Merry Christmas. Hope everyone has a safe and healthy holiday.

2 six line wrasses in a 30 gallon tank? I sure hope that works out for you.

I have never seen nor heard of Coralife selling sand. Are you sure it wasn't CaribSea Ocean Direct sand? If it was the CaribSea, then it is a reef grade sand collected in the Caribbean and does contain quite a bit of larger sized pieces of shell and broken coral. This is the sand I used in my...

What sand did you buy?

Let it run and use either a filter sock or a micron filter pad to help filter out the small particles.

Easy with the caps lock there. lol What T5 light do yo have? Does it have individual reflectors? What bulbs are you running in the T5? You could always change the 2 T5 actinics for 2 more daylight bulbs to give you more usable light.

Depends on what grade of sand you got. Reef grade sand is a mixture of grain sizes and larger shell pieces. All the live sands are sorted by grade/size and all contain shell pieces. The size of the shells depends on the grade of sand you get. Finer the grade, smaller the pieces.

With the corals being high in the tank I would think that light would be enough. Lets see what some others have to say.

How far off the tank are the lights? How far from the light are the corals? 150's are a little on the weak side for a 2 foot deep tank. Most folks use 250's on that size tank. What wattage and spectrum are the T5's? As you can tell it is enough that the corals survive but may not be enough to...

Usual yearly so far. Possibility it could become permanent though. I'll have to see what the new year brings.

Looks great Wendy. Everything looks nice and healthy/happy. I may have to come shopping one of these days.

Join the club. I got laid off Friday.

Maybe a shelf type piece would work on that left side. I got some rock here you can go through.

Looks good Mike. I really like the way you built that corner out.

Nah, I think I'll pass on this one. lol

Thanks a lot folks. I had a good birthday, spent a quiet evening at home with the family. I seem to recall you being older than I am. Maybe you should keep the Geritol for yourself.

Unfortunately, yes.

When this store first opened I thought it had potential. The owner seemed like a decent guy. Needless to say, they went downhill fast. But they do have a nice selection of damsels and coral skeletons to chose from.

Looks like cyano bacteria to me. Just another common occurrence in a new tank. You can siphon it out to keep it under control.
