    my purple tip anenome started losing its tips shortly after I added some emerald crabs to my tank this morning I see the anenome has no tenticals at all and it looks like its dead. I think the crabs did it? I was wondering if I should get them out of my tank before they get my other anenome...

    ALL ABOUT SKIMMERS

    MH Advise

    could I buy a actinics bulb for a normal output light? Should I have it I honestly can't think of how it would look without it. To be honest with you if I need to spend alot of extra money to make it look good I would rather buy a light with both 10k and actnics lights in it

    MH Advise

    I found what I think is a good deal on a MH light it is 175 watt light with a 10k bulb for 80 bucks. Do you use other lights with MH's or is the MH all I need? I would be getting two of them putting me at 6.37 watts per gallon. I plan on doing coral and need to make sure I have everything I need.

I want to have all my test kits be the same brand for easy use. I see that seachem makes alot more test kits then salifert or redsea does. I guess...
