Hi Bill.

Thanks for the input. I didn't realize those lions were offshore in the Gulf Stream. Makes sense though, I didn't think lions could tolerate the 'mild' winter temps of NC.

A quick bit of background:

Nice tank Carrera.
I don't think Gdevine was criticizing you for NOT using a skimmer. Having run a tank with a skimmer too, there's no doubt that they're useful to remove stuff from the water.

Hey all,

I've been keeping aquariums my whole life, but have only been keeping 'reefs' for about 2002. Since that...

I need a pic.

It would be easy to mistake a damsel for an anthias and vice versa for the casual observer.

Not saying you did it, but I'd like to see.

Well, I agree, this isn't a tank that I applaud, and I certainly am not in favor of encouraging others to try to replicate it.

It's an interesting tank from a cultural point of view, but nothing...

You should write this up with more pics and submit to either reefkeeping magazine, or perhaps one of the in-print mags.

Here's my 60. It, unfortunately, doesn't look nearly this nice anymore.

Hi David,
I'm in central California, and I keep my reef in my garage. It is a standard, uninsulated, unfinished garage.

Hello all.

I have a 60 gallon cube reef. For a variety of reasons, but primarily time, I've pretty much decided to break the tank down.

The problem I have is that my tank is absolutely...

I'd skip the Joes Juice.

I used it twice, as per the directions.

In both cases, not only did it fail to kill the aiptasia, but it appeared to make it worse.

Higher than I would go, but probably ok.

Don't add anything.

I had a 110 with about half that. I'd cut the tang OR Bellus angel OR Anthias. Just my opinion.

Just my two cents-

While a tank that large allows you to add alot of fish, I have always preferred fewer fish.

With too many fish, things look cluttered and 'unnatural'. Fewer fish will allow...
