zoanthid eating nudibranch treatment

Posted: November 10th, 2011, 9:56pm CST by mandarinman

Hi guys i have seen a couple of bhergia looking nudis eating my zoanthids. i dipped the loose frags with coral rx but my rockwork is kinda solid. i have a possum wrasse and i was wondering if he would eat them if hungry enough. i have done a little research and it looks like salifert flatworm exit is the thing to use if your infestation is not too big. i am tending to lean in this direction. has anyone got suggestions that may help for current situation? I should dip all my corals when thwy come in. from now on yes i will.

Asterina spinulosida - Pest or not?

Posted: November 10th, 2011, 1:29pm CST by oceanseeker

Hi Guys

Ive got a couple of these in my tank and ive read mixed views on whether they are a pest or not.

What is your experience of these creatures. They havent damaged anything in my tank yet, so if they need to be removed then I must do so sooner rather than later

Here is a pic I took recently of one close up

Lighting spectrum

Posted: November 10th, 2011, 8:51am CST by Giepie

Hi MASA
Long time no see....

I have a general question w.r.t. lighting, more specific about the spectrum:

I'm coming to the end of the setup of my 1,7m reef tank and are now stuck on lighting. Don't worry, nothing in the tank yet - not even water... :)

My question: At what spectrum do my lights need to start (morning), peak (noon) and end (afternoon) before I fire up the moonlight.

The reason for my question is simple - Cost of MH lights and the electicity bill attached to it. I'm researching LED's. I have a supllier that build LED's for all purposes & he just needs to know the answer to my question to build me a lighting setup at about 50-60% less than the cost of a setup of T5's with MH, but with the same effect.
