can't we do both? lol!

mark - that stinks to hear. I have a question for the anemone owners- how do you anemone-proof the powerheads? or do you just hope that they lock in a spot and not move anymore? the owner of this pic below says she removes any "walker" clones and they are not kept in her display. Basically...

greg - what kind of lighting do you have and how close is that to the light? I have a "purple bonsai" but it doesn't go up like that - it's been encrusting side-ways...(of course that was under LEDs...maybe with T5s that will change).

of course... these are under my old LED lights though - they are darker under the T5s. Here's a vid of them laying the eggs. I posted this before - but will link here again. notice the "reef safe" blue damsel...lol opportunistic little guy waiting for an egg not to attach.

LOL. That is too funny. When I was first into the hobby a guy sold me his cheato and it had all of these blue/purple mushrooms intermingled somehow. I dutifully pulled them out and placed them in my display. That was in 2004. 6 years later the tank is still around with giant shrooms...lol. Of...

Here's my old light - still works great but the colors were not cutting for me. I may put it back on if my clowns do not start laying eggs again. new fixture: I'm also getting a used DSLR. This is by far the best way to go bang for buck. I should get it on saturday. Then finally I may be...

Old pics - I forgot to post. 200 snails from reefcleaners.org. I wanted more from the GB but ended up just thinking my order was enough. here they are in the tank - all lived. Oh I also had a porcelain crab - which is laughably small in the 120. Where's waldo!

lol so i've heard. (so sorry inky for the hijack) Funny story - I was at the mall with my parents (they are on my plan) and I was getting them upgrades on their phones. So the guy behind the kiosk goes - what kind of phone does she have now? I shrugged and since my rents were there I couldn't...

i'd try a maxi 900. if that is too much then downgrade it one step.

nice thanks Bill...i'll try and meet up with you my next trip up to visit wil. now that I t5 lights again I'm looking forward to getting corals from him that will actually look pretty in my tank vs dull. I lost track of how old these clowns are - this was the latest successful batch I had...

lol can't wait to see them. http://shop.mediabaskets.com/ That's the link for steveT. Great products. I posted also in inky's thread then saw this. This is my bc29 - with the media basket: mind you the flow is low because at the time I couldn't put more in without blowing the clowns too much.

http://shop.mediabaskets.com/ SteveT is the man. I got the basket for the bc29. Works great. Although I'm in the market for a skimmer now (maybe I can get one used - like a small tunze).

lighting is a possible challenge. It may not reach the bottom of the tank where you wanted to keep some corals/clams. Circulation could be difficult since a standard long tank might be great for a powerhead, but if it's tall, that same powerhead will just blow straight into the otherside...

all of us could use bigger tanks...lol. although a 55 "column" tank does present it's own unique challenges. Hopefully it's just some sand that got on the fish and not ich. Good luck and keep us updated! btw - i hope you didn't take my look up google as argumentative - i just meant it's...

if possible i'd avoid piling rocks on the side glass but that's not always possible.

long long ago dr. ron shimek called marine snow basically snake oil. However since it has been re-trademarked/branded by what is now known as brightwells - I don't know. i've decided that it's far better to observe the tank and see how the inhabitants respond than to assume that any one product...

LOL good one!

i could be spreading bad info - but I never considered my actinics fueling algae growth. definitely i changed out the daylights after their "end of life" - but with actinics I usually kept them on longer.

type in "marine ich" and hit "find" on the google page. here's a pic I just saw:

congrats - was this one of those small hippos OGII had? keep your eyes peeled for any white spots developing on the fish. The stress might reduce their immune system. Also the "Flashing" against the rocks might be a sign of a parasite/ich development.
