At this point I've only used a friends. It's a DIY, but it looks similar to this. http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem. ... uct=UL1511 You tie a bit of fishing line to the sliding door and put food in the back of it. when they go in you let go of the line and the door closes. Here's...

Interesting. I'm not having that issue at all. I hit back, and just goes back to the search results page. Although there might be some kind of timeout setting somewhere that could be extended. I wasn't really reading through the threads that I pulled up with my test search. Just opened up a...

I've never managed to capture a damsel with a net. I've always had to use a trap. B

I got a program called aquatrac for my palm. I managed to keep it up for about 2 weeks. After that I stopped entering in data. There was nothing wrong with the program at all. I'm just too lazy to use it. :mrgreen: B

They're very similar critters.... Distinguishing Characteristics These types of coral do not contain symbiotic zooxanthellae in their tissues, and their red to deep purple appearance is solely due to their own pigments. Not requiring light for food energy, these corals populate the roofs...

I did look it up before replying. On all of RC there are a few posts saying that sexys ate mushrooms and zoos. All the posts are by one person. On reefs.org there aren't any reports of this. nano-reef by far had the most reports, but mostly they were that the sexys were irritating the zoos...

LOL...I've never heard of one. Sounds like a bullsh*tter to me. The thing is these corals aren't really photsynthetic, so day/night doesn't seem to mean much to them. In the wild they prefer shady areas on the reef, and depending on how shady they may be open during the day. My lights come...

I've looked on and off for a couple days...I didn't find anything that described any habits of the shrimp you have....But I did find it. Site you found it on has the name wrong apparently. There's not tons more, info on them, but it appears they're starfish eaters, like harleqins and bumble...

Sure...Keep us updated. Hopefully it'll start extending it's polyps again shortly. B

Just leave it alone. Put it where it has room to grow, and then leave it be. Constantly moving it around means it has to adjust to new currents/lighting each time. Your clowns may be irritating it a bit, but it'll probably get past that point if it's in one place for long enough to fully...

Sorry to say it but I disagree...You just got a new coral in. There's going to be stuff all over that new piece for scavengers to eat. Either through die-off, or just different food particles than are normally in your tank. Every time I get a new piece of coral my shrimp, and hermits are...

It may take awhile to get them to all fully open. You just want to wait until they're extended a bit to feed, because spraying them down with food before the polyps are extended is a waste. You may have to wait a bit after the lights are off. It took me a couple weeks to 'train' mine to come...

The sump should work just fine for you. The general idea is to get the entire tanks water to turn over 10-12 times per hour. Since you are using a 10g tank, that would mean a pump that can put out 120gph with whatever head pressure you'll have. I'd go with a mag 3 or mag 5 in your sump with a...

It's probably not a good idea to hook up a 70w bulb to a 175w ballast. Here's a quick link to a 70w one. Welcome to the site. Brian http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant ... PFOballast

Depending on how large the coral is you can make a feeding 'cap' by cutting the bottom off a plastic soda bottle then you can put the bottle over the coral squirt the food inside it and the fish can't really get to it. It keeps the current from carrying the food away before the polyps can grab...

Percs like flow....If she's not floating, or on her side, or upside down, but swimming in a healthy fashion she's probably just playing in the current. B

They look fantastic man. Great job. B

Contrats guys. Great pics. B

If it's 20" wide you can easily go with one of these: http://hellolights.com/201xcoaqpcho.html If it's shorter you might need to DIY a light setup. B

Hex tanks are often problematic to fit lights over....What are the actual dimensions for the space you have to put the light? B
