And your fish are very unhappy. They can be surviving but not thriving. You could live in a closet your whole life but would you be happy? No. The same goes for the fish. Lets see some pics.

Also there is no need to be hostile, we all gave you good advice but you chose to ignore us so that is your chice. The bioload on that tank is too high, you must be doing WC's like 3X a week.

in a ten gallon?

wth?

based upon this stock list, it would seem that you have failed to reasearch any further that whaty it says on the boxes you buy.

you hit the bank, bought a bunch of stuff prior to having any grasp on what you're doing?

thats really gonna suck to have spent all that money, only to watch it all die.

maybe your dad should get a look at all the advice were given before he gives you any more money.

i feel bad for those fish

Ditto! It looks good now but wait to your first WC when you dont match temp, ph, sal and everything goes brown. Please use our advise!!!! What you are doing id very irresponsible and actually cruel not to mention a money pit ,well reef keeping in general is too but we will have something to show for it and you will have a brown empty tank with coral skeletons.

Wolfgang8810 · 07-25-2008, 12:40 AM

forget the 20D go for a 90 gallon that is what your 250 watt MH would be good with. I would like to see a FTS

I think his LFS does just want money...a pink tip for 25.99? Wow! I really dont think he even has a tank but if he does he is surely doomed
