Oh my livestock wasnt too plentyful; 2 small O. Clowns, a lawnmower blenny, 6 line wrasse, powder brown tang, green mandarin, pajama cardinal. so if you have a more aggressive eater or bigger fish you might want to add them seperately.

i just moved my tank across town... a 75gal reef set up. I filled a couple coolers with the water from the tank and left my substrate in the bottom of my tank. I put the live rock and my fish in two seperate coolers. I put the water back in the tank as soon as i got my tank setup and left a...

yes i plan on adding about 60lbs more of live and base rock. and as for the algea it was first kinda powdery but after i let it build up it darker and thick and kinda looked slimy but when i vacuumed it up it broke up into tiny particles like dust. also after i let it build up before i did two...

Whats your favorite blenny?

the past two weeks my tank has been battling some brown algea type stuff on my substrate and i dont know what exactly it is or how to get rid of it all. here's the schpeel so we get the facts right. i have a 75gAGA with a 150g rated wet/dry filter with a mag7 as my return, 2 maxi jet 900's, a...

purple up does speed up the process but smo is right i have seen my corriline spead in the few months that i have had mine set up for

depends on your algea growth but if you clean them off whenever you clean your powerhead you'll be straight

if you want 600gph flow and random flow or branched flow then go with like a mag9.5 with the sqwd (squid) or even a 12 depending on height but more then likely the 9. and i would recommend the mag drives, im a first time uses besides using rios and catalina's and im sold on them. very...

thats why when i buy fish i do it from my lfs and make sure he is all treated for diseases, he marks the date of when the fish are recieved and i wait at least 3 weeks if possible and check up on them daily if i can. but i have a question also about tangs. does anyone see me having a problem...

K thank you guys very much for your help and input.

i went with 4x96w PC's from ahsupply.com and am very satisfied so far

go with the U tube, i have slowed the flow in my tank to check that and somehow it just doesn't break the syphon. mine is rated for 600gph and i use a mag seven but once used a maxi jet 1200 to see if the power went out or something if it would break the syphon and it didn't, just make sure the...

yea i use them on my maxi jets and they work great

he was in my lfs tank for a while before i bought him, about 3 months... i've been watching the fish since i set up my tank in feb and the tank it was in was barebottom. i have no reason why he would die but he was doing great for about 2 weeks, all my params are in check, and he was eating...

if there is detrius on your rocks and substrate and your having an algea bloom you might want to cut back on feedings. how much do you feed your fish and what fish and filteration do you have? how big is your tank and what are your parameters? hermits and other crabs will take care of the...
