it's possible the anemone has "bleached". Be sure to feed it regularly for now until it regains it's color (hopefully).

Re: Here's my 120 sorry to hear... still love the camera and pics. anymore centipedes? :P

8) ;D btw it doesn't appear like you have any microbubbles - so did the mod work on the skimmer or is it that I can't tell from the pics?

Great pics! the fish look really much happier and healthy. If the naso is damaged in some way it's hardly noticeable. Sorry if i offended on the QT post - not intended at all. I will leave it at that.

amazing you were able to catch the damsels. hey what color is that BTA? it looks a little faded/pale to me - but maybe that's the camera?

lol...fair enough. I won't lecture you on the benefits of QTing...everyone does things differently. I shall just say that nothing is going into my display without QTing.

are you using RODI water?

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Anyways - this is a standard AGA 120 tank. Dimensions are 48 by 24 by 24. Tank was bought last October. It's seen water once (leak test). Before I could proceed though there were some unexpected financial bumps in the road that basically...

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Then after reading those books - it's always better to see in the "real world" what people are doing. With that - I found these other 120 threads to be great reads: Bax’s 120 – superb set up in an office...

My first tale! yay. Skip this thread if you are expecting colorful pics. This is pure planning phase right now... To begin - first I decided to find the inner book-worm-geek in me and I sat down and started reading. Great discussion with the usual calfo humor on inverts: Reef Invertebrates...

just read this on another board: "So you need to design sumps very carefully - they need to hold enough water to resist underflow due to evaporation for a reasonable length of time, but not so much that that can't hold the residual overflow from the tank when the power goes off. And there needs...

good for you! From a non-scientific point of view - I am guessing there should be quite a few choice frags available for sale if the members continue to produce as much as they have!

couldn't you just get different bulbs for your MH? I was under the impression they made bulbs such that some people don't even supplement anymore.

Sounds like a plan - this way you'll be able to incorporate those vortechs you want. But backing up - i remember when you first posted your tank thread and was talking about the "CLS" (which I had no idea at the time what that stood for) ::)... what prompted you to move away from the CLS?

Then you should have taken pics when they were in QT.... speaking of which - did you QT them or did you just ask the LFS to hold them?

in terms of feeding the anemone - i would try and get to the seafood market and pick up some type of small fish - silversides are the choice of most. Just chop them into bite-size pieces (you want the head, guts, tail everything). Then every so often feed a piece of it to the anemone. I used to...

crazy idea - but could you pour sugar grade sand into the tubes-effectively blocking them out and making a kind of super long deep sand bed? Yes detrius may build up over time - but as long as you don't touch it - it should be fine.

no experience with closed loops but I think the stagnant water could be an issue. Can something crawl into one of the tubes and die down there?

I'd rather it be in a 6 foot 125 tank (with hopefully the non-fruit-stand aquascaping) then a 120 or other 4 foot tank. Not disagreeing here - but I think this situation in a 6 ft tank is far better than the 20 gallon it was in.

This statement is interesting. Bob Fenner says just the opposite. In his book The conscientious marine aquarist, he states that nitrates aren't critical. In fact most fish tolerate quite a bit of nitrates in my experience. What dwarf angels in your experience are impacted by nitrates? Or are you...
