Pink skunk-Good choice and very underrated fish. Like the setup Lando. :D

I had a handful of turbos in my FOWLR. They kept doing the same thing. I decided it was not worth it to worry about it and got rid of them. I hear all kinds of stories of one of these guys dying and nuking an entire tank. I love my fish to much for that. Astreas are better in this area in...

Very Hot! Worse then halides (Pound for pound) in heat production. Would be like a spot light over your tank.

If you want to recycle the live rock, Boil It... Boiling it means setting it in a tub of salt water for 2-3 months changing out about a third of water ever other week. This will create an environment that will exterminate most living creatures on the rock without losing all seed. It is safe...

I think it is safe to add corals. 2 years is one long cycle 8O

diddi on cmor's response. vinegar is effective in removing deposits.

Agree as well, but it also depends on the amount of live rock, if any, in your tank. If you have a heavy bio filter (a lot of rock-live that is) you can go week to week adding fish. Otherwise rely on your test kits.

No, not at all. I like the look of green in the reef. Many people prefer to utilize there main display space for corals and place there macros in a sump still using the benefits of its phosphate removal.

I recently started a 10 gallon reef and I wanted to know if anyone can reccomend a reasonably priced palce to buy frags on the web??? I would like to get a package of some sort. Where you get 8-10 frags for $100? Does anyone know of some reputable sellers out there???

Power strips and a UPS back up in case the power kicks. You always want to keep the tanks heated and circulating somehow.

I understand what you are saying on this one. Thee are a lot of things in the hobby that people feel that they can get away with when it comes to meeting the requirements of a creature. Just keep in mind that this is only short term. Anemones don't have an expiration, but yours will. It is...

No you have too many samplers. If the wrasse doesn't try, the trigger will, If the trigger doesn't try the puffer will.

Your tank is way to samll for this list of fish.

Thank you so much for that response to my project need. That was very helpful GREAT ARTICLES!

Anyone.........anyone Bueller???
