I've got a brand new, in the box, never plugged in, Iwaki WMD40RXLT pump for sale. It's not big enough for the return on my 180 so had to buy a bigger pump. It would be perfect for a closed loop or a return pump on a smaller tank, or a great pump for that monster skimmer you have!

I have a chance to buy a factory rebuilt Dolphin amp master 4000/3000 for a really great price. Is this a good pump? Can I trust a factory rebuild unit? My Iwaki WMD40RXLT isn't enough for the return on my 180 and I need a pump that will handle the flow from my basement sump. I need to give an...

We've decided to put the sump for the 180 reef we are building in the basement. It's an Oceanic wet/dry Model 3. I think it's about 40 gallons. We'll probably build a stand that's at least 4' off the floor so we can reduce the head height to the display tank. Ceiling in basement is standard 8 ft...

I'm getting close to the point of moving my 180 to it's new spot so I need to clean it thoroughly. My biggest fear is that since it was a FO tank, he may have used medication with copper. He wasn't there when I picked it up and he's moved and I have no way of contacting him. Right now it's in my...

I just bought this dvoneb aqua ro/di unit from the [hr] site: "Zero 0 ppm RO+(2)DI 125GPD Reverse Osmosis Water Filter" Does anyone have one of these? I've read around some and I've seen negative and positive feedback on the [hr] site ro/di filters in general but nothing on this one. I had...

I bought a 180g used set up and I got a huge tub (250 lbs or more) of sand with it that is not live since the tank had been broken down and everything was dry. The guy I bought the tank from didn't know what kind of sand it was. I can't really tell by looking at it. It's pretty fine grain and...

I found a source for Aquatic Light Systems SunBurst 175watt 12,000k bulb. They want $59 each for them which seems awfully reasonable. Does anyone know about this brand? I've got 3 x 175watt mh and 2 x 90watt pc's in my 180 canopy. I bought it used and I don't know how old the bulbs are. I am not...

I have a 180 that I will be setting up soon. I bought it used from a guy who used it as a FO system. I need to make some changes since I will be making it into a reef tank. It isn't drilled for a closed loop system and I don't think that the two returns from the sump & fuge will provide enough...

I will be setting up my 180 soon and need help with possible stocking list. Oceanic 180 (72X24X24) Oceanic model 150 trickle filter (I'll use as a sump) 29g or 37g refugium not sure what will fit under cabinet 3 X 175w mh 2 X 96w pc 2 X 65w pc CPR skimmer in sump (Seaclone 100 skimmer on fuge?)...

We bought this setup last night FOR $700.00 :joy: from a guy who is moving. Here's what all we got, let me know what you think please. Oceanic 180g reef tank (72X24X24) w/Oceanic oak stand custom oak canopy with fans 3 - 250w metal halide 10,000k (w/mogul base) lights 2 - 96w pc's with full...

I don't have complete details, but I am going to look at this tank tomorrow? I don't know brands of any of this yet. He is asking $800 for it all. It was a FOWL 180 gallon glass tank (drilled w/overflows) (72X24X24) custom stand and canopy w/fans his description of lights are: 2 blue halogens 2...

I was at an auction last weekend put on by a local fish club and bought an Iwaki 40RLXT mag drive pump for $75. I think it was a pretty good deal since they seem pretty expensive on line. I probably put the cart before the horse but here goes. I am planning an upgrade to a larger tank. Size...

The LFS told me he thought this was a type of blastomussa, but I haven't seen any pictures that looked like my coral. Right now I think it's not very happy because it hasn't expanded much lately. My alk & kh are both a bit low so that may be the problem. I've bought a different buffer and hope...

I think I want to try making some of the rock for the upgrade tank (120g) I'm planning. I've seen several different articles about how to create your own using Portland cement and crushed oyster shells. The photos of "fake" rock look great and I love the idea of making cool arches and custom...

I have a very large (for my 37 gallon) finger leather (sinularia flexibilis) and it has outgrown my tank. When I got it, it was probably 4" high by 5" wide and now, after only 3 months, it's about 10" high by 12" wide. It brushes up against the front glass and is getting way too close to my...

Can anyone identify this mushroom for me? It's pretty large, about 3 1/2" in diameter when fully expanded. It is much greener in the center than this picture show. It glows very flourescent under my actinics. I would love to have more but so far it hasn't reproduced and I'm afraid to frag it. (I...

I am wondering if this could be caused by my sand bed being too deep, but not deep enough for a "deep sand bed". The sand bed is between 2 1/2" to 3 1/2" deep. After reading about this being a problem, we've started to take out some sand every water change. But since we can't move the live rock...

I Know That The Seaclone 100 Skimmer Gets A Lot Of Bad Rap, And I Am Curious What The Problem Is With Them. I Have A Seaclone 100 On My 37 Gallon Reef. I Really Don't Have To Adjust It Often At All. Usually Only After We Do A "big" Tank Clean Up And I've Stirred Up The Sand Bed Etc. When I...

I have a small Xenia that I bought on a rock that has a couple mushrooms and a tiny piece of Halimeda. The Halimeda has grown so fast and big that it was rubbing on the stalk of the Xenia. I was going to move the algae to another rock but hadn't done it yet. I noticed yesterday that the stalk of...
