    The New Marine Series by Marineland

    Wow, I would definitly buy one. Love the entire package. Even the filter system is pretty cool. Not sure about 150 watt MH lighting. Maybe 250 watt. Marineland looks like they have been listening to the needs of today's hobbyist. That system is really cool.

    Hi, I'm new and this is my tank

    Thank you. My next upgrade is my camera. It just doesn't do the tank justice. Dallas fan, huh? GO EAGLES! Still upset by last week's game. That fumble between Mcnabb and Westbrook cost us the game.

    Hi, I'm new and this is my tank

    Just a couple updates, I upgraded my hardware recently and decided to get rid of the Coral Life Super Skimmer and Marine Land Bio-Wheels. I was not getting consistency from the skimmer with the rise and fall of the water level due to evaporation. That and I accidentally broke the air-in valve...

    My Stocking Plans For The New Tank. Comments?

    Hey Pat, If it were me, I would throttle back a bit. I would ditch the Starki Damsel at all costs. I would do a group of 3 chromis and not two sets. I would limit to 1 Clarki Clown and maybe consider a Midas Blenny in the mix. Awsome fishy and reasonably priced....tons of personality.

    Identifying Coralline Algae

    I beg to differ with you. I have to work a razor blade somf'n fierce to get it off my glass. At first you go..."Ooh pretty" but over time end up wishing you could contain it... Case in point below

    Hi, I'm new and this is my tank

    Here are some updated pics. I added a golden ricordea and rearranged some things. I decided to go with the 2 Island theme. I did this because I had to rip the tank apart to get to a couple of Emerald Crabs that were tearing up some of my LPS. I traded my Bicolor Angel and Oci clown because...

    what type of fish is perferrable for a beginner

    In my opinion, there are a lot of great beginner fish. And bottom line, whether you are a beginner or expert, these fish are held in high regard: Royal Gramma's stay a good size for a smaller tank. Afforable and hard to match the colors. Clown fish are a great choice. I prefer to keep one...

    Hi, I'm new and this is my tank

    The Lights are two T5 ho (1 6500k/1 Act 03) and 1 T5 Normal output. I just have a coral life 65 hanging on the back. It's not the greatest but does produce skimmate. I also use Rowaphos and carbon in the biowheel over flow. The wheels are caked with Algae so I like to think they act as a "Turf...

    Recommend a Good Source for D/I Water (Maryland)

    Hi All, My Ro/di system is about shot. I have a smaller reef tank (33Long). I figured, I could do freshwater top offs from tap water instead of replacing the unit...I'm Broke. Bad idea! Corals are starting to show the effects and back to pure it is. Can anyone point me in the direction...

    Nice weather for a gettogether (did that just rhyme?)

    There is also an incredible place called Roozen's Nursery off 495 by Andrews Airforce base. It is a haul but you won't believe your eyes. Two German owners that have more salt fish and corals than most. Everything s kept in a green house out back a large nusery. Unreal setup. I'm in for the...

    125 reef build

    Great tank, you must be a proud pappa cccapt...quick question. When you are dealing with the kind of heat generated from 3 halides, I see that you ran water to your basement for gravity and cooling effect. But when you build a canopy out of wood, do you coat the interior of the canopy with a...

    Hi, I'm new and this is my tank

    Few more pics Kenya tree Blue Mushrooms I know they are common, but they are so vibrant and eye catching to kids Crocea perched on a rock. Amazing the color differece when you look down from the top as opposed to through the galss. Looks more like Emerald green. Greenies and the camera...

    Hi, I'm new and this is my tank

    Hi all, I just wanted to share pics of my, relatively new tank. It is still maturing at only 5 months old. I took my time and set a limited budget that only took up the top of a buffet table. Made my girlfriend happy. It is still a postage stamp collection of corals but growth is coming...

    NEW 200 Gallon tank! what to do now?

    If I had a 200, I would make it a big fish tank with 5-6 large show fish. It would be a great tank as a reef, but you might as well refi your house and cash out 5-10 grand to get everything you need to have a reliable reefer equation. I would get the biggest skimmer you can afford in a rubber...

    Replacing T5 Bulbs

    You know, I have T5's and love 'em. They last, are affordable to purchase and build a tank around,do not generate a lot of heat,you can keep and grow darn near anything in the ocean, and they create a very nice lighting effect on the tank. Oh yeah, and energy efficient to boot. Why doesn't...

    Best protein skimmer?

    I like the needle wheel skimmers. Coral Life makes some goodies that accomodate a lot of different sized tanks for around $100. I have had them acting as both hang on the back and in sump. Believe it or not, they are more effective strapped on the back. They skim well, giving a nice rich...

    Is there a down side to overfeeding coral?

    Those are GSP (Green Star Polyps) Mine did not spread very quickly. They lay a purple mat and creep across the rock/glass. I do not feed the corals in my tank. A well respected hobbyist/writer once told me to leave the supplements and coral foods on the shelves....Good water (With changes)...

    pulsing xenia

    I was determined to keep Xenia. Every time I tried a couple stalks, they would shrivel up and melt. Waited a month, changed 25% of the water, removed the carbon from my filter chamber, and added some iodine (with a test kit). Bought a stalk and it split like crazy, the first three weeks I...

    Ich or not ich?

    The Heck with Hypo why didn't you treat with copper while you had them in QT. Main tank fallow QT copper treatment at around .17 for 3-4 weeks. I don't trust the hypo method with ich. There are to many ways for the parasite to beat it when you get a false reading of SG.

    Georgia Aquarium video

    I cannot believe what I just saw. I had no idea that there was an aquaium in the US that big. I still can't believe they had whale sharks?
