Ill be getting a 150gal tank soon, with a 55gal sump. My question is when i perform my weekly 10% water changes is it 10% of only the tank 150gal or 10% of 205gal the total water amount? thank you

I have been thinking of doing this layout: Skimmer -> Return <-Refugium. The skimmer and refugium chamber will each get a supply line from the tank, and i will be able to put a ball valve on the refugium's chamber to limit the flow. Now my question is how to do i build this? I believe I'm...

I just got a 150gal 60x24x24 with built in dual overflow, and have the old 55g that i would like to turn into a sump/refrigium. I will be needing a new skimmer(in sump), so recomendations would be greatly appreciated. If some one can please send me their sump plans. I will be looking to have...

How were you able to catch him? When i first got my lr i was able to find one and gave it to the lfs, but every night I can hear one clicking in my tank. It has been almost 8 months and I have yet to see it. I want him out!!!!

I couldn't find any maracyn so i got triple sulfa.

I was able to get him out on the first try with the algae. He is currently in a QT tank. However, this was all done yesturday and wasnt able to see Steves message about melafix. I already had half a bottle of melafix and did the suggested dose, and this morning the redness completely went...

Well im going to attemp to QT him, he does come out when he sees me messing with the algae clip. Will Melafix be ok to use? If i am not able to get him in qt, will melafix harm the main tank? thank you very much steve

I feed nori, spectrum pellets, and mysis shrimp, The emperor will eat all except the the spectrum pellets. I feed every other day, but the nori is always replaced. The redness at the base of the tail is very very minor now. Wold he be a canidate for a qt? I am going to do a large water...

Help my emperor angel's tail and the tips above and below the tail are rotting. At first i thought it was a fish pecking at him, but after observing i saw nothing. This morning even more of his fin was missing! How can i treat him i have nearly 160lr in a 80gal tank(basically impossible to...

Check ebay, I always seem to find something super cheap... so cheap... i ended up going with MH

great idea thanks guys. :D How would i go about propagating this polyp. I want to send it off to a friend. From what I understand I would just cut a few attached polyp(from the base) and super glue to a rock. Is this correct?

ya they are seperate heads some even have multiple heads. Should i keep some of the crete its attached to for a base? if i break the whole coral piece off i fear they are too small to just place on a lr in the tank.

i can care less what happens to that piece its on, wether it be used as individual squares for each coral or totaly destroyed. I would like each torch coral to be separated so ill be able to place them individually where i would like.

I would like to keep 4 of them, and send 4 off to a friend.

Here are 8 torch corals on an agrocrete circle. how do i remove them?? should i cut the agrocrete and separate them..? I am very confused on how to approach this. your advice is greatly appreciated.
