There are a lot of good hang on back protein skimmers out there brand new for 200 or used for 50. Something like a cpr rumpus would be perfectb and handle all filter work

I don't use heaters in any small tank. Including my sps heavy Solana. I have had to many heaters malfunction and stay on. Unless you have it plugged into a controller its not worth the risk. If you really think you must have a heater then use the smallest one you can find so when (not if) it...

What sort of tank do you have? How big? How much sand do you want to add? Is there sand in it now, and if so how deep? If no sand now, then I would add it all at once. It will make a big cloudy tank but it will only be once and then done. I think that is less stressful to anything in the...

It looks good. I see you playing with the aqua scape a lot, you know you don't have to have all that rock in there, and you can always hit a few pieces with a hammer and change their shape. When I did my 120 gallon tank I only put about 60 lbs of rock in it and it looked awesome. I could post...

Those gobies are neat and one of my favorite fish but like others here have said they are the if not the toughest sifter. Putting in live pods at this point probably won't do the trick unless you get lucky. These fish need a very large and very seasoned sand bed normally. I'm talking about a...

I thought I would formally introduce myself. I browse around a few different reef forums similar to this one and was doing a google search on something last night when I ran into this forum, so I thought what the heck maybe I'll have a look around, and maybe I can learn something, and possibly...

I would look into some wrasses. There are a lot of gorgeous ones out there. Nice trio of flasher wrasses. Like a male and two females will get you all the flashing from the make courting the females. or a nice pair of some exotic fairy wrasses if you have the budget. Wrasses are great fish...

Be careful with the brittle star fish. They are known fish hunters and predatory. The green ones are really sketchy, some I have heard to as green death haha. They do hunt and eat fish. If you keep it well fed though it may be OK but not sure if you want to risk a pricey fish on a likely 10...

Corals won't eat phytofeast. Phyto will feed the micro fauna in your tank (things like pods and worms etc) which those in turn will feed your corals from propagating eating and defecating and living/dieing . Corals are more meat eaters and phyto is for vegetarians is the easiest way to explain...

I'm new to this forum, but not new to reefing so I will try to help you a bit here, my first post haha! Use as much as you like, there are pros and cons to it all. My current reef tank has no sand in it (bare bottom). I have ran deep sand beds (dsb) which is about 6 inches, and then the 1-3...
