Wow its been a long time since I was on here. My last post was a super long time ago, so old that I cant even reply to my own thread. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f14/new-to-aa-and-saltwater-looking-for-some-advice-113353.html Quick Update: Since the last time I was on here the...

So Plans are still on hold due to wedding funding but my Grandpa did come through once again. He called and said he has a filter for me and he was sending with my mom to give to me. well long story short. I now have a fluval 405 Filter. Guess I can check the filter off my list.

IMO it is more time consuming than difficult. Question is how do you want to spend your time? Going to the LFS, or mixing it yourself?

Update Checked water parameters today. All things are good, Nitrates are a little high so ima do a PWC in a couple hours and that should take care of it. Have a new refractometer coming in the mail this week! I also pulled the tank I will be upgrading to out of the garage and gave it a little...

Really? This one says dawn/dusk and lunar lighting SunDial T5HO | Current What's Next

does this one work? Current USA 24" Sundial T-5 Fixture 4x24W or this: http://shop.aquatouch.com/product_p/cur01120.htm same thing without the lunar lights i think.

Long time away! Wow I have not been on in 10 months! Too long. First things first, My 29G tanks is still running smoothly. My plans to upgrade to the 60 is still in the works but has been put on the back burner since I recently got engaged and all my funds are going to the wedding! My Fiance...

Im still reading up on corals. Being a beginner I want to start with corals more suited to my skill level.I realize that there is no "easy" coral but I think I want to start with the ones that have the lower light requirements. So what would be a good lighting setup for my 29 gallon? its 19" tall.

my new 60 I called my brother and he took some measurements on the tank for me. It turned out to be: 48½W x 15½W x 19½T – On line calculator says its 63 gallons! So now I have decisions to make. Any and all advice is Greatly appreciated. I am going do the build on the 60 gallon very very...

So I picked up a couple new additions this weekend! (See Pictures) I think I can get One more fish then im all done. Im thinking that my ast fish will be a Coral Beauty. Would that work or is that overstocking? Also, I went to my grandfathers house for his 80th B-Day over the weekend and he had...

Your right about the Lifestyle thing. I never thought I would care so much about a tank of water! I considered building a canopy but I know myself and I am SOOO not handy enough to build things. Im good at alot of things but building stuff is not my specialty. also. Im going to pick up my next...

I is an Eclipse hood. so it has the lighting and filtration built in. I have been trying to see if I could house any corals but its not looking so hot with the current lighting so I may end up having to remove the hood completely and get a new lighting and filtration set up. Only problem is I...

I have the same setup as you. I just started a couple months ago so it only has LR and a couple Occelaris Clowns right now. I am reseaching the coral aspect. What I am hearing is that the lighting that comes with the eclipse hood is not good enough to support most corals, mabey Mushrooms if...

I have 1 marineland PH in already. Are you saying I should add another one?

I thought about the mushrooms, but I wanna make sure I can care for them properly. I will eventually switch out the hood all together but I wanted to get some reef going now. When I make the switch I will need to figure out how to keep dog hair out....
