Thanks for the advice I think I am going to go with a yellow, kole, and powder brown tang. And yes my auto spell corrected the naso tang in my previous post. I really would like to add a bright blue colored fish to the mix. Doesn't have to be a tang. Any suggestions? Wrasses?

No split end it's pinkish in color can't seem to get a good pic

Hi a couple of months ago I bought a 34 gallon rsm and like everyone said I ended up getting a larger tank 125 gallons which has been cycling for about 3 and a half weeks now. I have been researching different tangs for a while and keep finding different information on each tang. I could...

Can someone tell me what this is?

Is that a uv sterilizer in the return chamber?

Great thanks! Any reason you are not using sand or filter sock?

You can have the skimmer in the same section of the refugium? Can I see a pic? I was originally looking on Craig's list but I don't have the resources of picking the tank up and transporting it. I could get the truck just not the manpower.

Hi I bought a rsm 130d a couple months ago and I'm hooked as everyone said I want a bigger tank. My local LFS gave me a price for a 90 gallon with hood and storage cabinet below (oak) led lighting with timers. Rs 200 sump. Protein skimmer for 150 gallon tank. Heater, 2 water movers 1400 gph...

Did you get a chance to install that controller yet? Curious to know how complicated that install is?

Hi just got a new frogspawn frag today it opened up with great bright green color then the base started turning purple and now it seems to be turning brown. 0 ammonia 0 nitrite .75 nitrate .08 phosphates . Any ideas why? Also t5 stock lighting for redsea max.

To be completely honest I'm not sure what the controller does? I'm reading it controls dawn to dusk? Does that mean it controls the dimmers to slowly increase the light until your max? And then slowly back down instead of using the stock timer to just turn on at a specific time. Thanks for the...

Thanks for the info, I was talking to someone else who went with Steve's LEDs and I think I'm going that way. Did you install a controller with the LEDs?

I was thinking of purchasing the retrofit led kit from Steve's led or modular led.com for my rsm 130d. But I can't seem to find any picks with either system does anyone have pics? Or suggestions not really feeling the rapids because they require you to do in house soldering and such. Thanks in...
