I wish my clownfish would host something other then a empty clam shell haha

Cool! Ill leave it alone. My 125 looks empty with just 2 pieces in there right now lol. Thanks for the info!

Did you mean Xenia? I does kinda look like that. Are they a problem?

I was thinking that, but I've never seen a feather duster like that, and I don't see the tube the worm would be in

So I bought my first 2 pieces of coral for my 125 this weekend. I bought coralRX and followed instructions. Now the coralRX did get everything off the coral, but didnt kill anything. I found a bristleworm, some kind of star, a few white bugs, and a big brown one. Nothing was dead, but they did...

So I finally got everything I needed to install them. Here is what I did. They are fully adjustable left to right, front to back.

After playing around with my tank for a while, I figured out why the pipes were screwed up. The bulk heads on the sump were way too tight and pushed up the pipes. I loosened the bulk heads up and everything dropped down to where it was supposed to be. I was FREAKIN all day, but everything...

Ill have to look at this when I get back from work

I thought that being able to control the inlets and returns I'd be able to get a full syphon. I also don't want the inlets to run the full 1200gph, so I thought if I put some ball valves on there I'd be able to control everything better. I'm gonna see if I have room to cut the pipe when I get...

I have 2 overflows on the back wall. one overflow goes straight down to the protein skimmer. the other one is split with a T. one side goes to the refugium, the other is sent over to the protein skimmer. I attached a pic of one of my drain pipes. It goes a little uphill before the last...

Not that I can remember, ill try it today and see what I get

I usually check before water changes and I tend to do them when I first turn on my lights or shortly after.

I'm currently using reef crystals. Should I try an An other mix or something else!

I'm doing all that now and it's not helping that's why I'm posting

wow I didn't think this was such a complicated topic. I'm usually testing right as the lights turn on or right before a water change. Like I said I'm not real worried about it now, but all I have left with my 125 is hanging the lights. I want to get everything under control from day 1. I...

Yeah? I haven't seen that, but that's interesting. I know I have low calc now in the biocube, alk and mag I'm not sure. Some of the empty shells in the tank are disintegrating, so without even testing I know I'm low. I'm not too worried about it because my 125 will be up this weekend so ill...

I have the return pointed straight up at the surface, I always have.

Yeah right now it's a 29 biocube, but I keep the back hatch and the feeder door open all the time. I hope to finish setting up my 125 this week. I have a 8" canopy but it has a open back. Is the semi closed top my problem?

My ph is 7.8 and I am looking into a easy way to keep it around 8.2-8.4. How can I go about raising it and keeping it at a higher point? I don't have any corals at this point, but that will change very soon. Would kalkwasser be the best way as of now?

Idk man it could be because of so many things. Your water source could have silicates, could be flow, your photo period could be to long, or a few other things. You need to change something, clean it out, and see if it comes back.

How's your flow? I get detritus buildup in low flow areas of my tank, it looks identical to that.

Looks like you got some bubble algae there

Yeah, I guess ill see how it goes when they get here Monday. I bought the canopy so I'm gonna use it. Hopefully it looks ok...

I am real close to filling up my 125 long tank. The last thing I need is the lighting, and everything will be here Friday. My only concern is if I bought enough fixtures. Right now I planned on mounting 3 parallel with the tank. The problem comes in where my canopy is real short (I only have...

How are you measuring your specific gravity? That's a huge difference..
