Its overstocked yes. but its not do able.. your fish are relativly small and if your not losing any then your ok for now. but i would look into a Refugium or look into building one. it will help to naturally combat the nitrites and nitrates in your aquarium to help to prevent horable water...

Look up ''120 watt aquarium LED'' on Ebay and you will find a lot of LED's that are between $100-$200 and I am using these kind of LED's now and my corals are doing well. I switched from 175 watt Metal halaides and Im glad i did.

Did you buy the doors premade?

Let me know if you have any questions.

stack them... you can see how i have mine in one of my videos on youtube titled Algae feeding for salt water aquarium its 1:38 long. i hope this helps.

Black and white ocellaris Clownfish sometimes look like a regualr Ocellaris clownfish when they are very young but as they grow they will turn solid black and white. my femail has turned completly black and white while the male black and white clownfish that I have still has a tad of orange...

I thought i would share this little bit of information about the temp in my aquarium. I realized that I was going to start having a tempature problem when I bought my 3 175w metal halides for my 125 gal aquarium so I started to look at chillers but then I was even more shocked at how much they...

Just sharing knowledge is all. everyone has there own way of doing things. that's the great thing about this hobby. there are a million ways to run a system. You could be in this hobby for 10 years and learn something new every day.

this is true. i normally buy dry sand or aragonite and mix a little live sand with it. over time the sand bed will develop more of its narual bacteria and its cheaper than buying a crap load of live sand.

As a direct way to kill off th ick you are rght. but the garlic Is believed to raise the ammune system of the fish there for helping the fish to fight the ick off. cant be proven if the galic is the actual reason your fish got rid of ick but im sure it helps in some small way. As for UV lights...

live sand and live rock would be perfect. but you dont need any special lighting to keep the bacteria alive on the live rock or the live sand. regular lighting will do fine. although some people do get the lights for coral just because it makes the tank so vibrent and makes everything stand out...

yea I would say a 29 gallon.. that would probably be a little better. you can add fish with them but not many because of such a small tank. this was my ol 29 gallon tank

Holy Crap ''200gallon reef" you have a lot of systems! care to share some photos of them? I live in Ft myers and I am in Soutwest marine aquarium society. i was thinking of joining tampas forum also.. the events these groups do every month are very rewarding for the hobbyiest.

That is true but you can't treat ick in a DT if you have live rock and live sand. Moat treatments kill off a lot of beneficial bacteria creating a hole new problem. I think i want a QT tank with copper treatment for all new fish.. Once the ick is completely gone from my tank I never want it again

that looks very good! Ive always thought its better to overkill then underkill.. you dont want 55 gallons or 90 gal sitting on the floor in your house. I made a stand and canopy for my 125 and it is a few hundred dollars cheaper to build it your self wrather than buy one.

I made a youtube video to make it a little easier to explain the stand and canopy then I added pics of the Refugium.. :popcorn: Custom Aquarium Stand and Canopy - YouTube the refugium I just made is made out of a 55 gal aquarium. i got 6 sheets of glass cut for under $30 and bam.. new...

I would personally get a different pump. but if you did decide to get a bigger pump and split the supply then make sure you add a check vavle that goes to your nano. you dont want all that pressure going to such a small tank.

thank you.. Thats completly understandable. I bet it will come out awesome. I wish I could get rid of more eyes sores out of my tank but I only have a supply, return, and 2 powerheads. so there isnt much of anything more I can take out of the main tank. I did have my skimmer in the main tank. I...

i dont know about anyone else but i hate trying to catch all my fish lol. its never easy and i destroy everything. But I was never into UV sterilizers untill now. I looked up easier methods of getting rid of ick and i seen a lot on UV sterilizers. so i went out and boutght one. within a week all...

If you have all that in your tank already then i don't see any problem adding more.. That's my opinion.. Remember Im impatient but i have been pretty successful so far :)

I heard that works well ao i just started using it and i think its going to become my norm.

Go on liveaquaria.com they have almost everything you will need. Im running a 125 reef with a 55 gal refugium and i have a hang on the back over flow with a 1 inch drain and a 1/2 inch supply with a return pump (can't remember the name) with a flow of a little over 310gph.

I had an ick problem in my reef. it took me a few months but I finally kicked the ick so to speak with a UV light and i added garliq and liquid vitamen to my fishes diet. worked very well. i have a better description of what i was dealing with in my blog.. check it out.. The Future of Aquarium...

I started a blog of my progress with my new 125 gal aquarium along with a lot of my home made projects with this aquarium.. it serves as kind of a time line for when i completed a certain piece of the tank from building a new stand and canopy to constructing a brand new refugium. check it out...

the Refugium will help a lot with your over all water qualty. i cant say for sure if thats what is affecting your clown but it could be a contributing factor. Also, try Frozen brine shrimp. its in little blocks that i normally thaw out in a cup of aquarium water and then poor it in the tank...
