What caught his interest in grazing? Did you cut down on his feedings where as he had no choice? I am curious because my yellow tang seems to always be waiting for the pellets even though I clip some nori inside the tank. I want him to start feeding off the vegetation I put in the tank.

Looks like I am sold on getting both the MH at 10 K to start off! :)

Loganj, thanks for the info. I will probably use the MH for daylight use and the 03 for Dawn/Dusk use. Is this ok? If so, should I get both the MH at 10K?

I am replacing my 4x65 watt PC with 2x175 watt MH and 2x54 watt HO 03. I have a mixture of fish and coral in my 75g, 48" tank. My question is between the two MH lamps, what K rating should I get? I was thinking of one 13K and one 20K. The LFS said the 13K was really close to bright sun light and...

I have had my small (about 3"-4") Volitan Lionfish for nearly a month. I have to hand feed it (with a feeding stick, of course) small bits of the fresh shrimp from the grocery store. He cohabitates with three chromis, a maroon clown, regal tang, two hammer corals, red rose tip anemone, hermit...

I have the same problem. My LFS told me my phosphates might be high and recommended "PhosBan" (Phosphate Adsorption Media). I hope this combined with my protein skimmer will cut the growth down. Meanwhile, I removed the growth by hand and used an algae brush on the back of my tank.

It sounds like you are having trouble with the water passing through the filter. I am not to familiar with a magnum but I had a similar scenario with my submerible pump in my sump. The water was low in the sump and the pump was hot. White micro bubbles permeated my tank after a return from two...

Very nice. So what else do you have in your tank? They look very healthy. :D

Thanks, Seafan! As a newbie, I get a little discouraged by partaking in conversational topics that seem to be over my head. Technical terms are a good thing as long as the layman term can accomodate, or a brief explanation accompany the message. Sometimes you learn more by observing but you...

I have a rose anenome, hawaiian feather duster, and a slew of crabs and snails. They have all held up for the past few weeks. The lighting seems appropriate for them.

The actinic bulbs are not broken. It's just that you have a dual spectrum actinic lamp and the 460nm hue is stronger than the 420nm (which you think is out).

Fiji Live Rock for $2.75 per lb about 10 minutes from where I live. They could even ship to you but after that's all said and done, it would probably bring you up to about what you paid locally.
