Kalkwasser is not necessary for keeping coraline algae. Just keep Calcium from 400-450 and Magnesium 1300-1400.

Water changes are always good to replenish Calcium and other elements. Depending...

Hi Mesquite,

You can grow soft corals, mushrooms, ricordia etc. Acan lords and micros should be no problem as well. I would stay away from the sps like acros with pc lighting as they may not...

Hi Fischer's Angel,

T-5's will get you coraline no problem but the real key is keeping Magnesium levels over 1300 and Calcium over 400. If your not keeping LPS or SPS it really does not matter as...

Hi Mudskipper1,

I would not suggest putting more than 1 Orchid/Fridmani in a 40g. Orchids and Neons are more territorial and will kill there own kind and other dottybacks.

Your best bet is...

Pogiboy,

They are a bit territorial but if you are introducing only 1 into a 75g it should be fine. I've got 3 sunrise dottybacks in a 75g with minimal aggression between themselves and actually...

The orchid dottybacks and neon dottybacks are aggressive toward their own kind. I've found that the Sunrise dottybacks are less aggressive than the other 2.

Captive bred dottybacks are...

SDguy,

The flavivertex captive bred from ORA are not very aggressive at all. 3 months in one of my tanks and they already spawned. Awesome fish.

How about the sunrise dottyback? They are very nice looking fish and the tank bred are fairly docile even compared to tank bred orchid dottybacks.

I'm running 14 x 39w over a 180 and keeping sps and clams. 8 bulbs may do it for your anemone. It's probably more trial and error.
