For months now (since Feb.) we (my gf and I) have been slowly piecing our 60 gallon tank together. This gave us months of practice on our 20gl long tank and hours on hours to read up and catch up on all the latest reef hobbyist info out there. Well the day finally came when we had all the pieces...

starting to put my 60 gallon together and everyday there is something new I overlooked. I want to do this right so I dont waste my time and money. Any help is greatly appreciated. So here is what I have so far. The tank I have had a return drilled in the top left corner and an intake drilled...

Welcome to the saltwater/ reef game. Nice set-up. Would love to see a pic of your PS, just to satisfy my own curiosity. What else are you running on your tank? Didn't mention anything about powerheads.... A must in my book If your going to have a tank . I put in a small Rio powerhead to create...

Thanks for the replies. Greatly appreciated. Just pooped, Gave me a scare there for a second. With the light, does anyone know the highest wattage that can be put into a corallife t5HO dual light? Know this isn't the right forum but if you come across this and know please do tell.

So a few days ago I fed my BTA a whole silverside (in pieces) after having this guy in my tank about a week.. This morning he was deflating and had a slimy substance coming out of him. He continued deflating over the next few hours and now he is fully deflated and sucking into himself with his...

My girlfriend did the same exact thing with our 20gl we have. Your cycling was to short and that's 9/10 why you have no fish right know. I would suggest spending 20-25$ on a good marine aquarium handbook. I purchased Marine Aquarium Handbook, Beginner to Breeder by Martin A. Moe, Jr. This book...

A friend w/ a all the bells and whistles on his 120gl tank insist that getting and running a chiller on my 60gl set-up is a most. Live in Los Angeles. So it never gets hot at night, but in the middle of summer in the afternoons the heat can get up there. Def never would be an issue any other...

Totally forgot about putting in a heater. Went and got a thermometer today. So I'll watch the temp tomorrow and go get the heater. Might be able to get by w/ out one considering it is now finally summer in LA. Place gets hot in the afternoon (no A/C) but I do have it in a cooler room next to the...

Just scored on 60 lbs of live rock from a local store. Price was so good a couldn't pass it up. Cured of course. This will be used in my 60gl tank. Now here is the question/ give advice.... The 60gl won't be up for at least 2-3 months. So I put the live rock in a plastic trash tub with the rock...

Hey all! Just started at the beggining of this year (2012) when my girlfriend brought home a 20gl glass tank. 3 clown fish and a hand full of damsels and I could stand by and watch anymore. Now I am hooked. In the works of setting up a 60gl w/ stand and canopy. (WWill post more on this set up...
