  1. me me me me me : I would like the : small tubbs blue zoas on a disk with a small frag of green birdsnest $25
  2. Not all wrasses need a sand bed. The only one I know of is the Leopard Wrasse. Mine also dive bombs into the sand. I actually rarely see her do it. You just see a puff of sand. I do not recommend this fish for a bare sand bed. They are all wild caught as well. One funny thing I noticed about mine was her sleeping habits where not on this time zone. After a month or so she started sleeping at 10pm and waking up late morning (lazy fish..haha). She sleeps at the same time every night......amazing internal clock. My wrasse could care less about the other fish. I do see her hunting for pods alot (also eats, pellets, rods, flake) so an established aquarium may be best. I may have gotten lucky as I have heard of others that wont touch pellets, frozen or flake.
  3. Nice setup! I have a Leopard Wrasse and she (they are all born female) is an extremely nice fish. Just make sure to have at least a1" sand bed as they sleep under the sand
  4. Yo Brook'ster, What is that skimmer again? And does it come with any kinda light?
  5. +1 Nassarius snail When you put food in the tank they immediately raise their "periscopes"; then come crashing up from the sand like little tanks and start the search and destroy mission for food.......ok I play to much COD
  6. For the budget conscience like me you can get away with a 4 bulb T5. A 6 bulb'r would be better. I like my AquaticLife T5 fixture. A TEK or ATI may be better but will cost more. I prefer the AquaticLife because of the built in 3 way timer and ONE power cord.
  7. I personally prefer T5 due to the mixing and matching of bulbs. ATI.....FTW
  8. I used to have an Acrylic tank. I found that acrylic retains heat so I would recommend a T5 setup unless you are prepared to buy a chiller....just sayin
  9. Before I setup my first reef in 2002 I read: The Reef Aquarium I (Julian Sprung and Charles Delbeek) and The Natural Reef Aquarium (Tullock), but I am not sure sure if the publisher is still printing.
  10. I need 1 Half Gallon Lignite Carbon - Large Particle . I work near Great Hills Trail so I can drop off the cash or whatever you prefer.
  11. Very festive. The Chalice looks very Christmas
  12. Homer Simpson: "mmmmmm baby clowns"
  13. I use the moonlights integrated in my AquaticLife fixture. All LED lights will give a ripple effect as the light is "pointed". If the lights are too bright they may not be good for moon lights as the corals underneath the LED's may not "go to sleep".
  14. Looks good to me. I like the caves up front. This reminds me....I want to redo my rock to create more sand bed.
  15. My fish and corals love Rod's Food (original). My Acan's, torch, chalice's and brain put out lots of feel'ers as soon as it hits the water. I also feed FreezerBar (cyclopeeze available at your LFS) . I like the cyclopeeze because it has very low water content and is very high in protein.
  16. Thanks for the info. That was the most unprofessional response I've ever read......WOW.
  17. they do grow kinda slow......it helps to talk to them. Anyways, are you're params good? check CA, KH, mg (if ya got it) and post. What's your flow like? Also, 420nm is true actinic.....
  18. Oh, so there is no such thing as a stork fish . You got me Mike....good one. Now........BTHO the cornhuskers! Whoop! '95
  19. thanks for opening the buffett Mike. I am interested in 1 - A. Horrida-Hairy and 1- Northern lights. PM sent
  20. I enjoy looking at my tank for long periods. I feel it helps me quiet my mind after a long stressful day; kinda like meditating . Anyways, welcome to the club and enjoy!
  21. Pm sent....I want a good deal on a 2010 model
  22. That is so cool! Where did the clowns come from?
  23. I use Rod's Food with a long turkey baster once a week and fly by's when I just dump cylopeeze or rod's food in the tank.
