:wink: Let me save you some burns. That many tangs in that small of a tank can, should and will get you flamed around here. Corals should be the least of your worries, right now. I would seriously recommend liquidating some livestock. Trade a couple tangs for some liverock or corals so you...

I don't see anything. Your URL or photo didn't get posted. Whitey

Talk to an Lfs about renting a single tank for 3 or 4 days. Put your corals, fish and inverts in it. Use a 'cycling' style tub for the live rock and live sand. Also, be sure to seal up your tank and equipment anyway, so as not to get any residual toxin upon setting it up again. Good luck...

from a moral perspective i would say clams DISERVE metal halide lighting, and you are probobly doing them an injustice with any less. If you want a truly moral perspective, the clams deserve an ocean where people don't harvest them. Let's not fool ourselves. We are only maintaining life in...

Mfisher, We don't have the rainbow population around here. However, we do have the orange throat. I will recommend that you collect from a place that has less than 5 degrees difference from the tank you're moving them to. Secondly, use your reef acclimation skills to get them used to the...

I'm no expert in the area, but I would check the FAQ for a flatworm problem. I hope I'm wrong, and it is actually some kind of pod. Good luck!! Whitey :wink:

I second the NANFA recommendation. That is where I got my info on setup and legal collection practices for my Missouri tank. They also have links to a lot of other native fish sights. Whitey

:twisted: Matt wouldn't have mentioned the specific dynamics of the search engine if it didn't lend to him being on the first page. I could have easily pointed out the new feature without recommending any particular search. Basically, by the logic which Matt suggests, Brian Dennehy is one of...

:evil: You're assuming that the number of posts is equivalent to quality of posts. Is someone new to the board, but experienced of any less value. There are plenty of idiots who love to voice an opinion, but it doesn't make their advice reliable. However, there are people who rarely post with...

If you saw the original special on Jesse James, he had a huge shark tank at his West Coast Choppers location in LA. Good Discovery Channel TV. It isn't deep blue, but it's good to be well rounded. Whitey

I'd seriously consider going freshwater first. The cost is much lower, and your efforts will pay off a little quicker. Will it be as striking as a reef tank? No. However, if you have a good time in the freshwater hobby, you can always cross over. Here is a forum that will give you a...

For god's sake people. Learn something from your predecessors. Don't specify Petco without an asterisk (eg. P*tco). It's apparent that freedom of speech doesn't count anymore after the Pet*warehouse settlement. Be careful, people. Unless, of course, you're lawyers or know somebody from the...

You have plenty of fish, sure. However, they need parasites and other anomalies to feed off of. In the home aquarium there is little to produce for the food chain they demand. Good job asking before buying, though. Whitey

Hey Mouse, Get over your self. Please, at least try to learn a little grammar and spelling before you get up in someone else's grill. It sounds to me like you have penis envy over the large tank. Whitey

Put on your abestos suit, the flames will be coming if you put a tang in a 29. It seems like a lot of livestock for a tank that small. You may want to pick your favorites out of the list and go with them. Your tank will be less prone to crash with a smaller bioload. Whitey
