Nice work steve!! I appreciate your insight... Thanks a million.

I recently added one. Did you get that one?

I've been having some trouble with Acropora second names. Like Acropora loripes, polystoma, gomezi, hoeksemani, micropthalma???

Yeah I agree with Brenden. I also use Kent Marine Extreme Garlic and Selcon, with excellent results. Just one thing though, for your twelve gallon tank. Being that it is that small. I would be real careful about how much you add. A very little bit goes a long way. I wouldn't put more than one...

Why not try black silicone...

Sorry bout that...I fixed it now though.

Just a 29 gal with a 20 gal sump...

Anyone have any ideas what kind of Acro this is??? I just got it. I love it. Nobody knows exactly what species. It looks like it's definatly a table Acro, and it's about 3 1/2 inches. Super blue purple!!!

Thanks for that fishfreek! Im glad I asked about that one. Im starting this tank up tomorrow. About how far above the tank should I hang the lights? As far as the heater goes, I have a 350 watt titanium, micro-computer controlled unit, with LCD display of the actual tank temp. I was told it is...

What kind of acclimation will need to be done by upgrading my PC lighting on my reef tank to MH/PC lighting. With my current PC lighting, I have 4.5 WPG. Im moving everything to a bigger tank and adding MH's to the PC's. The bigger tank will be receiving 12.5WPG, with the MH/PC lighting. I...

Looks great man!! I would definatly go with the second set of baffles...to keep plants from getting in your Mag 7, and the more baffles the less microbubbles!! Nobody like microbubbles! Word

I definitely think you should use a skimmer too! I had a 29gal reef tank, and I even had a crappy skimmer, and no sump...that was not a good idea! I had so much algae growing on all my LR it was absolutely ridiculous!! Needless to say that tank crashed, so I started over with a 29g with a 20g...

Thanks guys! I did have the water going for a day before I put the new LR in, and I seeded it with about a half gallon of my reef tank water...i didn't think it would do that much, but maybe the water had enough bacteria in it to neutralize a spike??? Does this sound like a possibility...the...

Just wondering if anybody had any tips on how to make this skimmer work good. Im begining to think its not a very good skimmer. I used to have it in the sump but the water level is pretty high, and any fluctuation of water level would change the skimmers output into the collection cup. The...

Well, my LR has been curing in a 20gal with 3 maxijet 1200's, and a skimmer, for about 36 hours now. It turns out it was already cured before I got it. The rock was in shipping for 14 hours. It is 40lbs of some awesome Vanuatu LR! So today I tested the water, and the ammonia, nitrite, and...

Thanks fellas!

I just received my LR and I have a 20 gal setup for curing it. I was wondering about adding substrate. Is this a good idea? I was thinking by adding some live sand, it may keep the ammonia and nitrates lower...im not sure about this, so for now there is no substrate. Any suggestions for...

does anyone know if PhosZorb is aluminum based?

I have also ordered from liveaquaria.com many times. I've ordered fish, corals, inverts, and macroalgae. I've received everything alive and all is doing well. They are probably the biggest online retailers and have been in the business for a long time. Plus their shipping is the cheapest i've...

Yes Sir! The AquaC Skimmers are the best by far, and IMO, absolutly crucial. SOme people will tell you that you may not need a skimmer, but that is total BS! Yeah, you can get by without one, but with all the money and time your going to be investing in this hobby, your not going to want to...

Yeah I have the same thing going on right now in my tank and sump! 29gal reef with 20g sump. LR and DSB in sump with the turbofloter skimmer. The skimmer is releasing tons of micro-bubbles into the sump and then my Mag 5 is blasting them back up to my main tank. Where my water dumps into the...

Sounds pretty close. I would use a combination of metal halides and PC's for lighting on a 55gal, if your going for a reef, and if you can, use a sump tank, probably as big as you can fit, at least 30 gal. You can get a HOB siphon overflow box, so you won't have to drill the tank. I just got...

Thanks Steve! :wink:
