This is just my opinion but... A 46 is really too small for a tang. You could probably get away with a smaller species of tang but anytime you can use the phrase "get away with" in reeftanks it usually ends badly. A Sohal is likely too big for a 100 gallon at 4" and will surely outgrow the...

Bryopsis, as painful as it is to see, can only smother your corals. If it overgrows them, it can kill. Otherwise it is pretty harmless. Jim

I'm looking for information on what software and how to hook my Macintosh to my aquacontroller. I can't seem to get jaqua to even load on my computer and Bill E tried to help but isn't Mac saavy. Any information is appreciated. Thanks, Jim

I had one a while back. Demolished polyps, including aptasia. Left hard corals alone. Jim

Be my guest. Jim

Thanks Steve, Jim

If you like a darker colored clown, look into the saddlebacks. They are relatively dark, and take to carpets well. Jim

Another shot

A picture of an emporer angel being cleaned by a new cleaner shrimp. Love the new BB by the way. Jim

I saw a shrimp, a blue damsel, a flame angel up close and what looked like the reflection of a scopas tang? I didn't have the patience to what another 13 seconds for a shot. Nice feature though. Jim

Wait it out. Most corals that I put in my tank become a deep brown before turning into their ture colors. Jim

No, not really having that problem. I also plan on plumbing my skimmer into the overflow box, so if that problem develops I'll have it licked. Jim

Still here.. The pipes in the middle are the durso standpipes leading to the red ball valves empyting into the sump. The other plumbing you see are 4 separate closed loops plumbed to fit my tunze submersible pumps. Having this overflow allowed me to get my tunzes out of the tank and preserve...

Mouse, Will there be room behind your tank? If so, I recommned going with back center overflows, built off the back of your tank. I did this through a custom tank builder and it really frees up quite a bit of room in the tank. I was able to make the overflow as large as I wanted without...

MOTP, No, the rio is not too large. For the berlin, the more flow through it, the better it works. The problem with the Berlin is salt creep in the venturi leads to incosistent skimming. A lot of people add the Kent venturi and say this makes the skimmer. Jim
