Where did you guys buy your drugs? Sounds like a druggie.

Red lights will do better for plants ... including algae so ... it can have some adverse affects. When my blues died on my Apollo fixture half my tank started growing algae the other half not.

Only one decent heater in my opinion. Eheim is the only heater I feel I can ever count on.

The environment/habitat is completely different. For a small fish say a clown your tank is a reasonable facsimile. But for a large roaming fish like a tang it isn't really close. You can see in some really big tanks if you can get enough tangs they act more like they do in nature. In nature...

I would get a second clownfish(your sig it is spelled wrong). If your tank is healthy they are easy to get to spawn. Shrimp goby and pistol shrimp or blenny. Dwarf angel of some sort. You are on the edge of fitting a small tang kole or tomini. 6 max ... shrimp are cool cleaner or pistol.

I have mine on for a bit longer....and I tried to match the ATI blue plus bulb spectrum. http://www.aquacave.com/ati-blue-plus-t5-bulb-48-54w.html That is the go to T5 bulb so I figured to replicate it as close as possible during the day. I think it requires a bit of overdriving the lower level...

Just a thought but what is the design of the tank. Meaning in the wall, peninsula, standard against the wall, etc.?

Soft corals like Kenya tree(everyone has some to give you), green star polyps, will work well. I have seen clowns host these corals on occasion but a pair will be tight.

Ed the Goldfish King....has a nice ring to it.:dance:

Sorry to see you go. Go Pens!

What is the Temp of the frag tank? I know they are all plumbed in but you could have a layer of warm water sitting on top of the black frag rack. Light mix?

Looks like you will be fine...just hope they don't drop it and run.

Drs Foster and Smith might be the cheapest because with a couple bags you will be above the free shipping minimum. I have not priced it in a while but I remember it made sense to get free shipping vs cheapest price.

Well my Derasa has grown much faster than the Maxima. I have had the Maxima 7.5 years and the Derasa 8.5 to give you an idea. Both started about 3 inches...the Derasa probably weighs in at 9-10 lbs. I know there is a correlation between calcium and growth but don't know what the exact impact...

Algae for the rabbit fish, Kevin's comment for the beta. Would get some garlic for the food ... some have had success with that and can help their immunity too.

Hope you feel better soon and glad you caught it in time.

What Dave said, under three inches and you are buying shells for ornaments. I have found that feeding them when young some sort of phytoplankton is very helpful. My Derasa is about a foot now and my maxima is 6 inches maybe. So something works.

Very cool stuff Paul does a light just come on with an idea?

This is poor advice ....you read it as so long as I add three fish every three days until I hit that 40 spot I am fine. Your tank is going to slowly evolve. Yes this works to some degree but man it is driving me crazy. You went from brand new to heavily stocked using this rule. Your tank...

Here for example is what I am getting at. Sohal Tang (Acanthurus sohal) QUICK STATS Minimum Tank Size: 250 gallons Care Level: Moderate Temperament: Semi-aggressive Reef Compatible: Yes Water Conditions: 72-78° F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.020-1.025 Max. Size: 1' 4" This is...
