I just purchased 2 MP10's and just realized that 1 side of the tank is too close to the wall for it to fit. I literally need 1 more inch and the MP10 will fit. I've also thought of just keeping a Koralia on the 1 side since it might be too much work for just a PH. Thoughts?

I went to my LFS a couple months back and was talking with a guy about BRS 2-part dosing system. He said this would help my tank flourish since my ALK has been down a bit, and I shouldn't just raise 1 (ALK/Cal/Mag) without having the other supplements. So I've been testing with Salifert kits...

So it's been 45min and no matter how hard I try I cannot unscrew the last filter. The first 2 filters were a pain in the @$$ to unscrew, but have been done. Now this last 1 I have been on for a good 30min doing everything I can think of. It's a 5-stage unit from FilterDirect and all lines...

I'm starting to get antsy with my current tank (MTS), so I'm thinking of getting a nano/pico tank to give me the fix I'm looking for. I would really like to put frags in the nano/pico, and then when they get big enough, move them to my DT (55g). So my question for everyone is: "Do you do...

I have been reading up on ATS ("Floyd R Turbo"... phenomenal information in multiple posts) and starting to consider an ATS. So I have a bit of a dilemma. I am currently running a wet/dry filter system with LR. I have been wanting to add a skimmer but I'm afraid it may not fit in my sump...

Hey guys, I received a $5 gift certificate with my "bucket o' salt" purchase from Drs. Foster & Smith. Unfortunately I've been real tight with money lately and haven't been able to spend it. I hope someone gets some use out of it! $5 to Pet Supplies | Dog & Cat Supplies, Pet Meds |...

I added some green starburst polyps to my tank and they tucked away for the first day, then slowly came out over the next couple of days. A week later they were gone and it looked like hair algae started to grow over them. I figured it was them just going into a period of hiding (I've read...

I know there is a ton of crap out there about Odyssea, but someone on CL is selling a 48" (2) 250w MH + T5 and 2 extra MH bulbs for $200 OBO. He said that ballasts were replaced by a friend and he thinks they are Icecap and he claims the only part that is Odyssea is the case. Here are the...

Ok, so this may be a repost, but I couldn't find it on here. Anyway, how long do you think it would take to cycle? World's Smallest Aquarium With Fish | EpidemicFun.com

Is it safe to say that the Ecoray 60D LED lights will be cheaper than Current USA Nova Extreme Pro T5 in the long run? Also, is there a way to set them up so this doesn't happen:

I'm wanting to do a mixed reef tank with SPS corals on top, and LPS/anemones toward the bottom. With my tank being 55g, could I get away with having 2 1050-1400gph PH on the top (each side of the tank) and have my sump return aimed down low? Or would I need to add 1 or 2 PH that are rated...

I think it happened to me this morning. With the blinds open the sun will shine about 3 hours in the morning into about 1/3 of the tank. After I fed the fish, my Jawfish retreated back to his den for a few minutes, then wandered out to where the sun was shining. I've never seen him make it...

I guy I know is selling this fixture for $600. Would this work for a tank that's 48" long? My only other concern is if this would affect the brace in the middle of my tank. 36" Fixture with 2 250 metal halide with 14k bulbs and Electronic ballast 4 High Output t5 super actinics 12...

I acclimated him last night using the drip method and kept the lights off from the time I started (5pm) to this morning after the sun came up. I didn't see him last night after I put him in the tank, and today I don't see any sign of him. There is a spot behind the rock in the corner that...

Ok, so basically I'm venting. I read this forum constantly because I have nothing else really to do at work, but something has been irking me for the past few months... :uzi: When you (anyone who posts) ask for help or suggestions from other members, please... DO NOT GET OFFENDED OR PISSY...

It didn't come off when I scrubbed the liverock, and I didn't notice it when putting it in the tank until today. Is this a Limpet? This was also something that was firmly attached to the liverock and didn't scrub off. It's flimsy, so I'm sure it's not coral.

My wet/dry filter is under my tank, but the way it's facing, I wouldn't be able to add a refugium unless I used 2 water pumps. I tried to draw a figure of what I would like to do with the setup under the tank. The only reason for this is because the drain pipe won't allow me to push the...

I had my tank set up in my living room so I could get a feel of the positioning before I started the tank, and while I saved money. With my birthday money I decided to just shop around at some LFS, but with no intentions of purchasing anything on a whim. Anyway, long story short, I left with...

It's about the size of a nickle.

I just got my shipment of liverock like a day and a half early; awesome! The only thing is that I didn't have time to prep my other tank for the early arrival. I'm asking because the salinity is about 1.017. I will be going to Petsmart in a couple of hours but wanted to know if low salinity...

My liverock is at my local FedEx as of 7:45am today and it's scheduled to arrive tomorrow. How good are my chances of getting it today?

On ebay there is a seller, TopDogSellers, that is selling a light fixture with 5 power cords. Is that overkill or normal? (I would post a link but I can't get it to work) 48" Metal Halide Lighting Aquarium 2x250 Watts Bulbs: $300+free shipping 2 power cords for 2 MH, one for 4 65w actinic...

I'm wondering what everyone's light fixture looks like when it's suspended. I see that almost every one of them has a hanging option and was curious how often people use them and what they look like. So post your hanging fixture picture!
