price wise there is a big difference depending on how big you go. Skimmers are the biggest price, along with sand live rock and lights. Ive spent probably 200 just on rock, another 125 on sand, and 180 on a skimmer. the lights were 375 that I got. However a cheap PC light would be around $60+.

No worries, any advice is always welcome. I never planned on getting an anemone so soon. Definitely one of those things I was iffy about. The anemone never got chopped up actually. His jelly bottom got sucked into the grill of the intake (koralia) and never actually touched the rotor itself. Im...

Well sad news. Was downstairs for a while (hour maybe) come up and I find my anemone inside my power head. Not the tentacles though, the actual bottom but sucked up pretty well. I feel horrible for the little guy. Looks like I won't be attempting one of these guys for a long time. Possibly when...

He wants only fish and rock from what his post says. Again it is doable. Taking the long route of using base rock and allowing it to mature to grow the required bacteria will save you plenty in itself.

I have no must to keep this coral. It is very beautiful however I do not want to keep a coral which has a 90% chance to die after 12 months. Doesn't seem right to me. It is a metallic green goniopora. I just found the bag for it.

Now that you have mentioned that I looked it up online and can see that it is hard to keep. Unfortunately that is :(

So a few updates. I added another coral, and I didn't get the name of it. Go figure, I seem to have this problem lol. After watching it for a while, my emerald crab went over towards it and sure enough grabbed little pieces off the corals. Calming myself down I simply tossed him in a bag...

Inside walls or Outside walls?

What protein skimmer if you dont mind me asking?

ready it about 7 times haha :)

SO after the unfortunate loss of my Gold headed sleeper Goby I am looking into engineer Gobies. Anyone have any experience with these? I haven't really payed to much attention to them, however after looking into them more I think they are quite the interesting type. (for those who don't know...

Interesting she said it brings it to life. Which is by far not true at all. I have had my tank for almost two months, and I have Coraline algae showing up. No need for purple up in my opinion.

I would agree with leaving the lights on longer. Is this really an attempt of your brother messing with you or actually trying to save your corals? I mean even if your lights are on, I don't see it doing much harm.

They have some one putting together a rather large tank on reef central. The tank is actually stressing a I beam. The tank your planning is probably 3x that. The crazy.

Thanks. Price isnt really bothering me.

Unfortunately with the way my rock is positioned at the moment I am kind of limited on positioning. I do like its current position so I think that's what I will do. Any specific epoxy I need to look for? Can't wait to find a 90g w/ overflow tank. Bah!

I by far agree with melosu58. There are a lot of possibilities :D

So I have A few select corals, and one of the corals is rather on a small piece of a rock. I keep having the issue of my emerald crab grabbing pieces off the rock and knocking it over onto the sand. Which can't be good. Is there any solution to this? The other two corals I have are bigger...

Either you have a blockage or your pump is going bad. Did you buy union connections? If you cant solve this issue sticking something down the pipe, your going to have to end up makin a slight mess and cutting it. Got a ball valve or any other connectors?

I You said your using rock. Do you have any sand? and I wouldn't know anyone using plants in their fuge unless they consider macro algae such as chaeto plants. My advice would be to have sand, rock, and chaeto in the fuge.

If you use glass, care. Don't be like me an cut yourself :p

Im guessing money is no object here?

The goal would be to keep everything hidden yes :) Usually this is done under the tank in an aquarium stand. A lot of people use sumps in order to hide equipment, and for it to be a sort of filtration unit. However as far as these systems go, I do not know. Sorry :( If you ever decide to buy...

In your sump you have a refugium correct? May I ask what you have in there? If you have room and have not done so yet, you could add a macro algae called chaetomorpha. This algae will eat up excess nutrients and grows rapidly from lights. This sits in your fuge out of sight of the main tank...

Im not sure how much those systems cost, but from what I have seen they are quite expensive. Ever thought about buying the things seperate? Tank, stand, filtration system?
