Yellow Tangs

Are yellow tangs bred in captivity or caught in the ocean? My cute guy died today. RIP.

I had him for a year or so.

Sump Cleaning

How often do you clean your sumps?

The bottom of my sump looks somewhat dirty. I was thinking of setting up a replacement sump. So I could switch my sumps in and out and clean.

Water Motion

Is it possible to have excessive water motion in the tank. My reef currently has a tomato clown, yellow tang, black dominoe, dotty back.

Is there such thing as fatigue in fish?

I read somewhere the double ended MH bulbs are much better than the single ended. And their outputs are better than the single ended. Not sure by how much.

Escalation in Equipment Needs

I just went to my lfs(reputable), was told I needed 400W MH's with 100W actinics x2 to keep SPS in a 3 ft zone. I'm under the impression this is too much light or am I wrong? So for my 125 I would...

Baby Frogspawn

Anyone else's Frogspawn spawn? I have a baby Frogspawn in a nook in some LR, I'm pretty sure it wasn't there before. And the LR looked more like base rock than LR when I bought it.
