I'm following, cant wait to see how this turns out..Good Luck on the test.

Very nice. Youre going to have it overun in no time.

If it weren't for experimenting we wouldn't know how good a skimmer is for our tanks or that some lighting is better than others or how a reef tank will suck all the money from your pockets and leave you wanting more.

heres a pic of the 120gal 200lbs of LR, 200lbs of LS 4 PH's

I need to find someone in the Enid OK or surounding area that would like to purchase a 120gal complete reef setup with fish and corals, MH lights, skimmer, sump and refuge, all the other equip. plus the 55gal FOWLER with filter and skimmer, plus 150gpd R/O system. $1000 7/17-7/19 I am...

You know for someone that had the worst luck when changing tanks, you sure are having some of the best luck with your animals!

I totally understand the pain that your pocket will experience, I had no idea till I started then it was to late to give up so I had to finish ( OUCH!)

how much live rock are you planning on getting, the recommended amount is 1.5lbs per gal.

the one on ebay is the same one that I got and the skimmer is crap, you dont need the bio-balls, the pumps havent given me a problem yet but they definitly arent the best. you'll need to buy a better skimmer anyway so you might as well do that instead and spend the rest of the money on a plain...

The sand was "live sand" and with the ph's on that side of the tank I finally got them to stop blowing the sand around and the current continually sweeps the crap straight up to my overflow. also with the ph's on that side I have a strong flow on the right and a medium to low flow on the left...

I do have a phosban reactor on the tank. Everything seems right but something is still off, and as far as I have figured, it must be due to the 500W of my that I put in a mo. ago- thanks roka, and everyone else for your time and patience. Due to work, I will not get to my Pwc till tomorrow...

White Fiji sand from online. This is what it looked like the day I put it in (after it settled of course). Theres a little over 3" in there.

It took me a whole weekend to build mine, but I only have about $80 into it. I really didnt look around at plans first, the idea just popped into my head so I went and got the lumber and started building. Mines a 120gal 6' long also. I love the night lights also

I dont want to cut out the light all together because of the coral but I have cut my T5's down to 5 hrs and the MH to 3 hrs. Where else can the nutrients be coming from besides pwc and feeding? if anywhere. I will have to agree with excess nutrients since I have a heavy growth of feather...

You used to have to put film in the camera? lol Thats like driving with your feet.

Thanks all. I have tested for copper and it is 0. I have done all the before and after tests on my ro system and everything is great. I would agree with extra nutrients being the cause but I feed every 3rd day ( formula 2 pellets ) just enough till nemo stops eating. I dont feed the corals...

I'm going to answer all the questions in short sentences since I'm on my phone. Never tap water, only ro/di since day 1. 120 gal tank and 35 gal sump 200 lbs of LR. Yes I have a skimmer and it works great, pulls about 1 cup of nasty crap out a day. A,N,N tests are accurate, I have tripple...

part of mine has been floating freely from the frag for about 2 weeks now but its been doing great, the part that was still attached has started to spread so I'm just going to let mine do its own thing. but if you want you can get some CA glue and get it stuck back down again.

Thank You, I was just really concerned for my corals.

The tank is is about 2 1/2 mo. old. set up 1-29 cyled ended 2-20 added 4 corals, 2 fish 2-22 all readings have been fine since. never had any spikes, and slowly brought my nitrates down through pwc. all my readings are great, and i know im not over feeding. I had a diatom breakout during the...

What is a good CUC to get for this problem?

let the new batch of water agitate for about 24 hrs, make sure the salinity and temp are as close to the same as you can get.

I really didnt think so but it was better to ask then get in trouble. Thank You

I know these little guys dont hurt anything but when I started I had about 6 -7, now I am starting to get over run with about 40 - 50. The pic is of just 1 rock, there are 3 more like it. Is this a problem?

its been a week and all of a sudden my sand is overrun with diatoms and algea. let me give all of my specs first. amm - 0 nitrite - 0 nitrate - 5 ph - 8.2 phos - 0 temp - 79 these readings are from today and the last pwc was 1 1/2 wks ago. I run 80W total of T5's from 2 pm to 10pm and 2 250W...
