sounds like your doing great. I think you have enough rock for now. You want your corals to grow and your fish to have plenty of room to swim. sounds like a nice set up good luck.

I just bought a condy anemone will a percula clown host in it? and from what I have read no clownfish will inhabit it. Is there any that will and will the percs maybe use it as a host. :(

can I put my crp bakpak skimmer in my sump its 20gallon tank. It is now on the main tank but I can't put the hood all the way back because it hits the protien skimmer. :roll:

I have a yellow pagoda cup in my 75gallon reef tank it was bright yellow than i noticed some bleaching within a week or so it was completely white. Now the color seems to be returning is this normal for this species? water parameter are good sal 1.025 temp 80 degrees ammonia levels nitrites and...

yellowboy, Your tank is much to small to house an anemone fish. They are very hard to keep in captivity and it is not neccessary for you to keep one for the sake of a clownfish. Most tank raised clownfish do fine without one the only reason they are needed in the ocean is for...

Sounds like diatoms and it is natural give another 3 weeks and another type of algae will grow and get rid of it. It may come back depending on how much lighting you have and if you have any snails to keep the sand mixed. If you don't have any snails just take your hands make sure they are...

The best and easiest protein skimmer IMO is the CPR Cyclone BakPak. This skimmer is reef ready and very easy to use plug it in and check the collection cube every other day or so. Great skimmer and not to expensive about 145.00 or so.

IMO AquaStick epoxy putty is reef safe and easy to use. If you stack your rock carefully epoxy is not neccessary. If you are needing to glue a frag of coral, I had a frag of xenia glued to a small piece of rock with crazy glue. The xenia has trippled in size within a couple of weeks...

Good luck! I tried the anemone fish long tentacled. It lived for 2 weeks. While it was alive it rolled all over the tank stinging several corals in the process. Anemone fish are very challeging to keep. It is not neccessary for aquarist to keep this species a tank raised clown will do fine...

If you do not have a sick tank, try cranking the temp up to about 86 degrees for a couple of days. This may work. Adding copper to a tank with coral will definately kill them. Another bit of info try giving your fish about 3 times per week pellets with a garlic extract. Garlic is a natural...
