    Best place for live rock?

    What would be the best place to get live rock? All I see in my LFS are these yellow chunks and purple aquacultured stuff. :noidea:

    Anemone nuking?

    Is it a fish only reef or are there some inverts in there (minus the anemones)

    Anemone nuking?

    Wow, was there any trick you did to get them to mix? My one lfs said they get along and the other LFS told me no look alike tangs together.

    Help! Peacock mantis molting!

    I have a large peacock mantis. He was living in a 30 gallon with a nice cave. All the fish in my 29 reef started dropping like they were dying from a contaminent. So inorder to save them I had to put them in his tank.. naturally we all knew what would happen mixing him with the fish.. so I...

    Anemone nuking?

    I don't want to go too crazy on lighting like said no sps or clam... I just want what I need to keep the anemone, and corals like star polyps, pom pom xenia, leather, ricordae yuma and thats it, no LPS. Either way, do those Maxspect LEDs spread or do they just make a beam going down? how many...

    Anemone nuking?

    Thats what I always say to people wanting to do saltwater.. I think its easier, and cleaner than fresh mainly due to some tanks being self substaining. Alright I guess that decides it! I'm gonna give it try... I'm just gonna leave my harlys in a nano for viewing and target feeding purposes but...

    Anemone nuking?

    Don't worry I'm gonna let the tank be at a stable level for a straight year first.. maybe longer after my first experience. I wanted to have 5 ocellarius clowns in a BTA so what I might do is put the BTA in my 30 gallon mantis tank, leave the mantis where he is right now in the 6.6, then I'll...

    Anemone nuking?

    Make sense.. when my 125 is setup I'm going to do 15% water changes every week on a specific day. Now my problem still unsolved by everybody as I keep getting mixed answers is... will the anemone sting, kill, hurt, or do anything to any of my fish.. there will be alot of inverts in the 125, for...

    Cleaner shrimp no feeding

    Not all shrimp are herbivores. Infact I don't know any shrimp thats a herbivore in saltwater to be honest. Take harlequin shrimp, pistol shrimp, bumblebee shrimp, anemone shrimp, etc. as examples. they are all carnivores whether its scavenger, hunters, or even anemone mucus they have a wide...

    Harlequin shrimp compatibility?

    I'm skipping on the anemone crabs apparently they do need an anemone.. now I'm just thinking that the bumblebee shrimp will fight for the starfish... personally what I would love above and beyond is a pair of picta and a pair of elegans but I doubt they could mix huh?

    Sponges?

    Ok, now should the sponges thrive in the 125 with feedings of marine snow every day or every other day. I think I got off topic with this thread:sorry: I need to get:focus: (wow I just can't get over my 1 year anniversary in the hobby is the 17th of september... and I feel like I need to start...

    Sponges?

    I only use test strips along with my chemical test every one in a while as a second opinion test to make sure the chemical is working right. I use API brand for testing. So when I setup my 125.. and have the given ammount of rock and sand.. then once its cycled and slowly added with livestock...

    Sponges?

    I use chemical test kits mostly. I mix salt using a paint stick.. a bucket filled with water and instant ocean sea salt. Ocassionally I'll use stip test along with chemicals to make sure everything is accurate.

    Sponges?

    I will have my water change and it will drop to 7.8 on me..then it will swing overnight like ph does and I have to fix it. My DKH was testing 27!! and I can't seem to bring it down without having to fix something else... only to raise it again.

    Anemone nuking?

    Ok, When I setup my 125 I plan this: 200 lb. of sand, 125 lb of rock, sump refugium with skimmer and canister and lots of macro, I also got these metal halide bulbs for it, but they look nothing like the ones in the lfs so I'm a little scared to use them... I was thinking a T5/ High par LED. I...

    Sponges?

    Ok, all I know is that when I started saltwater, I just walked into the store, seen an orange spot mantis, and they handed me reef buffer, a 2 gallon, live sand and rubble, saltwater master test kit, hydrometer, instant ocean salt mix, and told me to just follow the instructions. (they also told...
