Ok so i've got a 72 gallon bow front. for lighting I have 2x150w HQI MH and 2x96w PC. I have a mag 7 return pump, 2 maxijet 1200s, and a coralife superskimmer that runs 24/7 unless im doing a wc. My tank temperature is normally about 78-79 deg. and never gets over 82. So my question is this...

ok, so they obviously aren't reef safe, I got that part. BUT! what makes them not reef safe? is it just because they eat smaller fish and inverts or will they try to eat corals as well? Just curious.

I have a 4 stripped damsel in my tank. I have a little bit of cyano left over from my cycle (it is about the size of 2 quarters not, it's not spreading and it is receding the water is perfect in the tank) either way I noticed the day before yesterday the cyano looked like something had eaten...

I have no Idea how to tell if something is wrong with a fresh water fish, so here goes: one of my buddies has some oscars. he called me last night at like 11:00 and said one of them was laying on the bottom on his side. I have seen the fish do it before, but I didn't think anything about it...

I had a old nano reef that I am thinking about converting to fresh water and taking it to the office. the tank is a AGA 20high. I would really like something that is a little out of the norm to put into the tank. I would like something that is somewhat active, but if it is something that is...

I am in no way affiliated with reeferrocks.com, but there customer service is the best i have seen in any sort of online store. I ordered the rock yesterday. I have been emailed me 4 or 5 times asking questions about what I wanted as far as size and shape. They asked the look I was going for...

How do you make there be no dead spots when you stack the rocks right up against the back glass? Does flow still get back there? Should I even be worried about this? I am asking because when I set up my current tank, someone said something about deadspots being behind my rocks that when...

So my wife told me I could put a little pond by our front walkway and porch~! I figure it could be a 8'x8' pond maybe. I wasn't even thinking about measuring it but that's what I am thinking right now as I sit at work. It can be as deep as I need it to be, I'll just dig deeper. I have a...

This semester of school ends at the end of this month so it's almost time to get the new tank up and running(after i do all the other stuff my wife wants done to the house). So my question is this...... The new tank is a 72 gallon bow front. Currently I have 2 tanks a 10 and a 20. Both of the...

what is the minimum tank size for a Powder Blue Tang? If the minimum is more than 72 gallons, what tangs besides a Yellow would do well in a 72 gallon bowfront?

I've read a couple of places that it MAY be okay to put certain kinds of triggers in reefs.......... and thus my question arises... What make a a trigger not reef safe? Is it the fact that they'll eat smaller fish, any shrimp you have and pick off your hermits one by one, or do they pick at...

So has anyone here ever put a trigger in a reef? If so what kind? I am really thinking about putting a niger in my 72 when it gets set up.

are they any good? I can get a really good deal on a used one rated 250 gallons that I am considering putting on my 72 gallon bowfront. Are they good skimmers or not?

Ok so I am balls to the wall setting up my new 72 gallon tank. I've got 4 tanks in the amin living area of my house and my wife is about ready to kill me.... My solution, 1 bigger tank that is going to be a huge progect as it is...... So how does this sound??? The tank is a 72 gallon bowfront...

I don't want to go into a long drwnout story but I'll giv you guys the rundown and see what you think...... I want a certain look for my new tank and I can't find rock for the look. Making rocks would be a very easy solution to my problem. At the time I put the rocks into the tank, I would...

what's the deal with them? All of the sudden their are about 1,000,000 of them in my tank. nothing seems to be upset about it and everything still looks great, but aren't they supposed to be a pest? If they are pest how do you get rid of them?

I am kinda leaning toward Euro-Reef because of what I have read. I don't know though because all of my systems are skimmerless. I need to get one for a 72 gallon and I was thinking of getting one rated for a 90 gallon. Can you skim to much? I will be keeping a lot of sps. It needs to be...

Someone posted a thread about it, and I can't find it. I just got my new tank and I am trying to figure out what I am going to do for lights and a kinda want this fixture. My tank is a 72 gallon bowfront and i was just wandering how you mounted it, and how was it affecting the heat on your...

I'll make this short and sweet........ 2.5gallon tank (going to be drilled) 2.5 gallon sump with as much live rock and macro as I can fit in it. Yes or no, and if yes which one? I know this is a dumb question and the answer is going to probably be an overwhelming NO, but i figured I would...

For some reason, my tank is crawling with these little things. for the last 3 days I've probably killed about 20 a day with tweezers, but it seems like I'm not even making a dent. I have a lot of zoas in my tank so i would really like to get this under control before I loose ANY of them much...

Really I'm looking for a filter like the ones that come with the DecoArt Aquavase. I just want a really small hob filter so I can start to put together a pico for my office. Oh, and if anyone has an old aquavase setup like with the light filter and everything I might want to buy that too. just...
