yeah very cool did you buy them as a pair?

very cool pics!

you can set up a tank without live rock, most salt water fish tanks of the past were done that way, and many still are. they are easier to clean and keep looking clean and algae is usually not a problem. it is just people looked at them as unnatural and they went kinda out of style.... but...

yep if your lucky it'll turn green

the green brown may actually be a healthy sign "pristine white" means bleached and without zoaxanthelaea, shrinking however may be bad or may just be an aclimation to your system (flow and light). if it is receading from the base that is def bad but do not remove it as any tissue left on this...

sponge

many of the smal calcarious feathers dusters have a red crown - you sure its not just the worm still in its tube? they can be very neat and will act as you described

i would say you should be ok as long as all your other water issues are good

well it's done the fiji tank is no more: and my new frag tank is ready. i just finished the new light set last weekend it is 3x75W VHO pendent - nothing fancy but i will be building a nice oak box for it one day.

alright the new scape is done........ it took nearly 2 months to move everything around but i'm now about 2/3 - 3/4 SPS. i have a bunch of LPS's laying in the sand and still have the zoa mound in the middle. i really like the new look.... pet rock on the left end zoas and LPS lagoon in the...

if you are just adding live rock rubble to the chamber no light is neccessary. fuge lights are only if you want to grow cheato back there. however i have said this before i don't think this practice is neccessary at all. the live rock in the display will more then handle a normal bioload and the...

awesome scape - take some advice now, turn the lights off for a month........ you'll be glad you did 6 months from now.

thats very nice work - thats a nice friend to have

yea i agree PH are a distraction - but a neccessary one, unfortunitly i have to have 6 MJ's in my tank because at the present time i can't afford streams or vortecs. sieos are nice but the big ones are bulky and really stand out. closed lopes are a good alternative but then you need to have...

T5, NO, PC, VHO all are basically the same thing - florescent lighting is flourescent lighting. The advantage in T5's have are: 1) lower energy consumption 2) longer bulb life some say up to two years 3) size (5/8") allows for very effiecient reflectors to get the max amount of light into the...

as far as tanks go 30" are a bit harder to light as you found - not many premade fixtures or bulbs in that length although they do make them - however DIY set-ups can stagger the 24" bulbs or use two MH bulbs to get full coverage. both of those tanks are tall narrow tanks - have you looked at...

nice set - up and i agree with jesse - skip the uv, nature vs tech wins every time in the long run - why have a fuge and then kill everything that grows in it?

yep that thing is nice - i see 7 potential growth tips, frags are always a bit slow to get going but with all those tips it will get started a bit faster :) i think the mj 900's would prob be a better choice - proper placement is going to be very tricky in a shallow tank like yours i just...

thats cool - getting a frag that someone has grown in their tank is always the best, although i must add that i've always had good luck with ORA and F&S originals too i use the natural wave - never had any trouble with it. also a little trick i read somewhere - cut the nozel of your maxis off...

nice brian capnella is a great coral, and thats a nice pic - growing right out of the water :) - i like to watch mine sway back and forth in the tank alright who's next?
