    Sump or wet/ dry

    Refug for sure... Go to this guys store on eBay "clevecollectibles" He sells sumps. I ordered mine with him, If you need a certain size sump shoot him a message if you go that route. Took about 2 weeks from paid to my tank. nicely made well worth the money.

    API Nitrate Test Kit

    After a few testings ive found that I cant blame the API Test kit, My nitrates are just that dang high, I did get my No3 PO4 Test kit the other day. Heres a little review. The kit like all red sea pro test kits comes with a nice case for the items needed, cost is a little on the high end side...

    overflow box

    Just a side note unplug my return everyday during feeding time, never once had a problem with the Aqua lifter self prime. With the pump, make sure you keep it clean I had hair algae get sucked inside the aqualifter pump once. Had to remove casing and self pump it till the hair algae popped...

    overflow box

    600 GPH CPR Overflow w/ aqualifter pump. Running for about a year no problems at all, Mag 9.5 Return little overkill but it was on sale at the time for like 15 bucks less then the norm. Main reason i went with the stronger up is in case I decided to split it off for any reason. I went with the...

    API Nitrate Test Kit

    First I wish to apologize for my foul language. I honestly like red sea test kit, for KH, CA, and MG. Very easy to test and honestly Im not sure how accurate they are, the only way to tell really would be a hanna checker. Testing against other test kits I dont think youll get it spot on. In...

    API Nitrate Test Kit

    So After a 15g Water change and 3 Tests Later, 2 on the tank and one of the RODI Water Ive come to a conclusion... ****API Nitrate Test kits... Just saying. My RODI Water is coming out around 20-40PPM, and my Tank water Is around the same... After the Second tank water test, I took notice to the...

    New 55 Gallon Seahorse Tank

    If your doing horses, make sure you use RODI water and set up a auto top off system. My 55G reef loses around a 1/2 to a Gal of water a day.

    API Nitrate Test Kit

    Few weeks ago ive had to remove a evil evil dotty back from my tank, Sadly it near pulled all the rock out of my tank. Ive been testing my water and my nitrates are well over the recommended, Like hitting the 160 mark. Ive tested it again and still no changes. So i starting to think it maybe a...

    Amazing or agitating?

    This gives me hope, I been stopping myself from adding another pair of clowns to my 55g. I might try someday when ive got a spare tank incase things go wrong.

    Refractometer submerged...

    Sorry to hear that bud, you sound like my wife with that quote. Thats how she sees the tank when I tell her we need this, this and that. At least its only 30 bucks.

    Future of Sandshifting Star

    About a year old, have to remove the rock to get the fish out, I was going to switch out the stand but decided to keep the old one there instead. I think im going to just leave the sand bed alone. Besides I just put a new sump under the tank, looks 100% better.

    Future of Sandshifting Star

    Here in a few days to a week, im doing a major tank over haul. I pretty much top to bottom. One think I seem to forget about was my Sand Shifting starfish. The whole tank is being drain, all the rock removed, all fish going into a QT tub. I was wanting to replace the sand, but the star comes...

    55gl reef

    Also if you want to really look into it, look up the company history. If they gone out of business cause tank durability thats a red flag. Then again im sure some people have 20+ year old Living reefs which would be a older tank still.

    55gl reef

    Id say if anything they have made the glass thinner. Ive got a old tank, funny cause it was made in 1987 same age as me. The only difference ive noticed was the older tanks dont have a bottom center brace, new ones do. Might just be cause its cheaper then making 2 different parts IMO. I didnt...
