amazing; very nice tank. Do you get your stock from local fish stores, if so, you must have some pretty dedicated hobbyists down there. Keep up the good work, lets see a close up of that angel :)

looks like a nice tank; I like how you have the "moving" corals that kind of sway with the water motion in the tank, to give a more "flowing" feeling to the aquarium. Nice purple tang too; I would get one but my yellow tang and my powder blue, well, they would probably have something to say...

I had one actually kill one of my margariete (sp) snails to use the shell for a home; needless to say, he does like to munch cyano, so I can't complain

I want to see this new tank that took the old tank and made it a sump; this means the new tank is, well, gargantuan I would assume!

impressive; where may I ask do you get your livestock in Maryland? I live in Gaithersburg and have had a hard time finding good quality corals and fish, I don't want to order over the internet because I want to see what I have before I buy it, you know? Looks great though; I feel like it needs...

pretty freakin amazing, when you start on the SPS route I am sure all of our eyes will be in for a real treat; Keep up the good work, fish look very happy :)

looks good, love the powder blue, I have one myself in my 75, has been keeping the algae levels down in the tank; question; any methodologies to keepin the sand so white? Any special methods i.e. water changing schedules, dosing, filtration that can keep away the unsightly cyano?

well in any event, it is a cool looking creature, but I agree, I think it is a jelly ;)

Hi guys quick question: I am replacing my power compact bulbs: I have 6 55 watt bulbs on top of my tank and one 96 watt bulb in the back. Total of 7 bulbs. My question is what combination of lighting would you use? Would you guys use 7 50/50 bulbs, or maybe 4 daylight and 3 actinics, and since...

Here is my PC lighting setup with 5 55 watt and 1 96 watt on a 72; it is stilll not enough lighting however, for my brain corals and my crocea clams

awesome specimen, do you have a whole shot of it?

eh, just give him some time, they always rip into any soft coral you have eventually after they settle; I know that for SPS corals, they tend to stay away, but I had to yoink mine after he went nose first into my electric maxima like it was a fine piece of lobster. Good luck, he is a beautiful...

ok here is a little bit better desc. They are clear animals, no coloration, except a little color on the end of their little legs; they move around slowly but they can turn their body around like a worm. They feed on the algaes in the refug but they do not really get into the sand that much...

ok I dont have a camera but I have these guys in my refug that have shown up the only addition has been some Chaem. algae about 5 months ago, but they just showed up now. They have 6-8 legs and little feelers on their heads; some are more worm-like. They all look kind of transparent. They are...

Hey everyone have a problem. My brain corals do not open like they used to anymore. They have closed and are a lot smaller than when I purchased them. They still open up at night and I can see their little feelers coming out, but during the day they are closed up. I have power compact...
