I'm personally not a huge fan of the black tang - I really like the purple tang myself (or the powder blue), but my wife really loves them and wants one, so since I make 99% of the stocking decisions, I want to keep her involved and liking the tank. She has said they look devilish and "bad...

Maybe he has an old, deep sand bed or old LR...maybe a fish died and in a small tank it caused a mini cycle. I would also check parameters - make sure the alkalinity and magnesium are up (I've seen problems in my tank from slime algae with alk being off). Most of my problems with algae have...

Sounds good to me!! thanks

I just set up a phosban reactor and started with half the recommended media since it's an established tank. but how often should I change out the media - the media container didn't specify and neither did the reactor! thanks Jerry

sorry to double post - if you do order from ccriters - let me know how it goes. I really do need a cleanup crew and have been procrastinating. I would like the halloween hermits instead of the blue leg ones because they look cooler:)

I use this site for searching for reef keeping items: blue leg hermits I set it to the page (2) that has a great shop according to others - ccritters.com - they are cheap!! I've never ordered from the, but I was browsing another board this morning that said they were good to deal with. I've...

Len: you said you plan on replacing yours every 2 years (wet side) - any reason? I've had mine now about 1.5 years and I hadn't even thought of replacing it.

I have to agree with gskidmor - it looks like an awesome shop!!

I might even consider 250. At this point, I'm thinking I will get a purple tang before they hit black tang prices.

Beautiful Len - I especially like the one with the orange mouth off to the right!

Not to mention that world wide corals has beat you to that idea - they sell that chalice too - for the reduced price of $1500:) jason fox miami chalice But it seems to be a general craze with chalices right now -I have a problem paying $100+ for a single eye of a coral that is often less than...

Mitchell, I think it's time you told the kids it's just "hiding" under the rocks while you take it to the LFS and trade it in/donate it! dirty

If you look at this site (a reef specific search engine), you will see a bunch listed, but they're all around $500 black tang My wife likes black tangs (I do too) and wanted to get one, so I keep looking to see if the price is gonna drop, but not so far

funny thing is, I've seriously thought about using my shopvac for this job!!

thanks seamaiden for the welcome - I've been on reefcentral since about 2002, but for many reason's I've really stopped visiting there about 6 months ago and I'm shopping for a new forum!
