What kind of pumps/lights are you running? Something to consider would be finding more efficient pumps/lights. They will be more expensive -but may help out in your temp fluctuations. Keep in mind the fans will help but also increase the rate of evaporation.

I think danny's 180 is BB. The folks that believe in BB are pretty adamant. On the other side of the coin is Bill and those who believe sand is an integral part of the tank. We have a thread like this every so often. Frankly if we didn't, I'd probably have a lot less posts to read...lol. BB vs...

yes totally agree!

Birds Fan - where are my manners. Welcome to NJRC!

we should suggest that as a topic for a meeting - a Vinegar test on HD brand sand!!! Next time at harryk's place. ;D ;) :) (just joking on using your place)....

I'm surprised retailers don't jump on the bandwagon and start selling everything with it.. if i saw cylopeeze "new and improved with garlic" - i'd be all over that. :)

nice...i think the best of the two worlds would be getting that kind of coralline covered tbs LR and using it to seed the marco rocks I keep hearing about. I am not positive on the orange coral - so check with richard - maybe he'll know.

yep - there was a rumor they renamed it. I call it collusion with the LFS stores! lol.

I have a lot of amphidpods and my zoa colony is still growing rapidly. Hardly scientific evidence but either my colony is being eaten but at a rate too small to impact the growth, or amphipods do not eat zoas. Maybe mine are high class diners and don't care for the cheap zoas that no one has a...

nice update! I could be wrong but I think richard suggests keeping the orange coral in a darker part of the tank. I guess it's too late but it is tough to keep all the stuff alive from TBS. How's the cleanup crew? Did richard also give an extra sand cuke?

Harry - you're not wrong...actually in the wild clowns may exist in a pair or in a group. The two adults rule while the rest are "sub-adults". Keep in mind in the wild percs typically roost in Heteractis magnifica and Stichodactyla gigantea, - both of which grow really big and can easily...

In my opinion, if an anemone were to park itself next to a clam, then the clam could never extend it's mantel fully and thereby possibly die from lack of nutrition...plus the fact that the whole idea behind a clam is to look at the beautiful patterns on the mantel. not a big deal since most of...

vermetids are pretty adaptive and from everything I've read - rather innocuous. I'm pretty sure my astereas have vermitids on their shell. It's a little ugly - but they don't seem to harm the invert, or my other corals for that matter. Was thinking more along the lines of water chemistry...

The coco-puffs (great description by the way) - they are there for the bacteria to colonize and grow. However - I'm not sure you need them if you have enough LR. Only concern I have is that if it gets dirty in there, it will add to the nutrients left to decay which will result in algae issues...

My calculations on that tank show: 6301x2 = 15850 gph 6201x2 = 10566 gph 6212x4 = 1268 gph Divided by the display of 308 = 89x I'm not factoring in the return, but I am also over calculating the tunze, since he has the multicontroller, and most folks do the 30%/100% switch or similar. So they...

I will post up a pic if that will help my 2 year old...but I think that will just gross out everyone else lol. I see enough in the diapers already thank you. On the anemone question - I would answer by elminating one choice - which is don't try a condylactis...even though LFS continue to retail...
