I upgraded lighting on my display tank and my prop tank. On my 95g tank I was using a ESU 2x150w HQI retro w/ 2 96w pc's. I was using XM 20k's and have now switched to two Sunlight Supply Lumen Max reflectors with XM 10k's(out of phoenix 14k's but I'll switch in a few weeks) Was going to use...

150w 10K vs. 250w 20K Up until this morning I was pretty much set on a couple of 10K Sm or 12K Reeflux 150W HQI bulbs in Luman Max 3 reflectors. I was going to use T5 actinics to help get the 15k-20k look. I was thinking this morning of going with 250w HQI's instead and then just using a...

I have a 2" hippo tang in QT for almost a week now. He's been eating since the day after he was introduced. Feeding him frozen cyclops mixed with mysis soaked in selcon. He also has been nibbling on Nori. He's been acting surprisingly well, out swimming around, not skittish like most hippo's...

Setting up a new tank and am tired of sand but dont' know if I want to go Starboard barebottom, basically due to finding the material and having it cute for my 95 wave tank. I also like the apperance of a substarte so I"m thinking a 1/4-1/2" layer of cc that I could just stir up every once in a...

Selling my 200g Oceanic Reef Ready setup. It was running less than 6 months and is in great condition. Everything that is in the picture is included, I'll do my best to explain everything. There are no scratches, chips etc as far as I can tell in the main tank. It measures 84x24x25. The tank has...

I just got the largest HOB fuge I could find. It is 24.5x4.5x12 and will be on my 72g reef tank. The tank only has a 1-2" sand bed. I know I want to grow some macro in the fuge but would a DSB in that small of a fuge help or just tank up valuable space?

I'm breaking down my 200g reef and selling it. I"m going to transfer some of the nice pieces to a 72 bowfront and keep that as my only tank. Anyway.... I know I have a few crabs left that I can never seem to catch. Is carbonated SW dips still the prefered method to remove pests? I want to...

Well everything has seemed to level out after my move and now the next problem.....montipora eating nuid's. I've noticed a couple small bare spots on a couple of my caps and on my superman danae. Last night I examined the tank after lights out and found them all over these corals as well as...

I'd like to make my own website, mainly just simple picstures and link about my aquariums etc.. I'm not sure how to go about doing there or where ot host it. I have microsoft frontpage and can pretty much figure it out but don't know if that's the best or easiest way to go about doing this. I...

Well it's pretty much been nothing but problems since I moved my 110g to my 200g. I lost 2 acro's to RTN about a week after the move and have lost one since with 2 more on the way out. The two on the way out start of dieing at the base and just spreading up. I have no idea what is going wrong...

I've been dosing DT's for a while but am curious as to how much and how often you people does this? Do you follow the directions or add some other amount? I realize it will depend on what is in your tank etc... so my tank is a 200g reef w/ 7 sm/med clams about 20 hard corals and 30 or so softies...

Just found my spare RO membrane today and the bag had a little hole in it, is it ruined?

I"m looking for colofrul rare corals and/or clams. Let me know what you got!! I am especially interested in SPS and zoos but am willing to anything that is not typical LFS variety. Would also love if anybody is selling any frag packs or several small colony pieces

I got a great deal on a dosing pump and couldn't pass it up. Should I try to build a cheap DIY kalk reactor or can I just use a 5g bucket w/ a lid and fill it up every other day or so? BTW, this will be dosing my 110g for a week then my 200g until I can finish building my CA reactor. Thanks

What does everybody think? Any suggestions would be great!! I will probably add a second drain from my tank to the sump when I drill my tank this weekend. Skimmer will be in the center section. https://cms.psu.edu/AngelUploads/Files/cab313/sump-fuge.jpg

I"m going to be using 2 Little giant 4MDQX-SC pumps that will be going up 5ft max. What size bulkheads and pvc should i run from my sump to the tank?

In the process of setting up my 200g reef I decided to drill a couple holes in my 56g refugium. I used the diamond dremel bits and it was much easier than I thought. The bits were around $9 each and it took one to the the holes started and a second to finish them so for less than $20 I got two...

Finally setting up my 200g tank!!! I'll need some massive ca/alk dosing equipment. Will have around 350-400lbs or lr for now, 10 clams, 20 smaller-medium size hard corals, 20 or so softies. I've been dripping 2 gallons of kalk water a day with decent sucess but don't know what to do on the...

Well my plague of bad luck with fish continues...... some of you may have read my post a few weeks back bout getting a vlamingi tang. Well I had in in a 25-30g rubbermaid contanter. I had a small whisper filter and a small marineland filter on the container. The biowheel was froma cycled...

A month or so back I finally found an structurial engineer to come look at my house. He was charging $80 and hour and said if the main support couldn't hold the weight we'd discuss other option to reinforce it such as using floor jacks or even replacing main support beams. After several weeks...
