I think I am going to continue doing what I know works which is T5 HO + LED combo. I had this on my 120 g and corals loved it. So I will have to stick with this combo until more proven results come out on the LED's!

The more I read I am finding out that Orphek is crap! Not sure if anyone here has these? I think I am going to go with the AI's, seem to have the best reviews. I like the Vertex a lot, and you can add and modify all you want including red and purple bulbs. Oh man, what to do lol

So like I have said in my last couple of threads, I am moving April 1st to a condo I have purchased. Originally I was going to move my 120 gallon and get start on an in wall build. I decided to sell the 120 g reef setup and it sold in one day, lucky for me. I have purchased my 300 gallon...

anemones will move until they find proper lighting and flow i would urge you to separate them though

No pic?

No water changes! thats how.

When you are acclimating, put the bag in the tank for about 45 min, then start adding water into the bag. Let them get use to temp, then to the water. Also there will always be losses in this hobby, stick with it! I have lost hundreds upon hundreds do to random stuff. Reef lobsters, evil...

Well I had about 15 corals from my 46 that were transferred to my 120g about 3 monhts ago. They have all grown. Then a guy close to me took down his 120 and gave me a super price on his corals and fish. I put about 15 corals and 5 fish in my tank over a week's spand, about a month ago. They have...

Yes start slow, but once you get the hang of it you can add as many as you like and at any rate. I recently just put about 15 new corals in at once and no problems what so ever

we need to get par readings for LEDs :P

29 gallons you would need 15 of each 15 hermits and 15 snails its one CUC per gallon, not one of each :P but that is hear/say i say you have enough right now, maybe add 2-3 more hermits and 2-3 nassarius snails

I have enough heaters and pumps the rubbermades i am keeping the corals and fish in. I will also pre heat a room in the new place nice and warm to help out. I dont think I will suffer any losses, at least i hope not. Just have to plan it out properly. I need to make sure I have a good hour so...

Exactly my plan, keep most of the water, have water pre made when i get there and just throw out the old sand and get new sand. should not have nay problems. i have moved a couple tanks before, jsut not something this size, but its the same concept i will just get new sand!

So initially I was going to move everything in my 120g reef and the tank to my new house (15 minutes away). But now I am having second thoughts. So many people I have spoken to have lost everything or most of their livestock. Now I am in a debate whether I should continue with my original plan...

Yup lots of reading in this hobby like any. The more you learn the better you become. The only problem with this hobby is a lot of is is open to suggestion and multiple equations. Sometimes there is not one right answer. What works for me and my tank may or may not work for yours. Of course some...
