Hi everybody! I'm starting a 210G predator tank and will have tons of live rock and a bare bottom. I'm so used to PC lighting but am frustrated at how often you have to change bulbs. Do you guys think these LED's from marinedepot.com would do the job? No corals, just want nice healthy live rock...

Hi everyone! So I'm going to be moving and won't be able to keep my tank up and running for a couple years. I don't want to sell everything off as I have too much invested in the tank & will eventually want to start it back up once the new house is built. I have over 150 lbs of live rock and...

Hi everyone! So I am considering an Imperator Angel. Have a 140 and 60 sump. There is a small blonde naso tang in the tank & that's it. Plenty of LR & LS. I know these fish get big and some people say that they need a 240+ gal tank and that they should be kept alone or only with one or two...

Here is my stocking list idea. Went through the forums/compatibility lists... but couldn't resist adding my own to AA. 140 six foot tank w/60 sump. 120+/- LR. 2.5" LS, 2 skimmers, UV, refugium w/chaeto & mangroves, chiller. Ideal list: Koran Angel (only fish in the tank right now) Snowflake...

So I just got a jbj 1/4 chiller for my 140+60 sump. The guy I bought it from said it would be a good idea to get a controller to hook up a heater to it. Is it really necessary to get a controller? Was thinking I would set my heater to 76F and the chiller to 78F. Would think that would be ok to...

Hi everyone! So I'm trying to get over an earlier issue that I had with using the wrong kind of silicone (GE II) and not letting it cure long enough. One fish that survived doesn't look too good: a Koran Angel. Looks like blotchy skin with discoloration. He remains active, is eating normally...

Hi everyone! Just a quick question about live rock placement. I notice that my fish mostly hide out in the back of my tank as my live rock is placed mostly along the center of the tank with about 4" behind my "wall". I've considered moving my rock all the way back to the point where it touches...

So I am setting up my first 20L nano tank. Was thinking of ideas to somehow connect this to my main tank (140) with an overflow box. I could run the overflow box once a week for a couple hours to mix the water with the main. (unfortunately I'm unable to permanently attach the two tanks as one as...

Hello everyone! I'm in the planning stages to set up an aggressive tank (140 + 60 sump) for the first time. I've only really had peaceful fish that were easy to feed flakes, pellets, frozen cubes of brine, etc. I was interested in getting a porcupine puffer, volitan lionfish, Niger/Clown...

This has been on my mind for a bit... I'm using an old (but still cranking) Euro Reef CS5-2 skimmer with a Sedra 3500 pump. It says it's rated for 75 gal. Well, this was ok when I had a 60 gal, but I now have a 140 with that 60 as a sump. I was going to upgrade and saw the ASM G2 which says...

Hi everyone! This is a new thread linked to my last one. I believe we narrowed it down to poisoning from silicone I used to seal my sump/overflow (GE Silicone II Window & Door). I only let it cure for 24 hours and think this may have been the cause for my fish to die within a short 12-20 hour...

"Cobwebs" seen on fish, now everything dead?? (issue with silicone?) So. Yesterday was a bad day. Just when you thought you had everything under control... This last weekend I upgraded from a 125 to a 140 gal that was much better imo. The 125 was up and running for a year since I upgraded from...

Well... I have a rock of colony polyps that were once BRIGHT yellow, and now they're turning pretty dark. (like a dark colored mustard). They're about at the top middle of my tank and have medium flow. Water conditions: 0/0/0, PH at 8.1, Alk at 3.5 meq/L, CA at 390 ppm. Temp at 80F, sg at...

Hey everyone!! Well... it's time to mix up new SW. Figured I'd test out what was in my bucket and compare to local water. Tap came out at 175ppm. I have a 22 gal bucket of RO/DI water that I use for my auto-topoff. Just for fun, I tested the water in there... and it was 298ppm!? Didn't think...

Hey everyone! :D I'm about to purchase a pumping xenia for my tank... it has 4 stalks on it (sp?) for about $40. One thing I noticed is the piece of rock it's on has some reddish hairy algae. Not sure if this is cyano, or what. But the hair is about 1/4 inch tall and just chills there in a...

So I've been getting several pm's lately asking about my stand and canopy. Yes, I did make it... just never documented it. I dug around and found some old pics of it before it was finished!! :D Now... just be aware that additional hardware was added afterwards to increase strength. For the...

:jump: So let's play the stupidest moment ever game in saltwater keeping!!! :jump: Could be accidents, blatant mistakes, catastrophes... whatever. I know it's not the most cheerful posting, but I know that we are all human, and even the reef-geeks out there make mistakes. :lol: So... after...

Hey guys! :D I'm going to be out this weekend for my girlfriend's college graduation, and need some feeding advice. I'll be out Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday morning. I feed every morning around 6:30 am before work, so friday's feeding is covered. I have my lights on a timer, and should be...

My new green fluorescent shroom & hairy shroom. :D Not bad for $14 and $19. Found a nice LFS that has (2) 1000 gal tanks with nothing but frags/corals, etc. Bought a 200 gal bucket worth of Oceanic Sea Salt for $48 and 3 turbo snails for $2.99 8O Also noticed... coralline is starting to grow...

Hey everyone! :D Well, after waiting more than a month with my new Yellow Polyps addition, I also put in a Niiiice looking firefish goby. Acclimated him over 2.5 hours with my drip bucket, and all was well. He went into my tank and was swimming around the bottom of the tank. I went to bed...

Hey everyone! Well, after testing my water again with 80 deg F, 0/0/0 and 3.5 alk/8.2 PH, I decided to take a friend on his offer for a small colony of yellow polyps. So far they are doing great! All of them are open and dangling in the current. :D On the picture listed as "mystery" there...

Hey guys! :popcorn: This time I didn't do a full write up merely because of the thousands of canopy types and configurations. However, hopefully these few pics will show how mine are situated and the end result on how they look. :D I used (4) 80mm fans purchased from www.compusa.com...

Well... here's the second part to my overhaul. :D I purchased an 8 LED diy kit from www.ledwerx.com for $15 total. He has a store on ebay too... but I figured I would just get them direct. The kit comes with 9 LEDs (in case you mess up one), 9 resistors, 6' of wire, and an AC adaptor! Here's how...

Does anyone have any Chaeto they could spare? Any other macros would be welcomed too! :D I'd trust any of you guys over ebay any day. Thanks!!
