I have a Talbot in there that comes out when food hits the water.

Well I seem to be getting a general consensus about LA so ill just avoid them for now. **An updated pic of my tank. The 3 fish I have in here just hide all day so it looks empty.

If I was close enough I would.

Hey all, Has anyone here recently ordered from liveaquaria? In particular fish from them? The LFS selections suck down here so and I was thinking about placing a order through them. I know LA had been around forever but I've never ordered fish online before so im a lil cautious.

Yea im still lurking around. The Florida reef club here sux so im kinda homeless.

Hey all, its been a while, almost a year exactly since I've 1st filled the tank with water. Just some updated pix.

I'm running this one: TMC Reef Skim 500 for my 66g and it's been a beast. It's very finicky with the settings but once I dialed it in, no issues whatsoever. Pulled tea colored skim on the 1st day...

My issue with them was the size as the one I had was huge and really didn't fit in my sump.

Yea I was looking at the IceCap heaters as they seem to be pretty affordable.

Question to all: So I have very limited space in my sump and was thinking about getting 2x heaters for some redundancy. What i need something around the 200watt range. Can I get away with running 2x 100/150watt heaters so I can get a more condensed model that I can place in the sump?

Yea I have one in my Amazon shopping cart, I've just been testing manually for now.

I don't think it was the powerhead, typically fish can get away from a pumps in-take assuming they are in good health w/o issue (unless it's a massively oversized pump which that unit is not) Have you checked the salinity? Another thought could be the angel itself. If you didn't quarantine...

I have a temporary power head off to the side that I used just to mix the saltwater in the tank. I'll also need to pick up some new ones at some point before I add fish.

Now it's the waiting game. Tank is filled and cycling. I used Dr.Tim's one and only and it's Amonium Cloride to start it. Ita been going for about a week now and although not ready yet, my pod order came earlier than expected so I just tossed them in. I can always replenish later on if I need...

I also completed my scape, just letting it hang out a bit so the epoxy can cure.
