Ordered two of them yesterday thanks for the assistance Mr x Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I made my hood, my tank only came with a stand, so I built a matching top . added some edges to hold the Aqua light up at the top, and have two sets of fans running in the back pulling air out. It draws fresh air from the front edge. Wood work is no problem for me so modding the hood to support...

Do they need to hang or can I fit them into my hood? They would sit about 8-10" above water. I would love to change over to led and get rid of my excess heat. Also ive had to change to manual air condition timers because the mh lights burn up aquarium timer strips

bulbs are coralife, ive been affaid to take the plunge on led so many brands and different options. The current usa seems ok but its cheap which throws red flag up for me. The lfs says their corals are growing great on the tank they have led on, but they told me the fixture is $2000 that's a...

I have a aqua light pro 48, I noticed my bulbs looked off colored, they are about a year old. So I went to the lfs and picked up two new 250w 14k bulbs. I got home took fixture apart changed bulbs wiped glass down and fired it up. Left side of tank is yellow and right side is blue, could my...

Here is a full ahot

Well when I first started I was going for the look of a display at the lfs. I really liked it ,but it's a bow front so it's a completely diff footprint. Then I bought a piece of man made fully cured. It helped spread coralline in the tank, but I think it's ugly lol. Working on the pic right now

Ps I will post pics when I get home

Last night I was cleaning my glass on my 90 gal, and I started to wonder if I had to much live rock. Might be a stupid question , but I thought I would toss it out there. I'm not even sure how many pounds I have anymore but I know it's around 100.

My guess would be the goby when I had one he did nothing but make a mess

I have a 90 gallon with two damsel and a cleaner shrimp. every other fish I have put in did not make it. Currently getting ready to trap the bigger one hopefully I will get him during the day tomorrow, and donate to the lfs

We had a hurricane hit hard a few years back, I ended up borrowing a generator by the third day. But before that I was using my 12 volt power inverter to run the power heads. Works for me however it was hot outside and inside my house, so I did not need a heater. Some times Walmart sells them...

If you can, buy some fully cured live rock that already has purple on it. This will help get it in there and start to spread out. I used dry rock that I ordered so my tank was white for a long time. After my cycle I started adding coral which came on live rock covered in purple coralline this is...

You should look into multiple heaters, I keep a small one in my display and a larger one in sump. the small one is set a few degrees lower so if the large one breaks the small one will slow the temp change down. This will give u time to pick up a new heater, just my 2 cents

K so my tank has been up for a year since the big move and upgrade to the 90g w sump, which is going great. My question is Ab my light fixture I have a 48 aqualight pro with two mh. First problem is I fry timers, they work for Ab 3-6 months then the dial will get sticky and spun broken as u...
