    Light good for 20 long reef?

    That is really my only concern. Even turned way down will it be too bright? Would there be a better alternative while staying with led? This would be my first salt water tank. I know I want corals but will be starting with some of the easier ones but I want to keep my options open for down the...

    Light good for 20 long reef?

    Been thinking about setting up a 20 long reef tank. Would def. like to do led without spending a fortune. Would one of these work well on a 20 long? Would it cover the whole length of the tank? How high would I want to mount above the water line? And sure I would want to run it dimmed quite a...

    Intake & Spray Bar Placement

    I asked this a while back and I got mixed answers but what made the most sense to me was to have both on the same side. Otherwise you are spraying your clean filtered water directly toward the intake. One member was telling me that he has seen fluidized testing that showed having the intake and...

    Acei and kribensis love?

    Pretty much what I thought. I've been watching the 2acei like a hawk making sure the don't start to terrorize the tank. So far they seem pretty mellow. The one is just hanging out with my kribensis. Sharing the same coconut cave.

    Acei and kribensis love?

    K someone gave me 2 yellow tailed acei. I won't be keeping them but he was going to flush them. So I put them in one of my tanks. I have a female kribensis in the tank. After a little while one of the acei and my krib were doing what looked exactly like the little mating dance that my pair of...

    Growing HC?

    Will I have any luck growing it? I have a 20 long with a planted+ fixture. Will be running DIY co2 (can't afford pressurized).

    Canister filter recommendation

    You can always adjust the angle of the spraybar if you have too much flow. Point it more toward the surface or something so it's not shooting straight across the length of the tank

    Canister filter recommendation

    It says 264 gph but I really do to think its that much. Especially if you cram it full of media. I think it's perfect in my 20Long. And like brookster said. You can drill out the holes in the spray bar or even add a few holes to reduce flow if it's too much for your liking.

    Canister filter recommendation

    I just got the sunsun 302 for under $50 off amazon. And it would have been even cheaper but I chose the option of getting it with all the filter media. I love this filter. As quiet as they get and is keeping my tank crystal clear.

    Dont want weight from stones breaking my tank!

    Is my tank not good for a mbuna tank because of footprint or volume?

    Dont want weight from stones breaking my tank!

    Thank you. Where would I get that stuff. And do I just lay it in the bottom and cover with sand?

    Dont want weight from stones breaking my tank!

    I'm thinking about switching my 46 gallon bow-front glass tank to a mbuna tank. My concern is the weight of a bunch of rocks could break the bottom glass of my tank. Any suggestions or methods of doing this without a disaster

    Canister filter intake and spraybar location?

    Was there supposed to be something here?

    Canister filter intake and spraybar location?

    Would love to see it if you do find it!

    Canister filter intake and spraybar location?

    This is exactly why I asked. Seems like having them on opposite sides of the tank you would be shooting your water straight back to the filter intake creating a large under circulated space under the spray bar
