I got a problem with my setup. I got a 90gal. tank and i built my stand myself.I got a reefmaster sump/refugium filter system with a hobs? overflow box. I set it up in my garage for a week so i could test the stand and plumb in my filter system. I turned on the filter pump to get things going...

Does anybody have an opinion on the nova pro extreme, 48inch 6x54 watt lighting? I was going to get the 8 bulb version but, am learning you get better lighting with the 6 bulb due to the individual reflectors, which the 8 bulb doesnt have. I am putting it on my 90 gal., and i wanted some corals...

I know algae blooms come from a variety of things, so the process of elimination is what you do. On my tank it is coming down to nitrates....I think. I got new bulbs, cleaned my filter, and replaced the sponges, good water flow. I have no phosphates, but i am seeing 10 to 15ppm on nitrates. So...

I read somewhere on here you can put a sheet of 1 inch.thick styrofoam between your tank and the stand to help keep your tank level. Has anyone ever heard of this? I am trying to find info. about this.

I want to set a 90 gal. in my bedroom, which is upstairs, and was wandering how to know if your floor is strong enough. My floor joists look like 2x8, or 10, and it looks like the tank would be setting on a header. I know this aint a saltwater question, but it is a tank through the floor...

How are copepods an different pods born? Larvae, eggs, or what. I found a bunch of little tiny black bugs crawling around in my tank, just in one area though.

I was thinking about using real ocean for my new 90gal., but aint sure where to get it from.

I have 3 turbo snails as i had a green hair algae problem. I replaced my light bulbs, since my phosphates-0,nitrates-0, and water flow wasnt the problem the bulbs were the only thing left. Now i dont have any algae, i aint sure if the snails are getting any food. They seem to be more active...

I have these little green balls growing on my LR. They just showed up and now there seems to be alot more of them showing up. Does anybody know what they are? The lfs doesent know what they are. Any ideas?

The other day i went to the lfs to get premixed water for a pwc. I got 5# of LR also. I put the cured rock and the water into my tank and turned off the lights for the night. The next day my tank was cloudy and the corals(2) were not open. I checked the water parameters and all checked out...

I got a bubble(tip) anenomy(not real sure if the name is right) for my clown fish the other day. I put it in the tank a few hours later he moved himself upside down in a tunnel ceiling and has been there for two days. I am new to salt water (2 months) and probably have no buisness owning one...
