I'm currently running the mini coralife 18 watt fixture; they are two bulbs in there at 10,000K. It's centered over a small patch of cheato that I purchased 3 months ago. The light is sitting on top of a 20 gallon tall sump. The cheato rest exactly 10.5 inches away from the light, since the...

Andre, I have the blue coral banded shrimp it doesn't grow bigger than a cleaner shrimp. How did you CBS kill all your shrimp in such a big reef? Mike

Hi Reefers, I'm really in shock after comming home last night with a new edition to add to my reef; I purchased a blue coral banded shrimp on the advice of one of my reputable LFS. As I am acclimating him to the tank I notice that my largest SPS coral on one entire branch is completey...

Hannah, It's not too late to save your fishes. I need to know some questions; how big is your tank? Do you have invertabrates; shrimp, corals, etc? What is the temp of your tank? If this is strictly a fish only tank you can dose with meds into this tank, but realize that further down...

Unfortunately, It sounds like ich. With the introduction of the new clown fish 2 weeks ago, you might have introduced the ich. Did you quarantine your fish prior to placing him in, under some coppersafe meds? What LFS did you purchase him from, hopefully not petco or petsmart. Ich...

Just give him one more week, he should show at that time his descision to vacate or stay. Mike

Sadie is right, Don't do it, both those clowns are super aggressive, I've owned both before at different times. The maroon clown got so aggressive when I added a bubble anenome, he took it on his own to rearrange my tank; where ever the anenome went, the clown would follow and it there...

Very nice on the reef building... Mike

Absolutely gorgeous, I love your tank, your equipment, and your aquascaping. You are doing a pristine job on this reef. I love the way you are documenting everything and choosing stealth equipment for filtration. If you place your ear to your tank, your fish are bragging about how clean...

I have had several feather duster worms in my time, two of which I own now. When they shed, they usually keep their tube, just that they stay in it for about 1 week. End result is them peaking their head out of the old tube to reveal a small crown. If they ditch the tube all together, they...

Reefman, Get the velvet nudi, it would be better than chemical warfare; flatworm exit by Salifert. Yes I heard they die after the job is completed but it's far better than chemicals in your tank. Make sure to remove him and take him to the LFS they will give you credit because a lot of...

Well, Maybe not 20,000 leagues under the sea, how about a 72 gallon reef tank and it's not Captain Nemo driving the sub but instead Mike Guerrero. Enjoy the pics, I had fun playing with the new mini sub my brothers girlfriend gave me during my x-mas break. The green tentacle looking...

One velvet nudi will wipe out that colony of flatworms.... Mike

Sadie, Take a look at Dragons full tank pic, can you find the Orange Monti? If you do let me know how orange it looks? Mike G P.S Dragon, your aquascapping looks a lot better with more room at the bottom, good job. By the way, be waching this thread as I will let Joleen know about...

Steven, Before you can conclude that the fans Chris at nanocustoms sold you are bad fans you must drive your new fans under the same conditions the old fans endured. Only then could you make such a statement about his fans. Any scientific study will tell you before you promote your...

Hi Skip, When I bring home a new coral, which I've been hunting only SPS I try to find it a spot on my rock formation. I take a hard look at my reef before I go the LFS, then I try to find a particular coral that will make that fit. Once I bring it home after acclimation, I play with the...

Wow Sadie, That's not a laughing matter, I really hope you are okay. My grandmother missed the last step on a set of stairs leading to my brothers basement. She didn't brake her ankle but crashed her knee and face on the cement; she's okay but it was very scary. I am glad you didn't...

Hey Reefers, Here is an update on my tank; I took several pictures at a distance and then close ups. I feel I'm starting to get maturity with my purple coraline. Mike G.

Yes Skipm, Each light is rated at 18 watts of power and I have two of them giving me 36 watts total power. They are also 50/50 bulbs; actinic and daylight. Mike

I photographed my tank with a smaller resolution so reefers can view it's progess much easier. I also decided to add a second Whisper 10 filter to give me really good flow on both sides of the tank. The heater is really hidden behind the live rock and the tank should be cyled in another 20...
