Buy the SWC 180 cone skimmer. If you stock lightly you can get away with the 160. Awesome skimmers. And very very quiet. Wont ever buy another brand skimmer.

You dont need to buy live rock. Its a rip off at $6-$13 a pound. If your tank is cycled just throw in dry rock. The bacteria will colonize in it and it will become live.

First off. If your tank is just cycled for 5 days your pod population isnt anything and your dragonet will die. Unless you get him to eat frozen which is no easy task. 2nd off you need a lot more rock, not live rock, just rock. It will become live after its in there for a while. And the fish you...

My favorite fish in the world. I want a discus tank so bad and I just setup a 120 gallon saltwater. But maybe down the road lol.

Anthias, some tangs.

Yea I know that. Im saying with the fish I want to add.

Gotcha. Thanks for the help. But im not so sure on the twice a week feeding. That seems kinda skimpy. And for the fast metabolism fish I wish to put in here I dont think that will cut it.

Its a 120 gallon, I have 2 maroon clownfish, a green chromis and 2 pajama cardinals in there. Its like a green mat algae. It looks like green cyano. I feed mysis mixed with flakes once a day.

Im wondering how often I should be changing out my gfo. I dont know how fast it gets exhausted.

My lights are on 6 hours a day and there is no windows in the room

I have green algae everywhere in my tank and I dont know why. This was the main reason I quit the hobby before. I use rodi water, I have changed the bulbs, I have a clean up crew, nitrates and phosphates read 0, and im running a gfo reactor! Im seriously frustrated and getting ready to throw a...

Theres so many lights to decide on. Im wishing we could see par readings on each of these lights to easily narrow it down for me.

And these are under the reef breeders? They look pretty sweet. Im still deciding. I have about $800 to go with for a 120 gallon.

Swc 160 cone skimmer. Model below mine. He has a 90 gallon.

Its sand.

Yes the taotronics, and his water parameters are perfect. Ive asked him about it before and he said his nitrates hang out around 5-10. And thats about it.

Im iffy on these lights. I want to pull the trigger and buy them. But in a month or two I dont want to regret it and see my corals not growing. My buddy has them and loves them. But again, he has trouble growing zoas near the sandbed. Nothing is less than halfway up the tank and his corals dont...

You forgot to mention its only 40 watts. I hope this is going on a 10 gallon tank or else you just wasted money.

Anthias are amazing fish. I have some lined up to throw in my tank. The colors are unbelievable.

I hate 6 lines. Just my opinion. I think theyre little ugly fish lol. And theyre bullies. I used to have one and it killed my firefish. That was a fun time trying to catch him.

Algae blennys are awesome. They arent really sought after that much as you said but they are still sweet!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Haha well thats a bummer. They are sweet looking and interesting to watch. I guess if you have their eating habits down and a lid youll be good to go!

I agree 100%. I eventually want one of them also but down the road. Thats exactly why I want my pods to repopulate. I wont put anything in that eats them. Plus theyre in my fuge as of now. But they are beautiful fish. There are just some people out there that shouldnt be allowed to buy them lol.

Haha no its cool dude. But thanks for the tips on the rock work. My buddy just had one die because it didnt want to eat anything. Thats why I was wondering how it ate.
