I have a 120 gallon reef that is over two years old. Lighting has always been power compacts (240 watts). I recently augmented the PC's with T-5's (4 X 80 watts for a total of 320 watts). I added the T-5's to try to bring out more color of existing coral and possible allow for acquiring some...

I have a 120 gallon reef tank (60 inches long) with Current USA PowerCompacts (260 Watts). Works fine, but I'd like to augment the power compacts with VHO and try to get some more color from the coral. The problem is I don't have a canopy and it's seems like most of the VHO options are kits...

Does anyone out there know if there are any butterflies that are reef compatable? I've seen some mention of Copperbands every now and then. I have several soft corals (zoos, etc.) and LSP's and have room for one more fish. I'd like to go with a Copperband if possible, but I'm very nervous...

I've been dealing with some sort of worm that is eating my zoos and mushrooms. This has been going on for the past couple of weeks. I've tried using a bristle worm trap from the lfs (the one that Coralife makes), but I have not caught him in at least a dozen attempts (all overnight). He moves...

I've noticed some of my Zoos and Ricordia retreating. These particular specimens have always been healthy, so I suspected something was going after them. I watched one night and sure enough, a bristle worm (or worm of some type) darted out of a hole in the rock and took a chuck out of my zoo...

I bought two separate colonies of zoo's two weeks ago. For the first day, both colonies did great. Then they both closed and have not opened since. As I said, this was a couple of weeks ago, so I'm concerned they will never open. It seems strange to me that both colonies have done this (I...

I have a 120 gal reef tank - about 220 lbs of live rock. I currently have a Blue Hippo (since July) and he is doing great (about 3-4 inches long). I have room for one more fish and I'm thinking about a Powder Blue. My questions are is my tank too small for a powder blue and will it get along...

First, I want to say that this is a wonderful site and I have learned a lot from Steve-S and the other folks that respond to questions. Now, for my question. I have a 120 gallon reef tank. I have two Perc Clowns (false) that I introduced at the same time about 7 months ago. They have both...

I am in the process of setting up a 120 gallon tank. For filtration, I have a very good Remora protein skimmer and two canisters rated well over 120 gallons (of course the live rock will contribute here as well). For the substrate, I am leaning against live sand in lieu of regular dry sand...
