I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the Sequence Reeflo Dart Model? http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~MM1136.html I am starting to put together a 180 reef with a 55 sump and trying to find a reliable pump to move my water. So if anyone has first hand knowledge of this...

I just got a 14g Bio Cube also and had that same concern. (Now with the $35 mail in rebate, it's a tough bargain to pass up) With a large amount of live rock going into the tank itself, I was thinking of leaving the bio balls inside. But maybe I will go with the rubble. imo a percula would...

Thanks for the response. I will look for a much smaller species that is available or just scrap the idea and search for a much larger tank.

I am looking for some opinions on setting up a shark tank. I have the opportunity to get a 180g 24x24x72 reef tank very cheap. I have read what I can find about the sharks that are available from petsolutions and Fosters&Smith and I see my tank meets the minimum requirements. I have a few...

125gal atm I am working on a inwall setup that should be up and running within the next year - upwards around 220gal - I figure by the time the fish start to get too big for the 125 I will have the larger one ready. I also have a 92gal reef tank that is almost habitable. The 125 currently...

I am reviewing my choices for my FOWLR tank - most if not all my picks ask for squid, krill, clams and hard shelled shrimp. Now where would one get hard shelled shrimp? Are these the shrimp at the supermarket that are not peeled? I currently use frozen brine and frozen squid - but neither of...

I just added water to my latest tank. I used a similar sump setup only having the inflow coming into a seperate chamber that held my heater and protein skimmer - then a baffle, my fuge, then a baffle into a live rock rubble area with my return pump. I also have the intake area with the protein...

Nutrient removal would be the primary goal. So 2 to 3" sand bed with few porous chunks of LR - and like you said, try a range of macro to see what works

I was looking for some input. I have set up a 92 corner tank with a 20gal sump/refugium underneath. Minus the space for the return pump and protein skimmer, I have roughly 9 to 10 gallons of refugium space. I will put live rock rubble in with the return pump and skimmer sections. I do have...

I do not clean the back of my 125gal - I let the coraline take over - so I have rock stacked up against it - I did avoid the sides and front to be able to clean easily - Be careful stacking - you would be surprised what a few hermits or especially an urchin can move I know many use a certain...

On the topic of the Washington DC aquarium - my wife and I stopped in at what was named the National Aquarium in downtown DC - down near the White House/Washington Monument/Museum area - it was in a basement of a large building - not quite what I was expecting - its the only one I had heard of...

I am glueing my baffles into my sump and I was curious if there is a specific type of silicon to use. The only LFS that would have the "official" aquarium silicon is about an hour away - if I can save the trip and just head to my local Lowe's that would be ideal So anyone with suggestions...

Thats the unit that I have been thinking about getting. So someone has purchased from these guys and it has been a good deal??

yeah - thats a good deal on those snails - I got 50 a few weeks ago If I go with the live rock, do I also need all live sand or can I mix? Thanks again for the suggestions - gonna figure on lion, eel, yellow tang and one more - any suggestions?

Well I got the tank. 92 gal corner with drilled returns and skimmer, sump and stand My concerns are still with the cleanup of the tank - the sand bed needing sifted and such. I will keep doing my research -

my green star polyps were iffy when I introduced them also - I moved them and now they are doing much better - I moved them about 6 inches closer to the lights - I believe I have the same light as you do - which puts them about 5 inches from the top of the water - 10 inches from light (approx)...

In my current 125 setup I used crushed coral - but I would definitely go with sand this time around. I figured the live rock would come into it - and that doesnt bother me, except dollar wise, because I enjoy picking out nice pieces and creating a realistic scene. I have 3 decent shops around...

I have the opportunity to obtain a 92 gal drilled corner tank with sump and skimmer. I currently have a 125 reef tank loaded with corals and reef friendly tankmates. So I understand the mechanics of cleanup and maintenance. This 92 gal would be a fish only tank - looking at puffer, lion...

I have had a green star polyp colony now for over 7 months. When I got the colony it all opened and did well - then shortly after it seemed to almost die off. A week later it began to open back up and then flourished - It repeated this cycle once more and when it returned, it has more than...

French Angel I came face to face with one while snorkeling and it was amazing - at least a foot long I don't have one but look forward to finding a large enough tank

I currently have one sand sifter star - I have 125g - I have doz+ hermits and 6+ snails and 2+ urchins Can I have more than one star? The tank is almost 2 years old so I wonder if there would be enough nutrients to sustain more than one star. Since I have put the first star in my substrate...

Mine has yet to nibble on anything (at least when I am watching) and I have had him for over a year. Actually he is quite timid - bullied by my flame angel who is a third his size

Buy a tang and a blenny for the hair algae - that combo worked really well for me (specifically a scopas tang and bi-color blenny) as far as the red algae goes, I have yet to find a solution

I had a 4x3 sized rock full of green star polyps shrink then totally disappear for more than a week. Then about 10 days ago they started coming back and the whole rock has recovered well. I was also dealing with cyano

I wanted to get some input on adding a 2nd tang to my 125g - I currently have a Scopas tang who is very pleasant and gets along with everything else I have. Currently there is a Achilles Tang at the LFS and I would love to add him to my tank. I have looked around the web for some more detailed...
