    New Dual Output Powerhead

    I have that powerhead in my 60gal reef tank and I highly recommend it. Although I am only using the single port. The only maintenance I have do to it, is clean it out with Q-tip every other month.

    New Tank

    If you purchase this canopy request a actinic & 10,000 k bulb. any 250w metal halide bulb is ok. Personally I have no metal halides on my tank because the bulbs are expensive and produce alot of heat, unless a fan is built into the fixture. The rule of thumb for reef wattage lighting is 3-5...

    New Tank

    Yes that MH/VHO canopy top is perfect. You should not have to upgrade after buying that. The only expense is bulb replacement.

    New Tank

    The powerheads that you bought should be enough to circulate water in your tank and provide some current. The lighting depends on what types of corals and inverts you plan on keeping in your tank?

    That light fixture on e-bay is fine for what you want to do.

    New Tank

    Most all the LR you may order online will be uncured or partially cured. I ordered 40# of Kaelini Rock and got about 50# for my 60gal aquarium. Set up my canister filter with bio rings and activated carbon. Also ran my skimmer. No lighting. Tank took almost 4wks to cycle. Make sure you test the...

    New Percs

    The markings are perfect. I have a pair that looks very similar. They originated from the Solomon Isle. Make sure you don't have any large openings in your tank! I had one originally jump out of the tank. Found him lying on the carpet the next morning. Talk about heart breaking, not alone...

    Anenome Choice?

    I was wondering, I have 2 true Percula clowns . Seem to be paired. (Did not buy them like that.) They have taken to a electric green LTA. I want to purchase a Rose Bubble Tip Anenome. Will the percs switch to inhabiting that anenome instead? Does a genus type anenome attract more to true percs...

    Please help.....

    Water quality,lighting and Biological& Mechanical filtration are crucial for success! Purchase a decent water test kit. Start off with inexpensive livestock. I also recommend a saltwater aquarium beginner's book and read some each day. Good Luck!

    What is the Best Clownfish???

    I shave some pieces cyclopeeze off the brick, and put the brick back in a freezer storage bag before returning it to the freezer. This way it avoids any freezerburn and lasts longer.

    Tang selection for Reef Tank?

    Wondering what breed of Tang is best suited in a Reef Tank that has soft corals, anenomes, and shrimp. My tank is a 60gal. with 40lbs of LR. Was thinking about purchasing a yellow tang. Any ideas would be appreciated?

    What is the Best Clownfish???

    I have 2 true percula clowns. I also feed them cyclopeeze, spirulina flakes and mysis shrimp. They seem to be very healthy and vibrant. I also highly recommend the cyclopeeze. It is sold as a frozen brick.
