I have a 20H with an Iwasaki 250W 65K bulb and want some actinic, due to the small size I am now looking at 13" 32W PC retro, the "smartlamp" with advertised bulb of "half 8800K ultra-daylight and half ultra-Actinic." Has anyone seen this bulb ? I want blue, but am having a hard time find true...

I have one, bubbles aren't bad except right after you've had your arm/hand in the tank. I've found that the maxijet 1100 works better than the supplied rio however.

I've been two sebae anemones, one for 2 and one for 3 years. I built locations in each tanks specifically for them, subsequently, neither have moved. I built a concave in the liverock and "small" crevice between two chunks of live rock at the sand bed level. Now the anemones have grown so large...

Thanks for the response . . . I got Knop's book just the other day and have been doing a lot of internet searching but was looking for some first hand rec's and advice . . .

In a 20H I have a spot directly under a 175watt ushio 10k bulb that I want to put a clam - either a 3-4" crocea or maxima, but it is 16" below the light. I have been keeping a small crocea for about 6-8 months now in that tank, but midway up . . . I could pull my 250 Iwasaki 6500k setup off...

I've had one for a couple of years, crazy fish always tries to nail me when my hand is in the tank. I've always escaped so far, has anyone else ever been spiked by a tang ? I imagine my time is coming . . .
