I recently got back into Saltwater by setting up a JBJ 28g Nano, but that only reinvigorated my passion for the hobby so I'm about to purchase a 90G setup. I haven't actually purchased anything yet, so I'm open to suggestions. Deep Blue Professional 90R with corner overflow Deep Blue...

I have recently decided to return to reef keeping after getting rid of my 75g setup approximately 4 years ago due to getting married and moving. I decided to get back into the hobby by starting small with the JBJ 28g Nano.. I know that the CF lighting will limit me to soft corals, but that is...

My tank has been setup for 7 or 8 months abd I first noticed this hitchhiker a couple of months ago. I saw him again for the first time in a while less than a week ago and he has gotten huge. He is about the size of a dollar coin and his claws are pretty big. I hope he won't hurt anything in...

I have had my 75 bow setup since January. My Fluval 404 filter just busted. I performed maintance on the filter every 3 weeks and took care of all of the media very well so its malfunctioning is inexcusable. I attempted to go filterless for 2 weeks, but my tank doesn't smell to great despite...

I think I remember reading that these tangs will change color depending on the mood they are in. Whenever I am doing any work inside my QT tank, my Naso starts to get white around the belly and will even get white spots on his body. His fins also stand up. I also notice that when I turn the...

Ok I'm not saying I did this, but I know someone who did. Let's say everytime he goes into his lfs he feels like buying something. Ok he has a 75 gallon tank with a royal gramma basslet, yellow watchman goby, perc. clown, yellow tang, 2 pep shrimp, about 7 turbo snails, 10 nas. snails, and 10...

OK thanks to the help of people on this board I have learned a lot about UV sterilizers and will be purchasing one soon. I am set on getting a coralife turbo twist, but I'm not sure how I will set it up. I originally planned on getting the 12x 36 watt unit and running it inline with the...

I am limited in space in my 75 gal tank and was thinking about running a UV sterilizer to help me deal with algae and disease breakout. I don't want to clutter the tank with another powerhead so I was thinking about running the UV inline with the intake tube of my fluval 404. The output of the...

Just got my first online coral order and I am a bit underwhelmed. I performed a 2 hour drip acclimation on the corals and just placed them in a few minutes ago. I realize that the corals should look better as they acclimate, but I'm not liking what I see so far. The corals seemed to be packed...

I am ready to start adding corals to my tank. My tank has been fallow for almost 3 weeks and will remain so for about another 3 weeks because of an ich outbreak. (I've learned my lesson the hard way and now have a 30 gal QT). So I just purchased some Seachem Reef advantage and Seachem reef...

Just got my lighting fixture the other night and am looking into purchasing corals. I just want to doule check, but I am assumong that I will be able to house any corals except SPS corals. For instance, I see that hammer corals have high lighting requirements, but I think that my lighting...

I have set up a 30 gal QT with a 150 watt heater, penguin 200B HOT filter, and a maxijet 600. I want to keep water quality good in the tank so I have decided to pick up a skimmer for my 30 gallon QT tank that I will be shutting off if I medicate with cupramine or any other meds. I'm not...

I set up a 30 gal QT after an ich outbreak claimed a yellow longnose and a PBT. So I set up a qt as follows: penguin 200 HOB filter, 150 watt heater, maxi jet 600 ph, bare-bottom, and 2 decorative rocks. I am wondering if I should get a small PS like a bakpak2r for this QT tank to keep water...

Last week I lost a Yellow Longnose Butterfly to Ich, but he was only in my main tank for 3 days so I decided to play things by ear before removing all my fish. Well now my Powder Blue Tang has Ich spots on him today. So this morning I took off from work, drove to my LFS and picked up a 30 gal...

Usually I notice that my PBT's body is very smooth, but today I noticed that the sides of his body have some undulations in them. Its not really bumps and he doesn't have white spots. I'm really not sure what it is. He has been in my main tank for about a month and has been doing very well...

OK so I have set up a 75 gallon tank about two months ago and am starting to plan my lighting setup for when I get corals. I am interested in possibly acquiring a candy cane or trumpet coral, a button polyp, and a shroom in the future and was wondering about the lighting neccessity these corals...

I have a 75 gallon tank that previously had a PBT and a false perc. clown living happily together. I just added a yellow longnose butterfly and a coral beauty. As soo as I dropped in the butterfly, the PBT turned a deep blue and started swarming him immediately. The PBT is about 4" and the...

My 75 gal tank has been setup for about 6 weeks. I set it up and did a waterchange / topoffs using the Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Tap Water Filter. I did some research and its needless to say that I quickly found out this water filter doesn't remove TDS sufficiently enough to support...

I think I might have made somewhat of an impulse buy at my LFS today. They had Powder Blue Tangs on sale for $34.99 and just got a shipment of them when I got to my lfs. I thought this was a great deal since the same fish costs $60 at liveaquaria plus shipping. My tank has cycled and hs...

Ok so I have an 80 gal bowfront tank that has been running for a week. I have a little more than 50 lbs. of live rock from lfs and 20 lbs live sand mixed with 40 lbs aragonite sand. I am using the Seachem marine basic test and Oceanic Salt. This is my logbook of tests: 1/19/05 pH 8.2...

I posted this in another thread without receiving a concrete answer and I would like to know a definite answer before spending $230 on this thing. I am very interested in the AquaC Remora Pro as a hang on protein skimmer, but I am not sure if I will be able to use it. My tank has some extra...
