Well that is a good price point. This will encourage more people in to this hobby. A lot of time fancy names like mp 40, reflo etc gives an impression that they are very costly. By the way the led lighting like hat kessil and likes will cost you another 800 - 1000. Sky

I have a Quick question after reading the whole thread. You started this thread saying you want to do this whole project without costing too much money and you started by spending $800 for the tank and stand. So now how it costed you with everything you did in this project? Thanks Sky

Hi all, I have a 47 gallon mixed fish reef tank. 5 fishes in total with 50 pounds of live rock and 30 pounds of live sand. I used to have a bunch of hermit crabs and snails. Overtime their population dwindled and now looking to beef up their counts. What do you think what should be the...

My lights are on 12 hours a day@ 70% intensity. I have orbit marine pro led (48 inch). Over the weekend I did a manual cleanup of sand bed, picking up as much as I could. I am posting some of the pictures of the algae so that you guys can see what I have in my tank. I will also start doing...

Yes I have close to 30 pounds of live sand and 50 pounds of live rock in the system so I think I am covered there but alot of people are suggesting to get a skimmer. I on the other hand say that since my system is only 50 gallon I can get away by doing a little more frequent water changes. What...

Thanks to all of you. I had been doing a 10% change every two weeks. I will increase to weekly with some big changes right away. Now let me get started on it. I also feel my LFS was trying to sell me more live stock which I was hesitant to add. Thanks for all the good advice.

I have nuisance Algae growth on my sand bed. Its hair Algae. I have been trying several methods to control it but with little success. I got the water tested at my local LFS but everything came out normal. My LFS has suggested to get either a lawn mower blenny or a kole tang. What do you guys...

Right on.. Couldn't agree more. LFS need to understand most people who visit them already know a lot about the hobby and they should n't try to skim occasional hobbyist.

Thank you guys for the help. I knew I will get right answers from the forum. It reinforces the idea to always research and ask questions on the forum before committing the money. Thank you again.

Hello all, Some background info. I have a 47 gallon FOWLR setup with sand bed. My filtration is 50 lbs of live rock and a canister filter (no Sump or fuge). Also no skimmer. It's a very low tech system with no dosing or anything. I am now thinking of having some simple Corals like mushrooms...

Hello All, I need help in understanding why I have lost few fishes. Ihad a pair of clown and they were very happy in my 46 gallon tank which was 2 months old. Then I added 3 chromis pretty big size ones. Just in a few days my clows were dead. After a few more days 2 out of my 3 chromis dead. I...

well, sad news. I lost my goby yesterday and also my pair of clowns. I managed to take one out in a QT but it did not survive. I later took the dead fish to my LFS to see if he could explain but according to my LFS the fish does not look to have anything on its skin. So that is a mystery...

MY goby is hiding under the rocks so very hard to take any pictures. The few moments it came out, it looks like the slime coat on its body is less and the skin looks a little brittle. Could be marine velvet.

Hello guys, I need some urgent help to know what to do. First my tank info 45 gallon FOLR with 50 lbs of live rock and 20 lbs of live sand. 2 clownfish 4 chromis 1 gold headed iamond goby. peppermint shrimp snails crabs tank is little over 2 months. Just today I lost one of my clownfish for...

Well I am using ro water from the beginning. The issue is here I want to keep dosing elements to the minimum. Hence if brightwell salt provides most of the elements and keep them at the right values then its one less thing for me to worry about. Sent from my ME302C using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi all, I went to my lfs and he recommended Neo Marine from Brightwell over Instant Ocean's Reef Crystal. He states that Brightwell offer better alkalinity where as IO reef crystal is more alkaline. I don't know whether he is right or wrong. So what do you guys think. I have not bought the salt...

The problem with this light is that it is a pendant style and I can't use it. I have to buy something that can sit either on my existing hood or on aquarium rim. I am looking into orbit marine lights. Though they are not as powerful and many users here do not have a good opinion about it, I...

Here a 6 oz is around 7 dollars. And. I don't know how to make my own. Any ideas? Sent from my ME302C using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Use of flakes is just to save cost. Frozen food is expensive and if I can avoid it, I will be able to put some money towards a decent lighting. I m looking to get some softies corals down the road. Sent from my ME302C using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thank you BigRed. I will wait for a week or so to see if my fish start taking flakes. BTW I am giving them marine flakes with garlic Omega1 brand). After that I wil ltry to add some chromis to see if that can prompt them to start eating. Will try frozen last since my lfs told me that these...
