what LFS btw - ? are you keeping the good ones secret from us? ;)
Personally I find the New Marine Aquarium(by michael s. paletta) to be a decent first level read...
I read in that article that they are totally unafraid and that you could just bring a big zip lock bag and grab em. Supposedly one diver tried to sell 50 babies to a Long Island LFS...

THE LIONFISH INVASION....NOAA discovery series
Also - would be interesting to see if NOAA dissected a sandtiger shark and see if any lionfish were in the stomach...those sharks "eat anything" right?
first of all...it's march 2nd - and you said you'd post pics feb 26! ;D
Anyways - depending on the snails you purchased already - you may want to consider an invert to help keep the sand turned/clean.
I agree with Jrwohler...picking up a book may also fill in the gaps that may not be readily...
Altohombre already has a koralia 3 and is thinking of adding another koralia 3 - so he's thinking of having a total of 2- pushing 1700 gph - which would be 30x turnover.
On my 55 I have a tunze 6060 and a seio - (not counting the return) - already pushes me over 35x.
On a 125 - you could get a...
my 55 had coarse/mix of live sand from the gulf of mexico...after i poured the sand - caught these little fellas in the bottom of the bag
The downside tho is I'm pretty sure some non-beneficial hitchers came along - most notably a cirolanid isopod. So i'm thinking in my new 120 tank - will...
lol - totally off track then - what movie? I have so not gone to see any movies in a long long long time. I can tell you the nick jr. schedule and explain all the characters for most animated cartoons - but movies...what's that? ::)
New product being sold by Tunze- and carried only on two sites...PA being one:

Thoughts? My chemistry is so far off that it's hard for me to read that table... :P
reading that one thread - fijiblue made an interesting comment on how he was going to retro-fit a pair of VHO actinics - because he hated the T5 ones. ::)
anyways - back to this thread - I guess maybe my mind just didn't want to believe that a 60 gallon frag tank needed the same kind of...
Pcs are not exactly feng's forte so I just figured I would stop in today and help take some pics. He's planning on an LED light display for his corals - so that should be interesting to see (instead of the MH 250/400s). I did not take any pics of his acro/corals as I thought the 2/14 post in...

I say the main difference is electricity consumed...
20w x 4 maxijets = 80w.
8.5w x 4 koralia = 34w
7w x 4 Tunze = 28w.
Over time it could put a dent in your electric bill. Also not sure but maxijets generate some heat into the tank right? So if they push you over that threshold where you...
So - I saw a post on the for sale forum and I didn't want to hijack it...figured I'd ask the question here.
Just how big of a tank is needed to consider having a school of 6 yellow tangs? I assume one has to get all the same size and all introduced at the same time (I'd hate to figure out how...
I have the tunze magnet attached to a tunze 6060 -no noise whatsoever. Plus Roger @ tunze is a great cust-focused rep. I don't know whether the tunze magnet can help on the vortech - but if that is something you're thinking of - you could ask roger. I don't know if he'd comment since the PH...
Do you have a pic of this sump/fuge conversion? Might be an alternative solution to what you are thinking of - but it'd be easier to come up with if we could see it.
Also- instead of getting a new return pump - you could set it up so that the return "T"s and one part goes up to the display and...
