180gallon fully loaded system softies and sps- in upwards of 200 small colonies of coral(sps, lps and softies) shoulid i go with a VS3 24" or 36" from www.lifereef.com ? -kevin

Dr. Reef, what would you say would be the best fish to put in prop. syst. since you know the details of how it is/will be set up. blenny, 6 line wrasse or dragonet after a couple months. i will put 2-4 pepermints shrimps in each tank what kind of snails?(turbo, astrea, margarita, cortez...

removing the caulerpa was a bad idea, ihad a horrible outbreak of hair algae and cyanobacteria, the worst, and a type of algae that grows in mats, it might be a diff. type of cyano. and i have hair algae probs again, atleast the caulerpa grew in a stringlike manner so it was easier to...

nope. Dr. (not MR. as some of you refer to him) reef was right. within 2 weeks the caulerpa had worked by outcompeting the hair algae, 30 gallon std. with a 250 watt iwasaki 6500k and no suppl. the system had already been set up when the caulerpa was introduced so when it was put in the tank it...

i have never had luck with tangs, from koles to blue regal to yellows to sailfins they all die so i dont want to deal with that again, im starting a new propogation system and was curious what is a coral safe, hair algae eater, ive tried blennies but not much luck, what have you had luck with...

no, just downsizeing aquarium and need to know if 1/4 Pm acrylic would hold on a 48Lx24Wx10H tank according to http://cyro.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/cyro.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=cZn9kfhg&p_lva=&p_faqid=133&p_created=979155189&p_sp=cF9ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTY3OSZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**&p_li=...

bump

the reason is that humans build up pigments to help protect ourself from UV light. its also called getting a tan, which is why i would assume the same with corals!! i will try and see the beneifts and downsides!

ill have to do that!! ill take pics to of hte set up and of the effects after a few weeks!

what about a 12" tank. same length and width i think i would have to go up to 3/8" right?

would 1/4" acrylic be thick enough for a 48"x24"x6" tank LWH

during the day

which would be better for a SPS propogation of the 3 options listed tank dimensions 4' long 2' Front to back 6" heigh choices: 1: 2x110watt VHO 50/50's(actinic whites) 2: 2x110watt VHO aquasuns & 1x40watt NO actinic suppl. 3: 2x110watt VHO 50/50's(actinic whites) & 1x40watt NO actinic suppl.

i had suspected that but thought of asking on here i would of thought UV radiation would help intensify the corals color to help protect them from the UV iwas curious if anyone had used them
