    LIGHTING

    May I ask a stupid question? Why do you want to have MH, PC, and T5 lighting on the tank? Besides the added complexity of replacing all those bulbs and plugs, timers etc. - I would just imagine it to look rather awkward - unless it's all hidden in a canopy. Why not just go MH/T5? or pure T5?

    My 29g Salwater conversion

    yup - I dropped my tunze magnet in the sand and voila - fuzzy magnet. The iron particles in the sand are fine per dr. ron shimek...who I consider to be a good source. That stated, I'd avoid dropping your mag-float in there as reeflections mentioned. Here's his specific reply to me that I...

    Stocking Suggestions

    You're off by only 10 inches. ;D http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=3351 They are not pseudochromis at all - completely different family. Serranus tortugarum is from the western atlantic and is (like threadfin/glass cardinalfish) one of the few shoaling species.

    My new 90 gallon

    I actually converted my 6100s back to 6000s to avoid the sandstorms. I'd have like one corner of the tank with no sand and right next to it a 6 inch mound. ;D I figure once I get corals going and the tank gets more crowded - I'll switch the hockey pucks out and make them back into 6100s.

    Humidity – Glass Tops

    I was under the impression that the higher the team - the more water the air can hold. Therefore conversely - the lower the temp - the less amount of water can be held. I'm just wondering if you kept your temp higher upstairs - wouldn't the relative humidity drop down to a more manageable 53%...

    clown problem

    Unless the tank is big - there's a good chance the GSM will go after the black perc and show him/her who's the boss. I would suggest returning/selling one clown.

    Hawkeye's AGA 120

    Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Well it's been 4 weeks since LR was introduced into the tank. not a whole lot of things in there - the usual cast of mini brittle stars, asterina stars (which I've been removing), a few bristle worms, a feather duster rock (i call it that...

    does it look like my cycle started yet

    i could be wrong by bio spira is in the refrigerated section I believe - I don't know if OG II or which LFS carries it. I thought about going that route too but just ended up buying cured LR from another reefer on this board. I wouldn't put anything in there with any readings on Ammonia or...
