    The really funny part about all this is that the guy who started this thread, his profile pic is of him looking lovingly into the eyes of a girl (most likely his fiancee), yet she is the reason the tank is dead!

    I suggest a meeting at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell to pay our respects to the passing of the tank

    While at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, fishypets came out of the closet and told everyone he really wanted a planted tank.

      Oh, another pug reefer. We've got 2 pugs. Our old one died last year, still sad about it.

    That's great! Can't wait to hear about breaking that tank in. Probably a good anecdote about a diatom outbreak or the sump overflowing coming. While you are waiting, I'll be at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell...

    +1 for Combo Pizza Hut/Taco Bell song.

    In case anyone is thinking of a bigger tank, I definitely recommend one 8 feet long. I'm constantly amazed how much chill my tangs are in a big tank

      Imagine how happy they would be in a 10' tank. Maybe time for an upgrade.

      I think I'll wait until they grow and start causing problems before I upgrade Richard L. I never knew tangs cause problems when they got large. I haven't seen the scientific data on it so I'll have to rely on anecdotal evidence for now. Watch for an update in the future...

      It could be a series of episodes for you discussing the median age and size for sexual maturity of the species we keep. Don't forget to give me credit :-D

    everyone has it wrong. The tank is already build and the pulsing Xenia is growing like weeds! Must be the starphire glass that is making the coral growth.
  14. mcallahan
    MUAH! OMG...that's funny. I'm not laughing at you, just at the advice of LEDs turn corals green and that turning down the green channel will help. Oh lord...I'm still laughing. A lot of green light can make corals look green, so turning down/off your green channel can change the visual appearance of a coral, and I strongly doubt that will stop a coral turning green. I've never seen any scientific evidence on what turns a coral green (who would cough up the tens of thousands of dollars to fund that study?!). My observation of corals turning is green, specifically SPS corals is that green seems to be a defensive state. I.e...a blue SPS put into a new tank will likely turn green, then with good husbandry, it will turn back to its original color in time. Coral color is one of the most coveted prizes in reefkeeping. Anyone can buy a pretty coral, but few can keep them colored up and/or retain their original color.

    If Robb suggests Chuy's for a meet and greet while I'm in town, I'm going to get upset.

      They all just got back there from SXSW, so I'm sure they won't want to come back until at least ACL
