you got way to many larger fish in that sized tank it will be very hard to keep them from being stressed, plus the combination of puffer, trigger, tang might not help either. You need to really observe them together to see if one is bothering another. Also the powder blue is very hard to keep...

30 inches deep I think.

you got one of my favorite fish the naso tang had one years ago when i first started, when i upgrade again in a few years ill be getting another one.

don't do it man go topless better heat and oxygen exchange.

just read your whole build, nice setup cant wait to see some pics. I had dual 400 watt halides but it was on my 225g loved them but hated the $$Electric Bill$$ they do add a ton of heat to the water, mine were about 7-8 inches off the water too.

I run a korallin reactor with carb-sea course medium large and drop in a little dolomite (1-2) cups, I mix in seachem reef advantage magnesium into my ro top off water, I have a hard time keeping the magnesium levels where it should. I add kent strontium, iodine, and manganese and iron when...

lol i just read it too, I wonder if the op still has the tank and if it looks good?

i didnt think its generally a good idea to put stuff back in the ocean with the possibility that you could be importing pathogens from your tank to the ocean. just my 2 cents.

thanks as you can see the tank is very dirty right now I need to re engineer my scraper to get that coraline in the center front panel and harvest the caterpillar weed which I think I have got under control finally :)

Continued.... Purple haze montipora ORA Blue hawkins ectinata its about 14-17 inches tall and about 14 inches wide a friend gave me a 2 inch frag when it was about 75 for a 3/4 piece I got tons of it :) close up of it Favities have had this one for several years and fragged it many times...

haha I got it that time guess reef sanctuary doesn't like picasa if you try to retrieve and store here. all set now here is a ton of eye candy enjoy. All different forms and colors of frogspawn. large purple monti cap its about 14-16 inches wide side shot favia frag that a recently moved...

As promised a bunch of picture updates taken today. front left front middle front right ok round two posting pics on newer format.

I know this an old thread but i wonder if the op every got the issue resolved?

yupe, how do you go back and trust them again it cost my the lives of several corals which cost about 800-1000 bucks.

thanks I'll try to get over to my parents to snap some new photos and close ups. Its taken time to build up my collection of corals, been very patient lately haven't added a coral in about a year. I did lose all most all my acans and a few other corals due to kent reef carbon that I heard might...

i found that iodine doesn't work because to kill the nudibranchs you have to dip too long which causes the montipora to die. I used interceptor which is a dog medication and it works well. two to three treatments wiped them out. I think if you search my name here you will find a thread that...

I think any of the mentioned leds are great. Bottom line I think you would be hard pressed to find cheap ones that compare to these.

I have never heard much good about them even when I first started in the hobby I was warned to stay away from them. But most places carry that same policy no one is going to ship (50-70) overnight for a 9 dollar item. its refund or credit.

thanks, I started in 99 and upgraded to the 225g in 2006. Bought all the AIs last summer but I also bought a house in july so never had the time to install them due to so many needed house repairs and remodels. Got them on a few weeks ago and boy do they look great. Got to make some time to...

oh the AI sols are only set at 33%white 37% blue and 37% royal blue at midday max. They really pack a ton of light. I had dual 400w 14-20K haldies with 4 4ft t5s 3 actinics and 1 daylight. :flame: go bye mega electric bill!
