Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Nice job on the rockscape and the rest of the setup. You will need to establish a light cycle as you have colalline algae already which is great. I would suggest getting some sort of timer so that everything is just automated. Makes life much easier IMO.
I like it too but like John said a little more would be better. Don't forget the LR adds a lot to your biological filters so you will have to monitor that.
I have T5s and am very happy.
January group buy.

Nice savings over Marinedepot.
Don't honestly know...the blenny might get after him, if you introduced the clown first it would be best.
I have seen one Chalk bass at AO nice fish but I would like to get a few of them to school I understand you can even introduce in pairs which is a bit odd. I don't honestly know why I am...
It has the pump mounted under the skimmer body? What size tank did you have it on? How old is it? Is it hard to adjust?
Just asking for Ryan so he can make a good decision. :)
Let me suggest once more...take your time and research. I am guesing you will get a suggestion of the Octopus.
Look through this website ... it is our group buy in January I would think you can get a good deal here...
I have purple, dark red, green and even a bright yellow. They are different species I was just reading yesterday about them there is not really a difference.
Swings are hard on the livestock. The warmer you have the tank the more problems you will see with nuisance algae and red slime. My tank was running 80 in the summer and is at 76 now but swing was slow. I suspect it will creep back up to 80 in the summer.
It looks to me that all the fish minus the Mandarine have similar dispositions. IMO the angel won't wilt with the tang. Mine has stood up to my pseudocromis..not big just a mean little &^#$@. On the other hand it hasn't really gone after other tank mates. Flame might be good though as coloration...
Looks like a good list. I have a pygmy angel and he is a pretty good camper. So long as you have a cover on the tank the list looks good. Glad Phyl pointed out the tang/tank size problem.
I love my naso...but purple tangs are pretty agressive. My hippo and naso get along great, hippo usually follows the naso around. But I am not sure I would trust the purple to be so social. Blenny would be a good choice, midas maybe or jawfish depending on your sandbed.
I am running a MAG 12 on my 120 and I decided to dial it back with same settup as it sounded a bit like Niagra Falls. I am unsure if I want to branch another line for a reactor of some sort, run it back into the fuge, or just down size the pump, it doesn't make much sense to push so many watts...
Hmmm Will had one. I have seen them for sale at saltwaterfish.com but never bought anything from them. Do you remember where you saw the article?
Sorry about the chromis they are sorta tough to keep alive.
Has anyone kept chalk bass in a school? I was really thinking about it...all my fish are individuals at this point and after my firefish out of the tank I realize that jumpers need not apply.
Cool ... I for one always like to see sump pictures so when you get a chance how about some.
What are your plans for the tank? Other equipment details?
