I've recently bought 40lbs of LR and put in my quarantine tank. (Which water was taken directly from my 75g) I've done a few water changes and my ammonia and nitrites are both reading 0. I've only had the rock in since last Friday, is it posibble the rock has already cycled?

I've got a 75g tank and have grown tired of going to the LFS on a weekly basis to pick up 12g of RO water. I was looking in Fosters and basically the cheapest thing I saw was a setup for about 500, I've heard people saying you can get units for 100-150, is this true? What will a higher priced...

Wondering if anyone has one? I've had mine for a few monthes and he's made best friends with my foxface. I've also got a coral beauty who seems to keep to himself. Wondering if anyone has had any experience with these guys? 75g, HOB, p.skimmer, 80lbs of LR, 40lbs base.

I've been cycling my tank for almost two weeks now and have recently gotten a ton of brown algae occuring all over my live rock (with a little bit of green as well) Is this a fairly good sign?? Also, can someone tell me what this thing may be in my rock. (It's red and it has little white tips...

My temp in my tank (75g) is constantly changing from about 82 down to 75, is there a problem with my heater?? It is rated for a 100g tank so I'm unsure if I am doing something wrong, or it's just not working right.

Ok, I've got my 75g ready to go and still haven't gotten a definite answer. (It's amazing how many different answers one can get) I've got my salt mix and will be buying about 150lbs of LR once my water is in the tank. Is it ok to use tap water and just dechlorinate it, or do I have to go...

Ok, I just got my tank (75g) and have will be ordering 160lbs of LR and got myself 3 maxijett 1200 PH. Question, can I just mix my salt with my normal tap water and let the heads mix it up or will this be bad for the LR?

Hi all, I'm wondering about the Canister Filter. I've been told by my local pet pro that this filter is the best I can get for my 75g SW, is this true?? It's going to run me alittle over 200.

When I initially set up my tank, (75g) how much live rock should I put in my tank?? Also, should I expect the live rock to die?

Hi, I'm new here and was hoping that I might get to know some of you because I'm sure I'm going to have a bunch of questions in the next few months. I've ordered a 75g tank that I'll be setting up next week. I have gotten myself a canister filter and will be going the SW route. My goal is to...
