i dont know about that. keeping your water quality up, being careful about your stocking and not overcrowding, and good quality food makes a big difference. keeping your hands out of the tank has a big impact too. i think you can have a really nice mixed reef but you just have to take your...

i agree, my tank is 5 yrs ols and has always been a mixed reef. i research all livestock before i buy. i dont want to tear down my tank to catch a killer or put something in there that poisons everything or eats all my corals. everything has its own idiosyncrasys but research before buying...

i always quarantine unless its a fish that cant take it. ie possum wrasse or dragonette. but even they get at lest a couple days. the closest store to me is 320 miles and there is no live delivery here. i have to travel to far for my stock to not try everything i can to keep bad things out.

6500 ltr is 1625 gal. wow. that is the dream tank to end all dream tanks. you are in the dominican. let me guess. natural sunlight, natural saltwater, no heat and you are going to fish for your own stock. saves big bucks if thats how you are doing it. i want to do that

ya mine would too, she goes after any thing small. got a skunk this out at the cottage. had that thing so fast it didn't have a chance to spray her- thank god

my big girl -ginger-140lbs- is fine with everyone. come on over and steal my tv. she will help you if she gets to go for a car ride. just dont bring your dog or its dead. my little girl maxine-90lbs- is a golden lab in a rottie suit. loves everything. i tell you, they are not exactly guard...

nice dog in your pix there ted. i have 2. great big mush balls, both of them. supposed to be guard dogs. both are big babies

i checked this site out and bookmarked it. this site is great. thanks for posting for sean. i got a lot out of it too.

i use an aquamedic ocean runner with an OR2500 pump on it. work well. started using that red sea no3po4x stuff and it doubles the affluent coming out of my skimmer. my new house has acsess for floor jacks and my husband said he would fix it up if i want to get my dream tank so i priced it...

ok, that is cool

yes, you would do better with a sump, but if you dont have room or dont have the $ right now you can still have a real nice system without. i dont run a sump on my system at the present time and i have a 265 gal tank. i have a 110 aquaclear for filtration,- cleaned wkly and a hob aquamedic...

ok guys disregard my other 2 pixs, this is the one. although it does go with the second one.

still think its a macroalgae. halymenia has a spongy slimy feel to it. could be some kind of a sponge though i dont think so

nope, wont work, only interested in real ones

wish my husband was into it. he lets me do whatever i want with it but he isnt interested. if i could figure out how to graft on big tires and make my fish greasy without killing them then game on

i would say yes. the job i have, i am gone 48hrs, home 48hrs. i feed my fish about 3 time a day when i am home and they starve when i am not. everyone is fine and fat. i have a pair of clarki. if you look at this month's photo contest you can see for yourself how fat they are. dont get...

.thank you. this gave me a much better understanding of how an algae scrubber works. i am setting up a new tank with over flows and a sump with a refugium in it. i think i am going to redesign and get my algae scrubber in there too. the algae scrubber will be much more efficient because of...

yah, your right there, most of us have the keep up with the jones syndrome. but you can have a real nice tank that is pretty simple. i run mine with a hang on skimmer, 4 powerheads, an aquaclear filter pump and lights. no sump and i have a 265 gal. tmc aquaray is coming out with some really...

so i am looking at the maxspect gyre pumps and i like what i see, but i dont know if i can put this on my tank without a serious problem.- ie.blowing out the end of my tank. i have a 7ft by 2ft by 30in tank [265gal] it has a black plastic rim on top that is divided into 3 sections. i spoke to...

i agree. wider is better if possible. as far as stock goes stay away from tangs- tank not big enough, stay away from dragonettes- will starve- again tank not big enough. blennies are fun- ie bycolour or tailspot, pygmy angels are nice, and there is a wide asortment of really nice reef safe...
