Oh, this could be a really long post. I will try to make it short and truncated. LR: 30lbs for a FO, 50lbs for a Reef (corals) LS: About 30lbs...
I would create more caves and hiding spots for fish. Also, the corals you choose may like differing elevations in the tank. So I would build up one...
Here is a nice post about fragging Zoas. Most of the work being done, you only have to follow part of it. Do be careful with Zoas though. They can...
Oh yes. I had a zoa rock cleared in no time. The mushroom leather nibbled on real good. I amped up the feeding with Nori and that has mellowed her...
LOL!!! Dude, be patient;D!! You ask a solid question regarding the inclusion of the sump water in the total volume with regard to stocking. The...
I will see mine about once every three weeks or so. If they are invisible it is a good sign. When they come out to eat.....that means the sandbed...
I have had some ich outbreaks and have found that good params and garlic work just fine. Probably gonna get flayed for typing that out, but hey,...
I second that. And there are some suggestions in Packleader's 200g thread toward the end.
That's cool man.....just throwing it out there.....
Congrats on the purchase. It's a sweet fixture dude. Best to choose either an SPS dominant or LPS/Softie dominant though, as element levels tend to...
The sump/fuge is a great idea. However, I am more of a believer of more surface area for gas exchange being more important than water volume. So...
You don't need to do that. You will just have too much power and will need to dial it back anyway. Are you thinking about putting in a sump?...
Yep. Modify the plumbing (don't forget your ball valves!!!) for your input. Drill and install a bulkhead for your output into the sump. Simple....
Anemones can be kept under T5s. However. Big however. I don't recommend anemones in any tank less than a year old owned and operated by an...
I agree. My nine year old is already planning his first tank when he grows up. Little does he know I am going to outfit him one this next year. He...
BTW. While I was typing my last response, my daughter (6) started in "Go to iCarly.com, Go to iCarly.com". I dare any of you to do so. I am just...
What SPS can you not keep in the T5 lit tank? Are there some ABSOLUTELY NOT species that only do well under MH? Or is the success just a measure of...
Be careful. My CB likes algae strips (Nori), flake food and CORALS (specifically, mushroom leathers and Zoas). I really dig this kind of info....
And I had forgotton just how expensive the Maristar was. Wow. They are a pricey unit are they not??!!!!!
You got that right!!!! Combinations, unless tested individually, are difficult to predict. Well, that pic is a little blue even in the day. Looks...
