Starting over with my tank!

I'm starting over with my 29 gallon tank. Hopefully everything goes well!

The tank was looking good... will post pics soon! (O old tank) I've been into freshwater fishtanks all my life and been messing with marine for about 14+/- years. With that being said, sadly enough I still have a lot to learn. I've always been on a strick build budget and i'm looking for advice as I go.

  1. Frag question!

    I bought some frags yesterday and I have a few questions:

    1) the frags thatare on them pegs that you push into the sand-if I want to mount them on a rock, how would I remove that little "tit" that you push in the sand?

    2) I have that 2-part putty, it really doesn't hold to good I think. What do y'all think? Should I just use super glue gel, are use both?

    3) I have a frag no on the frag peg, do I just mount it on a rock? Any advice?

  2. Lights are timed! The protien skimmer

    Yesterday I went to Home Depot and picked up some timers. Here's how I set them-

    Actinics-9am to 9pm
    Whites-10am to 8pm

    I have to get another timer for the moonlight.

    Does this sound good? (the times)

    Now, again, the protien skimmer has the foam up the tube but it seems that it won't go all the way up and go in the cup. Now my question is- do you think I need to have more bubbles or less? I've been playing with it but wanted to ask y'all ...

  4. Tang food and ich!

    Ok, my new powder blue tang has ich. On Melev's reef it says some people call these fish "ich Magnets" GREAT! Anyway, he or she is my new baby and I want to do what I have to do in order to give it a great home.

    What type ich med to give him? And, what food, they like (per Melev's Reef) dry seaweed and Nori?

    My sis is going to bring me to the LFS in a bit so all fast replies would be nice.

    Thanks in advance,

    HAT
