Thanks for the tip Steve, I will turn him now.Thats why I like this site I would not have known to turn him had I not posted the pic. and I don't know anyone local that even has a SW tank much less a reef. So thanks again. They look alot better today. I will post an update on the recovery...

Its been a few hrs. and the LTA isn"t looking too good .Will it heal or is the damage fatal. Here is before and after pics.

When I came home today my LTA had moved across the tank and attacted my LT plate coral. I lifted them out of the tank to get them apart but both have alot of damage to their tennicles. Will they recover from this battle? Is there anything I can do to help them? The LTA seams to have the worst...

Thanks alot thats what I thought too. I called tech. support they said to run spyware and clear history & cookies did that but didn't help. Just wanted to see if it was just me or if any one else had a problem before I call them again. Rory

Looks like I have my work cut out. What sand do you recommend ? Heres the tank Check out the coralline alage Cheap camera sorry. 4 weeks in.

Thanks alot Quarry. I was hoping someone had tried this. I wasn't thinking when I set tank up But I like the natural look of the sand and I heard the CC can be a nitrate factory. I'll do it a little at a time. Thanks,Rory

Its not worth it I got into SW with a 75 gal. and the main thing I wanted was Blue Tang and my wife wanted an emperator Angel. The LFS never said the tank was too small after I set up the tank I found this site and read alot now my 75 is FW and I have a 180 reef We wont get the Angel and I...

I have about 2 1/2 in. CC in my180 gal. reef and I would like to add maybe 2 in. of sand. Can I do this? will it upset my system? I have 230 lbs. LR and several corals in there now Is it too late to think about adding the sand? I was thinking if I was to use a small plastic bag and pour the...

Thats a good point Matt thanks. I think I have it stable. taking the glass top off made a big difference.Its been at 76.5 to 77.3 all day so I feel a lot better now. I haven't had to run the fan either. I may even have to turn my heater back on I would rather use it than a chiller. Thanks every...

Thanks every one Got a fan last night and put it over the sump that worked this morning the temp was at 77.9 and now after the lights all day its only at 78.3 the glass and the fan worked. :) If I can figure out how to send pictures I'll send some of the LR Thanks again.

Thanks Mike I haven't run the heater sense the PH were in.Thats what has me worried. The lighting I have now is 4 30w Florestent But I was getting the lunar compact from Aqualife with 4 96W CF and 4 3/4 W lunar moon glo . Mike said I need to be between 76 and 80 for the Keys LR.I just don't...

I have a 180 gal.fowlr no fish yet I just picked up 230lbs of LR from LR.com yesterday. (the new keys rock looks really good by the way) Just before I got the LR I added 2 new power heads one 600gph and one 800gph. at the bottom to get better flow as per Mike @ LR.com advice. before the 2 new...

Hi Bushman I was reading about Agualight in aquarium Fish and went to esuweb.com saw the Lunar Aqualight Really like it but would like to hear more opinions on it from some of the regulars here.I read more than I reply cause I'm new here but they give good advice here.The site didn't have...

Thanks alot Billy and Lando I have been leaning towards PC for price and overall cost like light bills and replacement bulbs. Thats the main reason I 'm trying to avoid the MH. Tank is a 180gal. 72" X 24" X 24" Any suggestions on which PC and where to find them. Thanks again. I will be...

What size tank and what kind of lighting are you using Bushman if you don't mind me asking? Rory

Thanks Lando, I think I'll wait for LR.com the shipping is what worries me the most . They do ship overnight UPS which I would prefer the hub is 4 miles from my house and I deal with them 4 or 5 times a week with my T-shirt business anyway. But by the time I pay next day I might save $.50 per...

I Found a site in Ca. (oceanproaquatics.com) that has 46 lbs. of Fiji LR for $112.00 reg price is like $520.00 this is a 24 hr. special. Is this good LR? Has any one here ever dealt with this company? I may be wrong but this sounds like a really good deal. I have heard soo much good stuff...

I think they all have there own personality. I have to females and Tried to put them In my daughters tank with neon tetras and guppys the larger one picked on the guppys so I took her out but the smaller one doesn't mess with no one and seems very happy too. Good luck. BTW The larger one just...

Thats What I was thinking too but got the impression that it might effect the cycle. Not sure how that works. I would love to put maybe 75 lbs of base rock and 175 lbs of LR. Would save a ton. LFS has base rock for $1.00 lb. Thanks Rory

Thanks Mark, Your probably right about the reef but that will be a little while yet. I've been looking at some hoods a lot of choices and different price ranges. Not too sure I want to go MH at least not yet. I don't want to skimp on the lighting and right now it will cut into my LR . I was...
