By the way the gorrilla crab got aggressive overnight.. he ran out and bit me when i put a piece of clam in then took the clam and ran under a rock... Geez this stinks, I really like xenia and zoas and they are all dieng, and today my clove polyps werent all open either.

stupid crab


i like xenia too but mine melted away when i got it, it was the nice blue pulsing kind

just keep doing waterchanges and hope that they all come back

[Reeftanker3295]

Maybe they will survive in my 75g... Just have to wait like 5 months I hope this gets everything back to normal...

well people either can grow it like weeds or cant at all lol were both just unlucky lol

can you grow green star polyps? there pretty nice and grow pretty quick

[Reeftanker3295]

Thats my next coral... The LFS has a like 7 inch chunk but it has some hair algae on it :/ hate that stuff

[quader94]

did you ever sign up for any of those clubs? if you did you should ask if anyone has any because people grow it like weeds

im hoping mine grows quick

Yea joined the hudson valley reef club, they are asking me to go to some meetings. The chunk of GSP's doesnt have much HA so ill probably just get it and scrub it off then keep a close eye on it

go and if your part of a club check the sponsors because if your a member you can maybe get discounts

[Reeftanker3295]

yea thatd be nice. What kind of equipment and lighting should i get for a 75 gallon for corals like you have in your tank (monti caps, birdsnest, zoa, carnation)

[quader94]

t5s or metal halides

my opinion- 2 250 14k metal halides and if it isnt blue enough add t5 actnics

[Reeftanker3295]

How much would it cost for halides and their fixtures?

[quader94]

well retros usually cheaper

[Reeftanker3295]

Trying to find a tank with atleast halides or t5's because lightings my biggest concern. I know how to make a sump and stuff but dont know much about lighting

[quader94]

yeah well hey you got time to search lol

[Reeftanker3295]

haha yea.. I wish i could have it now with all the problems in my biocube.. I hope it all works out and i can get a nice system for a good price. I have some stuff to sell (guitar) that i can probably get 200 dollars off and an airsoft gun for around 80 and a snowboard for like 75 so i can get 355 or more off just selling stuff then i will probably get around 300-400 for holidays and around 200 for working around so id say about a 800 dollar minimum which is more then i thought i could get and then for my birthday i can get another bundle of stuff.
