This site helped me a lot over the last 2 years of my 90 gal reef tank but what I learned is follow advice but learn yourself too ! I use 2 do a 20 percent water change weekly I was tiered of the work so I was going to sell my $5000 tank after a year my wife was yelling at me saying I told u so...

Everyone tells me 2 feed 3 times a week that's why I have red algae I can't do that to my fish in the ocean they pick all day long

Tanks been up since sept I see him pick at rocks but I see no pods but he swims all over tank and looks happy. But he will not go near any food I put in tank it don't even interest him!! I tried to suck out the red algae but it will not go up the syphon it's to heavy so when I do my water change...

I have a cube 2 but it's a 90 gal cube but the 23in stand is a killer so I had a lfs make me a custom sump that works out perfectly

Carey starting to get some red algae to now on the sand bed and 2 rocks I'm a major over feeder because I always worry the slower fish is not eating and I have had my mandarin for 3 months and never seen him eat !! My water par is all 0 no nitrate and phos is 0.04 my LEDs are powerful but they...

Oversize is fine but not to big a 120 is good I have the swc 160 you have a 40 gal tank might be 2 big there is a thing of two clean of a tank !!! And don't get a hob skimmer if u have a sump they work but u always have 2 worry about overflow !! A in sump no worries at all !! And believe me I...

Swc 120 is a amazing skimmer major skim mate and super quiet (silent) price is not bad

Now u need a boat

They don't need a fan !!!

Swc protine skimmer top in my books , make a custom sump that fits your needs is the way to go

I had 4 of them with my oscars about 6 years ago they are legal in NYC I thought ??? Any way u can buy anything in NYC anyway they are cool fish but they carpet surf all the time major jumpers but hardy as hell u can't kill them they would be out of my tank 4 hours at a time

Torch and a orange plate !! And burn that background lol some green and red mushrooms bring nice color to the tank 2 and they are easy and with the blue lights on they POP

Bi color blennys are great fish but they are known to eat shrimp of that's a problem for u !! In a big tank u will get away with one but if your tank is small he will most likely bother your shrimp !! And they do get nasty 2

You should feed your fish more than just flakes !!! I don't care what type of fish !! Flakes are fine In between real food

Don't forget the vortecs are non directional. They can only be flat on the wall so if you have a show tank like me they can only be on the back wall facing forward with the korillas you can put them on a angle so they work best for me vortec has to correct there design and I would buy 2 mp60...

I made that mistake shopping on dicks sporting goods website was not good lol

All depends on the room u have !! And if you don't know there are 2 maxi jet 1200 out there one is $20 and made in china and junk the other one is around $60 and better made try bulk reef supply they carry both !! Rule of thumb u get what u pay for a $20 pump is a $20 pump

Glass holes .com has all the stuff u need cheap

He will be fine in a 45 gal better then him dying in the lfs no ones buying a 1 eye Willie fish !!!! I love them but they are not reef safe or I would have 1

Eco tec not worth the money it's nice to only have a head in the tank but not at that rip off price !! The korillas are awsome but the way they rate the gph is confusing a 750 is 10 times weaker than my 800gph return pump I should have gotten the 1150 at least they rate a circulation pump...

Mj 1200 are complete junk they are noisy and run hot invest in a few more $ and get a better pump anything better than a mj

No ones way is wrong in this hobby everyone does things different

I never acclimate I float bag for water temp to even out then I net them right to the tank in 20 years never lost a fish that way !! I time I tryed the drip acclimate and lost both fish the temp in the bucket was so cold after a hour !! And my corals I don't even float right in the tank

Drill baby drill

Good skimmer,fluval g6 and a Berlin style sump forget the fuge it's not needed !! Tryed many for years ended up with this combo works for me !! Very happy with the g6 if you can afford a $500 canister filter
