Marineland reef capable leds with programmable timer. They have white and actinic leds. You can get one starting at $120 at petmountain.com

I'm thinking of starting a frag tank for zoanthids. Would I be OK using a 50/50 flourescent bulb? Anyone have experience with reef capable led's and their corals?

Look at the instructions and see if it's OK to use with saltwater setups. HOB filters are OK but lots of people will suggest having a sump in the near future. You can buy or build one yourself. Look at the forum titled "DIY". I currently have a HOB but I am in the process of building my own...

+1 on what BL1 says.....

What kind of treatment are u using? Some medications require you to turn of skimmers and water filters for an x amount of time.

red sea star and sand sifting star. Also tonga snails are great

I am going throught the same process with a couple of my fish that had ich (ocellaris &firefish). I'm into the 2nd month of treatment. I used both hyposalinity and Kordon Ich Attack but in a seperate QT the 1st month. For this last month I'm treating them with just hyposalinity. They are doing...

Your acclimation time was too short for your fish. I would suggest 1-2 hours of acclimation depending on the type of livestock. Liveaquria.com has this good article on acclimating fish and other livestock: http://www.liveaquaria.com/PIC/article.cfm?aid=157 Also, when was the last time you did...

It just depends on whether you feel you have use for them in your tank or not. They can be part of your clean up crew but some people prefer not to have these worms in their tanks.

I wasn't saying it's the best size to have a (5 gallon for 2 damsels)...IJS I was able to keep them for a year until I moved up to my 44 gallon. But if you want to permanently keep the 5 then Erin Cahir is right.

beautiful pic!! love the colors...what kind of camera did u use?? I'm in the market for cams and I'd love to share pics of my tank as well.

Awesome tanks and welcome!!!!

I started out with a 5 gallon 5 yrs ago and 2 blue damsels. You should be ok with just a good water filter and air pump. I would also do a small amount of live or dry rock along with sand to help with the biological filtration.

Ok heres the deal....My clown was laying on its side getting ready to die due to ich being in an advanced stage and he was breathing rapidly... The advice in this first article worked for my ich treatment. However, I have not tried the second article "formalin dip". After following the steps in...

What "user-friendly" software can I use to keep track of my tank maintanance? Are there any free ones out there compatible to use with a MAC?

44 gallon. I am currently without a skimmer since my last one broke down.

Disconnecting the tubes routinely and scrubbing the interior with a brush helps keep build up to a minimal.

Use Amquel plus! I am in the same boat as you....I have a hospital tank setup for my clown and dartfish to treat ich. It's been running for a month and I couldn't get amonia down. I bought Amquel after reading several reviews and this stuff really works great! Within 48 hours my amonia and...

OK so here's the update for those of you that haven't tried Amquel plus.......After 24 hours of the initial dose my amonia & nitrates were cut in half. Nitrites remained the same. After 48 hours & a seconde dose amonia and nitrates were undetectable and my nitrites were still high. I will do a...

What's an LTA? Do you have any corals as well? I hear condys are known for stinging other corals is that so?
