I just got home after a week and my lights were on a timer while i was gone. I have 3x 250W MH, the center one seems to be working fine, the outer two are arcing right across the "void" from filament to filament, but not lighting up. The is a fairly loud buzzing as well. Are my bulbs blown? I...

Hi folks! I just upgraded my lights from 2x 175W Mh 20k to 3x 250W MH 10k and, 96 W Actinic. My tank is 135G is a hair under 2' deep. I read a long time ago about "phasing" the lights in so acclimitize the corals, but the specific details elude my memory. For now, I'm just shortening...

I've been having a problem with sand becoming stirred up to the point of digging right down to the glass bottom. I have 2 Aquaclear 110's hanging in the tank, and one pumping up from the sump. I have tried every variation with the flow directions, but it never helps. The output hangs roughly...

I was curious about the return and pumping out from a fuge. Will the gravity feed from the main tank equal the pumping upwards from the fuge? I'd be using the same size tubing both directions. Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon! I noticed in most peoples tank pictures their mushrooms are quite large and "full". Mine, on the other hand are small(ish) and not as eye catching. They seem healthy, they are spreading like weeds and the colours are bright. I have some burgandy/purple ones, bright green (...

Good evening! I have a piece of live rock thats being overrun with red mushrooms, about 10 on a 4" chunk. I would like to transfer some of them around my tank, is there a procedure to do this? My tank is doing quite well now, I have coralline popping up everywhere and I just installed a...

Thanks for all the help! Ive browsed this site for hours :D This is my tank...it's a beginning, but seems to be a good one. I have a ton of things I want to get. As far as I can tell everything seems happy and healthy. My next upgrade will be some MH lights and possibly some more LR for...

Good day folks 8) I picked up a Coralife Superskimmer 225 and I can't seem to get rid of all the microbubbles that are flooding my tank. Will these hurt the fish? And...... does anyone know how to get rid of them? I added some floss to the outflow canister and raised it a bit above the...

I have 2 Marine-glo Actinic, 1 Sun-glo 4200K, and 1 Aqua-glo 18000K 32" lights to choose from. Im currently using the 2 Marine glo. I plan on having fish, LR,and some sort of soft coral ( polyps etc) until I get better lighting. For my plans, which 2 would you pick?

Hi folks! I finally got a box of live rock in my new 77gal SW tank. Some of it was covered with nice purple and red coralline algae ( im assuming from what I read here). My problem is my blue legged hermits are eating the red algae with a gusto and leaving it bone white. Is there a way to...

I'm positive I'm being paranoid :D I just got a Hagen 77 gallon kit, which will be a saltwater reef and fish in due course. My question is...how much weight can the stands take? I was fine with it until it turned out to be a " build it yourself type". I guess I don't put much faith in my...

First off, nice to meet you all, it's my first post here! I just started a new saltwater tank ( my first), its somewhere around 30-35gallons. I figured I would start small before going all out :lol: My problem is my one clownfish has been in the top of a corner, head down for a few days...
