  1. The category for October is: Orange. In the spirit of Halloween, let's see your best orange aquatic themed picture

    Please note the new rules:

    • Picture must be taken by you.
    • One entry per person.
    • Picture must contain orange and be aquatic themed/related.
    • (New) You may only win once per calendar year. Thus if you win a photo contest in 2012, you will not be able to enter any future contests for the year. We feel this gives everyone a chance in the contests throughout the year.

    Submit your photos to the following gallery:

    October Photo Contest Gallery

    Submissions close at midnight October 15th.

    Winner receives a $25 Reefs2Go gift certificate!

  2. In the Clarkiis defense, . . . 2) when I fed them more often (it seemed like the female would sandstorm all over the place, and then go back and look for food there, as if she was hoping she had buried some earlier . . .

    Are you telling my all the times I've had female clowns attack me they were just wanitng to be fed more and not that they didn't like me? doh.gif

    Well, in your case.... ;)

    (To make you feel better, my female maroon would dart across the 75g just to bite me crab.gif )

  3. The live rock will help with filtration ... which is going to be key in a predator tank. You need really good filtration since predator tanks tend to get fed a lot more/heavier than reef tanks. The live rock will also provide a more "secure" feel to fish in the tank, as lion fish like to hide to stalk there prey sometimes, plus eels like caves.

    Speaking of eels, you will need to make sure you have a good fitting lid. They are notorious escape artists. They don't quite understand they won't live outside of water. Many years ago I had a snowflake eel that I raised from 7 inches long to almost 1.5 feet. Over the course of the years, he was fine till one day he got it in his head to go exploring the dining room floor. Found him dried up on the floor the next morning.

    If you don't plan on keeping corals initially, you won't need an ultra-fancy light.

  4. I have been thinking about doing this for my 75g also ... mainly because my glass tops get so dirty and filter out a lot of the light.

    But I suspect that switching to mesh tops would drastically increase the evaporation rate. Which probably would lead me to figure out some sort of auto-topoff for my sumpless tank.
