fishinhd, Congrats on the new tank. What are the dimensions? Is it 5 feet long by 18 wide if so where did you get it. Glass or arcylic.

wantsome8, I don't know about the eclipse but here is a really sweet nano reef. http://www.oc-creative.com/reef/index.asp i think its a 7 gallon but you won't think so by looking at it. I agree that you could not have 5 happy fish in 12 gallons maybe guppies :D

Sharyl C , Look at this web site you can put it over your rubble with out breaking it down. http://www.garf.org/ Best looking stuff i have ever seen. Will cloud tank for a day or two but well worth it i put it over both of my tanks aragonite. Great purple color and all different size chunks...

makai, Are your water parameters good? Probably the best thing would be to quarinteen the fish in a copper tank like KAPFishous said. I have anemones and used green x in my reef tanks with inverts. My LFS barelly keeps it in stock. Downfalls are that it can turn plastics green like silicone...

kbaker721, I agree with elmo they should live longer. My emerald crabs lived thru cycling the tank algae blooms and many other newbie mistakes. In fact they are still kicking getting huge. I would also suggest to look at water parameters. Also if you don't feed them after they have cleaned up...

littleprince, I use the same as brian i have a powerhead that pushes water above the surface and disrupts the film works for me on a 60 gallon.

ctheisen, Welcome to the world of the little bast@rd damsels. They are very aggresive and pound for pound more like gram for gram one of the toughest fish in the ocean. Cousins of the clown who are known to be scrappy as well. I have had many damsels but ended up catching them with great...

blee358, If you want a reef tank don't get a picasso they are meat eaters and his was already 6 inches. I have seen one in the back of the LFS that was closer to 10. They will kill smaller fish sometimes or at least my friends would. Any definitely a danger to shrimp his even killed a puffer...

SunnyX, I know what your saying. I have never bought anything from them. But they have cheap stuff like you will not find cheaper tanks than there but most of them are not pre drilled for overflows. If you buy a fish that is healthy looking and acting normal and quaranteen then you will be...

SunnyX, It is definitely possible. There is micro reefs that are 5 gallons and i think i saw a 1.5 anything is possible. My 60 gallon is pretty stable other than some hair algae it has been good to me. You can do it just make sure that you use some good stuff to start it. Aragonite sand or...

Well its pretty blurry anyone now a better way to attach not attack a photo.

I was wondering how to post pictures of my reef. Any help would be much appreciated. I am going to try and attack them below.

gcvt, Where did you get the red light?

Wippit Guud, Have you though about cuttlefish. Can be trained like dogs and are wild and crazy looking. My buddy uses to have one that would spit water for food. I am sure you would have to look into the husbandry but you can get them to breed with some luck and research. They die i think...

heedicus, Is your ph normal during the day. If there is to much CO2 reaching the tank then it will lower your tanks PH even more at night. I am sure you know this but a calcium reactor uses CO2 to lower the PH in the chamber so that it dissolves your media quicker. If you have a single...

SunnyX, Are you planning on keeping corals. If so look at the Tropicorium site in romulus one of the largest frag farms in the US. They have deals where you pick 9 corals for a 100.00. And huge pools filled with frags, sharks, breed clowns, cardinals. This place blows my mind i want to go...

Wippit Guud, I agree with oriongirl. Most sharks if not all should be left in the sea. If you want a shark get one that stays small 1 to 2 feet in at least a 180 like a bamboo or epaulette with a wide not tall tank. The tank must be cycled for some time and have good filtration and very...

GCVT, The John H. Tullock book is (Natural Reef Aquariums) "Simplified Approaches to Creating Living Saltwater Microcosms"

Where do you live at i am in michigan too. There is a lot of LFS stores. Tampa Bay Live rock is great too. Do a search on the internet and get semi cured at least full cured would be better for a new tank anything alive that does not like you water or has been exposed to air when it should not...

7speed, Hope i did not make you feel discouraged. Not my intent this is a great hobby and you will love it. You can get the VHO's or you can by metal halides wich will be enough for what ever you could ever want. I have seen the dual 175 watt fixtures with out bulbs brand new on ebay for a...
