I like the 14K's, as they give a nice mix of the yellow and blue light. I am running Phoenix bulbs in my tank, and they tendto be a bit bluer than some other 14K bulbs.

Very nice tank. Welcome!
-
Exciting times I remember when we had that appointment ... the tech of course downplays that could be a margin of error ... though he was pretty positive on ours being a girl, and he was right.

This is the purplish thing I could find:

Wow. I have never heard of an anemone spawning.... always just splitting. Very cool. So from your research, are they asexual? Meaning, are you gonna have millions of anemones in the future?
-
Have you checked out ReefCleaners (one of our sponsors)? They normally carry a good selection of macros.

Also, there are some (be them rare) tanks that xenia just don't like, regardless of the parameters. In my old 24g tank I could not keep xenia, despite everything else doing fantastic. Now in my current 75g, I tried it again, and it is growing like the weed you hear about Same water source, but different lights (my 75g is MH, my 24g was CF).

I believe HeadlessDonky used to have some of his tanks plumbed together .. but he got out of the hobby I believe He was keeping seahorses. I have read about it on other boards also.

Sorry, I have no experience with the new ER skimmers. But I did like my Sapphire skimmer when I had my nano-tank.

Slick power strip for those of you without a controller

Hmm.. the picture says the outlets turn off after 11 hours unless you press hte button when the LED blinks. Not that good of a feature ... and kinda sounds like the button on Lost -
Wow, those are looking great for being newly fragged. Great job prof
-
Hammers/Candy/Frogspawn are super easy, as they are branching and have lots of dead skeleton to cut. I have accidentally fragged mine many a times by knocking them. And I agree, I am more hesitant on cutting through live flesh. BTW, my initial question was just checking to see if I needed to move this thread to the For Sale section

Are you selling these, or just showing off?

Welcome back to the hobby!

All those tentacles!

Welcome!

I think your fish catching is just going to require this:

I also have seen lots of growth. But on the color side .. well the jury is still out. I have seen some color shifts in some of my colors, not not always to my liking. I had a bleaching effect in a few of my LPS, but that reversed after a week or two. Most of my zoa's have stayed really brightly colored, but by red purple people eaters green mouths have faded some, and my pink zoas have taken on a more darker red color. Of course, this could also be influenced by the corals adapting to the 14K lighting over time.
-
Another thing to consider when keeping SPS is flow. They like a lot of it I hear.* * This is coming from a non-SPS expert in any way. I have one dinky one in my 75g tank, with no plans to keep more.
-
Depending on the fish load, and maturity of the tank, this is definitely possible. In fact, I regularly, um, "forget" to feed my fish for a couple of days in a row (yes, I hear Mark's Tank Protective Services on their way ), and things are fine. The tangs forage for algae on the rocks and glass. I see the other fish scanning the rockwork for food.
-
That is my Flame Angelfish. He is just blurry because he was swimming around when I took the picture.
-
I hope you put that little guy in your sump, and not the main tank. It looks like it has pointy claws, which normally means not-so-nice. (Don't want to scare you! Just mentioning ).
-
I noticed this when I epoxied a coral overtop of some coraline. A day or so later, the coral was knocked down and I had a bright orange patch left behind.
-
Ya know, this makes sense. I have had a heck of a time keeping chaeto alive in my fuge. Well, I don't really have much algae in the main tank, so my nutirent levels are low. Plus, I am dosing with the Reef Fuel also. My zoa's love it.
