...

I know I won't be able to keep the CC stars forever but my glass is pretty algae covered and the snails aren't helping and they do. After that settles down I'll trade them in. I'm more intrested in the question about the tangs.

I have a 70 gal reef tank that finished its cycle about 2 weeks ago. The ammonia and nitrites are 0 and all other perametes have been stable. I have a DSB and 40lbs of LV with 60Lbs of base rock with the LV from LR.com so it has plenty of life. I put in 5 emerald crabs and 5 pepermint shrimp...

Here is one not really a great price. I've seen cheaper but can't find a link now. Look on yahoo.com/r/sh for this. Or if you want a bit cheaper here is an ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=46314&item=4309964439&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V

I see a bunch of zoos on ebay. With shipping I don't know if it will be any cheaper but you might find someone selling near you and see if you can pick it up. I see a couple from Ohio,Missouri,CA, Maryland, and TX right now so you can find these all over.

Maybe a 96" 50/50 PC actinic and 10K
