Ahh okay, didn't know that.... Mike

Hey B, Here is my tank with thin sand bed, four 20 lbs bags... And here it is with six 20 lbs bags... Which look do you guys like??? I would like the add one or two more bags... Mike

Is it okay to have 2 inch sand bed in a 72 gallon bowfront? I've placed the old sand from my two old 12 gallon cubes; about 35 lbs. Then I purchased two new bags of live sand 40 lbs... Well, the sand bed looks very thin about 1' and a quarter. I like the deep look myself, but I don't know...

Sadielynn, I'll make you a promise, as soon as all my stuff is up and running I will photograph everything and if it is still healthy with all this moving, you will be my first frag buddy... My brother Dragon79 has a huge colony of organ pipes that are growing very healthy I wonder if he...

Thanks B, Mike I have the goby from the first link... They are very pretty, the clown goby...

Sadielynn, Your words of encouragement go a long way with me, so thanks. I've decided to just go with live rubble in the sump area and no live sand, I'm trying to set one side for the macro algae and one side for the rubble. That way I don't have all this stuff entangled in the future...

B, The links don't want to work? Can you double check them? Thanks, Mike

Sounds like a plan, going to do just that.... Can you give me an idea what light you recommend over my sump?? How much wattage?? I have the coralife mini 18 watt 10,000K , would that do the job? Mike

Hey guys and gals, Thanks for the comments. I'd like to go with a DSB on this tank. But I'm not too sure what kind of stuff I could place in my main sump?? Any ideas?? Am I suppose to leave it bare?? Or am I suppose to place live sand in there and create a refugium or live rubble...

Hey reefers, I've decided to start a diary of my bow front and share with you all, it's evolution, enjoy..... It arrived Monday August 15th 2005....

I have the Yosha goby pair and when I added them to my nano cube, the bigger one divorced his mate and shacked in with my pistol shrimp. I was sad to see the pair break up there relationship for a ugly little shrimp... Mike

Crocea are not lower light clams. They are very beautiful and blue in color nothing like the dersea. The crocea has a lot of turquise and tints of blues that make them eye catchers... Mike

Hey Sugar and Incysor, Can you give me some insight on the purchase of either an sump only skimmer vs an outside skimmer? My two choices are the Deltec AP-600 outside skimmer or the Deltec Turbo 1250 inside sump only skimmer. The price is identical, yet I will have to puchase a separate...

DJ, I'm shopping for my protein skimmer. Would you get the Deltec Turbo 1250 or the Euro protein skimmer??? Any ideas of pros or cons??? Also, do you recommend any place to purchase premium live rock online that would make my tank shine... I have about 20 pounds already from both my...

I don't know about Maximas, but I would recommend a crocea clam, they have very beautiful varieties to choose from and they would do good under your lighting. I had two do really well under my 109 watts of PC lighting in a 12 gallon cube.... mike

Hahah, Steve you are funny, I was wondering why you were suggesting that little guy. He would hide and I would never see him... I had them before in a 20 gallon long and he dissappeared, died because of the heat issues, they like cool water.... Mike

I have a question; should I run my 72 bowfront with or without it's glass top. I've heard some reefers say that evaporation is really good and you shouldn't place the glass top. What do you guys and gals think? I think the glass would prevent my fish from carpet surfing but I don't know...

Master er, Be warned that the maroon clown are very aggressive as the grow, and they get big. I use to have one that I thought was so cute and he got big quick and out grew my first 12 gallon cube... They move around rocks when you place an anenome for them... Meaning they knock them out...

Hi Reefers, My LFS called me this morning and gave me great news, they shipped in the Oceanic reef ready 72 gallon bowfront. I was so happy because I didn't want a second grade tank, the AGA. If I could drive an Acura over a Honda I would, and this is how I feel about the Oceanic; I just...

Master er, The large ones would be gobbled up by a six line wrasse just like Incysor said... They are like lions on the safarai and love copepods... Mike
