I'm pretty close to the same schedule as Finch. 250 watt xm 14 k's with vho actinics. I am currently looking at changing to 400 watt lights and possibly going with 20k's with no actinics. (scratch)
Has anyone tried these bulbs? I was thinking about purchasing them but noticed that Marine Depot discontinued them which makes me a little nervous. They have good reviews on other sites. (scratch)
Now we just have to figure out how to get him to open a large store, open 24 hours, with tons of tanks, and no overhead so he can keep his prices down (scratch)
Turn around and run the other way while you still can! Saltwater is a dangerous addictive drug. It will cost you thousands and thousands of dollars and endless amounts of time on the internet, home improvement stores, and driving way to far to see what the other stores have. This may be your last chance!(daz)
they are a fish that likes to school. The problem is getting more then one male, they like to fight. I've kept just two together for years with no issues. In my opinion they are one of the easiest, most mild mannered, and neatest looking fish you can have.
I'm thinking maybe I could divide my 210 in half with a piece of plexi and separate the Bangaii to one side. Now if I can just get everyone to cooperate and go to the right side of the tank (scratch)
We just noticed last night that my male Bangaii cardinal is carrying eggs in his mouth! It is very exciting to have my first pair of breeding fish. I am doing a lot of research on what to do now, looks like about 20 days before he will release the baby's. My only concern right now is removing the fish once they are born before someone eats them! Everything I have read so far says not to remove the parents from the tank or the dad will probably release the eggs during the stress. Thinking about removing the rest of my fish but worried this may also cause stress on my Bangaii. I will keep you guys updated during this process! (clap)
