I have had clowns tangs that were not mean. If they have some nice places to actually hide, then this can help - not caves and arches and things that humans like, but like stacked up rock where they can totally escape. Also, if you feed them well enough to grow an inch or two, this helps too...

I have blues, but they are not big. All that I have seen in person is that blue and purple hornets are the same thing, just different photoshopping - I am not a huge pro, so I don't know for sure.

FWIW - these will drive 150 double ended HQI as well as 175w Mogul Metal Halide.

Scratched and ulgy acrylic low boy type frag/QT tank. Was a tenecor 150g bowfront that the top had to be cut off, so it is half of that now. Tank works great and has an overflow with 1.5" drain. Black stand that is also ugly. I used it for frags for a long time and most recently as a welcome...

Did the links to our tank builds disappear? I cannot find mine anywhere and the links that I have go to other threads.

Dirty wrasse names usually start with spank-my, slap-my, grab-my or kiss-my.

IME, tangs and rabbits are lazy and worthless for algae. I did have a few magnificent foxface that were really good, but others that did nothing but add to the bio load and look pretty. Get an army of urchins and snails. Pencils and rock urchins won't pick up all of your snails like...

I don't have the g6 anymore. Let me know what you end up with for a sump with size dimensions and stuff. I can sell some frags or just probably buy you something if we know that it will fit and not be an eyesore or anything.

No more photos without naming the inhabitants. Once you start, you cannot stop. Post names of the fish and even the hair algae, or your posting privs are suspended. :) FWIW - hair algae names are limited to 80s Hair Bands or the members.

Do you have height requirements? I might have a ASM G6, but it is tall... and a beast. I cannot remember if I got rid of it, or not. FWIW - 2 larger skimmers will work better than one huge one. A pair of ASM G4s, for example, will crush a larger skimmer made for a 500-1000 gallon tank. They...

With PetCo, if you view the items logged in, you often will get a another 10% off coupon and free shipping email in a few days if you don't buy. I think the same if you add them to your cart. They have sales sometimes too - the people at reef2reef are good about letting everybody know about...

I am glad that everything worked out. The light will penetrate that hickory floor and yellow/warm it up a bit where the sanding got down to fresh wood not yet exposed to light/UV. It should match pretty well in a few months or a year. The darker stuff will get lighter and the lighter stuff...

I hope that it works, but coralline can grow with very little light. I have a LED shop light, like the kind that you buy at Sams Club over a 72x30x30 tank with only fish and the coralline grows so fast that it will cover the front glass in about a month - it is 12 watts. Coralline always grew...

I forgot to mention that one key to not having algae pop up is not having places for it to get a foothold. Rocks with film algae, film bacteria, live and growing coralline, etc. do not have hair algae growing on them. When you use chemicals like h2o2, you kill everything on the surface of the...

Get some urchins. Pencils, pincushions and rock urchins from the Florida Keys are good, but the pencils and rocks will stay on the turf algae better and they don't pick up your snails and hermits as decorations. Nitrate and phosphate cannot be too high for urchins to thrive. If you don't mind...

Feeling the urge for a Z&P tank, so I was wondering if anybody could put together a pack for me. I can trade acros, or cash. I have given lots of these away, but it was years ago. I like the round ones: Blue Hornets Red Hornets Rastas BEBB Fruit Loops CARs Any Hornet, most likely ...and the...

You have to get the organics off of, or else it it will always be dingy. Soaking and a brush if necessary. H2O2, bleach or your other usual suspect of halogens will get it white again. I think that I remember somebody making a paste of sodium carbonate and h2o2.

It looks like a rock flower anemone inside of a colt coral to me. I have no idea.

35 ppt is full reef salinity. The filefish are not bullies, but they are not complete wimps either. You can usually find them at PetCo and local stores if you want to try one. They cannot get to all of the aips, just like anything else. They also are not guaranteed to eat aips and some even...

I would strongly recommend that you cruise over to reef2reef and read about how bad and unreliable ICP tests really are. You might be able to use them for something, but I would not trust them too much and I would especially not test them enough to dose off of them. If you are worried about...
