i would be carefull with that anemone and a mandarin good chance it might eat it, also if your hopeing to grow pods in the ac110 i would add more rock and less sand, it would probably help a lot if you set up another HOB filter with just rock or some other porus matterial and keep it totaly dark i think that would grow a lot more pods sence they like the dark, especialy if fed it and the tank with phyto, selcon, cyclopeez ect every few days

no i have thought about it before, and ended haveing a lot of pods growing in an 110 that i left on my tank after cycling all it had in it was the origonal sponge, also i added a bottle of tigger pods to my tank and i dont think they lived, i might have screwed up though, your best bet for pods and other life is good LR from the LFS or from other reefers, mandains dont just eat pods they eat anything small liveing in the tank mine has eaten all the bristle worms in mine

i've got 55 lbs of LR that i got from another reefer that were in his tank for 2+ yrs and after a couple of weeks my tank looked like the sand was crawling after lights out! I just started putting frozen brine shrimp soaked in garlic as well, and today, for the first time, he actually went after that while it was suspended in the water column. I think i am also going to raise some pods in a bucket per the instructions that came with the bottle, and just keep transferring a wack into my display tank each couple of weeks to re-seed it.

At first i didn't think it was as bright as my two bulb Hagen Glo, but after only two weeks i noticed an explosion of corraline growth on my rock and my PH case. i just started checking and dosing my Ca, Mg and dKH, so i will know better in a couple of weeks as to how things are doing. I think the only way i will be able to tell is by the colour of my corals and their growth if i keep my chemistry in check. What do you run for lights?

I've just got PC lighting on my 10 gal at the moment, planning out a custom ~30 (24" wide) for the near future. Toss up between these lights and the Tek at the moment. I hear the bulbs that come with these aren't the best, but I don't mind buying new bulbs, esp when you consider the Tek costs more and doesn't come with any either.
