  1. Thanks, everything looks great right now!
  2. I did that for a bit over the summer to cut down on heat, and it didn't seem to have an effect on the fish or coral. However, the wrasse would come awake only during the first light cycle, then sleep in the sand once the lights went off, sleeping through the second light cycle, which was when I usually fed.
  3. This might just be me, but I find it easier just to upload pics to my photobucket account, then to put the image into a post.
  4. Always. Pregnant. I had one that lay eggs literally two weeks after we got her. Then of course, our wrasse ate them, but that's nature.
  5. So somehow, one of my bags of carbon managed to rip open and the pieces of activated carbon are in my tank. I'm currently trying to tank the pieces out now, but I'm wondering, how severe are the consequences of this? It was time to change the bag anyways
  6. So when I was cleaning the glass today, I found these wormish looking things on the glass. I'm just kind of wondering what they are. They look kind of segmented, but didn't look like they were moving at all. The clownfish seemed to enjoy the taste of them though...
  7. Awesome! I've always liked the look of rimless tanks.
  8. Finally got around to updating this again, and a few changes have occurred. I finally decided to epoxy some corals down and moved a few things around, I finally think I got all the Majanos, and got a new Starry Blenny! The clowns and the GSP: Nice trumpet coral I got from Dr. Mac! The Royal Gramma and a mushroom, with a small new one growing next to it: I think I've figured out what this is after looking for it in Eric Borneman's coral book, Siderastrea radians, a starlet coral. A really nice Orange Ricordea that that picture does not do justice to: The anemone, still hiding in the back of the tank : Some Nemastoma: And finally, a FTS: Thanks for looking!
  9. Definitely a nice and helpful staff. Everything I've gotten from them has always done extremely well.
  10. Awesome Tank! What kind of wrasse is that in the top left?
  11. It's already been said here, but I'm going to echo the sentiments about the wrasses. Some of them have the tendency to pick on smaller inverts, but the fairy and flasher wrasses are peaceful, active, and beautiful. But they do jump. The six line is also a nice fish, but can get aggressive.
  12. I have a battery backup air pump that I can hook two airstones to for a really long time (150 hours I think the box said), which I used last night when our power went out. I also have a small power center that can power a powerhead for about 5 hours. What I do is I leave the powerhead on for about 20-30 minutes to get flow into the tank, then leave it off for an hour or so to conserve power.
  13. I just tranferred my 46 to a 65 a month or so ago. I used the old everything except the sand. I didn't have any cycle, or at least any I noticed.
