Yeah definitly need a second heater. The fish are still alive, shrimp still alive and the corals are still extending there polyps so im hoping for the best.

For You to keep an anenome happy your going to need either metal halide or T5 lighting. Most people would not use a filter and just rely on the live rock for biological filtration and use powerheads for circulation. As for a skimmer you dont really need one in that small of a tank as long as you...

Last night my metal halides turned off but for some reason the fan stayed on all night and when i got up this morning i looked at my thermometer and the tank was at 66.5. I am slowly bringing the temp back up and i was just wondering if there is any thing else i should do to prevent loosing any...

Yeah i just wanted to know what you guys thought about it. I think im just gonna stick with Seachem reef salt.

Just wondering if anyone has used the new Brightwell Aquatics salt mix? http://http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SALT-BW-150&Category_Code=Salt

I am about to upgrade from a 29g reef to a 90g megaflow aquarium, and i was wondering if two 175 metal halides would be sufficient light for a mixed reef and a few sps corals in the upper parts of the tank?

Just wondering what works the best to clean salty hazyness off of a reflector? Glass cleaner just doesnt cut it.

I have not seen one in person but ive checked out the web site and they look really nice. If you end up getting one let us know how they are.

I have a 29 and 2 koralia 2s and i think its perfect. I even have a couple of softies, and a hammer coral. they dont get blown around The flow is great.

If you want to use t5 i would go with this 48" Nova Extreme 8x54 watt T5HO w/ 4 Lunar Lights: Premium Aquatics Its pretty cheap for the power. and you could keep a wide variety of corals.

Anemone's need a tank that is stable and well established for six months or more. As for lighting you will need either MH or HO t5. With this kind of lighting you could keep pretty much any coral you want.

I wouldnt bother with any of that, I would just stick with live rock and the fishless cycle.

If your skimmer is the one that came with the maxijet 1200 pump its only rated to 75 gallons. Aqua c sells an in sump skimmer called the urchin pro that would work nicely.

The chocolate chip star fish has an appetite for corals and is not reef safe.

If you mix the sand and crushed coral, the sand will sink to the bottom, and you will be left with a layer of crushed coral on top. Most people dont use crushed coral because it traps a lot of waste and leads to high nitrates. hth

I started with Oceanic then switched to Reef crystals. and now im trying Seachem reef salt.

Any one know of a good product to remove scratches from glass i have a 40g tank i would use if it wasnt so scratched up.

I hava a 2 in my 29g reef, so if i were you i would go with two 3s.

I dont know the difference, but i had a 12g nanocube dx and i liked it alot. the only problem i had with it is that the moon lights crapped out after a month, but i hear thats a pretty common problem with the nano cubes.

Save your money and check out some RO/DI units on ebay. IMO The RO water from the store is most likely better than the water that that filter produces.

I mix it in a 5gal bucked with a powerhead and a heater.

Do you think it could be by water? im using tap until i get a RO unit.

I was wondering if anyone else is using this salt. I just switched from Reef Crystals to this and when i make my saltwater it stays real cloudy and leaves a powdery residue on the sides of the bucket. Im just wondering if this is normal for this brand of salt. I have used Oceanic and RC, and...

Thanks Roka. Did you buy yours off of ebay. and if so how do you like it?
