sure, why not? (i have in the past) in the reefs, these are not located near nor need substrate to survive. the big thing is the water flow. most people with bb have a tendency to crank the flow up, just because you can. i also have wrasses right now, but they sleep between rock crevices at...

http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-06/eb/index.php does it look like the "brown jelly" at the bottom of the link?

I think this is an austera New growth on prostrata Disregard the hair algae growing between the prostrata and the cap :D this is FINALLY starting to color up, but is still mostly brown.

I meant this for the T5's sorry. my 2X250's sit about 9 inches up from the water's surface.

average height for halides is about 10-12 inches or higher from the water's surface for a 250w. there was a tank of the month in Reef Central that only had them 6 inches away. heat is the major factor, so throw in a few fans in the hood

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140265836514 I guess one doesn't realize that these "sand fleas" are worth $$$$$$$$ I gotta stop using them for bait and start selling them on online! ....and I catch them by the thousands in the summertime just digging in the sand at the beach!

It looks good! How about a full tank with stand and canopy pic-

IMO, the Eheim 1250 whould suffice

yikes- that quote and answer didnt go quite as planned :)

in addition to low nutrients, a tank without substrate enables one to place a plethora of water turbulence inducing mechanical devices. It's a lot easier to place them in a tank without sand rather than very carefully and strategically placing them so as not to create huge dips/holes in the...

Steve, you'll be ok with a smaller Eheim pump for that tank. I know someone who plumbed it as an external and it worked beautiful. I forget which model though. Substrate- um, you're on your own, lol Liverock- everyone loves Marco rock, but I think you should use what you currently have since...

I did the sandbed a while ago on a 20 standard, keeping mostly LPS on NA bulbs (and when halides were over $600)- I liked the way the sand looked with the LPS I kept, with the lone anemone for my one clown. I never had an algae problem, as water changes came often since it was only a single 5...

I've been contemplating on going with a "generic" type bulb- just for fun From my general understanding, there are only a handful of aquaria type bulb manufacturers out there, and I would like to see if anyone has tried a no-name or less known bulb in the market specific to our hobby...

if they shared the same tank or system water, then you should be ok

Hey Ryan, when I drip acclimate, I simply place the guys still in the sealed bag in my sump or tank for about 15-20 minutes to make the temps equalize. Then, I open up the bags and place them in a bucket, water and all, and start a siphon with a piece of airline tubing until the water volume...

how is he with corals? i've been itching for years to get one.

WOAH, MY SPINE TINGLED WHEN I READ THAT, then I looked around and blushed! .........but now I like yours better! I love your tank!!!

Here's my recipe that I have used with great success in the past years, but have since added frozen spinach, and sheets of lightly dry-chopped/shredded nori since now, I do have a blender :) taken from here: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-01/nftt/index.php Feeding: I feed the fish a...

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. if Air is getting sucked in at a high velocity, it will sound like a gurgle swish, like a flush almost. Try to increase the hole size on the durso standpipe, or you can try to add a length of tubing (the larger size, not airline size) either one...
