Thanks I guess just using gravity help. If it works I will make sure I give it a try, cannot see how it would hurt anything.

Your water change is the same as in fresh water. Remove x amount of water replace it with the same amoumt, so you keep your salinity the same. I have a bunch of small starfish and one from the last group buy. Chocolate ship starfish are not reef safe. You should read carefully because some...

The water is good..but you should be doing water changes every week...say 10-20%. Plus as your water evaporates you need to add water without salt...if you add salt water your water will get higher and higher concentrations of salt.

Fission Nano skimmer...might as well take 25 bucks and flush it down the toilet.

Yeah sure I bought one bag of live 4 bags of dry sand....rock you can buy dry and cure it yourself....Marco Rocks is going to be at the frag swap...if you have the inclination because it is dry it costs less...though you don't get all the live goodies. Fellow reefers are great source of...

I just bought sand, got the almost universal opionion that you are going to invest a lot in a tank do it right. Drs Foster is the cheapest (when you count shipping I think) I bought some live and some dry. Sundown was the argonite based playground sand but it is pretty much impossible to find...

I thought I replied to you but guess I lost the post. I like the emerald crabs. The last two TFH have some good articles on tanks setup and clean up crews. You could get something like a cleaner shimp or if you wanted to a shrimp goby/pistol shrimp combo...

Can you explain this more....how does it help ect? I never heard to do something like that, though I am certainly not saying it is wrong, just looking for some education.

Wendy here has a great setup. I would go with what she is using.

Thanks concept3. And I hear you loud and clear about the pseudochromis. It is original fish of ours and it has lived up to its reputation. I bought it same as you from Trop and it has done its share of damage. I am hoping with the larger tank it settles down.

Good advice for you above. Glad things are looking good for you. Keep it slow and read as much as you can. You will continually learn and find new things that you will want to buy or keep in your tank. I would bet that even some of the folks with 200+ gallon tanks run out of room or don't have...

How is the tank going? How are your water parameters going? My suggestion would be a blenny, or a goby(shrimp goby) do some research though, if you get some more agressive fish you could have problems. Both of the two I mentioned above are on the less agressive side but have personalities that...

I am sure the firefish are being badgered by the bicolor. I assumed I would have have the tank set up quicker when I got them from Justin. And I figured I would have enough room in a 120 for them. They ate well for a while but have been hiding lately. I have had the clown and bicolor since I...

AO first for me and then maybe Red Sand. Trops prices are getting pretty steep though if I am just looking then they are on the list.

Nope I just hope mine turns out as nice a copy as yours did. Thankfully I had you and Momof6 to blaze the way. It is not a surprise I am a couple steps behind you two.

I am planning the stocking of my 120G tank. I have two firefish(I hope they are in hiding), one pygmy angel, one clown fish, and one bi-color pseudochromis. I would like to stock two tangs. One being a blue hippo tang. Which of the following do you think would be the best choice as second fish...

Well they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So lets see T5s, pool liner, sand. Yep I am trying to copy you pretty much ;)

The tanks is looking better and better. What grade sand did you use?

It looks right until you click on the links. Then one gives you mal ware and the other is some sort of naked pics :o. This is on my work PC were I am quite sure it is not spy ware on my computer. What are the chances Mynd and I have the same issues?

I will get them up by the end of the week. At the momment I have a sandstorm in my tank ::), here is one pre-tank settup. But it is hard to see it still. It gets warm but not as bad as my PCs on my AP or I am sure not as bad as the MH. He does have them up all the time, but when I was...
