No don't assume that. I believe mnat has done some work with hydrogen peroxide to kill it before putting it in. You can google it just FYI.

Certainly not a complete myth. Think it is more problematic then two tangs less problematic two Siamese fighting fish.

I would think that our actinic bulbs fall in the UV catagory no? Think they are just mean. ;)

Dude great job, way to persevere. Looks like all the hard work has paid off.

Come to think of it I have not seen any in my tank since I got a 4 line wrasse. Could be that he took care of them.

You do take super macro shots...remember I couldn't even recognise my own corals when you took them.

Go for the tangs...also if you want movement go for the smaller angel you were thinking about. Or a blennny is cool too. Figure I had two tangs and a blenny in a smaller QT. Just keep the fish on the small side and you will be fine. Do your water changes to keep the waste down. Corals come as...

I liked shaving bush plants...did pretty well for a while, and turtle grass was good too. I have considered them but don't have a lot or realestate left.

In a 45 G you should be fine so long as they are smaller sized IMHO. I kept 2 tangs and a blenny in a smaller tank then that, not optimal but for QT you make do. I do hypo from day one slowly dropping the salinity over a week then after 3-4 weeks of no ick I start to raise back up slowly. I...

Lots of live rock ships damp, hope all works out.

He QTs all his fish before hand so they are disease free. Has more limited stock but a lot of people swear by him.

Looks real good. From your stocking list I would indeed add the two tangs last. If you have a big enough QT you can do 3 fish...my experience was the two tangs you were thinking of and a blenny in my 24G QT. Not huge fish mind you but medium sized. You have to keep up serious water changes on a...

I had a thought(scary huh?), what is your PH? What do you have to facilitate gas exchange? A skimmer would do it, or overflow, or HOB filter. Just hate to see you have a super low PH due to the completely sealed top.

Noise and reliabilty wise for the cost the Mag is great. Heat entirely different story. With the Mag 18 you can run a good manifold size wise.

Yeah that tank might be a bit small for QTing those. Just make sure you QT your fish. Bunch of explanations on how to do it. Unless you buy from Dr Jim then you are good to go. That tank will be good going forward for smaller fish though. Good to know you are planning ahead. :)

Congrats!!! Sounds like you are doing good. How about a pic.

I never noticed noise with my Mag pump for what it is worth. At least with the ball valve you can tune it to see what is what with the water sound.

Current makes it called the Nano Fission. Junk

Nano fission is real crap. I ran fuge, chemical filtration and floss.

OK this one I can help with I hope. First make sure that none of you drain hoses have dips in them this results in a flushing sound. (yes my living room sounded like a public bathroom) Next the small holes are fine but you may or may not want them. Will at AO gave me a great tip if you have...
