I have a 150 standard and just got a 72" lighting fixture for it. The light has (3) 175watt 20K MH, and (2) 196watt blue actinic bulbs in it. The total watt count is 785, this put me at 5.23 watts/gallon. Is this sufficient lighting to house whatever softies/corrals I want? Temp: Since I...

I just upgraded my 150's lights from 192 watt PC 50/50s, up to a 72" (3) 175watt MH and (2) 196 watt actinic blues. This is quite a bit more light than I had before, my question is....do I need to do a light acclimation? Will the coralline on the rocks get burnt by the sudden increase in...

How do RO/DI systems connect to the faucet? I live in a student rental house that we are moving out of in August. I was wondering how easily a RO/DI unit can attach to the existing faucet, are there plumbing changes that need to be made? thanks Jason

My lion isn't eating for some reason, he used to eat whole pieces of krill with no problem now he just kind of pushes them around with his "nose" till they fall to the bottom. I've tried krill, silversides, mysis shrimp and brine shrimp and i've tried soaked in garlic and not soaked in garlic...

how do you feed mysis shrimp? I got some the other day and it is just a big solid block. I'm thinking I need to cube it but where do i go from there? do i just drop it in and let if defrost? help please. Jason

I purchased a 16oz package of frozen brine shrimp and upon opening it i noticed that it is just one massive block of brown mass. How do i feed this to the fish? do i just cube it up and drop a cube in the tank? I tried thawing it but that just made a smelly mess. help please Jason

I put in my first 20 turbo snails today to help get rid of the brown algea and about 10 of them are gathered up in the top left corner of the tank. When I put them in the tank I distributed them evenly.....so what gives?? thanks jason

here is a quick pic of new lighting vs old lighting. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/stradt14/detail?.dir=19ac&.dnm=efcb.jpg&.src=ph quite a difference

quick and easy, do they require the crazy lighting that corral and other inverts need? I kind of like how they look and was wondering if i can i get by with my simple FOWLR lighting? thanks J

I've been researching fish on different online ordering sites. My question is what does it mean when they give you locations next to the fish....ex: Indo Pacific or Africa. They are listed as different "part" numbers too. Do the different locations make them require different tank parameters...

I have a 150 FOWLR that has 120lbs of LR.com rock and 60 of HIrocks.com rock in it. as for ligthing I have two coral life 6000K 50/50 Actinic bulbs, is this enough to support my tank? I'm clueless on lighting. thanks Jason

I got 80 lbs from lr.com about 4 days ago then another 40lbs showed up today, I placed the new stuff in teh tank and noticed a HUGE difference in color between the two shipments of rock, the new stuff was bright purple and the old stuff was still purple-ish but nowhere near as bright. It looked...

I just ordered 80lbs of live rock from LR.com and 60 lbs from hirocks.com, I tested my ammonia levels and they are at a .8, I'm hoping this is my peak. My question is will adding the live rock in with such a high ammonia level harm the rock or the little critters that come with it? I am...

OK specs first, 150 gallon, wet/dry I am just setting this thing up i premixed three bags of salt with the water (each bag said it was good for 50 gallons. I started cycling the tank about a week ago and i went to test the SG of the water and its crazy high it is reading at 1.0275....where...

I'm using dead shrimp to start my cycling process.....question i have is how do I know when the bacteria is beginning to grow? will I see any changes in the tank or will it be strictly through testing for ammonia? thanks for helping a newbie. Jason

Hi, I'm jason and this is my first post, I just picked up a 150 with all the hardware (or so I THINK) and I just have a few questions about setting up the tank. 1) what kind of water do you use to mix with the salt? I've heard I can use tap water and I've also heard that I have to use...
