can't wait to see you start adding fish! Not sure how a tomato clown will fare in that mix Think I have to get a gig at a LFS!

+1 coming along nicely!

nice setup!

Dendrophyllia Arbuscula spewing sperm and egg I came home and noticed all my fish "hanging out" near my dendro coral so I looked to see what was going on. I realized the dendro was spewing egg/sperm into the water column and all the fish were eating it (or biting at it anyways). Ran and got...

FTS (I have to remount my background or get rid of it) FTS 2013-09-07 FTS 2013-09-07_2

d2's setup is one of my inspirations! I'm planning a huge upgrade next year (have to refinish basement) and will look to his setup for pointers.

On it! I like to do my FTS with the Sun Corals open and usually I have this angelfish food stuff that I toss in and they open up - i'm out though. Will get a shot in this evening when they normally open.

Orange Shoulder Tang - actually lets me pet him during feedings - will singularly eliminate any algae problems practically an algae vacuum IMG_0895 IMG_0892 IMG_0890 Haven't bought a fish in over 6 months and its killing me. Both my display and nano are very stable so don't really...

Can't say I've ever tried them myself but from all accounts they are the most effective means of controlling aiptasis. The problem usually is keeping them alive after they chomp down on your aiptasia problem. I don't think they eradicate them but they will reduce it to a level where you can do...

nice shots!!!

kalk is calcium hydroxide - it increases calcium directly but you need dissolved co2 to react with the hydroxide to form bicarbonate to raise alk. Don't think you want to increase saturation as this will add more hydroxide w/o the co2 having a chance to replenish stop dosing kalk for now and...

From what I remember of your tank, you don't have a lot of sps. You may want to list out your corals because the advice will differ. I'm not that familiar with Hamilton T5's so I looked up their website T5 Bulbs Aquarium supplies&Aquarium lighting by Hamilton Technology I think of...

your list looks fine. 110 gallons is a pretty good size so the dwarf angels may chase themselves around but there is plenty of room. the angels may pick on the dottyback occasionally (my flame angel does that) but its just a bit of chasing around mostly. I googled "naked clowns" - you don't...

really nice setup! Weezey!

Rekon with 100 lbs of live rock and a tank that's running for 6 months you should have 0 ammonia and nitrites. If you are getting levels - there is something wrong (like dead livestock). Nitrates is a different story. Can you post your levels? Prime is a water conditioner that people...

I wouldn't worry about supplements at all. As long as it gets lighting and moderate flow you are fine. Not sure what your long term plans are but if you plan to get into more sps (acro's especially) - you would want to reserve the "top shelf" spots for coral that need the intense lighting...

I have a protein skimmer on a 8 gallon nano.

The 10K lighting and the non-actinic blues are for growth (intensity). Actinic and purple (spectrum) provide display aesthetic value and coral coloration - more important if you have SPS (acros and monti's) corals. Purple is just lighting in between red and blue in the color spectrum. Its great...
