I decided to convert my 33L quarentine tank into a full reef tank. It has an AC 50 power filter and a hydor 425 power head. Any suggestions for placement of the power filter/power heads/heater etc from expirience? To answer a question before it's asked....no, not exposed to copper.

So I've got one tank in hypo (4 fish) and now I'm doing another with cupramine for 5 fish. Any comments or suggestions would be welcome; Tank is a 33Long with AC 50 power filter containing LR rubble and seeded filter floss. I have several pieces of PVC and aquarium rock. A hydor nano ph at the...

Any ideas? It's getting worse each day....

So, in my QT right now is my hippo tang, 2 OC clowns and a neon goby. They've been in hypo for 6 weeks now due to ich and are looking great. Meanwhile in my big tank, my longnose butterfly now has ich (never in contact with the fish in QT tank). So I'm treating with ich attack (LFS...

I'm experiencing a temp change from around 77 to 84 daily in my reef tank. I'm troubleshooting it now and believe it's the proximity of my LED light (it 2080) to the tank. It sits about 6" above the tank. Although there isn't a great deal of heat under it (hand test) the temp is high when it's...

Just unpacked and mounted a new it2080 from evergrow. Simple to mount and simple to set up. It easily covers my 48" tank. Will be transferring my corals soon and can't wait to see it then.

This morning I noticed my Cardinal had part of his tail fin missing. No idea how, he's in a Fowlr with a OC clown, a starry blenny and a coral banded shrimp ( prime suspect)....any ideas?

Ok it's been awhile since I started a tank........ I've started up a 110g with a 20g sump (will have Seachem Matrix, LR rubble, LS, chaeto, and skimmer)......I've added new water, new live sand (Caribsea), 30 lbs of cured LR and 40 lbs of base rock......just did a WT and I'm 0 for ammonia...

Any inside tips and tricks for care of a hippo tang? Interested in opinions from those that have expirience with them.

So I'm moving up from 3 nano's to a 110 gal. So I have some questions.... - do you use egg crate on the bottom under the live sand? If yes, why? - are 2x korilias 1050's sufficient? - in sump skimmer recommendations? Here is my stocking list; Lawnmower Blenny Flame Angelfish One Spot...

So after returning from a week vacation (tanks were maintained by LFS guy), one of my 16g has an outbreak of cyano and the other has serious dinoflagellates. I hit the google and plan to attack the dino by sand siphon, new chem-pure elite, remove CuC and 48 hr blackout. Ill get some red slime...

Mini cycle? I moved an established tank, added 50% new water and tested, all parameters good. I added a fish after a couple days. A few weeks later added 2 more (3 fish total+CUC and corals). Now 2 days later I've got a spike in ammonia, nitrates and nitrites. I did remove 2 snails that didn't...

So, in my LFS the other day and was influenced into picking up a red scooter dragonet.....I was interested in them some time ago but not enough to do full research which is normally what I do. Staff was very encouraging and reassured me it would be great. Well....after a lot google and blog...

I've read several posts on this topic but my situation seems to be a bit different, maybe even easier. I've taken some LR and sand from my 16 gal to start a pico tank and now I'd like to add a pound or so to fill up the space. I'm hoping to get "cured" rock from the LFS and be able to just add...

Here is a very small creature, about 1/4" from tip to tip......5 legs, blue and green color......ideas?

If I used LR and LS from my current tank to start a pico would it shorten/eliminate the cycle time?

It seems my OC clowns are hosting my torch coral.

I found this guy in a cave in my LR yesterday, could it be responsible for the untimely demise of my fire shrimp? He's about 3-4 inches.

Where should I have the water level on my Nuvo 16? Just above the filter screens? An inch from the top? Just wondering where others keep it.
