Yep. It has to be handsfree. Good thing though it's still safe to yell at the kids, put on the makeup, shave, and faceplant into a BigMac.

God forbid I glance at my cell phone.

Thanks Kevin! I know about the kelvin scale and how it relates to colour and growth. I'm more interested in the subjective aesthetic... Some people SWEAR by the colour of VHO actinics while others...

Cool Hello (self introduction here)

Hi Everybody!

My name is Neil and it's been about a year since I've had a tank. It was FO and I was just starting to get my toes wet with live rock. Life became busy and I had to give it up for a...

If captive raised tangs only grew to 20% of their max size then an 11 inch Chevron would only be 2.20 inches. No one was saying that was the case... but if it were true (though obviously it's not)...

Re: stocking 65 gallon reef tank.

True, 65 gals are tall and they don't afford much space for swimming. You could though probably get away with something like a Chevron Tang though. Chevrons stay relatively small, have beautiful...

Painting an unfinished stand

I got a heck of a deal on a new stand with the only catch being that it's unfinished. (Ok, maybe more a bonus than a catch since that means I get to pick the colour)

Do I need to be wary of what...
