Looking to go with a 3 x 150 watt HQI /T5 combo fixture for my 72 x 18 upgrade. Now I know whats quiet to one person might be loud to someone else but I'm interested to know if there are any fixtures out there that are pretty much silent. I'm pretty sensitive to noise, especially when it comes...

Just noticed about a week ago that I have a few spots of what seems to be bryopsis. It looks like it came in on a frag I purchased about a week ago. I only have a few strands on a couple different rocks. It doesn't seem to be growing all that fast. Unfortunately I cant take the rocks out because...

I'm really confused about this growth I'm having on my live rock. I keep thinking its just coralline algae but I have never seen it grow so fast. It also is starting to get on the larger pieces of substrate I have. The rock is BRS fiji dry rock. Never had Cyano before and I just don't...

I just recently bought two Ricordea frags and I have them in my 90 gallon tank. I currently have 4 x 54watts of T5HO lighting and they seem to be doing great. I just found a great deal on a 48” SunPod 2x150W HQI Fixture by Current USA. Will I have a problem as far as shocking the heck out of...

Recently started a new 90 gallon tank. Been setting it up for over a month now and while doing this I started to cycle a 20 gallon tank. I used 2 pieces of shrimp and the cycle has been finished for about a week now. I was planning on adding sand and dry rock to my 90 tonight. If I add...

Just a quick question. About to setup my new 90 gallon Aqueon drilled tank that has a 1" bulkhead and a 3/4" bulkhead. Planning on doing a herbie style and was wondering if the 3/4" drain would be sufficient enough for the back up drain? Originally wanted to go with a perfecto tank because they...

Has anyone ever attached to sumps? I currently have a 30 gallon sump/refugium and I also have a 30 gallon wet/dry filter laying around. I was thinking of attaching them together. I think it could work if I used 2 1.5" bulkheads with small pvc pipes connecting the two sumps. Anyone see any...

Been a while but heres a few pics of my 7 month old tank. Changed the rocks around from the initial setup. Think I like it this way better. Think I'm about ready to add some easy corals. Original thread was here: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f71/75-gallon-pics-125970.html

Just purchased a Flame hawkfish to go in my 75 gallon fowlr. I already have a Royal Gramma, 2 false percs., Coral Beauty and a cleaner shrimp. My royal gramma and female clown are bullying the hawkfish quite a bit. Its been less than 48hrs so far. Should I just give it some time or should I be...

I put Chaeto in my refugium about 3-4 weeks ago. It doesnt seem to be growing too much and its definitely night in a real tight ball either. Actually wasnt when I bought it either. It gets about 14 hours of light a day and I try to flip it a few times a week as its not tumbling. Everytime I flip...

Looking to buy some chaeto from someone in the Central NJ area. Cant find any at local fish stores anywhere. Will also pay for shipping if someone is not in NJ area. Thanks.

Just swapped out my wet/dry filter for a sump/refugium. Everything went well except I cant seem to quiet the water flowing into the sump. I tried putting the outlet deeper, above water, etc. All very loud. Wondering if anyone has any ideas and would something like this work?

Was just wondering if there are any small peaceful schooling fish that would do well in a 75 gallon fowlr. I like the green chromis but they do seem to get bigger than I would want in a 75 gallon. I like to keep smaller fish to give them plenty of room. Any ideas? Currently have a firefish...

Just wanted to share some pics of my newly started 75 Gallon FOWLR. Only have 2 clowns and a cuc consisting of 2 fighting conch, some nassarius snails, Cerith snails, and an emerald crab (who is camera shy). I have a Royal Gramma and Blue Neon Goby in QT right now. Should be adding them next...

I recently finished my cycle of my 75 gallon saltwater tank. I used a wet/dry filter to start the cycle. My reasoning for this was because of the fact I used mainly Lace Rock for my setup and just a small amount of live rock. I figured it would get the cycle going quicker. It may have been a...

Its a terrible picture taken on my phone but I hope someone can make out what it looks like. It is basically a redish brown hair like algae I guess. The tank is 5 1/2 weeks old. Unfortunately the algae or whatever it is came with the live rock. Stupid me should have cleaned it off before putting...

In my current setup I have bio-balls in my first section of my sump then I have my skimmer and finally my return pump. I found a little 5 gallon eclipse laying around in my garage and I was wondering it it would be possible to attach that to my existing sump and use it as a refugium with some...

Cycling my tank with a raw shrimp and I was just wondering how long it usually take sfor the shrimp to start decaying? Been about 5 days and there is still no ammonia readings.
