Not sure if i'm in the right place to ask this but i'm looking for a list of corals DEFINATELY safe with idol's. Has been hit and miss for me lately and all i have discovered so far is soft corals are all ok(except zoanthids, assuming they are classed as a soft coral?). A few stoney's have been...

I've had my 6" naso for over a month now and he looks very healthy except for a pinch look right at the tip of his belly. He feeds on spirulina brine, Hikari marine pellets and dried Nori. Any other natural food is hard to come by and don't know what else to do. He goes nuts at feeding time but...

Long story short, this tank was a reef once but sold off corals to do diff fish. Had no luck with the fish so doin a reef again. I am workin on it slowly, any ideas would be great please!!

Prob a good question for Lee, if i add a small Idol to my 190g, would there be fighting with my current Moorish??? One LFS said it would be fine, another said i'm asking for trouble.

I bought this coral a few mths back and it wouldn't open up for 2 weeks, i thought it was dying so gave it to a mate and it started thriving after 2 days:confused:. He gave it back to me yesterday and my moorish got stuck into it as soon as it hit the water:mad: (obviously why it didnt open for...

I was watching a documentary yesterday and saw a tang which i have never seen before. The best description i can give is looked like from Acanthurus family, black (very dark colour anyway), blue rim through dorsal section and the spine near the tail was yellow. Have tried countless searches on...

Made everything myself (with a friend, dad's mate did cabinet under my design). Approx 190g 15mm Starphire polished and bevelled! Hope you like!!

I have put a tomato clown in my sump and plan on putting a couple of seahorses in there too. Just curious if it would cause dramas if i added a second tomato clown to the sump?

I currently use 2 Rio 3500L/ph pumps for circulation and one has decided to play up and p$#s me off after one and a half years. As good as the Tunze setups are i can't justify the $1200 quote i got so i'm looking at these Sunsun pumps at 5000L/ph. I know that they are a cheap brand but would two...

I was wondering if it is heard of for a yellow tang and moorish idol to eat zooanthids? I have added some to the tank and these two fish have smashed it! Around the same time (give or take a day or two) i added acropora and a pipe organ and they don't even look at them.

Are hermits short lived?? I can't seem to keep them alive longer than six months. I don't think food is a prob as i am a fairly heavy feeder. My cucumber and a couple of trochus i have had for a year or two are healthy but nt sure if they would be competition for food with hermits.

Alright my new sump is pretty much finished, custom 290ltr tank, 6" deep plenum using shell grit, approx 25lbs live rock (with more to come). Two 2" damsels and a 15" brittle star taking care of excess food. There is a phosphate filter in there too but is currently unused, should i use it for...

I am in the market for a new skimmer and am thinking of moving away from reef octopus. I now have in my sights the 'Aqua Medic T.5000 Twin'!(rated for 1250gal). Is this rediculous overkill for my tank(190gal) or should i go for it? Any suggestions welcome, i am a huge fan of skimming!
