    400 watt halide over 85

    You're talking one 400Watt bulb. Unless it's a square tnak, you won't get much coverage.

    Are Digital Salt Meters Just As Accurate As Refractometers?

    Works great. I've got to order another one though because I dropped mine in the tank. :(

    check out this ebay auction! the nerve.

    If you're dumb enough to buy an anemone without researching it maybe you deserve an infected tank.

    Metal Halide

    What would you guys think of a 400 over a 65 and a 400 over a 45? Trying to set up a prop system here.

    Any Discus breeders out there?

    I've got a female Red Dragon that I'm about to try and pair off. I noticed her laying eggs on by herself the other day so I'm assuming she wants to breed. >< Just curious if there are any discus breeders that wouldn't mind having email/forum discussions.

    Sea Horse possible?

    With that size of a tank and the Mandarin, I doubt you'll ever have any sort of pod population.

    Feeding Scooter Blenny / Dragonette

    Wow. I suppose I'm saying that out of the fact that I've only fed saltwater fish flakes once, just to see if they eat it. I make my own food from mysis/brine/krill/ and cyclopeeze.

    Feeding Scooter Blenny / Dragonette

    I've never heard of ocellated dragonets (scooter blennys) eating flakes. The scooter is incorrectly named and not a relative of things like lawnmower blennys, they are actually dragonets. I'm assuming you're asking this question because you already have one and you're hoping he'll survive the...

    Make Saltwater fish freshwater?

    If you wanted to take IE a clownfish and make it freshwater you'd probably have to keep the SG steady and reduce it about .0001 with each generation of clownfish. Maybe then they'll evolve to freshwater, but otherwise you're just going to kill your fish. BTW I've had mollys that acclimated from...

    Live Rock

    I do have to aplogize for the English used in my earlier post. That is exactly what happens when I write an article at 6 in the morning before work, right after I've fallen out of bed. I'm not so sure how you will go about getting good prices on LR in the UK, living in Houston I seem to be in...

    Live Rock

    Honeslty if you ask me the difference between cured and uncured worthless. If you're cycling the tank with the rock you want uncured rock. There will be enough die off from the LR to get your cycle into full swing, so don't let them trick you with the cured junk. I'm assuming you'll be having...

    Does anyone else love the smell of your skimmer's cup?

    Just so you don't feel bad, I like it.

    Sebae Anemone question?

    Also, touch it. As long as it reacts quickly and is sticky he's still pretty healthy. I've never really taken color as a great indication.

    For those that have added refugiums to combat nitrates/PO4:

    Might go with a Berlin or something more beefy. I've always had a low opinion of the AquaC skimmers.

    hate to kill it

    I'd avoid juicing. Depending on the size of the tank, probably one per thirty gallons, I'd get a peppermint shrimp. You have to keep in mind that the peppermints won't eat aptasia bigger than they are, so you're best bet is to just pull the aptasia off by hand, and let it reproduce. That way the...

    Help!! worm eating corals

    Couple tips on the wrasse. Try and find them smaller if you can as I believe they are less aggresive. He will quarrel with any other fish you add after him, so keep that in mind as well. Also, be aware that your pod population will be nonexistent as he is THE pod terminator. Any dragonets will...

    sand or no sand

    barebottoms in Freshwater make sense to me but in Saltwater it doesn't quite fit. There is just too much going on in the sandbed to not have it. I'd really like to see the levels in a BB saltwater tank. If you are worried about nitrate and algae issues it's the quality of the water. If you're...

    Lighting Questions.....

    Generally most of those fixtures are sent with the maximum wattage as far as bulbs go. Just replace them with the same bulbs.

    stocking Question

    Not true about the clowns. I used to keep 3 True Perculas together. You just need enough space. The problem with your clowns is that they are different species. Try to get something for each of them to host and place it on the OPPOSITE side of the tank, and hopefully they won't kill each other...

    clicking noise in tank?

    Also, two how old is your tank? Are you sure you have the pod population to handle two blennys?

    Stocking Advice On 75 Gallon

    I personally think a 75 isn't big enough for a Yellow or a Blue Hippo, most tangs need atleast a 6 foot tank. If you really want a tang, go with a Bristletooth Tomini, they stay under 5".

    clicking noise in tank?

    From what you lost, IMO there is nothing that it can be other than a mantis. Mantis Shrimp's would make easy prey out of fish like dragonets and smaller inverts. I'd get your other mobile inverts and blenny out ASAP. Then what i'd do is try and find the rock he's in. You might just have to take...
