So my wife has decided that we don't have enough fish in our tank. Recently dealt with some algae issues which have mostly subsided due partially to a power outage while I was on vacation a while back. We lost several fish and some inverts due to this She saw the blue throat trigger at the...

If your water tests are coming back normal, there is no harm in using the sand and rock that you have for a reef tank

Is there currently a tank full of water on the stand? I had to take out and replace the center brace on mine, bit I wouldn't do that with it full of water

I just saw this now sadly :( Things are recovering nicely for me, so if you get to this point in the future, definitely willing to take some ( more than willing to pay for them as well)

A reef generally has multiple fish (some small) fish and a plethora of inverts. None of those are safe with a grouper hence not being 'reef safe'

I've got a line on an orange Timor wrasse (halchiores Timorensis) I'm going to look at it tomorrow. I've seen mixed things on the Halchiores family of wrasses, are these guys generally reef safe? Some of what I read has said they are, others say inverts are at risk Anyone here with experience...

You can make it easier to catch a fish using egg crate to divide the tank width wise. Taking a fish out usually sucks. I've found the best method is just to remove rocks and use the egg crate and slowly move in on the fish taking away it's places to hide.

He may not have figured out that the seaweed on the clip is food. If hand feeding becomes problematic (or you just want some green in the tank all the time for him) you could also use a rubber band and attach seaweed to a rock. I have used that method in the past when keeping tangs that...

I would make sure that tang gas access to seaweed all the time. Clean water and lots and lots of green will help As far as cyanide collection, it's used with some fish more than others, and in some locations more than others. The only symptom I am aware of is super bright coloration in the fish

It's definitely a much different look than t5's. My problem has always been the light spill over because of the height above the tank

Looks good! What fixtures did you go with?

You can use live aquaria to research different kinds fish to determine good choices for a reef tank

Yeah, I tried a purple pseudo, he was fine at first but after a month he started bullying things one at a time. The day I was going to try and catch him he got sucked up by the Vortech. Is it bad that there was no feeling of guilt there?

The grouper and the lion fish, which are both listed as reef safe with caution. It should also be noted that groupers can (and will) eat any fish that will fit in their mouth

At least two of those fish will not play nicely with most inverts, including the shrimp listed as well as the assortment of critters used to help keep a tank clean

The light posted by the OP was 54 LED's running at 30 Watts, I don't see that supporting even soft corals

There hS to be something in the line, going to have to try and clear it

Definitely live aquaria and reef cleaners as already mentioned

Yeah, emailing Brian as well - Thanks
