I have a submersible on my tank currently (might change here soon) and its true there is a lot of heat added to the system due to it being submersible vs external, so much so that i could run heaterless for the majority of the year except that my house is on the cold side. I'd recommend...

*marked down as yet another reason i want to visit japan* dang whale sharks and eagle rays in an aquarium....

then again it will probably take him days to finish filling it drip by drip so the extra calcium can only help, right?

congrats on the hard work, the new clutch, and the success you've had/will have! I'm in for one/pair when they get big enough. Looks like you have a new side business to fund your saltwater addiction!

a beautiful compliment to the zoas i say

although that anecdote about lights is interesting, i'd have to say its more about flow/water quality, zoos like dirtier water (stuff to catch from the water column) and so it would make sense that they would extend their tentacles (skirts) to try and catch things floating by then again i have...

I see someone who fell in love the the pictures from *cough reef mystique cough* and just had to have one. I wanted one too, but controlled myself. At any rate, good luck with the cool fish, stay away from smaller fish cause this little guy won't...

my 6line liked to atleast pick at them, not sure if ate them but he was certainly interested. though he got suspicious when i'd check him out while he was checking out the tube worms...

can you describe the "white patch" or better yet get a picture? The hiding and not eating is normal, if you don't see him out and about in 1-2 days there might be something wrong. Offer up food and eventually he'll become less skittish and come out to investigate the food situation.

I think this would be highly detrimental to the community as a whole, because people that have no interest in either forum would be hit with it. Not only are some new people directed to talk to specific members for advice on specific things (such at skimmerwhisperer) but you'd see newbies...

also if you do get a mandarin i'd go for the female (first if not the only one) I had a "pair" in my 125 and the male, even prior to a female, spent a good amount of time "fighting off his rival" who was his reflection on the inside of the glass. This ended up being his demise as he spent more...

have you run the numbers on how much cost/gallon you reach with all the costs involved (electricity, supplies, membranes, etc.)? I know its highly efficient in terms of reducing waste water, but it seems like all the money invested to reduce the waste outweighs the cost of the water. Heck waste...

not sure on the pvc (which should be reef safe, no reason i can think of why it won't) but you can just use some black locline

sorry about the confusion... its 72x23x23 (those are internal dims too, just to be fun)

I'll give him a call tomorrow hopefully he can steer me into the perfect lighting scheme for my tank

What brand would be the best, seems like they all come with IC660's to overdrive the 39w, wouldn't it be better to only slightly overdrive the 54W?

Sid you've got me convinced, (seen pictures of your tank) to go t5's, I wanted so desperately to go this route as the system is in my mom's house, which i'd be paying the entire power bill in doing my mh's. Anyone got some recommendations of fixtures/retros for the hood? I'm thinking atleast a 8...

I was planing on going to target or something to get a couple clip on fans for putting an in and out for the stand, I can certainly do the same for the hood. Just looked up LED prices.... 3 grand for LED's now or 3 grand over then next 5yrs in power/bulb costs....

I have a single t5 lighting my 180 temporarily while I decide what to do lighting wise, time I finally jump on that as corals are gonna be added soon. Dims of the tank are 23x23x72, 1/2in acrylic. I have 10in from the surface of the acrylic to the underside of the canopy, and another 1-1.5in...

how big is the space, enough for your fist? you can always just try to scrape the inside and collect the bodies on the other end trick otherwise try a pep shrimp good luck
