from naples... go to FSU in tallahassee though...

Yeah that's what I have heard. Too bad because i love the green...more than the pinks and purples. i know i am pretty alone on that but still. anyway, I'm kinda worried because it is spreading rather quickly. Oh and thanks about the tank!

Hey all, My tank has been up since just after new years. It's a 29g standard aquarium, with 60-70lbs of live rock and maybe 5lbs of live sand. I have two clownfish, a conch, and some snails in it. My water quality is excellent, which I have to give credit to the new protein skimmer. That thing...

That's what i was thinking, I didn't want to separate them for fear of disrupting their natural cycle, but at the same time, I didn't want one or both of them to die. No they were not mated, however I did get them out of the same batch (in the same tank). They, with many others, were shipped...

Hey all, I usually don't post because I can usually find my answers by browsing/searching the forums but this is a pretty case specific problem. So, I got my tank up and running, everything doing very well, got a pair of small clowns and threw 'em in (not literally, lol). Anyway, they were...

Hey, what do you guys think about taking sand from the beach? Obviously I would find a place where there is no human activity, and try to scoop the cleanest possible sand... The thing is, I live in Naples, FL and we have really really white sand, and I think it would look great in my tank. I...

ok well I have pretty much decided that I am getting the MH to addon to what I have, but how to I work out if it's too much? Or is it not possible to have to much? Thanks!

ok thanks a lot! Anyone know of the best (as in cheapest) place to get arag sand online?

Yea well that's what I was thinking...I only want to do it once lol. however it's already been done once, and if I wan't to keep stony corals, then I need more. However, I would still like to keep my current, softer corals. Is there no in between? just high light or not? I think you are right...

Hey, I am trying to work out how much lighting I am going to need for my tank. I have seen the 4-6 watts per gallon thing but here is where I run into some confusion. Do I include the atinic lighting into my total watts? Because if that's the case, then look at these numbers: 1 x 250w MH 2 x...

Hey, I have a 29gal tank that I would like to setup for a reef. I have sort of half ass done this before, but I would like to do as much as I can right this time. What I am really looking for at this point is recommendations for my size tank. Here's what I need/want: MH lighting. I currently...

I have had the hydor rotating tip thing (lol sorry) for months, and it works really well for me. Actually I had 2, one on either side. Anyway, my new plan is to have the hydor tip on my return (from the sump) right in the middle of the back-topish of the tank, then have 2 koralias in either...

lol that's sooooo cool!

Hey everyone, I am going to college soon and I must sell my aquarium. Everything I have has been used less than one year. Most less than 6 months. If you are interested I can get pictures. 90% Full Tropic Marin PRO-REEF salt bucket 10% full IO reef crystals salt bucket 65% full tropic...

I have a 29 gal :) Think maybe a small one later on?

I wasn't really considering any combo just yet, I'm still cycling (for the second time, dont ask). Just was wondering if I could do it...so the clowns that I plan on getting could hangout in them. Thanks!

My LFS says I cannot have anemones and corals in the same tank. Why not? How hard are anemones to take care of? TIA

Hey, I am looking for the cheapest online place to buy tropic marin salt, and weather or not it makes a big difference getting the original or pro reef formula? Looking for a 200g bucket. Thanks in advance!

I don't know what it is either, but both times I started my saltwater 29g from scratch (don't ask) it happened. And after a few days it will get really really bad. Let it, then do a pwc from the top of the water (with a pitcher or something) and get as much of it as you can. After that, add your...

Oh ok...I understand now. Yea, I didn't even think of the siphon from my return line lol!

Ok well what are the changes of the siphoning failing or something? How sure are you of your system never overflowing? I can just see the siphon stop for some reason and the pump keep going...

my skimmer? Really? For the whole tank filtration? and what is a 180 micron bag? Bag of what? hehe sorry I'm a bit new to this. And what is the sand on the right for? And what overflow would you recommend? That's different from the siphon thing right? Becuase I don't like the idea of a siphon...

What kind of mechanical filtration would I put in instead? thanks!

Hey, I am going to be building a stand for my 29 gal, which is now on an old solid computer desk in my room (hey, I'm 16 :) ) and I was wondering about a sump. I realize my tank is a bit small to be putting a sump on but it just seems like it would be nice from all the things I hear about...

No, cloudy before I changed any of the water...
