My friend (who has a canon 60D) was over so we took some pictures of my fish

As far as I know, 3000 k or less is the best for scrubbers. Anyone else?

So i wanted to build my algae scrubber a long time ago, but I never got around to it. I finally finished it 2 weeks ago. So far the growth has been really good. Algae has just about covered the screen. I made it out of a sterilite plastic drawer, and it is gravity fed straight from my...

2 weeks.

Bought 2 chromis from the pet store, from the same tank, at the same time. One of them eats everything he can, but the second one isn't as interested. It swims around near the bottom. How do o get it to eat?

But it doesn't explain why they are totally missing the food.

I was wondering if they were blind, but I don't think so. They respond when you move your hand outside of the tank.

i don't have a recent reading, except for salinity is 1.024. ammonia is acceptable. my other tests have expired (i was using test strips, which i know now aren't very accurate)

My blue spotted toby and my cinnamon clown completely miss the food when they try to eat it. This is a recent thing, because before they both used to jump at the food and eat as much as they could. Now they miss it 9 out of 10 times they try to eat it. Why??? They appear otherwise healthy...

wondering if anyone knows why... he has a couple of spots on his fins. he's been picked on alot by a bigger clown. Is he just stressed?

Lower Kelvin temps cause algae growth. I have 10,000 K bulbs on my tank. Also depend what look you want. Higher Kelvin bulbs means more blue light.

Yep. I get ocean water. 1.026 every time.

If it has not been cured already, this would be a good time. The die off from the rock and the rotting shrimp would cause a good ammonia spike. Just make sure everything tests at 0 before you put anything alive in there.

Going to build one myself...ill follow this thread!

Sounds to me like they are becoming a mated pair. The one doing the twitching is submitting to the other one, which will become the female.

At least five. I'm looking to catch a few for my tank. Really nice fish.

I love blue spotted tobies. really fun to watch. I have one in a 55. I think your tank is big enough.

Separate tank, very good water conditions just to get them to breed. I dont think you need additives, but baby clownfish only eat rotifers. You have to grow those yourself, but you can get starting cultures online for pretty cheap

I have the aquatic life 48 inch t5 High output. Basically the same thing you describe here, 4 x 54 watt bulbs, and it's controlled by a computer. I really like it. I recommend it, but the one you describe here looks good too. I also got mine 2nd hand

My 55 gallon saltwater

I put an O ring on mine it helps the water cascade over the edge instead of crashing and gurgling.

Thats what I did when I got my light fixture. Most people just leave it open but I had too much evap. I would go with an all glass cover though because metal halides get really hot.

Just moved it last week and it's doing great, no problems moving it and I didn't lose any fish. But I thought I was going to lose my clown at first.

Nice! Make sure you test it for leaks.

Just curious about how you all mount your frags and what you think the best way to mount soft and hard coral frags.
