i hand feed mine on defrosted cockles, or on frozen krill. On rare occasions I feed chopped tiger prawn. Only three or four pieces every other day. If he is in an aggressive mood, I opt to save my fingers and use a long cocktail stick.

I have a majestic, emporer and queen in my 500g tank (in the UK) and they are all fine with all of the corals (and we have most types). Admittedly they are all still 4" or so, but as long as you can find a food they like and feed them enough of it, I cant see why you would have any problems. At...

i have a mated pair of red's and a single purple, they spend about half of their time under the rocks in a cave dug by my watchman gobies, but during the day they are out and about and compete aggresively for food

just part with the rock. I'm sure your LFS will give you one in exchange. If you cause any damage to it, it will probably not survive

i am running 2 x oceanrunner 6500's as submerged return pumps from my sump. Very impressed by how quiet they are. Aqua Medic Pumps: Ocean Runners -  Order Page for head details

carnation coral, mine is in low lighting, moderate flow from both sides and is target fed twice a week with 5ml marine snow.....and is growing like a goodun. I was warned it would be difficult to keep but my lfs had one that was not looking too healthy so got it foc!!

Is this what you mean by a 'painted tunicate'??? I have had this in my tank for almost a month now and it has almost doubled in size to about half the size of a rugby ball!! it is fed twice weekly on marine snow. I am trying to work out how to split it...any ideas?

i paid about £89GBP for a UPS 4.1kwh UPS unit which will run my return pumps and a heater for at least 6 hours. we get regular power-cuts, so a sound investment i think

i have two running as circulation pumps both on soft pipe, connected to hard pipe. both are inside one of my weir boxes; one is on suction cups on the tank floor an the other is half way up the tank on eggcrate and foam. both are silent. if its noisy and does not have air trapped around the...

i assume they are a similar thing to what i use (eductors) which basically screw onto the end of your return pipework. They increase flow by upto 400% through two mechanisms, the venturi effect and the fact they are shaped like a funnel. the funnel forces the flow out over a larger area, they...

its a plastic mesh type stuff otherwise known as reef-rack. ideal for building your LR on, or covering holes that things will escape through

this is exactly what i have done on my 8ft. I ran the return pipework in 1.5" off of two oceanrunner 9500lph pumps. i have one return on each side of the tank (with the pvc looped over the top edge) the actual returns are 3" or so below water level but I have anti-syphon holes about 0.5" below...

same species but different type. mine is a deep purple colour and almost appears to have red stitching in it. it is currently about half the size of a rugby ball. Ill post a photo

Here's one from aout two weeks ago. Still battling a bit with the green hair algae; but our urchins and tangs are doing a grand job.
