Thanks for the anwsers. The tank is 180 cm x 70 cm x 70 cm (70" x 27.5" x 27.5"). I also think that the tank is big enough for three tangs, my main concern as to do with their behavior because they are of the same species and also purple tangs are usually aggressive. No one as experience with...

Hi, what do you think about putting three purple tangs in the same 230gal tank? Is it possible? There will be no more tangs, just a few small fish like firefish, fridmani and gobies. Alex

Hi, I need to reinforce a second hand tank that a friend ofered me. It has three top braces that i want to remove, leaving just the one in the middle. The two that i'll remove would be replaced by bracing the top perimeter of the tank and this is where my problem begins. Because the tank is...

I think he's asking if it's safe in terms of UV radiation, to remove the cover glass from a canopy that will house a MH SE lamp. The SE lamps are the E40 here in europe. I think that from what i heard it is ok, but i would also like to know the opinions of the fellow american reefers because i...

No, 14K. manklit

The main goal of a RO/DI is to produce water with TDS = 0 ppm. The brand name is secondary for me. The price comes first. I have one of these and a lot of people have it too. http://www.stores.ebay.com/id=70548722 It produces 0 TDS water like the spectrapure, the kent.... but cheaper...

I bought my BTA a month ago. It was almost colorless. One could easely see trought her tentacles. She was very small also but started to expande nicelly right in the first day. She developed very bright fluorescent green tips and this past weekend it divided in two. She didn't move away to...

It's eating again and very active too. His belly is still swollen. Thanks guys! manklit

Thanks. Two days ago i added one small BTA, a lysmata amboinensis and three astrae snails. I usualy quarantine fish but have never done it with shrimp, moluscs and invertebrates. Maybe the litltle amount of water that was introduced with these new aditions carried some "nasty" stuff in it...

Hi. My yellow tang that has been in my system for almost half year, stopped eating today and is always in a corner of the tank without doing nothing. He doesn't have spots or velvet or nothing like that. The only thing that is not normal is his belly. A bit thin. Sometimes he gets near the...

Well, i've just checked out now and in my fixture the "nipple" is facing sideways. In the instruction panflet that came with the lamp, they state that too! I have a 150W lamp. The only explanation i could think off, is that Europe lamps (220V) are diferent that USA lamps. I live in Europe :D...

Neither!!! This tip is supposed to face sideways! How can you put it facing to the celling or tank? Are you sure yours an AB? manklit

Hi, i'm thinking of buying one pinpoint conductivity monitor to help me to know when my DI resin is exuasted. I've read that this pinpoint monitors only give readings in the single unit range. is this true? If you visit http://www.americanmarineusa.com/ you will see one conductivity monitor...

Is it harmfull to use pvc pipe which was sanded, therefore removing the shinny exterior surface? How bad could it be to reef tanks? manklit
