    Saltwater- poll

    NO. I'm just asking becuase you've mentioned it a few times and I want to get a few other opinions. I really don't know much about it. For me it seems as though organic would be better than synthetic. At least that's what my hippy sister is always telling me. Danny @ Coral Oasis swears to...

    Flow

    yes.... those oh so powerful sandstorms. It's so irritating when you get the rocks set up all perfectly and then I bump the flow director and it blows sand all over everything. My wife agreed to let me spend a few hundred bucks on my tank when I sell my crotch rocket. 2003 600RR Anyone...

    I'm amazed at how cheap the "Hydor Koralia Water Circulation Pump" is. That's quite a name too. I'll probably look into something like that then. Just for clarification though. That pump doesn't replace the pump in my filter right? it just sits in the tank and circulates in the display...

    I'm using the stock power head that came with it. There was absolutely no information about it in the box. www.aquaeurousa.com . There is no information on their website either. I've e-mailed them a few times and have recieved no response. I'm going to pull it out of it's hole tonight and...

    My tank came with no information or specs on the pump. I have no clue how much water is flowing in my tank. It looks like enough, but I really don't know. I have some Zoanthids that came with my live rock and they seem happy. my two little fish are getting moved around by it. What is...

    IT's a Good Day!

    OK..... My Tomato... Bob is his name.... isn't eating. I'm assuming that's normal for him to not want to eat untill he's comfortable. I have pellets and the four pack of different frozen entres. He didn't want any of it. Is that the proper food for a clown? My damsel loves all of it. I...

    IT's a Good Day!

    I went ahead and got a Tomato Clown.... He and the damsel are getting along pretty well. The clown is the new king of the castle. I have a few months before I'm going to do the lighting so I'll post what ever I end up doing. Thanks for all the advice.

    I wanna do it myself lighting.

    The 150w K2 Viper HQI is probably the way to go huh? It seems to be the only 150W that's close to $200. Plus it's small. I might be able to take the arm off and mount it under my hood with a couple (or more) of fans. Any thoughts on that idea ;-) ?

    I wanna do it myself lighting.

    OK.... Jesse mentioned that the T5HO' are to big for my tank which leaves me with the MH. will the 70w MH work 3" above the surface or should I go with the 150 watt? SkipM said in another post that he'd recommend the 150. even for my 12.5 gallon. But if I'm going to mount it with-in my hood...

    IT's a Good Day!

    :sad: I guess I'll wait on the anomone till I get a bigger tank then. OH well. Thanks everyone for the heads up. I'll probably get a percula then. My niece will like it better anyway because, well, you know. Or a tomato? My wife and I went to fiji for our Honeymoon and fell in love with...

    IT's a Good Day!

    I could definitely go with a pendant if I was interested in doing things the easy way. you'd really go with 150 W with a 12.5 gallon? Doesn't that seam a bit much? you'd know better then I of course. I've e-mailed Chris @ Nanotuners about possibly putting their 70 w MH retro fit in it. (He...

    I wanna do it myself lighting.

    Jesse, I just saw your do it yourself lighting ballast. I think that would work for me. Ok now the question is. What kind of lights should I use and how much wattage in order to keep happy clams? If I need a MH for a clam I think I have an idea for that with some fans and what not. Thanks

    I wanna do it myself lighting.

    I've searched and searched on line for lighting ideas. I have a 12.5 gallon Aqua Euro USA tank that no body makes anything for besides Aqua Euro USA. Got it at my LFS. 2x18 watt compact flourescents came with it. I eventually want to get an anemone, some crazy coral and a clam. That would...

    IT's a Good Day!

    The problem is that I love the gold striped maroon clown...... I know they're the biggest of the clowns yet on Saltwaterfish.com they say minimum tank size is 10 gallons for this fish. i'm a whopping 25% bigger. 12.5 gallon. Also I'd buy a baby which is only like 1-1/2" and hopefully I'll...

    IT's a Good Day!

    I just wanted to announce that my tank is finally cycled. It's been 5 weeks since I set it up. I don't know if the cycle completing has cleared up my algae problem or if it's my two little blue leg Hermits. All the algae is gone and I've got coralline growing everywhere. So fish...
