New main return pump(s) idea New main return pump(s) idea, even that I not gotten any comment or suggestions on this topic, I will gibe it still a try. 　 　 A little update on my aquarium man who pick out what my MH reflectors would be in which all disagreed with it due to his lighting idea by...

OK ladies and gentlemen, its time now to agree or not, thumbs up or down on this lighting spec for my to be SPS reef tank 8'x2'x2' with a DSB of 4" to 4.5" The light quote is: for the metal halides - 3 250 watt (Screw in bulbs) (Retrofit reflectors with Reef Optix 1 ballasts. These...

You need to understand that you can ask and ask all around in the forums this question, but do know this. the SFE isn't the most docile of the moray species, and can be aggressive from some marine experts. Still your a living creature with one understanding for its own survival. That while in...

Yes, it is very possible your eel had eaten your lion fish, and the eel will be fine, your eel had taking the lion fish in head first.

I have supports under the crawl space of the house under were the tanks are set up at, also im going to add to that a number of more supports.

Perhaps you all misunderstood just what it was I was asking here. Im asking, being that this is the first time I ever kept a SPS reef tank, I was wondering just what other equipment should I be looking for? Buddy

I gotten all the equipment I bought used , all from just one hobbyist who was calling it quits. I feel with the huge savings of the equipment,. that I could have myself a new stand and canopy, still not heard on the second price quote on the 38" tall stand. MRC MR4 Skimmer IMG_6201.jpg...

I had a pump question to post, but i guess being that there seems to be no one available at aquariumadvice to assist me in my quest, you will then just wait to see it when it starts. Sorry, but i cannot waste time looking for certain answers were im not getting any. See your all later when the...

melosu58, what I find funny is when I check out these types of large tanks from setup to completion, mostly all of them has a strong return pump as I was saying I would have. I could only guess here that their with a larger PVC piping, and I know that James is going to put in a 1" . The flow...

That is funny, there were two post response here, lol 　 　 WhiteDevil, I like your comment better then a person who first joins up has nothing better to say, he/she might as well not said anything for that matter. but the idea at most in doing so was to get some ones attention , rather then you...

I post this in lighting, for I need to still know in what im to look for or even try to buy those who might be selling that item in the forums, im also telling you what has been happening and what further decisions I made to see this tank happening in the coming months. 　 Hi again, the last two...

Most eels in general can be rather difficult to start tank feeding, the main thing here you really need to do or have is a well sealed tank, excellent water quality, maintain the proper Ph with low levels of nitrates to no traces at all. Also allow a many hiding spots that you could possibly...

After the chainlink and Zebra morays, the SFE comes in third as the most docile species, but be aware that this not mean that your SFE will never show any aggression too its tank mates. As is, your SFE could or will prey on any small fish in its tank. Its not heard so often, but it do happen...

Four eels in a 30 gal tank??!!! Who is the Ignorant person here? YOU!!! Im sorry to say! 　 　 You think just because their in their juvenile stages that it matters not on the large mix of eels you have in so small a tank. Were as if you really knew what you were doing, you know that not all eels...

This is sad, how do you figure it that your saving the eels when your only tank is a 30 gals? Those eels are now more at risk to death then they ever were, young juvenile eels will grow. One thing that has always been said is that you never should take these animals from the ocean if your not...

Do take another look at the request im asking There was some misunderstanding due to the other tanks that im to house eels with corals (the 70 and 130 gal tanks) The problem in his saying that was, I told him that sometime much later, I want to get the two aquarium tank system moved from the...

he email he sent me: In regards to the closed system option – I do not think that with the combination of animals that you want to house together it would be a wise or ease undertaking. The lights that I am proposing for your eel/reef aquarium would include 4x t-5 54 watt actinic lights on...

when we move our tanks, the tank when setup again will go through a small cycle period, their is no escaping this. Its like when I moved my two tank system for eels, after moving, I had the eels staying at the LFS until after the small cycle finished and that the nitrate levels then leveled off...

When in moving your tank, no matter of the tank size, your tank will go through a short cycle period, lasting not more then a few weeks. :silly:

Excuss me, but when I readied over your thread, I get the feeling that you not too long ago just setup this tank, that its just gone through its cycle, is this correct? Buddy

Smart Eel, it knows that the silversides has no nutritional values to sustain him/her. Silversides for the most part, consist of mostly water and offers nothing to any eels diet. That would be a mistake in the happening, LFS for the most part, not even understand the eel species they often...
