    The start of my 55g part of the reef

    Personally of the damsels I always thought the Yellow-tail was nicer (chromis and clowns excluded). If you take away the Yellow-tails LR/hiding place home / - and re-arrange everything it will mellow out (or should). Probably the most vicious damsels in my opinion are the blue devil and that...

    Skimmer and Controller comparison chart

    Not sure if a skimmer fits? or if it really skims the rated gph? Found a couple helpful links: Skimmer Comparison Controller Comparison Credit: Aquarium controllers.com Skimmer Chart by ReefCentral members Straegen / Robbyg / Davidryder / Jdieck Thanks To Davidryder and Jdieck...

    Start of my Oceanic 215 build

    thanks david (and sorry harryk for the hijack) - but I'm totally in "compare" mode right now. equipment purchases (tank, pumps, skimmer, reactors) etc. are the order of the day. Eventually I'll get LR - probably from Marco or maybe Dr. Mac - but I'm just lurking the forum and seeing what other...

    The start of my 55g part of the reef

    looking great - is that a 3 strip and yellow-tail damsel in there? Interesting choices (lot of personality) - just watch their "territory" disputes.

    Start of my Oceanic 215 build

    I must have missed this earlier in the thread - but when did you get the LR and if you don't mind me asking -from where? (I'm still doing my shopping).

    hydor koralia placement

    I assume you have an overflow? I'd try and put two on on end, then the other plus the return of the overflow on the other side...So then the center of the tank would get flow from both sides. Experiment and see how that goes.

    wow - my kids would be thrilled...I wouldn't - lol - I'd be scared - but my kids would be like so amazed.

    pistol shrimp

    they are noisy and are "safe" in the sense they won't eat your reef. If a small fish or invert is dumb enough to "walk" into the pistol - it may stun / kill it. The symbiotic relationship between the goby and pistol is typically found in the pacific. The carribbean pistol that typically hitches...

    substrate question

    what kind of powerheads/flow (gph) do you have in the tank? Do you have a pic of the tank with the cloudiness? It's rather unusual for a tank that is mature to have any cloudiness from the substrate. Did you add sand or a new ph? just thinking out loud what might be causing this.

    Jasonanatal's JBJ 28 gallon Nano Cube HQI Nano Reef Aquarium.

    Nice! Most people think they are rather gross looking - glad you like the one you got! Though - do you think there is enough sand in your nano to keep it healthy?

    Moving help needed. Free stuff as a reward

    even though it's temporary - you could setup an account with a free media storage provider like photobucket. Upload your digital pics there, then copy the IMG link and past them here to post the pics.

    Where and what sand to get?

    personally I would not re-use (ALL) the sand from an established tank. I'd start a brand new bed of sand and take a cup of my old sand from my old tank to re-seed the new tank. I don't even know if I would do this with a fellow-hobbyists' tank (take a cup of their established sand) unless I...

    kent photoplankton

    Sorry to say this, but personally i wouldn't use it opened or brand new. If you have filter feeding corals - you're better off getting DTs. Although I believe quite a few people on the board use a food called "Rods" - i have no experience with it so can't comment. If you don't have filter...

    Peterson Shrimp

    Not a lot of info on these since folks normally drive the market on peppermints, skunk cleaners and fireshrimp. Wetwebmedia has this: Periclimenes pedersoni Chace 1958, the Caribbean Anemone Shrimp, Pederson's Shrimp. Should always be kept with Anemone hosts. A great cleaner of fishes, but...

    World Oceans Day at Adventure Aquarium

    Great job - thanks much to the organizers! I wish we could have gone...I elbowed it out with parents/friends of 100 plus ballerinas. Fun...I feel asleep towards the end. :P Are we ordering more orange squeeshies for this 08 frag swap? I missed out!

    Gone and done it !!!

    Sorry to hear about the loss. I don't think it should be an issue. It's gonna poop a bunch later so if you're concerned about nitrates - consider that. Otherwise - nothing to worry about....other than your fish-hungry anemone. I used to feed my anemone silversides...never had a problem eating...
