Well I haven't been on this forum in a long time. I had a 20L for the past 8 months. Just switched it all over to a 75 and I am STOKED!!! Figured I would share with you guys. Tank Setup 11-3-14 75G All Glass Aquarium Custom stand 30G custom sump with refugium Par38 bulb Lighting = PC/MH...

Just wondering what type of bright/cleaner fish I can put in my 20L... I know it is limited. I was thinking maybe a yellow coris wrasse, lawnmower blenny and purple dottyback. I have it ran with about 25 pounds of LR, a 20G sump, bubble magus curve 5 skimmer, filter sock, filter pad and...

On my 20L since I am running a filter sock now and I have less gph going through my sump than I used to with my bigger tank. The big baffle I use for a sponge/filter pad isnt really necessary and the water isnt flowing onto it enough to really catch much, only on the very edge. SO I was...

I have a bubble magus curve 5 skimmer.* It's rated at 140 gallons.* *It worked awesome in my last setup.* *I'm wondering how long after initial setup should I run it and should I run it all the time or just once in awhile.* *My whole system will probably be about 30 gallons.* *I know I have...

Well I have had tanks in the past and have always used live rock. I see a lot of people with pests in their tank such as red bugs etc... So I'm wondering this go around if it's better to get base rock then dip a piece of established live rock and break it up then spread it around the tank so...

Ok so I have a chance to buy a AquaC EV-180 Protein Skimmer for 175 bucks. Should I get it or just hold out and get the Reef octo NWB150 for 225? Anyone have experience with the aquac?

Well I think with part of my taxes I need to get a good skimmer for my tank. (46G + 20G sump) I am currently running a AquaC Remora HOB in the sump and it does ok but im sure its not enough. I am trying to decide between a couple. I am limited on space. Only have about a 10x12x 28T" area...

Ok so everytime I have cycled a tank I used a damsel or 2 yea its mean... whatever. Anyway, Trying not to go that route this time with the 10G. I thought using established LR with some filter media and sand from my main tank would cycle it but its been over a week or more and amm is only...

so the past couple weeks I noticed my overflow box wasn't working right. my water level was much higher than usual I was about to overflow. I thought maybe it was plugged or my aqua lifter wasnt working right. So I took the lines off the aqua lifter about a week ago and blew in them and...

Yes aquariums are just like pringles... Cant have just one! Inspired by my buddy I set up a 10G I had laying around. It will be only soft corals. Most likely all mushrooms. It already has some mushrooms on the rock I got but they will probably die in the cycle. The yellow all over the rock...

Well my sump isnt big enough to run a Fuge so ive just had some chaeto in my return area with a light for awhile. Do you guys think it would be beneficial enough to buy a hob fuge? Its a 46G Bowfront mixed reef. I was thinking this? CPR Aquatics AquaFuge 2 Small Hang-on Back Refugium

First off I have a 46G mixed reef so im not a total noob haha. Since my buddy mentioned an all mushy tank ive been stuck on the idea... What about a 10G nano? I have pretty much everything to set it up except a light. I was thinking the rapid led Par38 mixed LED bulb? 12 LED PAR38 Bulb...

I've tried to do research on led's and stuff it seems to be all over the board. I need to either get a new fixture or Atleast get a new bulb for my MH pendant. But it's just a 175w screw in type. I'd rather upgrade but not sure what to get. I've been looking at the taotronics and rapid led...

It seems like my rock flower anemone is getting more transparent. I doubt this is a good thing. I spot feed him mysis shrimp once a week... Before... Now...

But I cant seem to find a good thread on it. Whats a good Budget Skimmer? I have a Red sea triple pass and i hate it. Works like crap. Im ready to buy a better one. My problem is it has to fit in my sump which I have a spot thats about 9-10" x 12" seems hard to find something with that...

Ok can someone help me figure this out cause me and 2 of my buddies are stumped. I got a Red sea berlin triple pass skimmer ( I know they suck) I got a Rio 2100 pump to run it. It hardly makes any bubbles in my sump but get this... I take to it my buddy who I got it from. Put it in a bucket...

I thought this was a sponge but I see now it has polyps! Any ID?

Ok so I did this for a temp refugium but I think I might keep it... What do you guys think? Is it serving the purpose?

I got some zoa from my LFS I think they are eagle eye but not sure. Anyway they have been in my tank for a few days and still wont all open. they were like this at the store too which is why I got them cheap. Any idea? My other zoas are open and happy and everything else in my tank is...

Ok so I thought my tang had a spot of ich when I first got him but the next day it was gone so I thought I might have been salt/sand.... Well I come home today and it's COVERED in white spots. Only fish I have in there is my sailfin tang and a bangi cardinal. What's the best way to go about this?

I know everyone hates API tests but does the phosphate one work? Because Mine always says zero which I thought was good but I am getting algae growth (bubble, green hair, cyano) and everyone keeps saying I must have phosphates in my water?

Looking for a pump for my Berlin turbo skimmer. Needs to be atleast 600gph. cheaper the better :) Let me know what you have. Thanks!

I was sold one being told they do but he isn't eating it at all. I know yellow tangs do...

Well I have a 10g I'm going to drill and setup as my refugium. But until that happens I have had a hob filter running on my tank well I have it established enough now and got my sump all plumbed in so I am just running a sponge in my sump. SO! I took the filters out of the hob and replaced...

It's looked like this since I got it about a month ago. Seems like it should be more open... I had him up top then heard they like lower light so I moved him almost to the sand bed yesterday but still right under the light. Any ideas? I spot feed it mysis shrimp and it eats like crazy.
