I have a large clarkii that during the day hangs out in a nice sized goniopora. At night, when the gon. is contracted, he rests right on the live rock

Len- Thanks for the reply. I appreciate all of your comments and agree with everything you said regarding stocking. I have had the tangs for 2 years and they have not grown much but I am aware that they may need to be moved eventually. Right now they are not much longer than the clarkii...

I have a 75g mixed tank with mushrooms, brain coral, goniopora, some acropora. I also have a clarkii and percula clown (and 3 tangs). 2 years ago I had a long-tentacled anemone that the clarkii dominated, but it only lasted 6 months and I have never replaced it. For the last few months the...

I purchased the ballasts, sockets (x2), bulbs and reflective material (polished aluminum?- very light and easy to bend) and now need to install it into some sort of hood (48" btw). I also bought a 3" fan. My first thought was to tear apart a 48" plastic NO fluorescent light kit and use the...

Found the drill press for $28 at Lowe's (Home Depot no longer carries them). They don't sell glass cutting bits larger than 1/2".

I found several links and postings, so I think I can figure it out now. Sorry to bother you.

Hey Nano- If you figure out how to drill your tank, please let me know. I am trying to drill overflows in a 20 gallon refugium and I am really struggling. What kind of bit did you buy and from whom? I assume you're not using a drill press if the tank is already built, so how do you stabilize...

I bought these sps the same time i bought a dual 175 MH retro kit, but the kit was faulty and the new part isn't due to arrive until Monday. When I am done with the MH upgrade, I will have 460 watts over my 75 gallon tank (2x175 MH plus 2x55 PC, the NO flourescents will have to go)...

I am a newbie to acropora although I have kept several other corals for sometime now. I received two frags via Fedex on Monday and they looked to be in great shape. One is a dark purple and the other is white or pearl colored. On the pearl one, each of the tips were originally a fluorescent...
