So, a quick question on water storage. Would there be any problems if I used glass aquariums for water storing? Like for RO/DI then another as saltwater storage? I've seen posts and videos of people using those food grade barrels for water storage only to have TDS after several years of use...

So, I need new filter socks. I have been debating going mesh as I have heard they are easier to clean and keep their micron rating better then the felt socks. So if the micron rating is the same as a felt sock, would it make a difference? A 100 micron mesh sock should filter as good as a 100...

I'm most concerned with the white patch on the skeleton. It is spreading, should I be concerned? Sent from my SM-N900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So I'm thinking of revamping my 120 reef tank. The tank is not drilled, but will be by the end of this revamp. Currently I have a sump and the plumbing is a 1" flexible drain hose to a Trigger Systems Ruby 36 Elite. Return pump is a Sicce 5 with 3/4" PVC. I am upgrading the pump to a Jebao...

Is there such a thing as too much GAC? I have a 120 and I use a reactor with a lot of GAC. I'm not seeing clearer water. I have a lot of particulate floating around and it's driving me nuts!! I was thinking of replacing my sand with a coarser type of sand in hopes that it would cut down some of...

Ok, so I got a Brute dark grey garbage can for my new salt water storage container. My trouble is when I mix the water for say longer than 3 days, it starts to smell bad and looks like it grows algae. It is dark and the lid is on tight, so no light is getting in. I use a MAG 9.5 or 3 Korelia 105...

So thinking about getting one. Will they work for saltwater?

Here's my tank as of just now. To me it feels kinda blah. What should I add to it for more color, more pop. Something that catches your eye. I want to start some SPS, but I'm having trouble keeping ph up. It is currently at 7.83. I'm keeping zoas, mushrooms, a hammer and a Duncan, they are...

Just chillin

How can I get my zoos to " stand up "? Currently they all are stuck flat to their rocks. I've seen pictures of others and at some lfs where they have stalks like flowers. I want to clip some pieces off and glue them to another rock, but I can't get under them because they are so close to the...

So, I understand that with florescent lights we would first turn on the actinics then the whites to simulate sunrise and sunset. With dimmable leds would it not be possible just to ramp them up all at once since they can go from 0 to 100%? Slowly of course like a natural sunrise or sunset.

So I picked up a Duncan 2 weeks ago. A nice 2 head piece. Since then it has sprouted 2 new heads that have gotten a good size. Is it possible that they grow that fast? Actually i just found a 3rd head that is just sprouting. So 3 new heads in 2 weeks? Sorry its a crappy picture from my...

Hey guys I've got a question. I've got 4 1040 Koralia Evolutions that run on a wave maker and I am having trouble with them. I've had 2 of the little rubber bumpers in the front of the cage break off. It's that little thing that keeps the blades from spinning backwards. Well, with that thing...

Vacationing in Virginia with family. They took us to the Nauticus. Its a place that exhibits allot of sea faring stuff and Navy stuff and ecological stuff. They have a small shark pool with young sharks in it. Here's some picks of the pool and the filtration system they use.

I picked these up from my lfs. They were pieces that were floating around the bottom of their coral tank. I picked up each one for $10. Thanks guys!

Hello all!! So I am interested in a Mandarin fish. I've had my tank about a year now, and got a really good population of pods. My current bio load is 1 Sailfin Tang, 2 Ocellaris clowns, 2 Green chromis, 1 yellow tail, and a Scooter blenny. I also have a GBTA, a small colony of yellow polyps, 4...

Is there a difference between the two? Can I not use a Bio pellet reactor as a media reactor and vice versa? Just put different media in it?

These are green eyed girls from reefs2go. Do they look healthy? They have been in about 3 weeks now.

OK so I'm looking at those Chinese led lights. The newer 212 watt version. The ones I was looking at has options as to the ratio of blue to white less. They have 2:1 blue lights, 2:1 white and a 1:1 option. How would the ratio affect a tank? Which ratio would be better for growing corals and...

Is this the dreaded Aiptasia? It's my first one. Came in on a coral frag from Reefs 2 go. So lemon juice or boiling water in a syringe into the center of the beast, yes?

Do corals need to be QT'd?

I do regular water changes and all the other husbandry that needs to be done. I have a question about the sandbed. Should I be doing any kinda of maintenence on that? I have yet to do anything with it and my tank has been up since December. Any suggestions?

I want to add some color to my tank. Can a coral beauty, rock beauty, and a flame angel coexist in a 120 fowlr tank?

Ok, So I ordered me a Trigger Systems Ruby 36 Elite. I want opinoins on what should go in the refugium section. I was thinking different types of macro to help with water qaulity? I have a lil bit of Chaeto now, but what other types would be helpful? I am running timed lighting so I hope...
