Why not ask (feed) the fish and see if they like it :)

I recently purchased one of these on ebay, about $90 shipped for a frag/QT tank. There is a guy ships from Secaucus NJ and he seems to be a very good seller. I am very impressed by the build quality of these lights. Even the knobs feels solid and the fans are very quiet. I cannot attest to the...

The blotch was from the dirty glass. Yours look chubbier on the back. I hope mine will get thicker over time. Does your grow in size significantly? Mine is already on of the bigger size I have seem. Just wondering how old it is already.

I put the fish in the DT so it can graze on the rocks. It spent a few days grazing and stopped eating frozen. After it ate all the stuff in the tank it resumed eating frozen with gusto. Very bold fish and always grazing. This is what a very full copperband look like, kind of hard to picture but...

I have never a tank cracked on the bottom due to rocks directly on top of it. I have been thru quite a few tanks. Even had rocks fall on the bottom. So it's not a concern to me. I do recommend painting the bottom or add a cardboard below the tank so light from the equipment below won't light...

I had this fish since the beginning but he has been very aggressive to the newcomers. So I have to remove him to the sump. He is basically fine during the day but when it's time for bed he does not allow other fish in the rock work. (There are two separate rock piles). Is the tank too small for...

What sponge? I see supermodels :) Trying to feed a varied diet. Read stories of sudden death from both the Regal Angelfish and Copperband. People blame the diet. Indeed the fish are always grazing and eat small portions at a time. I suspect these guys eat a lot of food daily in the wild. Paul...

I try to give them a comfortable environment and max out the bio. I know it would be a problem to treat fish but I like them to eat well first then treat as necessary. I know a lot of people do bare bottom with no live rock but for some reason I was never successful with that.

I got them from petco.com again. Very fat fish. I suspect these just came off the boat so they came in very robust. He eating quite a bit of frozen now. The Kole Tang beat up the regal angelfish so now he's in the sump. I now have no tang to take care of algae. Algae is showing up quick as soon...

What a beautiful tank. Herbie the master of SPS keeping !

No he is not eating GHA yet but he is eating frozen on day 3. Very surprise he learned so quick to chase down floating food. The foxface is much more timid hiding in the rocks.

It's a nice to have item for me. I have one it does all the little things for me. But my lights and powerheads are running on their own controllers so the only timer function I use from the Apex is to run the dosers. But then again all these little things it does are very nice to have.

Has not touched the corals yet other than stealing food from them. This fish added a lot to the tank.

Petco.com together with a few female lyretail anthias. The lone lyretail that was in the tank started transitioning to male a few days after the females were introduced.

No. Not really. But I am very happy it's eating frozen now DanceDanceDance.

It's going to take a little longer than this weekend. If you want to do this yourself or with fellow reefers, can you give some more details and pictures so someone here can help you design it? Then you can get the parts ready. Two one inch drains with glass holes overflow might be noisy for...

Unfortunately fish can see them because they're too small. Thanks Mike.

That's one sweet overflow. I've been wanting to get one for a long time.

I never hatched brine shrimp before so I tried the first time 2 days ago. I used 2/3 tank water and 1/3 RO. What surprised me was that the hatched brine shrimps are tiny compare to the big lives one from LFS. Are there two different kind of brines or the one from the store are grown adults?

We have a GE Cafe for 6 months now. No problem. Bottom drawer/french door to replace a 20+ years old fridge. What we found out there is less room with the modern fridges. Bout a beverage refrigerator too helps a lot with the space issue.
