Ok, so I have not been on here in forever, lol, like years forever but I'm in need of some help with one of the tanks. My 80g IM Nuvo is the culprit right now. It is pretty shallow for an 80g tank and I have 2 Radion g2's with lens I believe over it. Mounted with ecotech full arm mounts so...

Well it has been FOREVER since I have been online here and I guess you'd say alot of transpired over the last year or so. Tanks have gone up, some have gone down, fish have passed :-( and new ones added. I'll try to give a quick rundown of each tank that is still standing. Just took a whole...

I have a 34g tank ready for a sorority of female bettas but the pH is like over 8.0!!! This cant be good, what is the best level for fresh water fish? I mostly keep salt tanks which are at 8.3 and a cihclid tank which is in the 7's so I am stumped. I dont wanna throw a bunch of fish in that...

So I cane across a new 20L locally for $8 and had a 30g tank and stand that my father in law garbage picked ( holds water and stand is in ok condition!) so I figured I'd appease my MTS and setup another tank. NOW the only question is what exactly to do with it. lol I have a hangon filter and...

Ok, so here is what's up. I have a baby naso tang in my 60g rimless currently. He started out smaller than a firefish but is now about 2 inches so I need to figure out where to put him as he is quickly outgrowing the 60g. His current tank mates are a firefish and a very recently added green...

Ok, so I have a 34g tall tank that i am planning on making a betta tank and was told that plants would be a good idea. Sooo I just got a huge box of easy to grow plants today that I purchased from a fellow forum member here. I went to add them to the substrate but they keep floating away. :-(((...

So i recently purchased a used 180g tank which is drilled with two holes on the bottom glass. The spillway, or overflow is a large piece of thick glass that is currently not attached. My question is: Should I plug the holes that are drilled or work with a regular drilled tank setup? VERY...

Have had this tang for a few months and am still uncertain as to what it is exactly. I bought it as a mustard tang but it appears darker than a typical mustard. It has the same markings, with the dots on the back end and the line behind the head.... Here are some pictures, they arent the best...

In a nutshell, I am now down to 5 tanks from a high of 9 and have always been curious about betta fish. I think after keeping all these tanks for so long I am ready to maybe, just maybe save some from poor bettas from walmart. I currently maintain about 500g of aquariums but I have room for...

So I am finally getting around to making a general all around Carey thread for all my tanks. I've been meaning to do it forever. LOL Currently I have 5 tanks up and running. Four are salt and one is an African Cichild Freshwater Tank. :-) I'm going to make a post for every tank, just took a...

My hawaiian hawk fish has developed overnight it seems, a really really bad case of popeye. Cant get a picture since he is already very camera shy lol What causes this and what can I do to help him? Looks like the one eye is about ready to pop right out, the other is popeyed as well but not...

Ok, so I have some skimmer issues. lol I have a couple tanks but would like to keep the skimmers in place on the other tanks so I can't swap skimmers around like i am used to. The 60g rimless should be going back up in a few days and the skimmer i was using, an eshopps in sump psk150 seems to...

Since I recently lost twitchy my yellow tang I have a tang position open in the 180g tank. Tankmates would be a blue hippo tang and a tomini tang, the rest of the fish in the tank are very mellow and not aggressive. I wanted to add another tang before the yellow died anyways, but now I was...

So I have lost every fish that was in my 10g tank waiting to go into the 60g. :-( First the mandarin, who I was thinking died of stress from the move. But now not so sure. Then came the clown fish, one died and the other jumped out of the tank about an hour later. The clown that died in the...

Forces have aligned in my world of fish! I sold the biocube last night and found a brand new never used 40b tank and stand on craigslist right after the guy left with the biocube. LOL It's karma I tell ya :-) Here is the new setup, currently in the garage until i move it in. First, the easy...

I have a couple of favia frags and they are encrusting the actual plug now after a few months....My question is what do I do with them now? The are on the sandbed, should I move them to a small rock? I was under the impression they needed to be on the sandbed....I've only had larger ones so I...

So I took the plunge with my new 180g build and got 3 led panels, the tao knockoff. They are dimmable as well. I installed them about 3 weeks ago and have nothing but trouble with them. The first week I had them on 50% for blues and whites and lost several corals due to frying them. Ok, my bad...

So I am ready to sell my extra tanks. I am pretty good with the asking price for my biocube setup BUT have no idea really what I want to get from the 125g. I plan on listing it on my reef club forum as well as craigslist in my two adjacent cities. here is what i am selling, please tell me if...

I am in the process of downsizing the number of tanks I have running from 9 to hopefully 4. I have been moving fish around and there are some fish that won't be suitable for the 180g or the 90g. The remaining fish are these: Mandarin yellow clown goby green clown goby pair of clowns itty bitty...

I just setup my 180g a couple weeks ago and used half instant ocean salt and half some no name salt that came with the tank. I just tested the alkalinity and it came in at a little over 12 dkh. I have not added any supplements or even purple up, nothing at all. So, why is my alk so high? That...

So I just received my 3 tao led panels today and want to get them mounted into the canopy. We were thinking of hanging them each by a hook but now I had another idea! What if I used a closet hanger pole? The 6 foot pole that holds the hangers? I could slip the hanging harness from each light to...

Sooo, I am ready right now to buy my led's for my 180g!!! I have several in my shopping cart on eBay so Ijusthave to pick one and pay! Here is my dilemma...Should I pay the $570 for 3 programmable units or get the full spectrum just dimmable ones for $389? or $418 for an american seller. The...

I need some input on possible lighting for my 180g reef. My intention is to keep mostly soft corals and some LPS. Might add some easy SPS but can easily place them higher up if needed. I was looking at 3 tao led panels but it might be a bit too much for my budget and I want to get lights over...

Would three of these be enough to light a 6 foot tank? Found a really cheap deal on two of them and I do need new led's for the 180 so I thought maybe....LOL Whatcha think guys?
