I've been told peppermint shrimp. On a slight side note, I'm just about to get one of those since my original (I thought quite genious) plan was to use Dust-Off to freeze them. Well, I froze them, and it didn't kill em. Can you believe that?

Do the shrimp/gobie pairs need to be fed twice a day? I seem to remember hearing that somewhere...

Agreed about Zack being very helpful. If you look at their page they pretty much explain the difference. The Keys has the typical purple/pinkish coraline on it as well as a good deal of life. The Gulf doesn't have the same type of coraline, but does have some, it does, however, have the most...

So, I'm setting up my tank and will have LR in by next week this time, I hope. Tank Specs: 55G w/ x2 thick glass IceCap660 -3x 48" VHO 6500K -1X 48" VHO Actinic Remora C w/ MJ900 3x MJ900 for circ (do I need em all?) So, on with the questions- 1. I have 3.5" of aragonite sand, should I add...

I just wired mine and also put the ballast on the top, then ran the wires through drilled holes. Very neat.

led, lr.com's price of ~5 bucks a pound is w/ overnight shipping.

Howdy, So, I was pretty positive that I was going to do a big order from LR.com to fill my 55gallon with, maybe like 90 lbs. I started posting to a couple other forums and a few folks were commenting about how FL LR is much denser and not as interesting as Fiji/Tonga/Haitian LR. Is this true...

Howdy, So, I won 3 MJ1200's in an eBay auction. They sent me 4 MJ900's. So, it's more gph, but will a MJ900 be powerful enough to run my Remora? If it is, should I keep the 900's or go through the hassel of getting the 1200's? Thanks

http://www.oceanproaquatics.com/about.htm That's the place that's in Chino and has great prices on live rock. I'm paying 4-500 for 80-100 lbs from LR (willingly for the quality) but if you can pick up LR from this place, that'd be awesome. I'm in the process of setting up my tank and will have...

I'm setting up a new tank and can't get Aragonite Play Sand- is any white sterilized play sand fine for a tank? Thanks

Hey, I'm putting together a new tank and am gonna place an order for Live Rock from www.liverocks.com. Originally I thought I was going for 40lbs of Gulf and 40 lbs of Keys rock. So, it putting this into a new tank to cycle it (whatever cycle I'll get w/ that much LR from LR.com). Now, would...

Reverse osmosis. Filtered, basically. It'll also be called RO/DI water if it's also been deionized. Thanks for the answers folks.

Howdy, I was just curious how pH is regulated? I'm setting up a 55 reef setup now, and I want to know if there's anything else I need to get, etc. Thanks

This is the RO/DI filter I bought. It hasn't arrived yet so I can't give you a review, but it looks like one of the better deals- much cheaper than one bought specifically designed for aquariums. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4329607616&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT

Howdy, Will LR seed sand making it, eventually, live sand? Or are there a bunch of beasties that are needed to make LS that are with LR?

Thanks XX- I presume that like most you were quite pleased w/ LR.com?

Thanks for the pic seaham, what kind of rock is that?

Simple question really, how much will 80lbs of LR (Keys and Gulf, 40/40 from LR.com) 'fill up' a 55gal aquarium? I know about the 1-2lb/gallon, but I'd rather not have my aquarium looking... barren. Thanks

Thanks. I'm slowly getting everything ordered/bought. Is a Remora good enough for this type of tank, or should I go for a Remora Pro?

That, or a 4x110 VHO setup....

/nod, to be honest, I'm not sure what I want. I'm gonna see what I get w/ my LR that I'll get from LR. com (80#, I believe...). I think I'm gonna go w/ the 2x250's...

Yeah, I'd like the first lighting system I get to be the only one that I'll need for this tank. Ever. So should I go 2x250 or 2x400?

So is the Brix scale directly convertable to specific gravity?

Howdy, I was just curious if there's such a thing as too much light for a reef tank? Specifically, it's a 48x21x12 55gal? I'm buying a new lighting system and am either going for 2x250 MH or 2x400MH plus 1 or 2 48"T12 tubes... Also, should I match the Temp of the two MH bulbs, and maybe put in...

Howdy folks, So, I want a salt water tank. I've been looking, reading, researching, and forum perusing for a week+ now, and I've decided it's time to commit (murder, on my wallett). In my mind, the mini-ecosystem that a Reef tank provides is the only way to go. Now, I've never had a SW tank...
