    New (to me) acrylic 120 gal, need help!

    I checked today, and a 40 breeder will not fit under the stand without modifying the stand, which is made from acrylic.

    New (to me) acrylic 120 gal, need help!

    Would a reeflo hammerhead be too much for this tank? I calculated about 45 to 47x turn over between the two pumps. Will this much flow be too much for softies? What kind of outlets should I use for the return? I'm thinking of doing 8 returns, and two drains, so add not to create to much suction...

    Another flow question

    Would this be enough for say LPS and SPS? I'm going to be upgrading in a couple years, and would like to begin growing out corals for the new setup.

    HELP with umbrella leather!

    Will colt corals and Umbrellas harm each other? It seems that when one is looking good, the other looks crappy. This is the only thing I can think of as to why they look bad.

    HELP with umbrella leather!

    Hey guys, I've got a 7" umbrella leather with three heads on it. The problem that I'm having with it is that it will look amazing for a couple of days, then it will shrink, and turn a greyish color for a couple more, then look good for a couple more days, and so on. I've also got a colt coral...

    Another new set up, few questions

After typing the dimensions in the tank size calculator, I found out that it is actually a 125 gal tank. I was kinda disappointed, but this tank is huge and I think I am going...

    Hey guys, I found what I believe to be a 180 gal, non drilled tank for a great price. It only comes with the tank. I am planning on drilling it, making a stand and canopy, light, possibly making a skimmer and fuge, and I am looking into making my own rock. I was wondering if anyone has had any...

    Rock lowering PH?

    Hey all, I recently purchased some lace rock and some big pieces of brownish red lava rock to try to get a good base for my live rock. I have been fighting low PH for about a week now. I was wondering if lava rock will lower the PH of the tank? It hasn't been really drastic, but seems to drop...
