    And it's FINALLY taking off! My 1st FOWLR!!! ;)

    Wow, just read your last post. they sold you used water? That is definitely no bueno. That water is the water you want to REMOVE from your tank with regular water changes. It is probably high in nitrates and low in alk/calcium. Even that water is not cycled, the beneficial bacteria is on...

    And it's FINALLY taking off! My 1st FOWLR!!! ;)

    Water can not be cycled. If the fish store is telling you otherwise, they are only trying to "sell" items to you. The cycle comes.from the bacteria that forms in the rocks. I also agree that those rocks look really dense and not very beneficial. I would replace all that rock with about 20...

    Starting New Tank today

    Agree with Carey. Check the phosphates in your tap water. The more phosphates you have, the more algae problems you will get in the future. a FOWLR system is easier than reef for sure, but honestly, in the long run, good quality water will be your best defense against a whole lot of problems...

    new tank algae?

    Oh, just to note....these tufts are mainly on the glass and overflow box, and starting to pop up on the sand, close to the glass, but none on the rocks at all.

    new tank algae?

    Hey all. My 90g has recently finished cycling and I have the normal diatoms, but I am also seeing some tufts of alage, looks like maybe brown hair alage? I used only brs reefsaver dry rock, and have slowly added a few pieces of my current live rock while moving livestock over. I have never...

    i want to start a nano tank

    I personally really like the colbalt neotherm heaters, They are a little more spendy than other heaters, but are worth the price. Depending on the fish you plan to keep, a lid is a good idea. a lot of smaller sw fish are jumpers. A good option is to make a lid out of egg crate (find it in the...

    i want to start a nano tank

    Also, I would recommend about half that amount of sand. With a deeper sand bed, you run the risk of anerobic gas pockets building up. You could go with a true deep sand bed, but really, in a tank this small, you are probably better to go with a shallow sand bed and do regular vacuming.

    i want to start a nano tank

    The ac 110 will be plenty for a 20 gallon tank. also, you will only need 1 wp10. I ran 1 in my 38 gallon cube (apx 32 gallon display) for a while and it was plenty of flow. I think 2 might be overkill in a tank that size, especially if you are just going FOWLR.

    SPS lighting question

    I would suggest picking up a cheap timer from somewhere like Walmart and put the light on a timer. You can get one for a few bucks and it will make your life a whole lot easier. :-)

    Nicole's 72g Reef Tank

    Agree with Bribo, that looks like a frogspawn. I love your brain coral, very pretty. Nice tank :)

    Something from live rock

    Looks like a stomatella. I have them, and I have seen mine do that before. from what I gather, they are spitting eggs.

    New 4g work desk tank

    What are you doing for top off for this tank? I just finished cycling my 5 gallon work tank and I am not sure what route to take for top off. I have just been doing manual top offs but Im worried about the weekends. I am not losing a lot of evap, but enough that it may affect corals once I...

    What's a good power head

    Another "middle of the road" option for powerheads is the Jeabo WP10. Not as fancy as the vortechs, but at apx 60 bucks, they are pretty sweet!

    Yea, I want some Sunny Ds and blondies in the near future. My LFS just got a nice colony of LA Lakers in that they are gonna frag. Got my name on a frag already, lol. They also got a 6 polyp frag of some blue hornets which I snatched up yesterday. Little worried it may have pox, but I got a...

    Planning new rimless build-answers and advice

    While that looks really cool and sleek, I dont know it would be worth the risk for me. If your tank overflowed, those pumps would be toast....or really, any variety of reasons that they would get splashed on, or too much condensation. if you want them there, maybe look at some other pumps that...

    bryopsis or hair algae?

    Thanks X. So far, it has not seemed to spread any, so I will just keep an eye on it and try not to stress unless it starts spreading.

    Dojo's

    I love my dojos. They are awesome! They are in a tropical community kept at about 78 degrees, and they do just fine. Had my guys for almost 2 years now, and I would have more if I had a bigger tank, lol.

    bryopsis or hair algae?

    Hi all, I have a small spot of algae in my reef tank, and I am not sure if thid is hair algae or bryopsis. It almost looks like it might be kind of feathery, but Im just not sure. It is currenly only one 1 rock, no where else. Nitrates are testing at zero and phosphates are zero to .25. API...
