I want one too!!!!!

I'd say plan for fish and corals. You have to start with fish anyway until your tank is fully established, maybe 6 or so months, then you decide at that time. I assure you'll want more than fish :-)

Are you really serious in taking advice from experienced aquarists from this forum? Sorry if I sound harsh but you already got good advice on your other post and it seams that you already made up your mind on how you want to start your saltwater aquarium. Good luck though.

Sorry if I misread your question.

I would recommend at least 10,000K for your lights for a reef tank. This is based on research and not per experience yet. My lights now are leds rated at 10,000K with mixture of blue actinics and a couple of T8's with 18,000K ratings. I have Long Tentacles Anemone, a Condy and Bubbletip Anemone...

Would be best to pair him with the same kind :-)

Try to figure out first where exactly they're coming from.

Thanks!!! :-)

My wife bought this coral but did not ask what is it. Can somebody pls help me identify this so I can do research? Thanks.

Occellaris clowns will host Long Tentacles Anemone. My clowns were so happy having to host one. They hosted it within minutes. Here's a pic:

The OP is actually having cloudy water. That cant be a result of bad test kit. I've read before that it could be a bacteria bloom. Bacterias resides in water so for immediate fix this would require lots of water changes. Still need to find the source though.

Are they always on the same spot? If it is, is that spot where you have the highest flow? If it is then they probably didnt like something from what you're putting in your tank for treatment. Make sure whatever chemical you are using doesnt have copper on it.

It's not adviceable to use tap water. You should use RO/DI or RO water at least.

Where did you soaked your LR? In aquarium water?

Do you have some water surface agitation?
