Just because you QT a fish does not mean that it will or wont get ich. The fish could already have ich and you just didnt see it in the store. SOME stores keep their salinity a little lower and ich cannot be spotted due to this. That is at least what I have heard. QT is so that you can treat...

in my opinion

Looks cool. Why the PVC tubing in the tank in the corners and the lone piece in the front middle?

Yep thats a spawning gesture. They might not be spawning yet but the one that is doing the twitching is more than likely the male. Mine does it too. Normally towards the foot of their anemone. Thats where they lay their eggs.

This is how I have mine. I have mine plumbed into my return line. I simply unplug it when I dont want to use it. If I notice an algal bloom or a parasitic fish then I plug it back in. That simple and therefore I have it. I do however strongly believe in having one. It pretty much ensures...

My hermit crabs ride around on my conchs cleaning their backs all the time. Its almost like a bull riding contest! haha.

Thanks guys! Luckily he was on the glass this morning and I was able to get everything done that I needed to.

Yea they are. Hey when you do get your refugium up and running. Get some sort of barrier so that light will not penetrate into the skimmer area or you will encourage life in that area as well. Over time it will be a nuisance. Just my thoughts. Everything looks great man. I am slowly...

Not just any powerhead can be plugged into a wavemaker. Most maxi jets are fine with the majority of WM but korallias are finicky and will make an terrible noise when being turned on repeatedly throughout the day. They will eventually fail. Korallia makes powerheads that are for THEIR...

You could always get a copper test kit. I think they make them(im sure they do) try salifert... Test for traces of copper. If you are using RO/DI there should be none. Although I am not so sure that pennies made after the year 1985 were made with pure copper. Check the date if it is prior to...

I would not move your rock around at all. If you think about it no waste is really getting under there. All you are worried about is fish waste and uneaten food that falls in between your crushed coral. Just get close to the rocks and get that. What I would do is vacuum one side of your tank...

So you do have a crushed coral bottom... Use a gravel vac on it then as you would pebble substrate in a fresh water aquarium.

Cherry barbs are pretty peaceful fish to house with them that have great color(red) they are a fish to keep in numbers as well. I have gourami and clown loaches along with one angel and cherry barbs in with mine.

Did you already fishless cycle that tank... Did you test the parameters? Make sure to have some tubes or drift wood for them to hide in. It sounds like you are trying to do more of a natural look/habitat so drift wood would be the way to go. Also if you want to view the GK then a cylindrical...

I need to get to the overflow box as soon as I can. He has been on the top for two days now. What are your thoughts about how I can get him off of there?

Very similar just smaller. I am wondering because he is on my top. I need to remove the top and if I do he will come out of the water. Will this hurt it?

Hey for your koralias do you have the flow directors. You could try using those. You can point them more towards the sand with those with less disturbance. Thats how I have one of mine.

Hey JSDANCER are you running a ca reactor? Also are you running any type of media reactors? Can you show some pictures of how your sump is laid out? Last but not least can you show how you are going to/ where you are going to put your refugium?

Well I have a starfish(purple linkia). I have had it for about 2 weeks. It looks good. I need to do some work on my tank. The starfish however is on the eggcrate that I have over top of my tank so my wrasse will not get out. Its worked so far. Anyways if I remove the eggcrate the starfish...

I will most certainly do that your tank looks great btw!

So are you worried about a cycle in your tank. You just switched everything over correct. I am getting a 180 soon. I am switching from a 75. I will more than likely have 2 tanks running for some period of time as I get more rock for the 180 and cycle it with that live rock. I am just...

Will those led strips be used for moon lights?

Hey JUSTONEMORE20... How did you affix your egg-crate to the side of your tank?

You definitely want to keep the protein skimmer... What kind is it? The skimmer in my opinion is more vital than a filter. I dont run any sort of filter on my tank and never have... I have a 75 and am running a Reef Octopus extreme 160 skimmer, UV, and Dual media reactor(Ferric Oxide and...

That would be what is considered the prehistoric dragon goby right... HAHA not the dragon goby(saltwater)... P.S. The tank looks nice!!!!
