  1. Pentagona

    An interesting damsel. Neoglyphidodon sp. Id?

    Are you sure their not just a juvinile coloration of Pomacentrus bankanensis?
  2. Pentagona

    Pictures

    It's actually a psuedocorynactus or orange ball anemone. If.....and I really mean *IF* they get to be full size, they can be up to about 5" in diameter and could potentially eat small fish. However, with their appetite you would have to really regularly target feed them. Most stay smaller...

    just shoowing off

    The one like yours. A piece had broken off and had some bare skeleton around it so Jonas clipped it and cleaned it up for me.

    just shoowing off

    WooHoo, picked up a piece of this same Cyphasetrea that they had left over from the bigger colony last night.

    just shoowing off

    You know, I really don't think they get enough credit for the stuff they have. I know I've picked up some really nice pieces from them. Most recently a nice ORA Hawkins frag.

    Very nice!!! Where'd you get it from?

    How much head pressure do I have?

    That would be fine....you'll probably just have to play with the placement a while until you get the flow you want exactly.

    How much head pressure do I have?

    Yeah, I would leave the Seio out of the mix for now, unless you're planning an SPS only tank.

    Need an ID on this coral

    That's what initially thought too mike, but the skeleton almost looks like it's thin and scrolling like a fox. Hwey jgraeff, maybe you can describe the skeleton a little for us, it's just a little hard to tell from the picture. Is it thicker and round/oblonged, or is it really thin and kind of...

    How much head pressure do I have?

    Not a problem at all. Having the powerheads pointed slightly down will take care of most of the detritus on the sand, however I still recomend using something like a wood paint stirrer or something to stir the top couple of inches once a week or so, and just before doing water changes.

    My 55g Reef

    Unfortunately, none of the above will sustain him over the long term. These guys really need live pods to thrive. This is a perfect example of why it pays to have a really good LFS that will educate newer tank owners, as well as doing your own research on the species before making a purchase...

    Need an ID on this coral

    Hard to be 100% sure from the picture, but looks like a fox coral to me!

    Goniopora polyformis

    ABSOLUTELY! Though if you miss a day here and there I wouldn't stress too badly over it.

    How much head pressure do I have?

    I wouldn't have anything pointed at the surface. Put your power heads in opposite corners of the tank angled at about 45 degrees right to left, and place them up high in he tank, angled down about 30 degrees, then point your locline in a manner that will intersect the flow from the powerheads.

    Goniopora polyformis

    Actually 6500-6700k is closest to the suns kelvin rating, but appears very yellow in our tanks. That's why people choose 10000k. Gives off nice white light while staying relatively close to the lower kelvin ratings that are best for growth, not neccessarily coloration.

    Goniopora polyformis

    As far as local dealers go for frozen cyclopeeze, I know for sure blue sierra carries it. Pretty sure Barrier Reef does too. Don't know about any of the stores in the north end, though as popular as it is, I'm sure somebody does.

    Goniopora polyformis

    The mysis is good, try serving whole. Cyclopeeze, while a great food, is even still a little small. When I say they like it chunky I mean they like it chunky. I wouldn't worry about the phyto, does nothing for them and will eventually lead to a bloom in your tank if you're not careful. Very...

    Mystery crab

    Probably some sort of rock crab, get him out while you know where he lives and squish him!
  19. Pentagona

    I.D. please

    I've got a couple of those sponges in my tank....totally harmless

    How much head pressure do I have?

    If you're wanting to keep SPS I'd recomend a total flow of at least 30x maybe even closer to 50. 90x30=2700gph. Subtract the 760 you already have and you have to come up with another 1940gph from powerheads. A couple of Koralia 3's or 4's would be sufficient in this case. To get closer to...
