72 gallon Bow Front Reef Aquarium Updated

***This Hobby is very expensive to maintain, as a result I no longer keep. I will however try to answer your questions.***

This is my saltwater reef tank its a 72 gallon bow front, I use a protein skimmer filtration system (is there any other? lol) and a calcium reactor which has been a pain to get working right, a 1200 gallons per hour water circulation pump, a 300 watt heater and a 1/5 hp Chiller to keep the water cool in the summer.

Lighting is 48" CORALIFE Pro HQI Metal Halide/Compact Fluorescent with 4 LED Moonlights.

It's a Midas Blenny.

How's the pipefish doing? What are their requirements? Thanks

I think one of my crabs got him, I looked in the filter bag but cannot find him. They are so skinny that they can fit in very small spaces. They can tend to be hard to raise because of this.

I don't think so but I'm not sure, try asking LA Fishguys, he would know for sure. Just put their name in the You Tube search.

Sorry I can't help.

i only got fish now, but i have live rock, will the live rock grow any thing if i use fluorescent light bulbs

[mrlurp]

Depends on the tank like if its just fish or if you have coral, I have coral so I need a light which will feed the algae in the coral.

hey i have a 15 watt bulb on my tank is that why its not illuminating enough it looks really dull
