One day I will have 3 tanks Anyway slow down the feeding will reduce some of your problems.... as for feeding fish a happy fish is a hungry fish... they can literally eat themselves to death.... the trick is feeding them varried diet and avoid MICKY D's hahah jk anyway I think your doing great and wamas is a great place for advice... I'm currnelty looking to make black reef rock.

Ok my fiance and I are getting married ... I have a gorgous fish tank now, its white.... she wants to join the dark side of life and have an all black fish tank... the only part I havn't figure out is the rock... Can I even make black rock or paint white rock or something to that affect ... do they sell black cement ... please anything would be appracite don't feel like any idea is too stupid or already thought of I have a year so no rush on this build

SO my gf challenged me today she wants an all black fish tank....including black rock do we have any ideas? Can it even be done!.... I'm going to look online!

I'm not sure about the coralane algee but it should help... Do you fish need that much food... I feed my 46g a cube a day and 15 pellets micro sized... I don't have a ton of fish though just alot of corals!

Forest I waited up all night where you been!

I don't grow sps but I do use a bag of phosban near the exit to my refuguim seems to be working I do weekly water change or two weeks... I had really bad hair algee and its nearly all gone now!

You would get very good water current and lots of wave action depending on the pump however you would have to watch your anomees!

I personally would love to see an attempt at the front flow take lots of pictures!

I know nothing about t-5s but I hear their cooler then metal halide and warmer then leds so you need a fan but not a chiller.... also if your going to mount them alot of people use a device that will kick them off if they start overheating your tank

How long do you recomend I was always told 6-8 months

You hsve to change bulbs in 6 months you could always store the bulbes and switch them out now?

Mine are the same way and I have two anomees in the tank they love that red guy! They are starting to turn

Sea save is ok but they don't stock much its more of a mail order pick up place they are trying to get non profit status

Good picture how did you lure him to your house?

So wait now I'm confused did you get a pair of black and whites or just one? Your clownfish looks happy in that picture... mine are still orange but much darker soon to be black best wishes Forrest and Thanks again almon

Glad you got your tank drilled show us pictures!

I just witnessed my cleaner shrimp chasing my baby occelris out of the anomee so they could eat the pellets that fell on it!

I have the two and they are on opposite sides of the tank no probles soo far... the wandb occelaris prefer the red! I'm not sure if they even know the green is hiding!

Well whoever wins it should frag it after a while and get their money back!

How many stalks is the auction for?

Love you honey!

Question do you have two types of clowns in there... tried it once and had a blood bath!

Wait until your doing your tank he will clean your hand just as nice!

Where are you putting you new tank 55 can go upstairs a 90 can't?

Thanks for the advice I've already slowed down when I reliezed I had nitrates and the cheato wasn't growing... so I added a refugium light... The hair algee is all but gone and nothing has died for 8 days now:) Something was wrong with the tang it would only eat very little... anyway I found it in a hole under my rbta .... literally 3 centimeters from the rbta ... it was complelty stripped...I do have hermits but I doubt they clean it up that quickly....No new fish for a month:) Not even sure what kind of fish I want next...Any one have any fish suggests... I eventaully want a mandrin but I'm waiting a year for the pods to catch up...My biggest problem is that I travel alot so I have to teach people to watch my tank(that have no interest) 1.5 weeks ago my dad topped off my tank and it got down to 1.01 I lost a clam and a brain but everything else made it through. I'm teaching him how to use the refractometer ... The skimmer saved my tank! 1.5 weeks ago the temp in my room hit 89... that could also have been a cause... the same day I paniced when I found out the salt was so low and put salt direclty in the refugium it melted some of my macro. My tank is currenlty looking wonderful, I'm doing weekly water changes and waiting for the nitrates to drop from the tang. Trockafella is very right in that I'm moving way to fast...Got to be pacient in this hobby.
