I am interested in converting my 90gallon fowlr tank into potentially a reef tank. I have been shopping around and have become thoroughly confused. Would 260watts of PL lighting work? What about 216watts on a quad ho T5s? What about LEDs, i saw one that is 3300 lumens (46 daylights and 8...

I broke down a tank for a friend who was thinking about setting it up in a couple weeks in a different location. I kept the live rock in a tub with a heater and powerhead. She changed her mind, and said she was going to freshwater. The tub went outside, and the pump and heater came out. A month...

Any opinions on putting a fowlr tank in a beauty salon. I am friends with the owner and she wants to have one for the customers to enjoy. They cut and style hair, do nails, tanning, etc. just wondering if I am opening a can of worms installing and maintaining this with the possibility of...

Ok. My friend has a 55 gallon tank in her business that I helped her set up. She cycled with damsels, and now all seems good. She has started adding some fish to the fowlr tank, pearl scale butt, maroon clown, pink tail trigger, and a dwarf lion. Parameters seem good, anf I have been increasing...

I have a new 55 gallon fowlr tank that I am considering converting to a reef tank. Right now I just have 4 ft strip light on top. It runs two fluorescent tubes. Would it be enough light if I added another strip like this, or do i need a completely different lighting system for this tank? Thanks...

I have a 90 gallin fowlr with 100+ lbs of live rock and plenty if swimming space. I have a pair of perc clowns, a bangaii cardinal, 3 blue-green chromis, lawnmower blennie, and a royal gramma. Everyone us doing fine, but they are all small fish, the tank lacks a fish of size. I eventually would...

I have a 90 gallon fowlr tank. About a month or so back, I added two bangaii cardinals. Not long after adding them, one of them died (never seemed to eat). The other one is doing great now. I would love to add another one. Would this be a recipe for disaster? Would the one I have not accept the...

Okay, so I added two bangaii cardinals to my 90 gallon fowlr tank about a week and a half ago. Both seemed pretty skittish at first, but lately the larger one reallt seems to be coming around. Neither of them has waten any flake food, so I got some frozen brine shrimp. The larger cardinal go...

I recently setup a 90 gallon fowlr tank. Went through the cycling process and over the past few wks i have added a small pair of false clowns, small pair of bangaii cardinals and a peppermint shrimp. I woke up this morning to find the tank quite cloudy. I am not sure what the culprit is. I last...

Just finished cycling my 90 gallin fowlr tank. Plan on adding a fish soon. Not exactly sure what I will exactly stock, probably false clowns, gramma or a dotty back, fire fish, maybe a watchman goby, maybe a lawnmower blenny, and I would love a flame angel. My questions are around a clean up...

Just starting the new 90 gal sw tank (new to me). Filled it with water, added salt (monday night). Turned on two power heads, and I apparently have 90 gallons of milk. Now its wednesday and it is still cloudy. Apparently I added the salt too fast. I have read that this is most likely "calcium...

Ok, I am new to the sitee, and have been keeping fish for 20 yrs. I am finally making the leap from fresh to salt and have some questions about possibly building a diy refugium out of one our two aquaclear 500s that I have lasting around. I am planning a 90 gallon fowlr tank. Will run a couple...
