Alright guys, here is the million dollar question. Where is my goby? I've checked on the floor, around the tank. I checked in the filter with a flashlight. Spotlight checked the tank all over. I've had no spikes in any parameter of any sort, nor have I added and new inhabitants. He's been...

That's good considering I paid about $125 for this one rock... Yeah it was about 35 lbs!!

Thanks to all for the help, glad I got a free good find! :thumb:

Today I decided to examine my tank closely, and found a hitchhiker on one of our pieces of LR. I know its some kind of coral, and possibly a zoa, but what kind?

Let's see, I won three goldfish at a fair. Realized my tank was too cramped too late, only had one goldfish left. Decided I needed a new tank (10 gallon) ended up turning that one into a tropical tank. Went out and bought another 10 gallon, this time Goldie got his tank, lol. Around all of this...

I don't know why someone would recommend tap either. I tried to start off with tap, and my 90 gallon saw a ph swing that killed all of the fish. :( that's a mistake I learned from!!

Oh and what's your PH?

Umm, the only reading I can find that they aren't liking you is because you have a two bulb fixture? I'm sorry that I wasn't much help... But I hope they stop dieing and and start living!

Also suggestion for coral: Blasto Bubble coral And everything else I think was already covered.. Lol

Seems that I have very bad luck with angels also. Lol. I want to say, if you want a reef, start out with ALL of the right equipment before hand. It will save you alot of $$$ down the road. Also, I am following along. :thumb: Ps. I live the color of your lights.

I have never had a biocube. I have a 90 gallon and a 10 gallon in regular tanks. Bios are a great starter tank, but most people end up gutting them later on to mod the lights and such. I guess you could say it's a personal preference? But IMO I think it's a bit pricey to pay $200 for just a tank...

Also mine didn't eat aptasia but with these little guys it's kind of always hit or miss..

I also had a matted filefish. Mine picked at my snails when I bought them and dropped them in the tank. (only if they landed up-side down.) they are a pretty cool fish if you ask me.

They can't harm your stock unless you had an old light and switched it out for the new ones. Most people that do that buy the dimmable ones so that they can start with low percentages and acclimate their corals to their new lights. Slowly. The blue/white ratio is a total personal preference...

Thanks alot animal!

Okay. Thanks. And that all I run in this tank on my HOB filter. It runs 24/7.

A protein skimmer isn't necessary as long as you keep up with your water changes.

I thought the only use for carbon was to polish the water?

It's only a carbon insert.

I did a 30% water change last night an siphoned the sand bed. Everything looks way better today. I will soon be getting a small powerhead to increase flow. Yes I am using RO water. I change the filter media to see if that was causing the problems. I also cut back on my amount of feedings...

Have a 10 gallon mixed reef nano, it has been set up for 49 days and is cycled. My stock includes; 1 black clownfish 1 yellow watchman goby And various corals. I am thinking about buying a 20 gallon long to transfer it all into. My tank has been getting cramped and I am battling cyano algae. I...

Thanks! I think it's galaxia also!

Thanks guys, so you would suggest the pros rather than just the strips? & I want to increase the amount of goral I can grow, but I won't be using all LEDs I will be using them to accommodate my current lighting. I'm just wondering. Thanks for. The help!

So, I'm thinking about changing my lights up to better accommodate my corals. I've realized that I can buy 7 strips for the same price that I can buy 3 already mounted. I figured this is a better deal. Dow anyone have any experience with these kinds of lights? Any suggestions on what colors to...

Same here, lol. I bought this one out of my $10 corner at my LFS. And I got a discount because I volunteer there every Saturday so it was a pretty good deal. Lol.
