I will start by doing some larger water changes but don't really want this to be the permanent fix since that will be a lot of water. I will wait for my refugium to start helping. I also have been doing lots of reading about bio pellets, and dosing carbon. I think I am going to try and start...

Yes I run a ro/di unit and know my water is at zero tds and nitrate. I am thinking of starting a vodka or vinegar dosing. Anyone have experience with this? I do water change but not large ones at least not compared to my system. I change about 20 gallons of water every two weeks the total...

Hey everyone i am dealing with some higher levels of nitrates then I would like. They seem to be holding around 10 lately and I am not sure why. I started a refugium about two weeks ago in a separate 10 gallon tank that feed my existing 50 gallon sump. I have a 4" sand bed and some chaeto in the...

I have a 265 gallon tank and run the 12000 currently but wish I went with the 15000. For you I would say go with the 12000 and get the new version it's a Jabeo dct-12000. I would just make sure you are oversized since it has the flow control you can turn it down. Sent from my iPhone using...

I am using the Jabeo dc pump. It comes in a couple sizes and the flow can be changed on the remote. Also has a feed option which shuts off the pump and then turns back on slowly to avoid churning and noise too I guess. It runs great and is quite. Have had my running for almost a year. Sent...

This is the current setup Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks I had those lights over my old 90 gallon reef and they did work fine. I was thinking of adding them to the lights I have now but I am not sure I also like the cree led kits I have been looking at. Was just wondering if the current light I have could grow any corals so I could start...

Hello all. I have not posted here in a while life has been very busy. I have a 265 gallon saltwater tank setup. It has been set up as a fowlr tank for about 9-10 months with just a few fish. Now I have some time again to expand my tank. I only have two current orbit lights over the tank I think...

So I did another test today I was expecting to see the nitrate a little higher today but found the nitrate went down? The nitrite is still high but the nitrate came down. Ammonia is very low should I be adding more ammonia? I was just using fish food feeding a small amount daily. I didn't have...

Yea it's on the bottom glass and I did epoxy a few pieces together but the macro rock is amazing and stacks so nice. Thanks so much to whoever recommended them they have an Amazing product wish I knew about them sooner Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

What is making this web I just found. Is it an animal or something just growing? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So the tank is cycling great now I am trying to make up a stock list and decide what fish to introduce first. I want an emperor angel and some kind of eel. Other than that I don't really know. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Quick question I am working on making a canopy for my tank and plan on using led's to light the tank. Should I cover the tank? I want something over it so fish and possibly eels won't get out but would just some sort of screen work? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I just read an article on msn this morning about Zoas putting off a palytoxin that can be dangerous and has hospitalized multiple people. I knew they had some poisonous property but didn't know it was that bad. I will not endanger my family with my hobby. Anyone know more about this? Sent from...

I did have a ball valve and with closing it just a bit I was able to get it running good. The water has cleared up so I'm going to start cycling the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Well despite all my rookie issues the tank is starting to look good (at least IMO). I threaded two ball valves into the holes I drilled in the top of my overflows and with a lot of tweaking I got them working better although I still feel I have to much flow with the main pump. Going to test my...

Yes I have I have it running now. I just realized if I plug the hole in the top of the 1 inch cap that I thought I was supposed to put it starts to work. Why do I need a small hole in this cap. That's what I read to do for the overflow maybe I was wrong? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The pump wasn't running in the picture Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have 2 one inch overflows The pump is 35.6 gallons per minute with one inch plumbing also Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I finally got the tank filled and plugged in the pump. The pump is over powering my overflows. There is no drop of water in the overflows. Is there any way to slow down the pump? If not I guess I need to buy a new smaller one. I can't drain anymore water then I already am. At least I had no...

I have about 26" from the bottom of the sump to the bottom of the aquarium. The sump is 18 deep x 36 long x 17 tall. The chamber I was hoping to put the sump in is 17 x 11 x 17 tall. The entire stand is 84 x 24 x 32. I don't know what kind of equipment I am going to run yet but I know I need a...

Here is the latest picture of the tank. Got the sand and base rock in and almost have it filled. So I have a few questions here. Once I get it topped off and the main pump running I was going to add live rock to seed the rest. Do I need a protein skimmer running during this time of seeding the...

I feel like a kid on Christmas Day. Got my rock and heater today and a power head just to get things moving till I can get the tank filled and start my main pump. My sand won't be here till tomorrow though but I have plenty to do till then. First question the heater is a 1000 watt heater but has...
